Assa Abloy use these batteries as a back-up in their door solution systems in case there is a power loss. The main function is to be able to open doors that are part of an emergency exit route. Thus, approximately 200 battery packs were used to collect data re
High data rate is still the most crucial factor in cellular systems, and with 5g approaching new techniques are studied to achieve higher bit rates. Using MIMO technology, the spatial domain was exploited through beamforming and multiplexing multiple users’ data together assured more spectrum efficiency which resulted in higher bit rates. Reciprocity based beamforming is feasible in TDD systems du
