This cell delay variation may cause cell clumping in a cell stream sent normally from users, so that some cells may exceed the peak rate. These cells are discarded as the cell violating the peak rate by usage parameter control on the network node. As a result, a considerable quantity of cells will be lost. To avoid this problem, the method that extends the narrowed cell interval to the peak interval by a spacer (or a shaper) has been proposed. However, this method has a drawback that cell delays increase because of extending the cell interval by force. The authors propose a multiplexing method to make up the drawback. They show that this method can suppress the cell delay variation which may cause cell clumping exceeding the peak rate. As a result, they show that the quantity of cell delays can be reduced because the spacer decreases in frequency in use.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116627844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two examples are given to illustrate this technique and compare it with traditional approaches. The improved quality of testing leads to a faster detection of nonconformances and a higher quality of products in a shorter development interval. Although the application discussed in this paper covers protocol conformance testing, the techniques for improving the quality of testing can be applied to other types of testing such as feature testing and testing between two different network elements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125103352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical approximations of the bit error rate (BER) in correlated Rayleigh fading are presented taking carrier phase synchronization into account. Binary PSK modulation with pilot-symbol-aided coherent detection and binary DPSK modulation with differential detection are considered. Both schemes are candidates for an asynchronous up-link, which is the critical link. Technique (i) has advantages in fast fading, otherwise technique (ii) is recommended. Technique (iii), although basically identical with technique (ii), is likely to suffer from side effects.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126722957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel approach for separating multiple digital signals received at an antenna array. Our approach exploits the temporal structure of digital signals to simultaneously determine the array response and the symbol sequence for each signal. Uniqueness of the estimates is established for signals with BPSK modulation format. This approach for separating digital signals is applicable to an unknown array geometry and propagation environment, which is particularly useful in PCS applications. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of this new technique.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126735223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has largely been achieved by using bit reduced representations of speech signals through advanced speech coding techniques. Transmission errors pose a threat to the quality of voice service in these systems. Forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques is often used to curb the effects of channel impairments, but the performance is limited to bandwidth limitations. This can result in a rapid decline of the speech quality as the effects of the channel impairments increase. We describe a technique for further improving the FEC performance without additional spectral requirements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116125051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional techniques of distributing poles and zeros on Smith charts generally do not work. In the past, such approaches have lead to suboptimal designs for applications where the data capacity sought is considerably less than the Shanon capacity of the lines. Typical subscriber loops are less than perfect and for the current demands on the HDSL at T1/T2 and E1 rates every possible venue for the HDSL design need to be investigated, if not exploited. The authors present flexible computational techniques that explore and optimize system components in view of operating environment of the HDSL and/or the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), and the inherent limitations of the system components. The optimization occurs automatically by forcing the computer to track the effects of incremental changes of the subsystem performance (e.g. echo cancelers or equalizers), or the component values (R's and C's in the matching circuits) in context of the functional constraints of the line (HDSL, ADSL, duplex, dual-duplex, triplex, etc.) in conjunction with the subscriber loop (CSA, Loops <18 kft., American, Australian, European, ANSI, ETSI, etc.) environments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122392563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-channel switches can provide higher performance (e.g., throughput, cell loss probability, delay) by exploiting the concept of channel grouping. Instead of being routed to a specific output channel, a cell is routed to any channel belonging to an appropriate channel group which may be defined as a collection of channels transmitted over a single optical fiber. The main goal of the paper is to develop a switching paradigm that accomplishes multichannel switching as a generalization of single-channel switching paradigms that are currently prevalent. The resulting architecture must maintain the required features of single-channel switching (such as multicasting, and simplicity in hardware) while providing the advantages of multichannel switching (such as multi-rate and super-rate switching, and higher performance).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122596170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
