The MNO’s RAN performance team noticed that the operations support system (OSS) flagged the presence of an RF noise issue in the network based on high uplink (UL) received signal strength indicator (RSSI) levels.
In order to take a closer look and attempt to diagnose...
Last December, the entire mobile industry reached a significant milestone for 5G. The 5G NR Release-15 Non-Standalone (NSA) specifications were completed at the 3GPP RAN Plenary meeting held in Lisbon, Portugal. These are the first specifications that define the global 5G standard, covering spectrums...
Mobile data traffic has grown 18-fold over the past 5 years, and shows no signs of slowing down. In the effort to provide adequate service, the ecosystem (in all its components) continues to innovate with new technologies, and to densify wireless networks both indoors...
Addressing cellular infrastructure for small to mid-size (SME) enterprise has hit a major challenge in terms of who pays for the in-building system.
Carriers are often willing to subsidize enterprise solutions for large-scale customers (usually in the form of a classic DAS), but the ROI...
Explosive applications growth. Massive bandwidth needs. Enabling 5G network densification for both fixed and mobile wireless is a high priority for operators.
The use of millimeter microwave technologies is rapidly gaining traction to support fixed broadband connections encompassing a broad range of wireless applications related...
Mobile Edge Cloud, Mobile Edge Computing, Multi-Access Edge Computing. These are all names for basically the same concept that Wikipedia defines as, "a network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network." Regardless of...
Mobile workforces present unique connectivity challenges when compared to a traditional office environment. Traveling along bumpy roads, traversing service areas, and powering devices using a vehicle battery are factors requiring special considerations and planning.
A total solution should take into account all aspects of virtual...
Computer vision is powering advances in automotive, medical, consumer, and agriculture markets. Because the world of computer vision coupled with machine learning evolves so quickly, teams need a way to design and verify an algorithm while the specifications and requirements evolve without starting over...

For full system SoC verification, hardware emulation has sufficient execution speed, visibility and ease-of-use to span the entire range of verification needs throughout the life of the design development process.
The lines are blurring between commercial LTE networks operated by mobile carriers, and the network options available to private enterprises.
Until recently, enterprises were unable to use LTE for their private wireless networks because LTE requires licensed spectrum. Today, however, new spectrum sharing technologies and...
Join 600+ senior-level attendees from the wireless eco-system for three days of in-depth educational programming on the challenges and opportunities associated with next generation mobile networks at the DAS & Small Cells Congress in Las Vegas, June 11-13, 2018.
With 80% of mobile data traffic...
In the last 30-years, tastes and preferences have shifted toward 24/7 connectivity. As older generations have adopted the new technology, younger generations have grown with it, and vast industries have embedded it into their operations, electronic companies have expanded their service offerings, thereby placing...
A team of researchers from KU Leuven created a network of software defined radios that can simultaneously transmit and detect harmful interference using in-band full duplex technique which results in an ultra-efficient network with double the throughput. Read the case study and download the...
There are many reasons why in-building cellular coverage can be challenging. The placement of cell towers, geographical terrain, or building materials can all play a role in poor in-building coverage. Even where there is a proliferation of cellular towers, there can be topographic or...

Nextivity CEO Werner Sievers discusses drivers of IBW capex and opex
After years of focused market education and outreach, building owners and enterprise decision makers have arrived at the realization that in-building wireless connectivity is an essential part of enabling business value in increasingly mobile...
Nearly 72% of Americans experience dropped calls, slow internet, and poor cellular coverage. With 80% of cell phone use made indoors, it has a significant impact on businesses and productivity.
SignalBoosters.com and Coleman Parkes Research examine the bottom line impact on revenue, productivity, and employer-employee...
What drives the capacity beast? Traffic!
According to GSMA, 4G mobile connections surpassed one billion in 2015. Additionally, 3 billion LTE devices are expected to ship by 2020, doubling the quantity in 2017. Although 4G connections represented only 26% of mobile connections in 2016, they...
Network densification remains one of the greatest challenges facing mobile operators as they look to implement 5G, add 4G capacity and increase user speeds.
