Air interface identification for Software Radio systems

Non-conventional multi-carrier air interface for mobile radio systems

for the technical discussions, the endless support and the friendship. Thanks to Jessie, Guixia, Dan, Roger and Maran who are sharing my same experience at Siemens AG. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family. In Italy: my mother, my father, my brothers and all my relatives in Saccolongo. In Germany: my wife Corinna to whom this thesis is dedicated.

Scaling FPGA Systems for Software Radio

With the drive for software defined radio systems, FPGAs are playing a key role in handling the higher data rates to and from the analog front end of these systems. Furthermore, basestations are handling ever increasing channel numbers and the algorithm complexity is also continuing to increase. Traditionally systems scalability was achieved using farms of processors, associated with these, ope...

Software Safety for Air Traffic Management Systems

The introduction of advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) functionality is often heralded as a safety improvement. On the whole, the introduction of advanced ATM functionality will probably reduce the likelihood of an accident. However, its introduction may also entail new sources of safety risk that need to be carefully weighed against the safety benefits of advanced ATM functionality. Many ne...
