Railway scenarios present several specific features that complicate the deployment of a
radio communication network, especially for high speed trains. Nowadays, railway operators …

Ever since the adoption of the single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)
scheme for the uplink in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, there has been much …

In this paper, performance evaluation and system level simulation results for a
communication architecture based on LTE base stations and Moving Relay Nodes (MRNs) …

Nowadays the number of vehicular users demanding mobile data services greatly increases
due to the high penetration rate of smart phones, laptops and tablets. Under this scope, the …

Abstract The LTE/LTE-Advanced standardization activity is an ongoing task to build up a
framework for the evolution of the 3GPP radio technologies towards the 4G and beyond. The …

Incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) scheme used in recent
wireless communication standards such as 3GPP LTE provides higher benefits in terms of …

Nowadays, the increased use of smartphones, laptops and tablets, has led to an exponential
increment of mobile data services in high speed mobility scenarios. Under this scope, the …

The main objectives of this dissertation are the evaluation of the link level performance and
the study of link abstraction for LTE/LTE-Advanced DL. An E-UTRA DL link level simulator …

We present a power-efficient scheme to deliver time sensitive data packets in sensor
networks. Data generated by sensors are frequently time sensitive in applications such as …

The simulation of LTE and LTE-A at link level is a research topic for several COST IC1004
institutions. It was agreed in previous meetings that it would be useful to define a common …
