Summary on Grant Application Form
The next and third generation of mobile (personal Communication systems will have to provide a variety of telecommunication services in various environments to a very wide of users. An important characteristic of these systems is the hierarchical structures formed by macro-cell and micro-cells. Normally, up to now the spectrum available has been partitioned in two bands: the micro cell and the macro cell band; however, we believe that sharing of spectrum both at the same hierarchical level and at the different hierarchical level is needed to improve the band width efficiency. On the other hand, several types of services will have to be provided by future networks, featuring different rate transmissions. We propose also to investigate hybridTDMA/CDMA systems with variable time slot duration to provide flexibility and efficiency to accommodate this expected variety of services. We suggest extending these investigations to the resource allocation area and create dynamic resource allocation strategy suitable to operate in a Hierarchical Cellular Structure for efficient management of the scarce spectrum and to cope with different bandwidth needs of the expected different types of users.
