The idea of orbiting solar arrays beaming power to Earth has been around since 1968. In 1971, Peter Glaser patented a microwave-based power transmission technology. Since then, most of the research has centered around that same problem of wireless transmission. Initial costs associated with launching solar arrays into orbit have also been problematic, to say the least. Now, in early 2010, the European space company Astrium is looking for a partner to get a demonstration project off the ground. The advantages of space-based solar over terrestrial solar are numerous and large. Earth based solar [...]

Due to the non-orthogonal uplink transmission in W-CDMA the principles applied for the newly definedtransport channel Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) are fundamentally different from HSDPA.The shared resource in the system is the received interference at the Node B and a transmission at a singleUE can impact the raise over thermal noise as received by different Node B. Continuous uplink powercontrol is still an essential means of link adaptation due to the well known near-far problem. Consequentlyit was decided to support soft handover for E-DCH to minimize intercell interference. Unlike HSDPAthe [...]
