TL;DR: A novel compact, lightweight and highly efficient tetra-band rectenna, able to harvest RF energy from GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS and WiFi sources available in the ambient, and tested in terms of stored energy while harvesting from a mobile cell-phone call.
Abstract: In this study, we exploit genetic algorithms to design a rectenna required to harvest ambient radio-frequency (RF) energy from four different RF bands in critical (ultra-low power) conditions. For this purpose a set of multi-resonant annular-ring patch antennas are pixel-wise described inside an electromagnetic simulator to provide the `population' of individuals among which the genetic tool is able to select the most adapted one with respect to the design specifications. The further use of circuit-level non-linear simulation tool, based on Harmonic balance technique, allows the rigorous multi-band design of the whole rectenna system in RF stationary conditions at several received power levels. The result is a novel compact, lightweight and highly efficient tetra-band rectenna, able to harvest RF energy from GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS and WiFi sources available in the ambient. At these frequency bands high radiation efficiency is desired as an essential prerequisite for optimally handling very low-power densities. Very good agreement with measurements of both the radiating and rectifying designs is demonstrated in real office scenarios. Finally the rectenna is connected to a power management unit and the resulting assembly is tested in terms of stored energy while harvesting from a mobile cell-phone call.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new antenna that supports both the mobile and wireless LAN services, which consists of a monopole, a meander line, and an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure.
Abstract: Recently, the mobile handsets support both the mobile and wireless LAN services. Thus, our target is to introduce a new antenna that supports both services. The antenna operates for most of the mobile applications such as the GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900, UMTS 2100, and most of the LTE bands, especially the low-frequency LTE 700 band. The antenna also supports the WiMAX, wireless local area network (WLAN), and the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. The antenna not only has a compact size, but also it supports a low specific absorption rate (SAR) radiation at all the operating frequencies. It consists of a monopole, a meander line, and an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure. In order to cover the low frequency bands, a meander line is utilized due to its compact size, but unfortunately it is a narrowband antenna that is difficult to cover both LTE700 and GSM 900 bands. The solution stems from the use of an EBG structure that widens the band to cover the two low frequency bands and to reduce the maximum SAR. The higher frequency bands are supported by both the monopole and the meander line since they acts as traveling-wave antennas at the high frequency bands. The antenna meets three challenging parameters: the compact size, the multiband operation including the low frequency bands, and the low SAR radiation. Good agreement is found between the experimental and the simulated results.

TL;DR: A dual-band band printed antenna operating at GSM bands (900/1800) is proposed, with gains of the order 1.8-2.06 dBi and efficiency 77.6-84%.
Abstract: In this paper, we identify the spectrum opportunities for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting through power density measurements from 350 MHz to 3 GHz. The field trials have been performed in Covilha by using the NAKDA-SMR spectrum analyser with a measuring antenna. Based on the identification of the most promising opportunities, a dual-band band printed antenna operating at GSM bands (900/1800) is proposed, with gains of the order 1.8-2.06 dBi and efficiency 77.6-84%. Guidelines for the design of RF energy harvesting circuits and choice of textile materials for a wearable antenna are also discussed. Besides, we address the guidelines for designing circuits to harvest energy in a scenario where a wireless body area network (WBAN) is being sustained by a TX91501 Powercasf® RF dedicated transmitter and a five-stage Dickson voltage multiplier responsible for harvesting the RF energy. The IRIS motes, considered for our WBAN scenario, can perpetually operate if the RF received power attains at least -10 dBm.

TL;DR: Measurement based path loss example and shadowing parameters are applied on path loss models to present models which give better understanding for urban, rural and suburban regions in Karnataka state at 940 MHz GSM frequency.
Abstract: To establish any mobile network system, the basic task is to foresee the coverage of the proposed system in general. Many such different approaches have been developed, over the past, to predict coverage using what are known as propagation models. In this paper, measurement based path loss example and shadowing parameters are applied on path loss models. Here, the measurements are carried out in urban, rural and suburban areas considering non-line-of-sight terrains with low elevation antennas for the transceiver (Tx) and receiver (Rx)[5]. The impact of multipath are more emphasized in the rural context. This causes higher probability of RF signal errors. On the basis of observation and with the help of clutter, we can present models which give better understanding for urban, rural and suburban regions in Karnataka state at 940 MHz GSM frequency[5],[26][13].

TL;DR: It is shown that spectrum utilization is generally low, but that variance between frequency bands and locations is significant, which means that any statistical claims on occupancy statistics need to be done carefully before regulatory claims are made.
Abstract: We report initial results from 48 hour spectrum occupancy measurement campaign that was done in time-correlated fashion in seven different European locations. We give a description of the measurement campaign and provide results from our preliminary analysis of overall duty cycle in the frequency range 110-3000 MHz. The paper particularly focuses on traffic and duty cycle patterns in GSM 900 and GSM 1800 bands. For the sake of completeness, we also discuss ISMband utilization in two of our measurement sites. We show that spectrum utilization is generally low, but that variance between frequency bands and locations is significant, which means that any statistical claims on occupancy statistics need to be done carefully before regulatory claims are made.

TL;DR: CAD techniques for the optimization of energy harvesting and storage systems designed to exploit EM sources available in the ambient are overviewed and procedure validation is discussed for a textile multi-layer multi-frequency rectenna using fabric for both the substrates and the metallic layers.
Abstract: In this paper we first overview CAD techniques for the optimization of energy harvesting and storage systems designed to exploit EM sources available in the ambient. For a successful operation an accurate prediction of the minimum received power is needed to ensure the rectifier turn-on and the start-up of the energy storage control circuit. The proposed method is based on a first step dedicated to the simulation/optimization of the rectenna nonlinear regimes to determine reference values of the received signals. The second step is carried out in the time domain and is devoted to the optimization of the power management unit with the goal of dynamically keeping the rectenna at its optimum loading conditions. During this process the dispersive behavior of rectenna is accurately accounted for. The procedure validation is then discussed for a textile multi-layer multi-frequency rectenna using fabric for both the substrates and the metallic layers. The presented system is thought to recover RF energy upon user request from GSM 900, GSM 1800 and WiFi sources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new mobile handset antenna structure to reduce the value of the speciflc absorption rate (SAR) and to cover most of the mobile operating bands and other wireless applications.
Abstract: This paper proposes a new mobile handset antenna structure to reduce the value of the speciflc absorption rate (SAR) and to cover most of the mobile operating bands and other wireless applications. The covered bands are the GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900, UMTS 2100, and most of the LTE bands. Furthermore, it covers the ISM, WiMAX and the WLAN bands. The electromagnetic radiation in the direction of the human head is reduced via the use of electromagnetic band gap structure (EBG). The antenna is constructed from a monopole and a meander line. The operating bands ranges from (850{1030MHz) and (1.71{7.8GHz). Moreover, the flrst band of the antenna can be tuned by using various meander line lengths or by adjusting the spacing between the monopole and the meander line, while the second band can be tuned by adjusting the monopole length or the meander line area. The antenna volume is 20£20£1:5mm 3 (0.6cm 3 ), so the proposed antenna is suitable for many wireless handheld devices. The simulation results are compared to the experimental measurements and a good agreement is observed.

TL;DR: A high time-resolution model of spectrum occupancy, stemming from the activity of primary users, for testing purposes, based on a few statistical parameters and includes a novel parameter adaptation procedure that improves the accuracy of current models significantly.
Abstract: The ubiquitous problem of radio spectrum scarcity caused by ever-increasing traffic, e.g. in mobile communications, demands measures. One approach would be secondary use of spectrum by radio devices with cognitive abilities employing dynamic spectrum access. In order to avoid interference with the primary use of the spectrum, such cognitive devices must be thoroughly tested. In this paper, we present a high time-resolution model of spectrum occupancy, stemming from the activity of primary users, for testing purposes. The proposed model is based on a few statistical parameters and includes a novel parameter adaptation procedure that improves the accuracy of current models significantly. The intended use of the model is over-the-air testing of cognitive devices, for instance for prototyping purposes, e.g. evaluation of the achievable performance, or for conformance testing. The model parameters are extracted from measurement data in the GSM 900 downlink band obtained at the Ilmenau University of Technology campus. However, the modeling approach is not restricted to GSM 900 but lends itself to other bands and radio technologies, too.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated specific absorption rate (SAR) in an apple with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO (CST-MWS) simulator based on Finite Integration Technique (FIT).
Abstract: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by an object when exposed to an electromagnetic field. SAR evaluation at different human organs due to cell phone radiation is very common today. On the other hand, none has yet considered that the plants, fruits and crops get exposed to RF radiation from cell phone towers 24 hours a day without any shielding. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to evaluate SAR in apple fruit (in tree) due to radiation coming from cell phone towers in GSM bands at controlled and public exposure zones. SAR has been evaluated in an apple with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO (CST-MWS) simulator based on Finite Integration Technique (FIT).

TL;DR: This study aims to adapt a propagation model in the city of Nablus (Palestine) for a GSM frequency band by investigating the variation in path loss between the measured and predicted values, according to the propagation model for a specific cell.
Abstract: Mobile communications has become an everyday commodity. In the last decades, it has evolved from being an expensive technology for a few selected individuals to today’s ubiquitous systems used by a majority of the world’s population. Imprecise propagation models lead to networks with high co-channel interference, as well as power waste. This study aims to adapt a propagation model in the city of Nablus (Palestine) for a GSM frequency band. This study helps to design better GSM networks for the city in spite of the geographical and frequency limitations. The modification is accomplished by investigating the variation in path loss between the measured and predicted values, according to the propagation model for a specific cell. The results from a simulation model and measured data was compared and analyzed. Bertoni-Walfisch model, without tuning, gave the best results with a mean error of 1.426 dB, which is much less than the mean error obtained by the Standard Macrocell model, 10.91 dB, which is used by a local mobile operator. The two models have been tuned to fit measured data for GSM-900 in the city of Nablus. This is a vital step in cell planning and rollout of wireless networks. To confirm the superiority of Bertoni-Walfisch, a comparison between Bertoni-Walfisch and Standard Macrocell model in terms of Standard Deviation and Mean Error (RMSE).

This will make the model more precise in receiving wireless signal predictions (Yang, Shi, 2008). Operators utilize special planning software to undertake propagation model tuning, such as ASSET and ATOLL (Mingjing, Wenxiao, 2008), (Yang, Fang, Yongyu, Dacheng, 2007). The local cellular communication operator uses ASSET software (AIRCOM International Ltd., 2007) which is based on modified Hata model. 1.1. Terrestrial Description of Nablus City The city of Nablus cast narrow streets and moderately high buildings, the buildings heights vary between 9 and 12 m within the old city and city center. Most of the buildings are mass of concrete, rock-like blocks, and bricks. Furthermore, in terms of landscape, Nablus has a particular characteristic of having a large number of squares (small open areas). Extensive experimental tests were performed in the geographic area of Nablus and especially in the city center to investigate the channel propagation behavior in different directions relative to the streets. The results of those measurements were used to define the standard deviation, mean error and RMSE to enhance our understanding of wave propagation in the city. 1.2. Frequency Reuse Problem in Drive Test Frequency reuse is a technique where frequencies and channels within a communication system is reused to improve capacity and spectral efficiency. Frequency reuse in mobile cellular systems requires each cell to maintain a frequency that is enough far away from the frequency in the adjacent cell to eliminate the interference problems. A local operator requires frequency reuse for many sites. For example, Nablus has around seventy sites with each site containing two to three cells while the operator has twenty-four channels from GSM-900 band. The first twelve channels are BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel), and the last twelve are traffic channels due to certain agreements. Therefore, frequency reuse is an urgent need in Nablus cellular networks. The paper is organized such that Section 2 presents the measurement environment. Section 3 reviews some propagation models and the path loss concept. Section 4 discusses the standard macrocell model tuning. Section 5 describes Bertoni-Walfisch model tuning and Section 6 concludes the findings.

TL;DR: An assessment of vacant channels in mobile communications range which were permanently available at the time of measurement leads to the conclusion that more than 1/8th part of resources of each band are nearly permanently vacant which is enough to design in-band common control signalling methods for cognitive radio.
Abstract: Basis of cognitive radio is to exploit unused frequency channels in licensed band. Recently standardised IEEE 802.22 set of cognitive radio protocols envisages fixed and nomadic receivers at below 800 MHz bands. Radio link design for this cognitive radio consider that the channels are available only dynamically to secondary users. Scanning period is thus embedded in link layer control as overhead and reduces overall efficiency of cognitive radio technology. For mobile receivers, availability of permanent channels for radio link control is essential for in-band signalling. Existing mobile communication system uses CDMA 800, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and WCDMA 2000 MHz bands for which approximately 1/8th of the band capacity is used for in-band signalling. Present work provides an assessment of vacant channels in mobile communications range which were permanently available at the time of measurement. The study used conventional Radio frequency scanners available for different bands and dedicated engineering handsets for tracking active frequencies. Observations were taken at six different cities of India with population ranging from 1.5 million to 6.6 million. The tests were performed with assemblies carried in a vehicle and across the length and breadth of each city. The allotment of frequencies by Frequency Regulatory Authority to local mobile operators along with the frequency bands reserved for further distribution were also considered. The experimentally collected data were analysed using RF analysis software and spread sheet database. An analysis of the collected data lead to arrive at the conclusion that more than 1/8th part of resources of each band are nearly permanently vacant which is enough to design in-band common control signalling methods for cognitive radio.

TL;DR: This paper contains fundamental theory for designing of wideband splitter and simulated and measured parameters of the optimized splitter in CST Microwave Studio and designed divider has been also analyzed by the worst case method.
Abstract: This document is focused on design of symmetrical wideband splitters, which are determined for distribution GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) signals from one common antenna to two receivers. At the present time, GSM bands with for example LTE (Long Term Evolution) and others include frequencies in two bands, approximately from 0.81 GHz to 0.956 GHZ and from 1.71 GHz up to 2.62 GHz. That is exactly why this complex design of splitter represents wideband solution. This paper contains fundamental theory for designing of wideband splitter and simulated and measured parameters of the optimized splitter in CST Microwave Studio. Designed divider has been also analyzed by the worst case method. Obtained S parameters, such as transmission, isolation or reflections are discussed in the closing part of this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the GSM satphone number continuity implementation and the geostationnary and low Earth Orbit characteristics as well the consequences of orbit drifts for which the exact computation is given based on the formal integration of Kepler's area law.
Abstract: Mobile Number Portability is now a widely used service allowing users to keep their number if they change their subscribed operator. It was first deployed in Hong-Kong (1999). « Number Continuity » corresponds to the same service but with the switch to another technology, because the subscribed main terminal does not have coverage. The new terminal may be a PC, a smartphone / WiFi, a “satphone”, a GSM phone if the main one is CDMA, with (almost) the same service transparently. Making calls or SMS with its normal CLI shown, receiving calls, SMS, MMS to his normal GSM number (unlike « Skype »). This article explains the GSM satphone number continuity implementation. The Geostationnary and Low Earth Orbit characteristics are presented as well the consequences of orbit drifts for which the exact computation is given based on the formal integration of Kepler's area law. The handover implementation and cases for the satellite service are explained. The constellation and services of the main satellite operators are compared. The telecom core network implementation of the service is detailed in the cases of a GSM type core network and an IS-41 (CDMA) core network.
