The standardisation work of GSM-based systems has its roots in the 1980s, when a standardisation body ‘Groupe Special Mobile’ (GSM)1 was created within the Conference Europeenne des Postes et Telecommunications (CEPT), whose task was to develop a unique digital radio communication system for Europe, at 900 MHz. Since the early days of GSM development, the system has experienced extensive modifi...

This study presents a full-duplex Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) system providing the users' wireless access with a bit rate of 10 Gbps over 40 GHz radio carrier. This system can be used in a centralized radio access network (C-RAN) architecture because we provide a fully analog front haul link between central station and base station. We can consider it as infrastructure between remote radio heads (RR...

Traditionally, radio resources are released in cellular networks by statically configured inactivity timers, causing substantial resource inefficiencies. We propose a novel system RadioProphet (RP), which dynamically and intelligently determines in real time when to deallocate radio resources by predicting the network idle time based on traffic history. We evaluate RP using 7month-long real-wor...

In multihop cellular networks (MCN), the user nodes can act as relays and forward other nodes’ traffic to/from base stations. There are several advantages of MCN such as the improved signal quality and higher coverage. However, it is known that multihop relaying networks require extra radio resources. Therefore the performance of MCN depends to a great extent on the availability of adequate rad...

Cellular communications using high altitude platforms (HAPs) will predominate the existing conventional terrestrial or satellite systems but requires some optimization especially in the cellular radio coverage design. The design of HAPs cellular system suffers from increasing cell area when directing the same beam to cover lower elevation regions and therefore requires some modification in its ...

The channel allocation problem in cellular radio systems is NP-complete, and thus its general solution is not known for even the 2-channel case. It is well known that the link gain system matrix (or received-signal power system matrix) of the radio network is (and may be highly) asymmetric, and that as the Hopfield neural network is applied to optimization problems, its weight matrix should be ...

In this paper, we present ICEPT, a new mobile radio network planning tool that is based on an integrated design approach. The new approach starts with the analysis of the spatial distribution of the expected teletra c within the service area of the cellular system. Employing this principle, the ICEPT tool considers concurrently the four major design areas of cellular networks: Radio Transmissio...

it is shown in [1] that the optimal downlink radio resource allocation for non-realtime traffic in cellular cdma/tdma networks can be mapped to a multi-dimensional multiple-choice knapsack problem (mmkp) which is np-hard. in this correspondence we propose a heuristic algorithm with polynomial time complexity for this problem. numerical results indicate significant computational performance impr...
