Abstract

Working within the Mobile VCE a team formed from several leading UK university departments, in association with industry representatives, has been addressing challenges of the modern wideband radio environment. A focus of the team´s work has been to generate new mobile radio data-centric architectures capable of delivering a high quality of service and a high network capacity while coping with the little-known outdoor-to-indoor interface. In order to address this latter interface, unique propagation data have been captured and new channel models have been proposed to describe their behaviour. Finally, performance predictions have been conducted using a new simulation platform
