LTE as the future railway communication system: benefits and challenges

Right time series shows some days of measurements from an LTE network where variations of the network performance are observable.. Fewer measurements were taken at the LTE network

We propose a novel approach, namely Multiobjective Auction-based Switching off (MAS), to foster the opportunistic utilization of unexploited SCs capacity, where the MNOs lease

Taking the 3GPP Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) architecture as a baseline, we identify four measurable objectives that future mobile networks should meet: area

Since the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of LTE needs to be modified to implement changes in the way LTE accesses the channel, the srsLTE plat- form is a perfect candidate

One of the main challenges in the QoS support is its integration with mobility. For the mobility purposes, extensions to the IPv6 fast mobility [7] are used. To provide

A number of radio equipment manufacturers have defined two main specifications for the transport of fronthaul traffic, namely the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) [5] and the

Cluster verification. Once the RRC connection is estab- lished, the eNB sends a Security Mode Command message to each cluster member. Note that the Security Mode Command for all

While carrier aggregation is mainly known for its peak rate increasing capability, it is also used to distribute the load among CCs. In fact, in the three locations of our data set,
