As more and more users are migrating to smartphones, the amount of data being transmitted has increased. However, huge amounts of data and signal propagation are bound to be detrimental to the ecological balance. Long-term evolution (LTE), due to its flexibility and backward compatibility, has emerged as the network of choice for 4G and beyond. In this chapter, the significance of core technologies for LTE network is highlighted, along with the inherent advantage of reducing the energy consumption of cellular network. An energy-efficient design of LTE is proposed that blends the technologies proposed by 3GPP such as adaptive OFDMA with that of MU-MIMO.","PeriodicalId":149489,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Innovations and Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Telecommunications and Networking","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130163266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To keep up with the volume, speed, and variety of these data, new data acquisition and visualization systems need to be developed. This chapter focuses on some design and development considerations for a real-time data acquisition and visualization of X-band in a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. Relevant issues such as high-speed network, parallel data processing system, and large-scale storage system are discussed. Ideally, the acquisition system should be capable of concurrent processing at low cost and visualization technique should be in the same time scale with other conventional 2D visualization of X-band weather radars. Benefits of this type of radar are that it is not just safe and inexpensive, but also serves as a means in filling in gaps of higher-powered pulse-doppler radars when used in conjunction with them.","PeriodicalId":149489,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Innovations and Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Telecommunications and Networking","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129461147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the analog limitations of the hardware devices in these systems create barriers to some applications, creative algorithms in digital signal processing (DSP) can improve the results. In some cases, this improvement is essential to establishing a robust and reliable communication. The universal software radio peripheral (USRP) is a popular hardware that can be used alongside the SDR. Among many capabilities of USRP and its changeable daughter boards is receiving GPS signals. The GPS satellites transmit data on two main frequencies, L1 (1575.42 MHz) and L2 (1227.60 MHz).

Unlike traditional wide 65° HPBW antenna, this chapter also focuses on the use of other narrow HPBW antennas for three- and six-sector sites. This chapter provides detailed analysis of network performance from coverage, capacity, spectral-efficiency, power-efficiency, and cost-efficiency point of view. It also provides a fair comparison between the network rollout with traditional three-sector sites and higher order six-sector sites.

The advantage of using these radar signals is that the object target velocity and range can be quickly calculated using fast Fourier transforms (FFT). Taking the row-wise FFT of the signal matrix gives range information in form of range bins. Then taking column-wise FFT enables displaying the velocity for each range bin. The three-dimensional graph of the resulting matrix gives a signal power plot with respect to both the range bin numbers and their velocity.","PeriodicalId":149489,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Innovations and Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Telecommunications and Networking","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131391404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
