NI collaborates with CROWD to define 5G Wireless Communications
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. However, network densification requires advanced self-organized network techniques to manage interference. The goal of CROWD is to develop higher layer algorithms to manage increased complexity due to densification,” said James Kimery, Director of RF, Communications and Software Defined radio, NI. NI, one of seven collaborators in the CROWD consortium, leads the testbed activities within the EU FP7 CRO...
