COST Action : 280-Propagation Impairment Mitigation for Millimetre Wave Radio Systems-
Start date : 18th June 2001
Duration : 4 Years
End date : 17th June 2005
No. Participating Countries : 14
OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the Action is to improve the design and planning of present and future millimetre wave broadband telecommunications systems (including broadcast) and services (especially multimedia) through the development of knowledge and tools for a refined evaluation of their performance.
To achieve this goal it will be necessary to co-ordinate European research activity in the following areas:
1. Designing and planning of millimetre-wave broadband telecommunications systems (including broadcast, and especially for multimedia services)
2. Development and implementation of propagation impairment mitigation techniques
3. Channel modelling for Earth-satellite and terrestrial paths above about 20 GHz
The Action will address the interest of European Industry to introduce terrestrial and satellite-based broadband telecommunication systems, which are making optimal use of the limited frequency spectrum. The work will build on the results of earlier successful COST Actions such as COST Action 255.
