Measured Data Rate From Adaptive Modulation in Wideband OFDM Systems

Overview Adaptive modulation is implemented on a wideband OFDM transceiver prototype to quantify its performance in indoor wireless environment. The measurements indicate that over a bandwidth of 100 MHz, the channel varies quite significantly. With a target uncoded Bit Error Rate of 10-3, it is found that at link distances of 1.0 to 10.8 meters, the data rate varies from 395 Mbps to 76 Mbps. The measured adaptive average data rate is 2.88 times the average data rate without adaptive modulation. Furthermore, the adaptive modulation is 8.9% of the entire transceiver modem which means it is of low complexity.

Pipex lays bandwidth woes at BT's door

David Rickards, managing director of Pipex, said BT was simply shoving as much data as possible down Pipex's single 155 Mbps pipe. He commented: "Users may legitimately ask their ISP, 'Why did you get me to sign up by saying this is miles better...

What's the fuss about... storage networking?

However, the definition of virtualisation varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, from virtual physical ports on hardware, through virtual placement in a silo, to all storage assets being viewed as a single, infinitely expansible pool.

Powerline coming of age

Distances of up to 400m can be reached along the power cables - this represents the maximum normal length of a low voltage cable since the voltage drop over longer ones precludes their use for electricity distribution.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Linking IT and business - at last

IBM refers to the 'on-demand business' and HP talks about its 'adaptive infrastructure'. One reason is the downright complexity of existing IT environments. At its heart, this is about removing complexity, not adding to it, says Computer Associates...

Devil's Advocate: In search of wireless nirvana

Taking both power and data to desks, which in modern flexible offices frequently have to be moved, more than doubles the complexity and work involved. Offering this through the ethernet link has attractions but only if the network link is a cable.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
