Since Release 8 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the uplink control channel called the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is specified. In this paper, we propose a new multi-user joint receiver processing for LTE PUCCH that counteracts the intra-cell interference (ICI). Using the fact that the received signal in PUCCH signaling follows a constrained tensor model, a multi-user receiver based on an iterative joint channel/code estimation and symbol detection is proposed. The interest in such a challenging setting relies on the overhead reduction synchronization errors defined by time offset and inaccuracies of timing align. Simulation results show remarkable performance gains of the proposed receiver compared to the conventional time-frequency decorrelator based receiver under the same conditions.

Why Direct Transmission of 5G Radio over Optical Fiber?Bob Walter
An argument for replacing CPRI in mobile wireless fronthaul links with high performance analog optical transceivers that directly transmit high order modulation, spread spectrum OFDM radio signals over optical fiber and meet 3GPP E-UTRA specs. Replacing CPRI with an RF over Fiber link enables the consolidation of the radio and the virtualization of the remote radio head (RRH) within the baseband unit (BBU). In turn, this can reduce the network complexity, power consumption, CAPEX and OPEX while increasing bandwidth and improving bandwidth efficiency. If BBU processing time could be reduced to less than 2.3 ms, fronthaul reach could be extended up to 70 km.
This document describes the Integris 2000 product, which is a test instrument for validating CPRI serial communications used in radio access network installations. It can test aspects of the physical layer such as optical power and bit errors, and validate the CPRI layer state.

Also included is an overview of our ground breaking Plasma Antenna device (PSiAD) which is a monolithic silicon antenna that incorporates plasma technology to provide a fast switched beam antenna thus giving a beamsteering capability for radios operating in the 1GHz to 120GHz range.
Both the antenna ranges can be classed as smart as they allow for high power, wide bandwidth antennas that can be used for wireless backhaul, small cell backhaul, small cell access in 4G LTE and LTE-A deployments.
Some of the designs provide smart beamforming capability at the common satellite frequencies thus giving a Land/Mobile terminal with steering that can track a satellite - L-band, X-band, KU-band and Ka-band are all supported.
Finally our higher mmWave frequency solutions are ideal for high capacity backhaul, interference reduction in data demanding 4G and 5G cellular networks and we are currently researching support for mmWave 5G antenna with full beamsteering and beamforming.
How to build high performance 5G networks with vRAN and O-RANQualcomm Research
5G networks are poised to deliver an unprecedented amount of data from a richer set of use cases than we have ever seen. This makes efficient networking in terms of scalability, cost, and power critical for the sustainable growth of 5G.

The migration to IP has placed new demands on SCADA radio system capacity with equipment designers working to satisfy spectrum efficiency demands within economic constraints. Exciting new technologies have dramatically reduced the price of efficient quadrature amplitude modulation techniques to the point where implementation in moderately priced UHF SCADA radio systems is possible. This presentation will describe some of the technology behind a new low-cost digital radio that delivers 60 bps in 12.5 kHz for use in licensed UHF frequency bands with some discussion on application examples.
John Yaldwyn, Chief Technology Officer, 4RF Australia
This document discusses the increasing bandwidth requirements for fronthaul networks that connect baseband units and remote radio heads as newer wireless technologies like LTE-Advanced are deployed. It notes that while CPRI standards have increased maximum line rates up to 24 Gbps, this still may not provide enough capacity for the highest configurations of LTE-A defined by 3GPP. The document argues that compression techniques will be necessary to support LTE-A features within the bandwidth limits of existing fiber networks, and it reviews lossy and lossless compression approaches.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
