Item Importance of geology and soil survey for mobile communication site planning using RS/GIS technology(2010) Naveenchandra, B.; Lokesh, K.N.; Usha; Gangadhara Bhat, H.G.Geology and Soil survey constitutes a valuable resource inventory linked with the survival of life on the earth. The technological advancements in the field of remote sensing and Geographical Information System have been a boon for such surveys. The present paper describes the role of Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies for geological mapping and characterizing the importance of soils at various scales for identification of suitable sites for mobile communication network. Cellular network design is becoming more and more important since the network quality is highly dependent on the distribution of base stations. To design a cellular network for a particular region efficiently and accurately, the site suitability is an important determination. The country's mobile services market is forecast to grow by a compound annual rate of 28.3% in next five years. India is a vibrant market from communications point of view. The subscriber base in the wireless market in India, the world's fastest growing telecom market reached another milestone when it surpassed 200 million subscribers in Aug 2008. At present there are around 54000 cell sites operated by different GSM/CDMA operators. This number would further go up to 80,000 in next couple of years. To serve an increasing number of users requires an increasing number of base stations. Thus, operators must carefully plan the deployment and configurations of radio base stations to support voice and data traffic at a level of quality expected by customers. The present study carried out in the Udupi district of Karnataka State based on IRS 1C/1D LISS-III and CARTOSAT-1 satellite data. Various thematic maps like geology, soil, geomorphology, slope and land use/land cover with DEM has helped in understanding the terrain in a better way. The multi spectral satellite data in conjunction with SuperGIS, SuperPad and Getac GPS hardware have helped to formulate suitable plans and strategies for an effective Telecom planning and development in Udupi district. © 2010 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

We present a generalization of Voronoi partition, where functions modeling the effectiveness of facilities are used in the place of the usual distance measure used in the standard Voronoi partition and its variations. We illustrate the usefulness of the generalization in designing strategies for optimal deployment of multiple vehicles equipped with sensors, optimal placement of base stations in a cellular network design problem, and locational optimization of power plants. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.Item Analysis of Wave Propagation Models with Radio Network Planning Using Dual Polarized MIMO Antenna for 5G Base Station Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Bellary, A.; Kandasamy, K.; Rao, P.H.Dual polarized printed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna for Band 42 (3.4 - 3.6 GHz) with wave propagation models is presented. Polarization and spatial diversity are achieved by utilizing two printed bow-tie antennas in orthogonal orientation. The designed dual polarized antenna element with $2\times 2$ , $4\times 4$ and $8\times 8$ massive MIMO antenna configuration radiation patterns are deployed in selected geographical situation for detailed radio network planning using FEKO-WinProp platform. Knife edge diffraction, extended walfisch-ikegami and dominant path wave propagation models are implemented with designed MIMO antenna configurations. Modulation schemes of QPSK and QAM with corresponding data rates and throughput for all propagation models are presented. The signal strength and quality reflecting parameters reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal to noise plus interference ratio (SNIR) are also evaluated for each model. From the simulation results dominant path model provides data rate and throughput of 3.827, 995 MBit/s and 3.577, 930.1 MBit/s for single stream of data in uplink and downlink respectively. The maximum data rate of 1.37 GBits/s is achieved for deployed base stations with $8\times 8$ massive MIMO antenna configuration effectively covering the entire geographical site. © 2013 IEEE.Item All-Optical UAV-Based Triple-Hop FSO-FSO-VLC Cooperative System for High-Speed Broadband Internet Access in High-Speed Trains(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Aarthi, A.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, P.; Natarajan, R.; Jayakody, D.N.K.In this paper, we proposed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based all optical triple hop mixed free space optical-free space optical-visible light communication (FSO-FSO-VLC) system for broadband internet access in high-speed train applications. The system consists of triple hops from gateway to the UAV, UAV to train and train to the end user. Two decode and forward relays are mounted on the UAV and train respectively to transmit the data between the gateway to the end-users. The first hop between gateway to UAV consist of FSO link which follows M-distribution. The second hop between the UAV to train consists of FSO link and is modelled using Gamma-Gamma distribution which takes into account both atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors due to position/orientation deviation. The third hop between the train and end user is connected using VLC link and it is mathematically modelled using Lambertian emission distribution. The relays map the incoming signal on the FSO links and send it down to the user inside the train via the VLC downlink. We derived the closed form expressions for average bit error rate and outage probability of the proposed system. This paper investigates the effects of atmospheric turbulence, field of view, beam divergence angle, displacement deviation variance, optical concentrator gain, number of access point, and modulation schemes on system performance. First time, we proposed all-optical system which offers high data rate and low transmission delay. © 2013 IEEE.
