Advanced Technologies for 4G: Mobile Broadband Multimedia Everywhere

Nortel's Wireless Technology Lab (WTL) is working on numerous innovations that will fundamentally rewrite the economic equation for wireless access infrastructures and pave the way for ubiquitous deployment of networks that support true broadband. From the industry's most compact 4G base station, to new antenna designs, sophisticated scheduling algorithms, advanced beam forming, and mobile multi-hop relay, the WTL continues to pioneer breakthroughs that will dramatically lower the cost per bit of over-the-air transmission, while improving spectral efficiency and boosting data rates, capacity, coverage, reach, and throughput.
