Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Wireless networks have become a necessity with the increased mobility in human life.
From cellular telephony to the Internet, all types of communication are now provided over wireless networks.
However, to offer wireless network coverage over an area requires a potentially expensive infrastructure deployment.
Such deployment requires base stations which until now have been completely proprietary to the equipment vendors.
Moreover, proprietary equipment is almost always costly and offer less flexibility than standardized modular solutions.
This situation results in a high cost for network upgradation and hinders network development.
A remedy is available via modularization, hence the Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) is trying to modularize and standardize one of the most expensive elements of the wireless infrastructure, the base station.
OBSAI standards aim to modularize the base station architecture and enable true interoperability among the various modules.

However, the goal has not yet been achieved due to some features of the standard.
This thesis project has studied the standards and pointed out some areas that must be concentrated upon when performing interoperability tests.
It also proposes several standards amendments to foster greater interoperability among the modules of a base station.
This study focuses on the RP3 interface of the OBSAI specification with the goal of making truly inter-operable baseband and RF modules, thus commoditizing the modules.
The result is expected to be lower cost, greater interoperability, faster time-to-market, and more cooperative research.
