Collaboration with M. Karray of Orange-Labs

Participants : Bartek Błaszczyszyn, Francois-Xavier Klepper.

Since 2007 the collaboration with France Télécom has not been part of any formal framework. Spontaneous collaborations continue with Mohamed Karray, with whom we work on the coverage and capacity of the CDMA, UMTS and OFDM networks. This resulted in three patents. The pertinence of our approach has already been recognized by Orange Corporate. This operator uses some of our methods in its dimensioning tool UTRANDIM . This year the collaboration lead to two publications on the performance evaluation and dimensioning of cellular networks (see Section  6.1.1 ) and the co-advising of a Master Student Fran cois-Xavier Klepper.
