Wireless Hybrid Enhanced Mobile Radio Estimators - WHERE

Wireless communications and navigation have different constraints to cope with. On the one hand, communication systems traditionally aim at high spectral efficiency with specific requirements such as low latency and low power consumption. On the other hand, navigation is usually based on the transmission of known data signals at low data rates with fine synchronization capabilities for efficient signal acquisition and tracking. The ICT project WHERE (Wireless Hybrid Enhanced Mobile Radio Estimators) will focus on exploiting the positioning information to enhance communications -and vice versa-within heterogeneous and/or cooperative wireless systems.
