GPS is an entirely different technology compared to GPRS and GSM. GPS is used for satellite navigation, whereas GPRS and GSM are mobile communications technologies. However, since these acronyms sound a bit similar, it is possible to get confused between them. GPRS or General Packet Radio Service is a cellular technology enhancement in 2G GSM […]

High-Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) are network enhancements made to the second-generation (2G) GSM networks. The HSCSD technology is now obsolete; however, GPRS is still around and can be seen on mobile phones as the “G” symbol when 2G GSM networks serve a phone. HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data) was

Spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity are two radio communication techniques used in modern antenna systems in 4G LTE and 5G NR networks. Both these techniques play essential but separate roles in the MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna systems. Spatial diversity is a technique in MIMO that reduces signal fading by sending multiple copies of
Is spatial multiplexing different from spatial diversity? Read More »
The cellular antenna technologies have evolved considerably since the introduction of 4G LTE networks that employ the MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna systems. The latest generation of mobile networks, 5G NR, also uses the MIMO technology. MIMO is a modern antenna technology that employs multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver in 4G

Antenna diversity and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) are two technology concepts frequently used in mobile communications. Antenna diversity is a more fundamental concept, whereas MIMO is an antenna technology that benefits from antenna diversity. Antenna diversity is a technique in mobile networks that improves the radio link reliability through multiple antennas at the transmitter
Diversity vs MIMO: Is antenna diversity the same as MIMO? Read More »
MU-MIMO or Multi-User MIMO or Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output is a type of antenna technology that spreads the benefits of MIMO to multiple simultaneous users. While MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) has existed in the mobile communications industry since HSPA+ (HSPA Evolution), MU-MIMO is part of 4G LTE and is also used in 5G
