base station
Photos: Emerging tech from location-based services to social networking
Photo The information from the sensors is sent out using wireless signals to a base station that organises the data. The Vizit digital photo frame, seen here, is made by a small start-up Isabella. But US... [09 Nov 2009]
Photos: Sony unleashes latest Vaios - from mini laptops to touchscreens
Photo This shows the Thames with the London Eye and Waterloo station in view. The base model comes in at £1,300 and the range-topping version will cost around £1,800. The base model will cost... [14 Oct 2009]
Move over 2G, Europe agrees to give 3G some space
News This band is at a much lower frequency than the current European 3G bands between 1,900MHz and 2,170MHz, giving it superior propagation and building-penetration properties, and making it cheaper to cover a given area, although not a... [29 Jul 2009]
'RFID in all new mobiles by next summer'
News Another example of leveraging location data is to create real-time road traffic maps generated by analysing the speed of mobile phone base station hand-off to ascertain how fast cars are travelling on... [24 Jun 2009]
Photos: Intel's experimental tech unveiled
Photo Grouping the calls means the WiMax base station can issue commands in bulk rather than individually, reducing the overhead of the communications and freeing up capacity for more callers. Intel Labs... [22 Jun 2009]
Cheat Sheet: LTE - beyond 3G
Cheat Sheet Still, it's not massively surprising being as it's early days for Long Term Evolution: while 26 operators globally have committed to LTE, the world's first radio base station in a commercial LTE network... [12 Jun 2009]
UK mobiles getting just a quarter of pledged speed
News The stress put on a cell - the area served by a base station - by many users appeared to be an issue, as average mobile-broadband speeds doubled to 1.8Mbps at 03:00(GMT) on weekdays. The average... [11 Jun 2009]
Photos: The top five UK supercomputing projects
Photo A lot of work also goes into correcting for potential red herrings in the images such as planes or the International Space Station going overhead. At Leicester University, the Spectrum HPC is looking at variations in the... [18 May 2009]
Implementation of a Digital IF Transceiver for SDR-Based WiMAX Base Station
White Paper This paper presents the implementation and performance of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology-based-Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) transceiver for IEEE 802.16d standard, often referred to as a WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability... [23 Apr 2009]
Planning Base Station and Relay Station Locations in IEEE 802.16j Multi-Hop Relay Networks
White Paper In this paper, a problem formulation for determining optimal node location for Base Stations (BSs) and Relay Stations (RSs) in relay-based 802.16 networks is developed. The formulation results in an Integer Programming... [23 Apr 2009]
Multiple Antenna Systems in WiMAX
White Paper Multiple antenna systems are being implemented in both Airspan's Base Station and Subscriber / Mobile Stations. Increasingly the WiMAX technology will be integrated into portable devices such as laptops... [23 Apr 2009]
Coverage Extension of WiMax Using Multihop in a Low User Density Environment
White Paper The usage of multihop transmission enables a cost efficient extension of the coverage of a base station (BS) especially in low user density environment. In this paper, a network consisting of BSs and... [23 Apr 2009]
Achieving True Video-on-Demand Service in Multi-Hop WiMax Mesh Networks
White Paper The authors are interested in the scenario that end users connect to the video servers through the base station of the multi-hop WiMax networks. This paper discusses how to support Video-on-Demand... [23 Apr 2009]
Using WiMAX Technology to Improve Volcano Monitoring: The WEIRD System
White Paper This access technology allows reaching high bit rate and covering large areas with a single Base Station (BS). IEEE 802.16 standards (IEEE, 2004; IEEE, 2005), commonly known as WiMAX (Worldwide... [23 Apr 2009]
Adaptive Scheduling Method for WiMAX Basestations
White Paper For these purposes, the base station must allocate slots based on some algorithm. This paper presents an adaptive scheduling and call admission control model for the revenue maximization. IEEE 802.16... [23 Apr 2009]
