GIS & Mapping Systems for Public Safety [ Source: Official Publications ]
January 2008-What’s the best, surest, and fastest way to direct an emergency vehicle to the scene of an incident? Looking for a street address can eat up valuable time, and that address might not help much in a sparsely populated rural area in any case, since many residences are so far off any public road that they carry no house address at all. While E-911 systems have eliminated most of the problems associated with callers misstating ....

Bluetooth PAN and External IP Networks [ Source: University of Oslo ]
January 2008-This paper discusses how ad-hoc Personal Area Network (PAN) based on Bluetooth technology may connect to external networks. The paper assumes that the Bluetooth network (piconet) is formed by the automatic SAPIFO procedure that one or more piconet devices have access to external networks, and that IPv4 is used for external communication. Bluetooth have specified a PAN profile for IP over Bluetooth, which uses BNEP (Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol) to emulate an Ethernet segments between ....

Coexistence Analysis of Bluetooth and Cellular UMTS in the 2500-2690 MHz Band [ Source: Ericsson ]
January 2008-The 2500-2690 MHz band has been recognized as extension band for IMT-2000 systems such as UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). The combination of BT and GSM within one mobile phone has become widely accepted and therefore the same combination is required to work for UMTS mobile phones operating in the 2.5 GHz extension band as well. The objective of the work explained in this white paper is to analyze the performance of the BT receive ....

Small Chip Dielectric Antenna for Bluetooth Application [ Source: John Wiey & Sons ]
January 2008-This paper has proposed a novel chip ceramic dielectric antenna whose volume is effectively reduced by using the advanced meander-line technique and validates its performance. The proposed antenna’s volume can be effectively reduced by using the advanced meander-line technique. Additionally, to minimize the antenna’s available area on the substrate and to reduce the coupling between the metal layers and the ground plane, this antenna is located on the corner of the substrate. The measurements and ....
