Research Proposal

I want to carry out research in Telecommunications. I became interested in

Telecommunications during my internship in Pakistan Telecommunication Ltd (WLL).

These days Wireless Local Loop (WLL) also sometimes called radio in the loop (RITL)
or fixed-radio access (FRA) is very much in demand. It is a system that connects
subscribers to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) using radio signals as a
substitute for copper/fiber optics for all or part of the connection between the subscriber
and the switch. I am very much interested in this emerging field. WLL will enable many
customers who are not connected to our fiber network to receive a multitude of voice,
data and Internet services. Applications for WLL connectivity include LAN Interconnect,
Business Continuity (Remote Date Back-up) and Video Conferencing.

A developing nation like Pakistan will have to look to WLL technology as an efficient
way to deploy POTS (plain old telephone service) for millions of subscribers—without
the expense of burying tons of copper wire. Existing landline operators can extend their
network with WLL. Cellular operators can capitalize on their current network to deliver
residential service with WLL. New service providers can quickly deploy non-traditional
WLL solutions to rapidly meet a community's telephony needs.

Sweden, Germany and France are my preferred countries because of there excellent
universities with scientific resources, state-of-the-art laboratories with advanced
equipment, knowledgeable professors and excellent academic environment.

After completing my Doctorate in this revolutionary field, I shall be able to take part in
deploying Wireless Local Loop as an extension or as replacement to the existing system
in Pakistan.
