X-Max is a cognitive radio network developed by xG Technology to deliver mobile services using licensed or unlicensed spectrum. It uses small base stations called xAPs connected to an xMSC through xMod devices. X-Max can intelligently detect available channels and avoid interference using technologies like dynamic spectrum access and 2x4 MIMO antenna configurations. This allows it to provide cost-effective mobile broadband connectivity over large areas using both licensed and unlicensed spectrum bands.

 Current situation Customers are demanding more
and more data applications to be delivered on the go.
However, the operator is using scarce expensive
licensed spectrum that is overburdened with
delivering core voice.
 The operator is facing a choice of acquiring more
licensed spectrum or losing customers due to
demand for advanced services.
Current situation

4. 

Cognitive radio : Cognitive radio (CR) is a form of
wireless communication in which a transceiver can
intelligently detect which communication channels
are in use and which are not, and instantly move into
vacant channels while avoiding occupied ones.
 This optimizes the use of available radio-frequency
(RF) spectrum while minimizing interference to other
users.

Working of x-Max
Technology

14. 
 Conventional, or “dumb” radios, have been designed with
the assumption that they were operating in a spectrum
band that was free of interference. As a result, there was
no requirement to endow these radios with the ability to
dynamically change parameters, channels or spectrum
bands in response to interference.
 xMax cognitive radios can identify potential impairments
to communications quality, like interference, path loss,
shadowing and multipath fading. They can then adjust
their transmitting parameters, such as power output,
frequency, and modulation to ensure an optimized
communications experience for users.
Advanced Cognitive
Sensing

15. 
 interference works against reliable and efficient wireless
communications. Interference can negatively impact
performance and coverage, and is the chief limiting factor
in high-capacity mobile systems. interference is
responsible in many cases for dropped calls, slow
download speeds and shortened battery life.
 xMax leverages proprietary xG developed technology to
implement two key approaches to dealing with
interference.
 The first is Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and
 Second one is by using 2x4 MIMO antenna
configurations.
Mitigating Interference

16. 
 xMax uses its real time sensing of interference on a
channel to instantly change channels when better
frequencies are detected. However, xMax goes
beyond simple DSA by incorporating sophisticated
interference mitigation (IM) software that enables
xMax to reliably operate on interference laden
channels that other radio systems could not operate
on. When xG’s interference mitigation technology is
added to its DSA capabilities, xMax can greatly
increase the capacity of both new and existing
spectrum assets.
Dynamic Spectrum
Access (DSA)

17. 
 The xMax radios employ new and powerful parallel processing
digital signal processers and computer processing units
(DSP/CPU) that support speeds up to 50 Giga OPS (billion
operations per second) for signal processing. This capable
processor, combined with 2x4 MIMO antenna configurations,
enables the xMax system to use patent-pending spatial
processing software to remove unwanted interference from the
target xMax signals. Each xMax cognitive radio can
simultaneously mitigate up to 24 mobile sources of interference
or jamming. By using xMax’s multi antenna technology to
separate unwanted interference from desired xMax signals, xG
is able to offer robust and reliable links in conditions that would
cause other radio systems to completely fail
