  • Nyckelord:
  • Project description:

    Investigate infrastructure design for low cost, low power systems, system planning, wireless resource management strategies. The project focuses on key mechanisms in the evolution of wireless infrastructures. Important issues are if bandwidth can by supplied at a cost that is less than proportional to the bandwidth, or at least at a low marginal costs. Factors to consider are infrastructure architectures, competition from fixed services, standardization, competition mechanisms and spectrum regulation.

  • Keywords: Multi-operator network evolution, cost models, standards & regulatory issues.
  • Nyckelord:
  • Project description:

    Investigate wireless resource management strategies for infrastructures with multiple commercial operators or without operators (customer infrastructures). The project focuses on key mechanisms distributed autonomous wireless resource management. Important issues are if viable non-catastrophic solutions for operator coexistence can be found. Factors to consider are infrastructure architectures, standardization, competition mechanisms and spectrum regulation.
