Access

Integrated Access and Backhaul A 3GPP Release 16 capability allowing a 5G base station to wirelessly relay its own backhaul traffic to a parent node using the same NR air interface and spectrum it… Concept/Framework Interference Margin Interference Margin is the headroom a communication link has before interference degrades service below acceptable levels. It is a planning measure used to assess resilience. Operations Intermittent Connectivity An operating environment in which a device or system experiences repeated gaps in network availability rather than continuous connectivity or permanent absence of it, requiring applications and protocols designed to… Concept/Framework Intermodulation Distortion Intermodulation Distortion is unwanted signal products created when nonlinear components mix multiple frequencies and generate additional spurious tones. Hardware IoT Gateway A hardware device positioned between constrained edge devices and backend network infrastructure, aggregating device traffic and translating between the device-facing protocol — LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Modbus, and similar — and the… Hardware IP IP is the Internet Protocol, a network-layer protocol used to address and route packets across interconnected networks. It provides logical delivery between hosts. Protocol IP Address An IP Address is a logical address assigned to a network interface in an IP network. It is used for packet routing and reachability between hosts. Protocol ISAC A research direction exploring how existing cellular communication signals and infrastructure could simultaneously perform radar-like environmental sensing — detecting object position, movement, or presence — without requiring dedicated separate sensing… Concept/Framework iSIM A cellular subscriber identity implementation integrated directly within a device's system-on-chip rather than as a separate physical SIM card or discrete embedded SIM chip, provisioned and managed remotely through software. Hardware ISR The data-gathering component within the broader C4ISR capability framework, encompassing collection, processing, and dissemination of information about the operational environment, increasingly gathered through uncrewed aircraft systems and other remote sensing… Concept/Framework
