The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) on Monday said it has signed an agreement with the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (IIT Mandi) — in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Jammu (IIT Jammu) — for the development of “Wideband Spectrum-Sensor ASIC-Chip for Enhancing the Spectrum Utilisation”.
The project aims to develop a reliable and implementation-friendly wideband spectrum sensing (WSS) algorithm to improve spectrum efficiency by leveraging spectrum holes to deliver broadband services in rural India.
Dr Raj Kumar Upadhyay, CEO, C-DOT underscored the key role of indigenously designed and developed spectrum sensing technologies in meeting the specific requirements of our diverse country, reaffirming the commitment towards “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
Spectrum sensing enables cognitive radio users to adapt to the environment by detecting spectrum holes without causing interference to the primary network, according to a Ministry of Communications statement.
The agreement is signed under the Telecom Technology Development Fund(TTDF) scheme of the Department of Telecommunications. The scheme is designed …
