5 Academic Institutions Building 5G Technology

It’s likely that 5G, the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks, will be a complicated mish-mash of technologies. Some of the 5G vision includes existing technologies like LTE and LTE-Advanced Pro, self-organizing networks (SON), software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). But 5G will also likely include lesser-known technologies like massive …

NYU Wireless research shows real potential for millimeter wave in rural areas

It looks as though getting millimeter wave (mmWave) technology to work in rural areas might not be as daunting a task as it once appeared. Researchers at NYU Wireless went out into the field last summer to see for themselves, with some surprising results. In a paper titled “Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications: New Results for …

NYU researchers develop mobile self-care tools to mitigate onset of lymphedema

Each year, about 1.38 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have facilitated a 90 percent, five-year survival rate, among those treated. Given the increased rate and length of survival following breast cancer, more and more survivors are facing a life-time risk of developing breast cancer-related lymphedema; one of …

Does The New iPhone 7 Have Intel Inside? This Evidence Suggests It Does

Qualcomm has some of the best modem engineering in the world and having multiple vendors could result in unequal performance between different versions of the iPhone 7. (When Apple had both TSMC and Samsung manufacturing its A9 processor for iPhone 6s, it resulted in a difference of 5%-7% in battery life performance.) It’s likely that …
