In recent years, significant attention has been directed toward the fifth generation of wireless broadband connectivity known as ‘5G’, currently being deployed by Mobile Network Operators. Surprisingly, there considerably less paid to ‘Wi-Fi 6’, new IEEE 802.1ax standard in family Wireless Local Area technologies with features targeting private, edge-networks. This paper revisits suitability cellular and Wi-Fi delivering high-speed Internet connectivity. Both aspire deliver significantly...
Multispectral imaging and deep learning have emerged as powerful tools supporting diverse use cases from autonomous vehicles to agriculture, infrastructure monitoring environmental assessment. The combination of these technologies has led significant advancements in object detection, classification, segmentation tasks the non-visible light spectrum. This paper considers 400 total papers, reviewing 200 detail provide an authoritative meta-review multispectral technologies, models, their...
Despite 5G still being embryonic in its development, there is already a quest for evidence to support decision-making government and industry. Although considerable technological, economic behavioural uncertainty, exploration of how the potential rollout may take place both spatially temporally required effective policy formulation. Consequently, cost, coverage implications networks across Britain are explored by extrapolating 4G LTE LTE-Advanced characteristics period 2020–2030. We focus on...
Many of the technologies driving both global economy and societal development, such as Internet Things, Industry 4.0 Smart Healthcare, depend on adequate capacity coverage digital connectivity. It is therefore essential that wireless connectivity can be delivered in a cost-efficient way by Mobile Network Operators, for benefit all ecosystem actors. The contribution this paper to analyse capacity, cost different enhanced Broadband (eMBB) infrastructure strategies, industry moves towards...
Abstract Extreme space weather due to coronal mass ejections has the potential cause considerable disruption global economy by damaging transformers required operate electricity transmission infrastructure. However, expert opinion is split between outcome being one of a temporary regional blackout and more prolonged event. The scenario proposed some expected last length disturbance, with normal operations resuming after couple days. On other hand, others have predicted widespread equipment...
Delivering broadband connectivity to unconnected areas is extremely challenging. The emergence of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems has been seen as a potential solution for connecting remote where engineering terrestrial infrastructure prohibitively expensive deploy. Despite the hype around these new technologies, we still lack an open-source modeling framework assessing techno-economics which therefore purpose this paper. Firstly, generalizable techno-economic model presented assess...
Moving from 4G LTE to 5G is an archetypal example of technological change. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) who fail adapt will likely lose market share. Hitherto, qualitative frameworks have been put forward aid with business model adaptation for MNOs facing on the one hand increasing traffic growth, while other declining revenues. In this analysis, we provide a complementary scenario-based assessment infrastructure strategies in relation mobile growth. Developing and applying open-source...
Optimal network planning is crucial to ensure viable investments. However, engineering analysis and cost assessment frequently occur independently of each other. Whereas considerable research has been undertaken on 5G networks, there a lack openly accessible tools that integrate the aspects, in techno-economic framework capable providing geospatially-explicit analytics. Consequently, this paper details an open-source python simulator for integrated modelling (pysim5G), enables both metrics...
The UN Broadband Commission has committed to universal broadband by 2030. But can this objective really be affordably delivered? aim of paper is assess viability in the developing world, quantifying relationship between demand-side revenue and supply-side cost. A comprehensive scenario-based simulation model developed open-source, capable evaluating global cost-effectiveness different 4G 5G infrastructure strategies. Utilizing remote sensing demand forecasting, least-cost network designs are...
Techno-economic assessment is a fundamental technique engineers use for evaluating new communications technologies. However, despite the techno-economics of fifth cellular generation (5G) being an active research area, it surprising there are few comprehensive evaluations this growing literature. With mobile network operators deploying 5G across their networks, therefore opportune time to appraise current accomplishments and review state-of-the-art. Such insight can inform flurry 6G papers...
Abstract Space weather phenomena have been studied in detail the peer‐reviewed scientific literature. However, there has arguably scant analysis of potential socioeconomic impacts space weather, despite a growing gray literature from different national studies, varying degrees methodological rigor. In this analysis, we therefore provide general framework for assessing critical infrastructure failure resulting geomagnetic disturbances, applying it to British high‐voltage electricity...
National infrastructure systems spanning energy, transport, digital, waste, and water are well recognised as complex interdependent. While some policy makers have been keen to adopt the narrative of complexity, application complexity‐based methods in public decision‐making has restricted by lack innovation associated methodologies tools. In this paper we firstly evaluate adaptive theory systems, comparing contrasting approach with traditional theory. We secondly identify five key theoretical...
Abstract In December 2015, a cyber‐physical attack took place on the Ukrainian electricity distribution network. This is regarded as one of first attacks infrastructure to have led substantial power outage and illustrative increasing vulnerability Critical National Infrastructure this type malicious activity. Few data points, coupled with rapid emergence cyber phenomena, has held back development resilience analytics attacks, relative many other threats. We propose overcome limitations by...
Work has now begun on the sixth generation of cellular technologies ('6G') and cost-efficient global broadband coverage is already becoming a key pillar. Indeed, we are still far from providing universal affordable connectivity, despite this being part Sustainable Development Goals (Target 9.c). Currently, both Mobile Network Operators governments lack independent analysis strategies that can help achieve target with available (4G 5G). Therefore, paper undertakes quantitative assessment...
Public policy requires public support, which in turn implies a need to enable the not just understand but also be engaged its development. Where complex science and technology issues are involved making, this takes time, so it is important identify emerging of type prepare engagement plans. In our horizon scanning exercise, we used modified Delphi technique [1]. A wide group people with interests interface (drawn from makers, adviser, practitioners, private sector academics) elicited long...
There have been many calls for a more strategic, long-term approach to national infrastructure in the UK and elsewhere around world. While appealing principle, developing strategy practice poses major challenges of complexity uncertainty. The Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium has set out systematic methodology analysis performance systems. It deals with each sector – energy, transport, digital communications, water supply, waste water, flood protection solid consistent framework...
