Lucent improves 3G capacity with new codec
Lucent Technologies has announced a breakthrough from Bell Labs, its research and development arm, that dramatically increases the efficiency of a critical chip used in the company's 3G network equipment. This new chip design will substantially increase wireless network capacity, consequently reducing costs for mobile operators. The new baseband processor offers performance improvements for Lucent's base station equipment, allowing these systems to serve up to 10% more customers -- with the highest data transmission speeds -- than base stations incorporating other available baseband processors. It also makes possible less power-hungry mobile devices able to accommodate multimedia communications. more

Lucent to enhance the capacity of 3G base stations - in 2003
Lucent Technologies today announced a series of planned enhancements to its 3G base station platform that will boost performance and capacity. Lucent disclosed that its 3G-ready Flexent OneBTS base station will incorporate an optional "Intelligent Antenna and BLAST" (IA/BLAST) technology, with enhanced amplifier innovations developed by Bell Labs. Bell Labs researchers have shown that BLAST can improve network capacity by up to 300% in a typical configuration. Lucent's OneBTS base station platform will begin initial shipments during the latter half of this year, and, depending on operator rollout plans, volume shipments will follow in 2002. As capacity and traffic requirements dictate, IA/BLAST technology will be introduced in 2003" more

Lucent unveils new base station chip
Researchers at Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs have created the first all-silicon chips for the part of wireless networks that receives radio signals from mobile handsets. Today's radio receiver in base stations contains 10 to 20 chips comprised of gallium arsenide, which is a substantially more costly semiconducting material than silicon, yet is needed to satisfy the high-performance requirements of a cellular network. Bell Labs researcher Jenshan Lin and his colleagues, Olga Boric-Lubecke and Penny Gould, created a radio receiver comprised of only three silicon chips -- roughly the size of a quarter - which is 100 times smaller than the gallium arsenide-based radio. The silicon chips also are 10 to 100 times less expensive to manufacture." more

Lucent R&D center in France continues to expand
Lucent Technologies today announced that its Bell Labs Centre of Excellence in France, has grown to more than 450 people in the last six months. The Centre comprises three sites in France: Le Plessis Robinson, Lannion and Rouen, specialising in UMTS/3G development. These sites form part of Lucent's Bell Labs' global "Virtual Lab" concept, uniting over 30,000 researchers in 30 countries around the world. The Centre of Excellence was created in October 1999 with 27 people to examine and develop current and next-generation wireless technologies." more
