A presentation about applications of rain field modelling in radio communications. The market for mobile phones is saturated, so the commercial push is for new applications to encourage users to increase usage of the operators’ services The UK spectrum auction for 3G mobile licenses in March 2000 resulted in a total of 22 billion pounds being spent by the mobile phone companies to buy the rights to certain bands of the radio spectrum These licenses are needed in order to provide 3G services like mobile internet and TV-on-demand. These services are very bandwidth-intensive, and the radio spectrum at mobile phone frequencies is very congested, but the UK government wants to encourage growth in this technological area So, what can we do? Improve spectrum efficiency at lower frequencies Open up higher frequencies (which are under-used) to commercial exploitation
