A dynamic and open service market should be characterised by the frequent appearance of new and diverse services. But in the internet environment, where a significant proportion of the functionality of new services is supported by Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), deployment can be an issue. How can such a diverse range of new services be easily deployed particularly in a heterogeneous environ...

A 2D finite-differences time-domain full-wave code is used to simulate the measurements of plasma filaments with fixed frequency O-mode reflectometry. The plasma is modeled by a linear slab plasma plus a Gaussian perturbation propagating in a direction that can vary from poloidal to radial. The plasma background density gradient is chosen in agreement with the steep edge transport barrier of H-...

At ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), a new compact solid-state detector has been installed to measure the energy spectrum of fast neutrals based on the principle described by Shinohara et al. [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 75, 3640 (2004)]. The diagnostic relies on the usual charge exchange of supra-thermal fast-ions with neutrals in the plasma. Therefore, the measured energy spectra directly correspond to those of co...

We propose a generic and computationally efficient framework within which input XML data can be transformed depending on environment descriptions (e.g., terminal capabilities) and rule descriptions (e.g., access policies). We adopt a hybrid approach; the transformation engine consists of XSLT and DOM processors. The input XML data is transformed by an XSLT instance that is adapted by a DOM prog...

Introduction of LTE (Long Term Evolution) brings enhanced quality for 3GPP multimedia services. The high throughput and low latency of LTE enable higher quality media coding than what is possible in UMTS. LTE-specific codecs have not yet been defined but work on them is ongoing in 3GPP. The LTE codecs are expected to improve the basic signal quality, but also to offer new capabilities such as e...

The Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a class of reprogrammable and reconfigurable radios which can be switched from one air-interface to another. It is generally employed in software, which can be easily realized on base-station side. On terminal-side, the configurability of the radio has to be maintained in hybrid architecture, consist of both software as well as hardware, due to computational ...

As the driving forces of technological change continue to increase exponentially as predicted by Moores’ law, we have been witnessing in the last years major breakthroughs in the fields of wireless and mobile communications as well as unprecedented proliferation of multimedia enabled devices and networks. These devices can consume remote multimedia contents by connecting wirelessly through diff...
