This article reports the findings of a mobile communications survey mailed out to over 2,000 trucking firms. The findings indicate that 68% of respondents use some form of mobile communication system in their firm. Various types of mobile communication systems were reported, including two-way pagers, one-way pagers, cell phones, two-way radio, and satellite communications. Additionally, implementation decision factors for mobile communication systems were evaluated for both users and non-users of mobile communication systems.

Development of high-speed railways set up challenges for new communication technologies. With the increase in speed, new requirements for communication systems have emerged that HSR requires greater reliability, capacity and shorter response time for efficient and safe operations. Mobile communication systems are crucial for the competitiveness of the railway industry and therefore have become one of the priorities addressed by the participants in the railway system to take advantage of technological opportunities to improve operational processes and the quality of provided transport services. The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) uses the Global System for Mobile Communications for Railways (GSM-R) for voice and data communication to communicate between trains and control centers. The International Railway Union is exploring new ways of communicating for high-speed railways because as speed increases this system becomes unreliable in information transmission. This paperwork presents an analysis of the evolution of communications on European railways since the usage of GSM-R. In addition, an overview of the various alternative solutions proposed during the time (LTE-R, Future Railway Mobile Communication System) as possible successors to GSM-R technology is given.


Base Station is the primary unit of any mobile communication system. An antenna is the most important part of the Base Station as it is responsible for exchange of all the electrical signals and electromagnetic waves radiations. From the last two decades there is huge advancement in the mobile communications and so as in the antennas for the base stations. This advancement gives rise to new designs of antennas with different specifications for different applications. In this paper, we discussed different geometries, designed earlier for the base station applications. The structures and respective results of antennas are discussed in the paper.

The use of a millimeter-wave band defined as a 30–300 GHz range is significant element for improving performance of 5th generation (5G) mobile communication systems. However, since the millimeter-wave signal has peculiar propagation characteristics especially toward non-line-of-sight regions, the system architecture and antenna structure for 5G mobile communications should be designed to overcome these propagation limitations. For realization of the 5G mobile communications, electronics and telecommunications research institute (ETRI) is developing central network applying various massive antenna structures with beamforming. In this paper, we have introduced the central network and evaluated the system coverage and capacity through C++ language-based simulations with real geospatial information.

This paper works on the scheme of multi-band carrier aggregation in satellite mobile communication system. According to the transmission characteristics of carriers in different frequency bands, the transmission parameters of OFDM in different bands have been got. The applicability of the traditional carrier aggregation scheme in satellite mobile communication system has also been discussed. A scheme of the cross band carrier aggregation in satellite mobile communication system and the corresponding synchronization scheme of data symbols are given. Numerical calculation and analysis are given to confirm the rationality and effectiveness.

Method for Evaluation of Outage Probability on Random Access Channel in Mobile Communication Systems In order to access the cell in all mobile communication technologies a so called random-access procedure is used. For example in GSM this is represented by sending the CHANNEL REQUEST message from Mobile Station (MS) to Base Transceiver Station (BTS) which is consequently forwarded as an CHANNEL REQUIRED message to the Base Station Controller (BSC). If the BTS decodes some noise on the Random Access Channel (RACH) as random access by mistake (so- called ‘phantom RACH') then it is a question of pure coincidence which èstablishment cause’ the BTS thinks to have recognized. A typical invalid channel access request or phantom RACH is characterized by an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT procedure (assignment of an SDCCH or TCH) which is not followed by sending an ESTABLISH INDICATION from MS to BTS. In this paper a mathematical model for evaluation of the Power RACH Busy Threshold (RACHBT) in order to guaranty in advance determined outage probability on RACH is described and discussed as well. It focuses on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) however the obtained results can be generalized on remaining mobile technologies (ie WCDMA and LTE).

To address the problem of wireless communication system existing blind spots in mine tunnels, this paper proposes a novel mine mobile communication systems without blind zones, based on Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Radio on Fiber (RoF) technologies, which adopts WiFi, WiMAX and other wireless interface, as well as leaky antenna and distributed antenna. The key technical elements for designing the mine mobile communication system are clarified, and the system components and the dual-bus-shaped network structure are presented. Also, the operating principle and the features of the system are analyzed. In addition, the trend of the technology related to the future mine mobile communication system is presented.
