A QoE-Based Method for Quantifying and Comparing LTE Coverage

March 11, 2025
Author(s)
Wesley Garey, Yishen Sun, Richard Rouil
To determine the coverage of an LTE system, measurements such as the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interfer-ence and Noise Ratio (SINR) are often used. However, RSRP and RSRQ are only

Peng Liu, Kyehwan Lee, Fernando Cintron, Simeon Wuthier, Bhadresh Savaliya, Douglas Montgomery, Richard Rouil
This documentation serves as a blueprint for new researchers, offering a comprehensive guide on establishing an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) testbed from scratch. It details the O-RAN architecture and the supporting software stacks required for each

ProSAS: An O-RAN Approach to Spectrum Sharing between NR and LTE

August 20, 2024
Author(s)
Sneihil Gopal, David Griffith, Richard Rouil, Chunmei Liu
The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), an industry-driven initiative utilizes intelligent Radio Access Network (RAN) controllers and open interfaces to facilitate efficient spectrum sharing between LTE and NR RANs. In this paper, we harness O-RAN's

Author(s)
Tanguy Ropitault, Yongkang Liu, Richard Rouil, Mohamad Omar Al Kalaa
Medical extended reality (MXR) offers innovative healthcare delivery in a variety of clinical contexts. 5G-enabled MXR refers to the use of 5G connectivity to enable MXR functions by connecting multiple MXR device components, servers, and collaborators

System-Level Evaluation of 5G NR UE-Based Relays

December 25, 2023
Author(s)
Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, Aziza Ben Mosbah, Wesley Garey, Chunmei Liu, Richard A. Rouil
The notion of UE-based relays started with the introduction of Proximity Services (ProSe) and Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, and evolved with the adaptation of the Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) interface. While the main goal of relays is to
