This paper examines the feasibility of Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based passive radar for detecting ground moving targets. Specifically, the focus of this paper is to describe the proposed LTE-based passive radar system and to conduct an experiment using a real LTE eNB transmitter as an illumination source. Seven scenarios were carried out to investigate the detection performance of the proposed...

Cross-technology communication (CTC) was proposed in recent literature as a way to exploit the opportunities of collaboration between heterogeneous wireless technologies. This paper presents LtFi, a system which enables to set-up a CTC between nodes of co-located LTE-U and WiFi networks. LtFi follows a two-step approach: using the air-interface LTE-U BSs are broadcasting connection and identifi...

The demands for traffic and services through the mobile networks are ever increasing. Multi-tier has become a major trend in the design of new generations of mobile networks such as advanced long term evolution ( LTE-A) networks in order to support the high capacity demand required for multiservice traffic in wireless networks. Picocell emerged as one of the key radio access techniques for LTE-...

Achieving a tighter level of aggregation between LTE and Wi-Fi networks at the radio access network (a.k.a. LTE-Wi-Fi Aggregation or LWA) has become one of the most prominent solutions in the era of 5G to boost network capacity and improve end user's quality of experience. LWA offers flexible resource scheduling decisions for steering user traffic via LTE and Wi-Fi links. In this work, we propo...

The combination of MIMO and OFDM becomes a key standardization work for the downlink channel in 3G Long-Term Evolution (3G-LTE). This paper studies one of the core techniques of 3G-LTE downlink: the coding and decoding schemes in a time-variable multipath environment. It discusses the MIMO schemes for 3G-LTE downlink, the STBC/SFBC, SFTC/STTC and Group layered SFC coding-decoding schemes. This ...

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for data transmission in Long Term Evolution (LTE) methods based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). In OFDM scheme we compare Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) based OFDM with wavelet based technique. In this method, DWT-COIFLET (Discrete wavelet transform) is used for wavelet decomposition, we compare COIFLET wavelet with traditional wav...

The LTE Saha–Boltzman plasma ionization balance model and the Braginskii plasma electric resistance model are compared with the results by the suit of codes based on the average atom model, which is a quantum-mechanical version of the Temperature Dependent Thomas–Fermi Theory. The analysis is focused on low-Z Al, mid-Z Cu and higher-Z Mo plasmas in a broad ranges of electron temperature Te and ...

The role of optical Fe iii absorption lines in B-type stars as iron abundance diagnostics is considered. To date, ultraviolet Fe lines have been widely used in B-type stars, although line blending can severely hinder their diagnostic power. Using optical spectra, covering a wavelength range ∼ 3560 – 9200 Å, a sample of Galactic B-type main-sequence and supergiant stars of spectral types B0.5 to...

LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) proposed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has successfully applied to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2010 to be accepted as an IMT-Advanced (IMT-A) compliant 4G mobile radio system. As part of this application 3GPP has provided LTE-A system level simulation results for cell spectral efficiency and cell edge user spectral efficiency. The I...

Railway environments cannot be away from the current evolution of public communication systems. The Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile communication system is considered to be the natural evolution for current Global System for Mobile Communications Railways (GSM-R). LTE all IP networking technology plays a key role for the integration and convergence of heterogeneous networks and services, both ...
