VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE   NI has announced its collaboration with CROWD, the European Union Framework Project 7 (EU FP7), to define next-generation wireless 5G communications. CROWD researches the combination of small- and large-density cells in a heterogeneous wireless network for an efficient architecture in which small cells meet traffic hot-spot needs while large cells offer reliable coverage for high-mobility users. “The current demand is barely supported by existing network infrastructure, so we need higher points of dense networks.
