Current wireless systems don’t allow the data to be sent and received in the same time over the same frequency. That’s because the strength of the transmission overwhelms any incoming signal on the same frequency. In order to increase the bandwidth and quality of data transfer, a group of engineers from the University of Waterloo… »

Unlike researchers from Rice University who repurposed MIMO (multiple-input, multiple outputs) antenna technology, researchers at EPFL decided to develop Beamspace MIMO – a system where a single antenna can be used to transmitting the same data as the two-antenna MIMO system. This achievement will be more than useful for future communication systems, since it is… »

Rice University engineering researchers have made a breakthrough that could allow wireless phone companies to double throughput on their networks without adding a single cell tower. Instead using two frequencies to send and receive data, Rice’s new “full-duplex” technology allows wireless devices like cell phones and electronic tablets perform this communication with cell towers while… »
