It provides significant insight into ring planning by studying the impact of the number of nodes on a ring, realizable assignments, and ring interconnection. A new concept of realizable assignments is developed and studied. Realizable assignments provide a pragmatic method of determining the assignment capacity of the Bidirectional Line Switched Rings. The ring interconnection analysis studies the impact of inter-ring vs. intra-ring demand, drop and continue, and DS1 grooming at ring interconnect nodes on the economic prove-in of rings.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"24 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":"116913691","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}

The proposed architecture includes a service platform that provides communication services and their management to multimedia applications and an application platform that provides end-point application services. The former is implemented via an interface re siding at OSI Presentation Service Access Point (PSAP) and the latter via an interface residing at OSI Application Service Access Point (ASAP). It is anticipated that the combination of the proposed integrated application/service platform will ensure the interoperability among existing and future multimedia applications within the broadband environment. It is widely accepted that the key requirement for a multimedia application is the availability of a distributed multimedia environment. Multimedia applications could be distinguished as interactive or non-interactive such as conferencing and video-on-demand, respectively, and impose specific requirements to be met, i.e. synchronization of isochronous streams, end-to-end delay constraints and multicast transmissions. In this paper we propose an enhanced protocol/service structure that overcomes the weaknesses of the conventional OSI Reference Model. The result of this approach is an application/service platform that provides a QoS support throughout all OSI upper layers. Finally, adaptations of OSI elements are proposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"17 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":"123592936","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}

One is suited for parallel frequency estimation while the second is less complex but requires previous frequency correction. The algorithms are investigated using both analysis and simulation. The two algorithms approximately lead to the same results as known from linear modulation techniques. Using a differential detection MSK receiver, an optimal preamble of length 16 is sufficient for achieving SNR losses below 0.5 dB at 12 dB, when interpolating the differential phase sequence to 8/T.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"1 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":"116847013","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}

The first one allows for identification of up to 3 insertions and/or deletions in a given block, permitting quick synch recovery. This method is based on variable length codes. The second method is of block type, and allows for detection of large numbers of insertions and deletions.

The EBF performs nonlinear estimation of the channel and data simultaneously, and achieves suboptimal symbol-by-symbol demodulation in unknown channels. The complexity of the EBF is exponential in a parameter that is typically chosen to be less than the channel length and the filter lag. This key characteristic makes the EBF practical for both long channels and large constellations. Simulations characterizing the performance of EBFs in severe intersymbol interference are performed and demonstrate the fast convergence and robust equalization of the EBFs for linearly modulated signals on unknown channels. Also, a principled adaptive complexity reduction algorithm called the reduced-state EBF (RSEBF) is developed and applied to 16-QAM signals.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"111 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":"128503747","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}

The focus is on the characterization of the smoothing effect on the individual traffic streams as they traverse the network nodes. We develop an analytical model and a method of analysis for a generic node. For Markov modulated on-off streams, it is found that the on period gets lengthened as the stream passes through each node. The characterization of the lengthening effect allows a departure stream to be approximated by another Markov modulated on-off stream with modified parameters. The method permits a recursive computation of performance at all the nodes in a tandem network representing an end-to-end connection. The accuracy of the approximate analysis is validated by comparing it with simulation results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":112111,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICC/SUPERCOMM'94 - 1994 International Conference on Communications","volume":"46 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":"127372970","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}
