A model for setting up interdisciplinary collaborative working in groups: Lessons from an experience of action learning

There is a current policy emphasis within health services on collaborative interdisciplinary groupworking between professionals, exemplified by the increasing use of action learning sets in a health context. Most of the evaluative research into this type of group collaboration has concentrated on evaluating outcomes, whereas this project aimed to evaluate qualitatively the experiences of the professional group members. The research uses a grounded theory methodology to investigate their perceptions and to analyse the data collected through interview methods. The research addresses an emergent theoretical model that could be of use when planning multidisciplinary task groups. It aims to enhance the success of these groups using a theory based on the concept of project momentum

Latency analysis on W-band hybrid fiber-wireless link using software defined radio in real time

\u3cp\u3eThis paper reports an experimental comparison and analysis of latency for different modulation techniques at different data rates in W-band Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) transmission links. In addition, a software defined radio called GNU-Radio is employed with Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRP) to generate and retrieve the transmitted signals. Likewise, it is used to test the end to end latency in the W-band RoF link. Our main contribution is achieving a W-Band low-latency wireless fiber link which fits to the key performance indicators of 5G networks.\u3c/p\u3

Procedure to measure real time latency using software defined radio in a W‐band fiber‐wireless link

Reducing latency is a major challenge for current telecommunications systems. 5G networks are envisioned to achieve end‐to‐end latencies below 1 ms, thus enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) evolution and new applications such as Tactile Internet. In this article, we present a new procedure to measure real time latency in hybrid optical‐wireless links. We obtained 2 ms end to end latency using Software Defined Radio to measure latency in a physical setup. We tested the procedure on W‐band fiber‐wireless link and validated the results against PING over GRE tunnel
