Context‐aware hybrid satellite‐terrestrial broadband access

Broadband Hybrid Wireless Broadband

Wireless access networks are evolving rapidly and hold the promise of significantly altering the landscape for broadband competition. In a companion paper, we explained why wireless networks are unlikely to converge toward the sort of broadband platform network exemplified by wired Next Generation Access Networks. In this paper we present in more detail the future architecture we see most likel...

Experiences from Monitoring a Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial Broadband Access Network

broadband data networks, access networks, network monitoring & management, hybrid fiber coaxial network technology Hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) technology is emerging as one of the means of delivering high-speed data services to the home. Cable operators worldwide are deploying HFC networks to enable subscriber accesses to the World Wide Web, to Email, Chat rooms, and other data services at speed...

Broadband Data Access over Hybrid DVB-T Networks

Contemporary DVB-based digital terrestrial systems (DVB-T, DVB-H) provide an efficient distribution network not only for DTV programs, but also for interactive data services. When combined with an appropriate interaction network (return channel), the DVB platform can act as the downlink in a hybrid asymmetric network, enabling for bidirectional broadband data access, supporting Internet connect...

Broadband Access via Satellite

Broadband Fixed Radio Access

The requirements for the digital signal processing of broadband wireless access systems are investigated. A discussion of different multiple access schemes considering the boundary conditions of future services is given, resulting in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) proposal. The dominant TDMA component is the adaptive equalizer. Different eligible equalizer structures and adaptation algo...
