<Sometimes a faster speed is needed to fight through an area filled with base stations sending out competing signals> Weird stuff, although some operators in our beloved, free, south-eastern neighbors have been known to boost the signal level of their base stations to capture the roaming charges of visiting finnish sonera-radiolinja tourists.(although there is a non-roaming base station very close) But then the level of expertise goes totally orthogonal at this point: <However, other techniques are being used to battle network congestion. For instance, Verizon Wireless is using a technique known as "compression," which shrinks the size of a file to help speed its route through the new, next generation network it launched in January. > After the promising start of using the word "vocoder"?? Back to using zip-zip to compress audio?? But I guess few who undesrtand these issues becomes a journalist?? Ilmarinen Here it all goes severely hopping, and spreading whatever is easy to spread. The origins of this text would be interesting to find out, for somebody studying either regular propaganda or urban legends, socially induced myths or regular results of not understanding anything. ---- AT&T Wireless also plans to attack capacity problems by borrowing a technique made famous by Qualcomm, which holds most of the patents for a cell phone standard known as CDMA (code division multiple access), Nelson said. Cell phone calls on some phone networks not using CDMA travel along one path, never varying. AT&T Wireless plans to adopt "frequency hopping," which will vary the paths the signals take on its way to a cell phone. The signal is then spread around, cutting down on possible interference issues, he said. --- hmm, after trying to de-de-de-de-code the journalistic spread, one might find something smart, that old thing of frequency hopping in the GSM standard. (perfect to do between time slots) Funny stuff, as that is where CDMA has the root of most of its inherent problems... Btw, P-Roberts of R-Kansas does not only have a cool sense of humor, it is also bald... (watching CSPAN, RealNetWorks have really improved their zip-zip compression of the background as well as his bald head)
