Cloud Transmission System performance for mobile urban scenarios in the field

This paper presents the field trials carried out in Bilbao (Spain) for testing the feasibility of Cloud Transmission reception in mobile urban environments. The Cloud Transmission System (Cloud-Txn) is a new way of broadcasting or point to multipoint transmission system, designed for a flexible use of the spectrum, robustness against noise, multipath and capability to provide fixed or mobile reception while using low transmission power. Therefore this paper analyzes the system performance of the proposed signal structure based on the first measurements in the field so as to determine the coverage area of those kinds of services. Additionally, first approach of the required signal to noise ratio for a correct reception in mobile urban environments will be calculated. The results will provide reference results that can be used for planning purposes in this kind of scenarios.
