The main objective of this thesis was the evaluation of LTE performance in urban scenarios
concerning inter-cell interference via antenna aspects. A detailed analysis of the effect of the …

The deployment of LTE radio networks, namely in urban scenarios, implies that capacity
needs to be maximised, thus, being usual that a “single-frequency” is taken, ie, all base …

This dissertation focuses on the study of a realistic scenario where a small area of a cluster
is analysed with and without small cells deployment. The network is tested in terms of …

Heterogeneous cell architecture in 5G networks has emerged as a leading solution in the
field of mobile and wireless communication to meet bandwidth and coverage area …

The main objective of this thesis was to study and quantify the data rate transmission
performance for a UMTS/HSPA+ system in indoor scenarios, giving special emphasis to …

The main objective of this thesis was to study the assessment of data applications, quality of
service in UMTS/HSDPA, considering various applications and environments, at the cellular …

LTE networks are being deployed in urban scenarios, in several frequency bands,
superimposing cells with GSM and UMTS ones. Thus, there is a structure of heterogeneous …

The main objective of this thesis was to analyse the implementation of LTE-A in a low
exposure perspective, considering the presence of signals from other networks, such as …

Base stations represent the core contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile network.
Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly fluctuates during a day and night time, it is …
