Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
Today, many different communication bearers exist, each one optimised for a specific set of applications. Some cannot be used for mobile applications, some only at low speeds, while others at high speed but at low bandwidths, or can only be broadcast, etc. For GNSS positioning services, it is clear that one perfect communication technology does not exist. The research will start with review of some important communication bearers, such as Land multipoint distribution services (LMDS), WiMAX, 2G/3G cellular technology, Dedicated Short-Range communications (DSRC), millimetre media (MM) radio technology, and the standards of these different radio technologies, spectrum issues, and advantages, advantages and disadvantages for possible GNSS positioning applications.
The research seeks an integrated wireless solution for effective GNSS positioning services, based on the efforts by International Standard Organization (ISO) Working Group 16 (ISO TC204 WG16), which is working on the specifications for Continuous Air-Interface for Long and Medium (CALM), currently the most important development for integrated communication solutions.
