In order to predict the immunity to electromagnetic interference of\u0000vulnerable systems, not only the electronic system but also its enclosure has\u0000to be taken into consideration.

Solar tides such as the diurnal and semidiurnal tide, are\u0000forced in the lower and middle atmosphere through the diurnal cycle of solar\u0000radiation absorption. This is also the case with higher harmonics like the\u0000quarterdiurnal tide (QDT), but for these also non-linear interaction of\u0000tides such as the self-interaction of the semidiurnal tide, or the\u0000interaction of terdiurnal and diurnal tides, are discussed as possible\u0000forcing mechanism. To shed more light on the sources of the QDT, 12 years of\u0000meteor radar data at Collm (51.3∘ N, 13∘ E) have been\u0000analyzed with respect to the seasonal variability of the QDT at 82–97 km\u0000altitude, and bispectral analysis has been applied. The results indicate\u0000that non-linear interaction, in particular self-interaction of the\u0000semidiurnal tide probably plays an important role in winter, but to a lesser\u0000degree in summer. Numerical modelling of 6 h amplitudes qualitatively\u0000reproduces the gross seasonal structure of the observed 6 h wave at Collm.\u0000Model experiments with removed tidal forcing mechanisms lead to the\u0000conclusion that, although non-linear tidal interaction is one source of the\u0000QDT, the major forcing mechanism is direct solar forcing of the 6 h tidal\u0000components.\u0000","PeriodicalId":45093,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Radio Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44284830","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}

This paper summarizes expectations and requirements towards future\u0000converged communication systems denoted by 5th Generation (5G). Multiple\u0000research and standardization activities globally contribute to the definition\u0000and specification of an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to\u0000provide business customers and residential users with both, existing and\u0000future upcoming services which demand for higher data rates and granted\u0000performance figures in terms of QoS parameters, such as low latency and high\u0000reliability. Representative use case families are threefold and represented\u0000as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Internet of Things (mIoT), and\u0000Critical Communication, i.e. Ultra-Low Latency (ULL)/Ultra-High Reliability\u0000(UHR). To deploy and operate a dedicated network for each service or use case\u0000separately would raise the expenses and service costs to an unduly high\u0000amount. Instead provision of a commonly shared physical infrastructure\u0000offering resources for transport, processing, and storage of data to several\u0000separated logical networks (slices) individually managed and configured by\u0000potentially multiple service providers is the main concept of this new\u0000approach. Beside a multitude of other initiatives the EU-funded 5G NORMA project (5G\u0000Novel Radio Multiservice adaptive network Architecture) has developed an\u0000architecture which enables not only network programmability (configurability\u0000in software), but also network slicing and Multi Tenancy (allowing\u0000independent 3rd parties to offer an end-to-end service tailored according to\u0000their needs) in a mobile network. Major aspects dealt with here are the\u0000selectable support of mobility (on-demand) and service-aware QoE/QoS\u0000(Quality of Experience/Service) control. Specifically we will report on the outcome of the analysis of design\u0000criteria for Mobility Management schemes and the result of an exemplary\u0000application of the modular mobility function to scenarios with variable\u0000service requirements (e.g. high-terminal speed vs. on-demand mobility or\u0000portability of devices).
