The IST FITNESS Project: Interoperability of UMTS and HIPERLAN/2 with Re-configurable Multiple Receive Multiple Transmit Antennas
17 June 2002
In the IST (Information Society Technologies) project FITNESS: Fourth-Generation Intelligent Transparent Networks Enhanced through Space-Time Systems, the issues of re-configurability with Multiple Receive Multiple Transmit (MTMR) antenna systems in various channel, interference, traffic and user requirement conditions and transparent operation across different wireless networks are addressed. The scope of this paper is to present the main technological challenges involved, the methodology and the innovation expected.
