Wireless access is becoming the dominant way of connecting to the Internet due to the high data rates that several radio access technologies (RATs) provide. Such success is a result of several advances in wireless communications over the last two decades. A key enabling technique which promises further improvement in data rates is carrier aggregation (CA). Intra-band and inter-band carrier aggrega ...

Wireless Hybrid Enhanced Mobile Radio Estimators - Phase 2 (WHERE2)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The availability of position information plays an increasing role in wireless communications networks already today and will be an integral part of future systems. They inherently can offer the ability for stand-alone positioning especially in situations where conventional satellite based positioning systems such as GPS fail (e.g., indoor). In this framework, positioning information is an importan ...

MultimEDia transport for mobIlE Video AppLications (MEDIEVAL)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

Video is a major challenge for the future Internet. This traffic type is foreseen to account for close to 90 percent of consumer traffic already by 2012. However, the current Internet, and in particular the mobile Internet, was not designed with video requirements in mind and, as a consequence, its architecture is very inefficient when handling video traffic. It is the vision of this consortium th ...

Achieving Low-Latency in Wireless Communications (LOLA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The focus of LOLA is on access-layer technologies targeting low-latency robust and spectrally-efficient transmission in a set of emerging application scenarios. We consider two basic types of wireless networks, namely long-range LTE-Advanced Cellular Networks and medium-range rapidly-deployable mesh networks. Research on low-latency transmission in cellular networks is focused firstly on transmiss ...

Spectrum Aggregation and Multi-User MIMO: Real-world Impact (SAMURAI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Next generation cellular wireless systems will require data rates which are one order of magnitude higher than the ones provided by current systems.One way to improve the rates is to increase the bandwidth. Unfortunately, spectrum is a fragmented resource and large bands of frequencies are unavailable to one single operator. Therefore, Spectrum Aggregation (SA) represents an opportunity to overcom ...
