Qualcomm is elevating its role as a market leader by bringing breakthrough concepts to LTE’s evolution. We believe that the next significant performance leap will come from heterogeneous networks, or HetNets, which bring the network closer to the user through low-power nodes such as pico and femto-cells. LTE Advanced uses adaptive interference management techniques to further improve the capacity and coverage of these HetNets. There by, ensuring fairness among users and an enhanced mobile experience, especially for those users at the cell edge. LTE Advanced also introduces multicarrier to leverage ultra wide bandwidths up to 100 MHz, supporting very high data rates.
UMTS Long Term Evolution, LTE, is the technology of choice for the majority of network operators worldwide for providing mobile
broadband data and high-speed internet access to their subscriber base. Due to the high commitment LTE is the innovation platform
for the wireless industry for the next decade.
This class will provide the basics of this fascinating technology. After attending this course you will have an understanding of
OFDM-principles including SC-FDMA as the transmission scheme of choice for the LTE uplink. Multiple antenna technology (MIMO),
a fundamental part of LTE, will be explained as well as its impact on the design of device and network architecture. We’ll give a quick
introduction into the evolution of this technology including future upgrades of LTE features like multimedia broadcast, location based
services and increasing bandwidth through carrier aggregation.
The second part of the course will provide an overview including practical examples and exercises on how to test a LTE-capable device
while performing standardized RF measurements such as power, signal quality, spectrum and receiver sensitivity. We’ll address how
to automate these measurements in a simple and cost-effective way. We will introduce application based testing by demonstrating
end-to-end (E2E), throughput and application testing using the Rohde & Schwarz R&S®CMW500 Wideband Radio Communication
Tester. Examples of application tests are voice over LTE, VoLTE or Video over LTE.
LTE Advanced is the next major milestone in the evolution of LTE and is a crucial solution for addressing the anticipated 1000x increase in mobile data. It incorporates multiple dimensions of enhancements including the aggregation of carriers, advanced antenna techniques. But most of the gain comes from optimizing HetNets, resulting in better performance from small cells. Qualcomm Technologies has prototyped and demonstrated the benefits of LTE Advanced HetNets at many global events. The first step of LTE Advanced—Carrier Aggregation, was commercially launched in June 2013. It was powered by Qualcomm Technologies' third generation Gobi LTE modems, integrated into Snapdragon 800 solutions.

A multimedia networking system allows for the data exchange of discrete and continuous media among computers.
This communication requires proper service and protocols for data transmission.
LAYERS: Provide a set of operations to the requesting application. Logically related services are grouped into layers according to the OSI layes.
PROTOCOL: A protocol consists of a set of rules which must be followed by peer layer instances during any communication between these two peers.
Oil and Gas companies rely on dependable, high speed communications to support their mission critical operations, both at sea and on land. In addition, this infrastructure must also support crew welfare, enabling workers to access their preferred Internet services and stay in touch with family and friends.
Dror Goldenberg from Mellanox presented this deck at the HPC Advisory Council Switzerland Conference.
“High performance computing has begun scaling beyond Petaflop performance towards the Exaflop mark. One of the major concerns throughout the development toward such performance capability is scalability – at the component level, system level, middleware and the application level. A Co-Design approach between the development of the software libraries and the underlying hardware can help to overcome those scalability issues and to enable a more efficient design approach towards the Exascale goal.”

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Exploding demand for bandwidth is pushing data
center teams to rethink their network infrastructure
as they look to increase port count and fiber density,
increase lane capacities, reduce latency and prepare
to migrate to higher speeds.
Easier said than done. Even as data centers transition
to 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G, standards are being
developed for 400G and beyond. Judging by the
Ethernet roadmap, the path forward is neither
clear nor straight. Driven by the emergence of
many new technologies—including more efficient
modulation, new transmission schemes and new
fiber types—data center managers are faced with
more choices than ever.
There are numerous migration paths from current
network speeds to the higher speeds you’ll need in
the future. They all use a different mix of technologies,
speeds and standards.
“What happens in an internet minute”;
Exelacom infographic; Feb. 2016
Your infrastructure must be able to support all of
them. To do that, it must be:
• Agile and flexible: Integrate easily into your
existing network environment while seamlessly
adapting to new applications and unforeseen
future changes
• High density and minimum redesign: Keep the
growing fiber network manageable without
compromising the signal performance required
to support higher lane speeds
• Cloud friendly and scalable: Support capacity
planning and deployment as well as strategies
to reduce cost and complexity in the network
The answer isn’t just higher-speed fiber, more
adaptable connectors or better patching and
splicing solutions. It’s all of them—engineered in
concert and working together to deliver speed,
simplicity and savings.

Your infrastructure challenges are unique. So is your
migration path to higher speeds. CommScope’s high-
speed migration platform gives you the agility, speed
and density you need while keeping your infrastructure
efficient and manageable.
Designed with modular building blocks, the platform
provides a long-term strategy for supporting higher speeds
and emerging applications—without having to rip and
replace. Expand capacity as you need, when the time is
right, without overspending or overprovisioning.
CommScope’s high speed migration platform addresses the
key challenges you face every day regarding the growth of
your network infrastructure.
• How do you increase fiber and equipment port density
while keeping it manageable?
• Which technologies provide the capabilities you need
now—and an open path to the future?
• How can you guarantee support for increased speeds in
the future without having to redesign the data center?
• How will your high speed migration plan affect your
time to market and operational and deployment costs?
Higher speeds—minimal redesign
As application speeds increase, loss budgets shrink.
Everything in the optical path contributes to the signal loss.
Meanwhile, network complexity and link spans continue to
grow, adding to the problem. The solution requires an end-
to-end channel approach featuring ultra-low-loss (ULL)
multimode, including OM5 wideband multimode fiber.
CommScope’s high speed migration platform delivers.
For high-speed links (10G and above), our ULL
solutions are designed to support all existing
and emerging multimode applications—especially
challenging new technologies including PAM4
modulation. So you can extend your link spans
and increase your speed without having to rip and
replace. Our evolving high speed migration platform
also includes OM5 multimode, opening the door to
shortwave division multiplexing (SWDM). Now you
can quadruple your OM4 capacity while maintaining
the familiar duplex multimode architecture.
Keeping density manageable
Today’s network architectures are shifting to spine-
leaf, fabric topologies. The any-to-any connectivity
requires higher equipment port density and equally
dense fiber connectivity. CommScope’s high speed
migration platform can keep your growing fiber density
under control.
Our high-density (HD) and ultra-density (UD) fiber
panels are uniquely designed to provide open access
to individual fibers. At the same time, an innovative
fiber containment and routing design protects
every connection and keeps the fiber infrastructure
accessible and manageable. The result? Easier and
faster moves, adds and changes; accelerated mean
time to repair; simplified installation and lower costs.
Real challenges—real solutions

A growing portfolio
of modular, scalable
solutions
The high speed migration platform is continually
evolving. As a member of the global standards bodies
focused on network infrastructure, CommScope has
an inside track on the trends and technology shaping
the industry. As standards change, the high speed
migration platform will adapt and grow—with ready
support for the next evolution of your data center
and the applications it serves.
High-Density (HD) and Ultra-Density (UD)
fiber panels
CommScope’s HD and UD panels feature a unique split
tray design for open access to all fibers and connections.
This design enables changes to individual fibers and
connections while ensuring the existing live circuits
are not disturbed. A more reliable fiber routing system
ensures all cables remain ordered, visible and accessible
as they exit the front and rear of the panel. HD panels
offer 48 duplex LC or 32 MPO ports per rack unit while
the UD panels feature 72 duplex LC or 48 MPO ports per
RU. Both support singlemode, OM4 and OM5 multimode
As network complexity and fiber density increase, so do
the challenges of documenting and tracking the connected
environment. An automated infrastructure management (AIM)
solution like SYSTIMAXimVision from CommScope monitors
your growing physical layer for maximum performance
and minimal risk.
• Accurately document end-to-end connectivity—including
point-to-multipoint connections
• Automatically monitor and record all physical layer changes
as they occur
• Receive alerts when any unplanned or unauthorized
changes are made
• Identify unused IT assets and cabling for reuse
Migrating to faster speeds adds
more components, cables and
connections—all of which must be
monitored and managed. Manually documenting
the connected environment using spreadsheets is
virtually impossible.
SYSTIMAX imVision automatically tracks every connection,
providing real-time information for location, status,
connectivity path and more. So you can handle moves/add/
changes more easily, accelerate mean time to repair and
optimize your entire infrastructure.
Many of the components in CommScope’s high speed
migration platform are available with optional imVision
intelligence. Ask your CommScope representative for
more information.
and utilize the SYSTIMAX G2 fiber module. A full line
