The radio spectrum is one of the preferred mediums for providing telephone services in both developing and established markets because of its ease of implementation and use in the mobile telephony environment. Regulatory authorities are placing operators under pressure each year to utilize the same amount of allocated radio bandwidth to carry more users, thus requiring more efficient use of the radio spectrum. In addition to this primary need, the demand for efficiency must not adversely affect the system performance; in this case the operating range of the radio links.

This project will evaluate and identify a range of modem technology options. Initially this will be done through computer simulation and finally through practical implementation and integration into an existing range of digital radio equipment to prove that the required performance advantages have been achieved.
