    • Augmenting large scale propagation models using field measurements 

      Buys, N.J. (North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
      There is a need to use the available radio spectrum more efficiently because of the current spectrum scarcity and the ongoing increase in demand for usable bands of the radio spectrum. One way to use the radio spectrum ...

    • Automatic modulation classification system for OFDM signals 

      Rossouw, M. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is the process of automatically determining the modulation technique used in a received signal. An important part of identifying an unknown signal is to determine its modulation ...

    • Automatic Modulation Classification through clustering in the I/Q plane 

      Mouton, J.P. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) refers to a process where the modulation scheme of a signal of interest is determined. It is not a requirement of an AMC system to recover the original data contained in the signal. ...

    • Evaluation of kriging interpolation methods as a tool for radio environment mapping 

      Boshoff, Willem Hendrik (2015)
      In the journey toward optimal spectrum usage, techniques and concepts such as Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access have enjoyed increasing attention in many research projects. Dynamic Spectrum Access introduces the ...

    • Leveraging Software-Defined Networking for QoS in home networks 

      Taute, A.H. (North-West University (South Africa), 2019)
      Home networks refer to devices at the edge of the internet. These networks face unique provisioning challenges. As the home network is growing and more complex devices are added, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) may ...

    • Modelling the impact of antenna installation error on network performance 

      Prinsloo, B.L. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      This dissertation models the impact of antenna installation errors on network perfor-mance of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) site. To test the impact of antenna installation parameters (antenna height and mechanical tilt), ...

    • The utility of shared access licences for private wireless access networks 

      Schultz, Cilliers (North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
      The increasing need for available spectrum has innovated development towards spectrum sharing techniques that allow shared access to be commercialised and used for private networks based on Long-term evolution (LTE). ...
