The radio spectrum requirements of broadband power line telecommunications systems.
There is concern among short wave (HF) radio users that broadband Power Line telecommunications (PLT) systems could cause serious interference to their services. The purpose of my research was to identify the factors that determine the performance of broadband PLT systems and to investigate how to maximise system performance while minimising the effect of PLT on HF radio systems. The study concentrates on the requirements for Access Band systems used to provide local loop service operating on 230/400V three-phase Low Voltage mains distribution networks. The basis of the study is a comprehensive set of measurements made on Low Voltage mains distribution networks in the UK, mainland Europe and Australia. The new approach to PLT band planning taken in this thesis uses Claude Shannon's information theory to predict the data capacity of arbitrary 3MHz sub bands. The results of the measurement programme are used to determine an optimum frequency band plan for PLT systems, taking account of the needs of the systems and the protection of other users of the HF spectrum. An example of how the proposed band plan can be used on a typical LV distribution network is included. The use of the mathematical models with the results of the attenuation, noise and emission measurements show that it is possible to improve on both the frequency band plans proposed in current PLT standards and the nonstandard frequency usage of many PLT trial systems. This will facilitate the achievement of competitive performance without causing undue radio interference, thus potentially making broadband PLT more acceptable to the HF radio community. The choice of modulation and coding systems required to deliver the predicted performance in the presence of transient interference is also discussed
Cooperative Radio Communications for Green Smart Environments
The demand for mobile connectivity is continuously increasing, and by 2020 Mobile and Wireless Communications will serve not only very dense populations of mobile phones and nomadic computers, but also the expected multiplicity of devices and sensors located in machines, vehicles, health systems and city infrastructures. Future Mobile Networks are then faced with many new scenarios and use cases, which will load the networks with different data traffic patterns, in new or shared spectrum bands, creating new specific requirements. This book addresses both the techniques to model, analyse and optimise the radio links and transmission systems in such scenarios, together with the most advanced radio access, resource management and mobile networking technologies. This text summarises the work performed by more than 500 researchers from more than 120 institutions in Europe, America and Asia, from both academia and industries, within the framework of the COST IC1004 Action on "Cooperative Radio Communications for Green and Smart Environments". The book will have appeal to graduates and researchers in the Radio Communications area, and also to engineers working in the Wireless industry. Topics discussed in this book include: • Radio waves propagation phenomena in diverse urban, indoor, vehicular and body environments• Measurements, characterization, and modelling of radio channels beyond 4G networks• Key issues in Vehicle (V2X) communication• Wireless Body Area Networks, including specific Radio Channel Models for WBANs• Energy efficiency and resource management enhancements in Radio Access Networks• Definitions and models for the virtualised and cloud RAN architectures• Advances on feasible indoor localization and tracking techniques• Recent findings and innovations in antenna systems for communications• Physical Layer Network Coding for next generation wireless systems• Methods and techniques for MIMO Over the Air (OTA) testin
Identification of Technologies for Provision of Future Aeronautical Communications
This report describes the process, findings, and recommendations of the second of three phases of the Future Communications Study (FCS) technology investigation conducted by NASA Glenn Research Center and ITT Advanced Engineering & Sciences Division for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FCS is a collaborative research effort between the FAA and Eurocontrol to address frequency congestion and spectrum depletion for safety critical airground communications. The goal of the technology investigation is to identify technologies that can support the longterm aeronautical mobile communication operating concept. A derived set of evaluation criteria traceable to the operating concept document is presented. An adaptation of the analytical hierarchy process is described and recommended for selecting candidates for detailed evaluation. Evaluations of a subset of technologies brought forward from the prescreening process are provided. Five of those are identified as candidates with the highest potential for continental airspace solutions in L-band (P-34, W-CDMA, LDL, B-VHF, and E-TDMA). Additional technologies are identified as best performers in the unique environments of remote/oceanic airspace in the satellite bands (Inmarsat SBB and a custom satellite solution) and the airport flight domain in C-band (802.16e). Details of the evaluation criteria, channel models, and the technology evaluations are provided in appendixes
