Wei Yu, Hansong Xu, Hanlin Zhang, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
Abstract—Within the foreseeable future, the growing number of mobile devices, and their diversity, will challenge the current network architecture. Furthermore, users expect higher data rates, lower latency, lower packet drop rates, etc. in future wireless

Demultiplexing Spectrum-Sharing Field Sources with Distributed Field Probes

July 24, 2016
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Ryan T. Jacobs, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
A complete characterization of multiple-device wireless interactions must include data relatable to the electromagnetic field radiated by each device under test (DUT). If these field sources are separable in time or frequency, they can be demultiplexed

Variability of Sounder Measurements in Manufacturing Facilities

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Jeanne Quimby, Alexandra Curtin, David R. Novotny, Chih-Ming Wang, Rick Candell
Uncertainties in the linear regression fit of Path Loss are derived from variability in position. These uncertainties are used to determine the required positional accuracy for channel sounder measurements.

An Long Term Evolution (LTE) Device-to-Device module for ns-3
