Wireless networking
Diversity reception
Network hardware; Wireless networking
A method for improving reception of a radio signal, typically achieved by the use of dual receivers whose antennas are located in physically distinct locations (which can be less than a metre apart). ...
Dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH)
Network hardware; Wireless networking
A term from UMTS, this is the physical channel from layer 2 on which the signalling is transmitted on the uplink by the UE (user equipment) to the Node-B (the base transceiver station).
Distributed atenna system

Network hardware; Wireless networking
Is a type of Radio Network Controller (RNC) in a 3G mobile wireless network.
Diversity
Network hardware; Wireless networking
A technique to reduce the effects of fading by using multiple spatially separated antennas to take independent samples of the same signal at the same time.
Dispersive channel
Network hardware; Wireless networking
Is a radio channel that not only introduces AWGN, but also the effects of multipath and frequency selective fading.
