Recent communications environment significantly expands the mobile environment. The popularization of smartphones with various mobile services has emerged, and smartphone users are rapidly increasing. Because of these symptoms, existing wired environment in a variety of mobile traffic entering to mobile network has threatened the stability of the mobile network. Unlike traditional wired infrast...

Multicast transmission is one of the major goals for Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) that motivated the 3 Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to launch the Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) framework. MBMS constitutes a significant step towards the so-called Mobile Broadband, since it allows the efficient utilization of network and radio resources. One of most imp...

The rapid growth of mobile communication and the proliferation of smartphones have drawn significant attention to location-based services (LBSs). One of the most important factors in the vitalization of LBSs is the accurate position estimation of a mobile device. The Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS) is a new positioning method that measures received signal strength indication (RSSI) data from all...

Currently, many operators worldwide are deploying Long Term Evolution (LTE) to provide much faster access with lower latency and higher efficiency than its predecessors 3G and 3.5G. Meanwhile, the service rollout of LTE-Advanced, which is an evolution of LTE and a “true 4G” mobile broadband, is being underway to further enhance LTE performance. However, the anticipated challenges of the next de...

We present a multiuser synchronization scheme for tracking the mobile’s uplink time and frequency offsets. It uses the redundancy introduced by the cyclic prefix and does not need additional pilots. We show performance results of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based radio interface based on universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) parameters. For a UMTS-typical mob...

Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is being touted as the most promising and potential broadband wireless technology. And the popularity rate has been surging to newer heights as the knowledge-backed service era unfolds steadily. Especially Mobile WiMAX is being projected as a real and strategic boon for developing counties such as India due to its wireless coverage ...

Modern Land Mobile Radio has the potential for large growth in the near future. Current regulations have set the stage for a required transition to more spectrally efficient technologies. While several organizations are working to ease this transition, there still remain many details and feature sets which the end user must decide amongst and often there is no clear dividing line between these ...

The field of wireless and mobile communication has a remarkable history that spans over a century of technology innovations from Marconi’s first transatlantic transmission in 1899 to the worldwide adoption of cellular mobile services by over four billion people today. Wireless has become one of the most pervasive core technology enablers for a diverse variety of computing and communications app...

Wireless technology is creating a revolution in communications. While systems such as broadcast radio and television have been around for many years, many new types of wireless communication systems are emerging such as digital cellular, personal communications services (PCS), and packet radio. Two powerful techniques are usually employed to make communication over wireless mobile fading channe...

rfid system is a wireless technology that can transfer data between tags and readers via radio frequency. in an rfid network, readers are located close to each other to obtain optimal connectivity and sufficient coverage. in such an environment, which is called dense reader environment (dre).different types of collisions such as reader-to-reader and reader-to-tag ones, often lead to serious pro...
