HANDLING GSM-R INTERFERENCES

MARCH 4TH 2016 2.00 PM

c/o Radio Museum Guglielmo Marconi Via del Pontiere 40, Verona – ITALY

Mobile operators are heavily deploying GSM900/UMTS900 with LTE to boost the coverage and quality of the mobile broadband access in rural and suburban areas. GSM-Railway is a non-commercial system used in railway communications for voice and train data control. The systems are operating in adjacent frequency bands, which introduces interferences in railway cab radio. In this workshop the interference problems are treated under different perspectives from regulation aspects, markets and technical open problems.
