It is found that the system performance is acceptable even for small spreading gains in a slow-fading multipath environment. Good performance has been achieved without the knowledge of the desired user's spreading sequence. This could lead to less complex receivers and higher capacity of users for SSMA than that of other access techniques.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130890564","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}

In large cities, small cells can be achieved by placing base station antennas at approximately street level, using the surrounding buildings as propagation obstacles. Cell planning strategies for microcells are quite different from the cell planning strategies used for macrocells. However, as shown, the terrain structure allows a more efficient channel reuse. A simple model of a large city consisting of square blocks with streets in between (Manhattan model) is used. Efficient strategies for street microcells are suggested. Results show that for fixed planning in a microcellular system, a very small number of channel groups will suffice to achieve acceptable signal-to-interference ratios.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131689956","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 frequency band is 900 MHz and, the interleave carrier spacing is 25 kHz. The modulation scheme is pi /4-shift QPSK. Developed technologies include extremely low-distortion multicarrier power amplification, modulation/demodulation with diversity reception, and speech processing incorporating VOX control for reducing the power consumption of portable sets. These technologies increase the capacity remarkably, and reduce the size of the base station equipment to one-fifth that of existing analog systems. The cost is also reduced considerably. To ensure high-quality radio transmission performance, a BER of 10/sup -2/ is achieved at a median E/sub b//N/sub 0/ of less than 11 dB in fading environments. This ensures robust speech and nonspeech (facsimile/data) transmissions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128805820","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 increase of the modulation index can improve the BER if the reflected signal power is 10 dB less than the direct signal in the two-ray fading model. A strategy which reduces the impact of delay spread even in the worst case situation is proposed. By increasing the roll-off factor of the lowpass filters and by lowering the modulation index, for a BER of 0.01, the delay spread immunity is increased 300% without the need for adaptive equalization. In the delay spread environment, CCI is not significant if it is less than -20 dB. AWGN interference is noticeable only when it is higher than -13 dB.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123299454","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}
