Applicability of Repeaters for Hotspots in UMTS

Overview The aim of this paper is to assess the applicability of repeaters for downlink capacity improvement in hotspots through field measurements. Deployment of repeaters in capacity-limited scenarios requires more careful radio network planning compared to the traditional approach for operation in coverage-limited environment. The results of the field measurements conducted in an urban UMTS network reveal that a proper configuration of a repeater can provide a substantial downlink capacity gain, which indicates the suitability of the repeaters also in capacity-limited environments. Besides, obtained outcomes show that repeaters can improve dominance in pilot polluted areas, which on the contrary reduces SHO rates.

Intel does Asian WiMax deal

But Wi-Fi is slower, and its coverage area is much smaller than WiMax, requiring many "hotspots" to cover a large metropolitan area. Some say the resulting dominance - firms in the two industries have exclusive agreements to provide cable or local...

Use your mobile on the Tube from 2009?

Assuming the pilot is successful, TfL will also investigate introducing DAB digital radio and wi-fi coverage. Transport for London (TfL) announced today it has put out a tender notice for a pilot project to put mobile coverage on the Waterloo and...

3.5G network growth ramping up

HSDPA, or high speed downlink packet access, is a beefed up flavour of 3G capable of delivering downlink speeds of up to a theoretical maximum of 7.2Mbps. Almost two-thirds (62 per cent) of existing commercial HSDPA networks support downlink speeds...

Mobiles go underground in Glasgow

If the pilot is successful coverage is likely to be rolled out to other Tube lines and extended to include DAB digital radio and wi-fi coverage. U is for UMTS Transport for London is due to start underground connectivity trials this year with a...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
