This paper analyzes an emerging architecture of cellular network utilizing both planar base stations uniformly distributed in Euclidean plane and base stations located on roads. An example of this architecture is that where, in addition to conventional planar cellular base stations and users, vehicles also play the role of both base stations and users. A Poisson line process is used to model th...

As the mobile telecommunication systems are tremendously growing allover the world then the numbers of handheld and base stations are also rapidly growing and it became very popular to see these base stations distributed everywhere in the neighborhood and on roof tops which has caused a considerable amount of panic to the public in Palestine concerning wither the radiated electromagnetic field ...

Femtocell is a small cellular base station, typically designed for use in a home or small business. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) current designs typically support 2 to 4 active mobile phones in a residential setting, and 8 to 16 active mobile phones in a enterprise settings. In this paper, we focus on how received signal quality can be impro...

This paper proposes several configurations for multiple base stations in indoor MIMO systems and compares their performance. The results are based on channel measurements realized with a MIMO testbed. The receiver was moved along several routes and floors on an office building. Both outdoor and indoor locations are considered for the transmitters or base stations, which allow the analysis of no...

Consider a scenario where radio base stations need to send data to users with wireless devices. Time is discrete and slotted into synchronous rounds. Transmitting a data item from a base station to a user takes one round. A user can receive the data item from any of the base stations. The positions of the base stations and users are modeled as points in Euclidean space. If base station b transm...

Rapidly deployable wireless networks consist of mobile base stations and less powerful mobile hosts. The mobile base stations have to maintain wireless connectivity while on the move along pre-de ned paths. Physical obstructions and wireless range limitations may prevent a pair of mobile base stations from establishing a wireless link. We study situations of distance-constrained mobility, and f...

After the establishment of the first quarantine station in the Republic of Ragusa (modern-day Dubrovnik) in 1377, the states and principalities of Italy developed a sophisticated system of defensive quarantine in an attempt to protect themselves from the ravages of plague. Using largely unknown and unseen historical maps, this paper reconstructs the extent and operation of the system used. It i...

An overview of research activity in the area of powering base station sites by means of renewable energy sources is given. It is shown that mobile network operators express significant interest for powering remote base stations using renewable energy sources. This is because a significant percentage of remote base station sites on the global level are still diesel powered due to lack of connect...

Recently, stochastic geometry models for wireless communication networks have been attracting much attention. This is because the performance of such networks critically depends on the spatial configuration of wireless nodes and the irregularity of node configuration in a real network can be captured by a spatial point process. However, most analyses of such stochastic geometry models for wirel...
