Drones are considered to be an important part of future 6G telecommunication systems. Thanks their quick deployment potential, they provide additional connectivity options in the form a flying hotspot. However, such use cases, typically require wireless backhaul link facilitate proper operation, which might challenging task dense urban environments. One potential methods that may relied upon con...

This review paper, takes into account previously published papers based on human exposure to electromagnetic fields which is radiated from cellular base stations and its corresponding adverse effects on human beings. This paper reviews the estimation and evaluation of the human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF); these radiated fields from cellular base stations which aim to verify the ex...

BACKGROUND There is a general concern on the possible hazardous health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations (RFR) emitted from mobile phone base station antennas on the human nervous system. AIM To identify the possible neurobehavioral deficits among inhabitants living nearby mobile phone base stations. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on (85) inhabi...

We study the problem of assigning non-overlapping geometric objects centered at a given set of points such that the sum of area covered by them is maximized. If the points are placed on a straight-line and the objects are disks, then the problem is solvable in polynomial time. However, we show that the problem is NP-hard even for simplest objects like disks or squares in R. Eppstein [CCCG, page...

In second and third generation cellular networks the rollout of base stations needs to be conscientiously prepared, because their radio configuration should match with the coverage provided by existing cells in their neighborhood. The detailed radio planning for every new cell requires considerable human resources and time. This paper proposes a framework for 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) that c...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of short-term GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cellular phone base station RF-EMF (radiofrequency electromagnetic fields) exposure on psychological symptoms (good mood, alertness, calmness) as measured by a standardized well-being questionnaire. Fifty-seven participants were selected and randomly assigned to one of three differen...

A performance analysis of an access channel decoder is presented which exploits a diversity gain due to the independent magnitude of received signals energy at each of the antenna elements of a smart-antenna base-station transceiver subsystem (BTS) operating in CDMA2000 1X signal environment. The objective is to enhance the data retrieval at cellsite during the access period, for which the opti...

Repeaters have been an attractive solution for mobile operators to upgrade their wireless networks at low cost and to extend network coverage effectively. Since the first LTE commercial deployment in 2009, many mobile operators have launched LTE networks by upgrading their 3G and legacy networks. Because all 3G frequency bands are shared with the frequency bands for LTE deployment and 3G mobile...
