C-RAN Speed Deployment of In-Building Cellular Service
C-RAN architecture enabling in-building cellular deployments. Image: MobileNet Services C-RAN is a relatively new concept but may be a significant consideration in widespread in-building deployment. This is especially true for smaller buildings or venues where it is not cost effective to install expensive RF source equipment at an individual location. With C-RAN (which stands for […]
Interference in Cellular Systems
Most all of us know that all wireless systems are interference limited. In Macro cellular design, great efforts are made to minimize interference, both internally generated and externally generated from various sources in order to maximize capacity. However, modern wireless systems including LTE and LTE-A (Advanced) are increasingly susceptible to interference due in part to […]
Integrated Cellular and Enterprise Wireless
One consideration on the design of any wireless system is future support for next generation technologies. Some consideration should also be given to the inevitable convergence of cellular and Wi-Fi which is increasingly integrated with enterprise wireless systems. In-Building Enterprise Wireless Enterprise wireless is already a growing sector as mobile devices drive connectivity away from […]
