Assuming a 30 dB lower out-of-band interference power is required in a given RF bandwidth, the processing gain of SQAM-CDMA is increased by 7 dB over QPSK-CDMA and 9.5 dB over BPSK-CDMA in the hard-limited amplified channel.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"8 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":"123630639","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 communication link is modeled theoretically by the prediction of expected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which is determined by two factors, the sender-receiver distance and the fading phenomenon. The characteristics of that channel are examined and selected FEC-coding techniques are applied, including BCH, burst, Reed-Solomon, and convolutional codes each with different code rates. It is shown that FEC codes gain improvements of the channel, without significant differences between various code rates. The Viterbi algorithm for convolutional codes shows the best improvement of the transmission capability, even with low coding overhead.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"68 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":"126339262","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}

Cells are assumed to be equal in radius and the user density is assumed to be uniformly distributed among the cells. In the forward carrier (base station to mobile unit) a mobile unit is allowed to move uniformly in a target sector and the carrier to cochannel interference ratio from all cochannel base stations is evaluated at every location of the target mobile unit. The Erlang load versus the blocking probability is evaluated. The effect of the TDMA time slot assignment technique when a mobile unit requests service, is studied.

A theoretical model is developed for out-of-sight propagation in the 2-GHz band using different heights and locations of the transmitting antenna. The theory was verified by experimental results taken in New York City and Long Island areas, using the antenna heights which were less than the heights of the surrounding buildings. The path loss along the out-of-sight street was found to have two distinct characteristics: the first is a sudden power level drop (corner attenuation), and the second is a different slope (attenuation vs. distance) which follows the sudden corner attenuation. Both the theoretical model and the experimental data are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"26 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":"120986462","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}

Since the performance of the ASIC-based system must be guaranteed before fabrication, using CAD tools for VLSI design alone is not sufficient. By using a state-of-the-art system simulation tool the complete GSM physical layer was simulated. After optimization of the equalizer algorithm with the help of system simulation, the VLSI design was carried out using a bit-level correspondence between the high-level description (HDL) and system simulator model.
