Spectrum Aggregation and Multi-User MIMO: Real-world Impact (SAMURAI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Next generation cellular wireless systems will require data rates which are one order of magnitude higher than the ones provided by current systems.One way to improve the rates is to increase the bandwidth. Unfortunately, spectrum is a fragmented resource and large bands of frequencies are unavailable to one single operator. Therefore, Spectrum Aggregation (SA) represents an opportunity to overcom ...

Knowledge-based multi-scale modelling of metal-oxide-polymer interface behaviour for micro- and nanoelectronics (NanoInterface)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Micro- and nano-electronic components are multi-scale in nature, caused by the huge scale differences of the individual materials and components in these products. Consequently, product behaviour is becoming strongly dependent on material behaviour at the atomic scale. To prevent extensive trial-and-error based testing for new technology developments, new powerful quantitative knowledge-based mode ...
