Provision of internal consultancy services and radio modelling expertise for projects of interest to Vodafone. Skill set includes radio planning, propagation modelling, radio system simulation and modelling and RF co-existence analysis. I also managed the RF test facilities for Group R&D’s lab facility.Projects included:■ Developing a coverage model for GPRS and Paknet to support Vodafone’s bid to become the communication service provider (CSP) for DECC’s smart meter programme.■ Planning a trial using dedicated trackside TD-LTE technology as the backhaul for in-train WiFi services.■ Developing an Atoll model of small cell and heterogeneous deployments and calibrating this with external data, including signal strength and traffic measurements. Technologies modelled included UMTS, LTE and WiFi.■ Support to Vodafone UK in their responses to Ofcom’s many 800 / 2600 MHz consultations.■ Developing a model of radio coverage variation with carrier frequency, and contributing to studies on the value of 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum.■ Technology evaluations, including broadcast technologies (DVB-H, MBMS), LTE, UWB, MIMO and relays.■ LTE studies, including frequency re-use, load balancing, joint site scheduling and provision of fixed wireless broadband services.■ RF co-existence studies, including 2.6 GHz LTE FDD / TDD co-existence, UHF broadcast / LTE interference and 870 – 876 MHz SRD / cellular co-siting, including lab verification of theoretical predictions.

Provision of expertise in 3GPP standards, simulation (primarily system level, but also link level) and propagation modelling. This expertise was used both for contributing to bids and working on actual projects.Projects included:■ Team leader for Roke Manor’s involvement in Siemens’ 3GPP standardisation activities, including representing Siemens at 3GPP RAN WG1. This primarily focused on development of the 3.84 Mcps and 1.28 Mcps TDD variants, but included some W-CDMA topics.■ Providing consultancy services for the development of a planning tool for a CDMA-based wireless local-loop system.■ Development of a number of system simulation testbeds, including UTRA TDD (3.84 Mcps), DECT and CDMA-based WLL systems, Advanced TDMA (EU funded project) and a proposed satellite packet radio data service.■ Radio planning study for the use of WLAN technologies (Bluetooth, 802.11b and Hiperlan II) for hot-spot coverage.
