Efficient Receivers for Wireless Communication
Mobile wireless communications are currently very inefficient at providing maximum performance and, therefore, minimising cost to operators and end users. Boosting the network capacity and coverage (including in-building penetration) of third and fourth generation (3G/4G) systems will reduce operator costs and benefit end users by allowing higher data rate services and lower costs per megabyte.
The InterfereX project aims to develop an advanced transceiver (modem) for broadband mobile wireless system using patented receiver techniques which doubles receiver sensitivity. This will result in substantial improvements in wireless network coverage and data capacity throughput.
The project aims to validate research techniques by realising, in a real-time demonstrator, multimegabit-per-second transmissions.
The InterfereX team is developing research solutions to practical problems and integrating these solutions into a hardware design. Internet applications like video streaming, web browsing and wireless voice over Internet Protocol (wVoIP) will be tested during mobile outdoor and indoor trials.
