  2. Mobile phone signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_signal

    Since cell phones rely on radio waves, which travel through the air and are easily attenuated (particularly at higher frequencies), mobile phones may be unreliable at times. Like other radio transmissions, mobile phone calls can be interrupted by large buildings , terrain, trees, or other objects between the phone and the nearest base.

  3. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss is a major component in the analysis and design of the link budget of a telecommunication system. This term is commonly used in wireless communications and signal propagation. Path loss may be due to many effects, such as free-space loss, refraction, diffraction, reflection, aperture-medium coupling loss, and absorption. Path loss is ...

  4. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    With cam drive systems, use of a dual cam can avoid the jerk of a single cam; however, the dual cam is bulkier and more expensive. The dual-cam system has two cams on one axle that shifts a second axle by a fraction of a revolution. The graphic shows step drives of one-sixth and one-third rotation per one revolution of the driving axle.

    where N c is the number of channels per cell, BW is the system bandwidth, and A c is Area of cell. Sectorization is briefly described in traffic load and cell size as a way to cut down equipment costs in a cellular network. [2] When applied to clusters of cells sectorization also reduces co-channel interference, according to Walke. [1]

  6. Erlang (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(unit)

    The Erlang B formula (or Erlang-B with a hyphen), also known as the Erlang loss formula, is a formula for the blocking probability that describes the probability of call losses for a group of identical parallel resources (telephone lines, circuits, traffic channels, or equivalent), sometimes referred to as an M/M/c/c queue. [5]

  7. Mobile Telephone Switching Office - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Telephone_Switching...

    With the subscriber's VLR Profile the MSC can determine the last known LAC/CID for this subscriber and knows which BTS to use when it needs to ring/page that phone for an incoming call. When the MSC gets the call, it checks its database for the location of the phone. Then it picks a frequency pair the phone will use in that cell to take the call.

  8. Transmission loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_loss

    Transmission loss in underwater acoustics describes the decrease of sound intensity that is reduced by a bubble curtain or other damping structure at a given frequency. The same term is sometimes used to mean propagation loss , which is a measure of the reduction in sound intensity between the sound source and a receiver, defined as the ...

  9. Data recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery

    The most common data recovery scenarios involve an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive.
