Budapest University of Technology and Economics Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics Department of Electric Power Engineering Possibility of wireless communication in a railway carriage Ferenc GAZDAG, assistant lecturer János LÖCHER, research engineer György VARJÚ, professor Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Introduction Using Wireless LAN in a railway carriage - Why we need this? - Introducing the used devices - Presenting the place of measurements - Result of the measurement - Conclusions - Future plans (realisation) Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Internet on the train The reasons to deal with WLAN inside a carriage -plan for managers to use their notebooks during the travel -mainly based on IC and EC (Inter and European City train) -the wired solution has too many problems phisycal connection (can be damaged) fixed number of users Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Used devices We need an Access Point, WLAN card, spectrum analiser • Access point (router), IEEE 802.11g • SMC 2804WBR, 100mW • WLAN card in the notebook • SMC 2835W (802.11g) • HP PCMCIA (802.11b) -spectrum analyser (HP8594E) with an antenna Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004

Some spectrum Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Some spectrum Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Some spectrum Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Some spectrum Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Conclusions -it can be work, with some restrictions avoid two AP-s workin in each other range, HW/SW find possible EM noise sources -the field is strong enough outside the carriage -the transfer rate is not a real function of the field strength -the effect of the human presence must be investigate Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
Thank you for your attention! Cost 286 Hamburg, 25-26/11/2004
