To support higher user density, high user mobility, and enhanced network capacity, extensive frequency reuse in microcellular systems becomes necessary. Small cell radii result in more frequent handovers which in general overload other vital functions of the network control. This paper presents a new fuzzy logic based handover algorithm which results in sharp reduction in the number of handovers from those when a conventional algorithm is used. Furthermore, the proposed handover decision may be extended to include multiple performance criteria in order to make the handover process more robust while minimizing the number of unnecessary handovers.","PeriodicalId":117877,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Proceedings and Exhibition.

Also a lot of other applications are foreseen for the location service, when implemented. In the US a five-year, three-phase implementation of the E911 services is the most likely scenario. The authors study the feasibility of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) for the MS emergency locating in each of the three phases. The results are relevant to all GSM based systems, i.e., to DCS 1800 and to PCS 1900. The TDMA based GSM offers some inherent means of calculating the location of the MS. The serving cell is already known by the mobile switching centre (MSC) and if wanted also by the operation and maintenance center (OMC). A set of measurement functions is already implemented in the MS that can be used to locate it more accurately. We investigate the use of timing advance (TA) and observed timing difference (OTD). By using the existing measurement functions the complexity of the handsets and the network does not increase much and additional costs remain moderate.","PeriodicalId":117877,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Proceedings and Exhibition.

The one way messaging service concept is the reverse of paging service. However, unlike terrestrial based paging service, which is limited to the local areas, the PMS via INSAT would be available across the country as the satellite footprints cover the entire country. The PMS can be introduced advantageously through the Reporting Service which is one of the proposed services of the INSAT-MSS system. Coupling the one-way PMS with terrestrial paging service and satellite data broadcast service can considerably enhance the value and versatility of this service. In this paper the proposed Reporting Service of INSAT-MSS is briefly described. The marginal modifications required to the Reporting Service configuration, which is essentially meant for enterprise communications, to introduce one-way PMS are identified.","PeriodicalId":117877,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Proceedings and Exhibition.

The location service provided as a part of the CDPD standards enable mobiles to be located with an accuracy of a cell size which is of the order of a few kilometers. The paper also presents an alternative approach for providing a location service by integrating the CDPD data service with a standard positioning system, such as GPS, for locating mobiles with a precision of about 100 meters.","PeriodicalId":117877,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Proceedings and Exhibition.

UMTS standards and ITU recommendations for FPLMTS will be available for the introduction of systems around the year 2000. The GSM evolution will possibly implement some UMTS services already before the commercial introduction of UMTS which is planned to take place in Europe for the year 2002. UMTS services include speech, messaging, fax, data, video, high bit rate bearers up to 2 Mbps, local area systems (PABXs or LANs), teleshopping and the distribution of information products.

As an alternative it is possible not to use a guard time but design receivers able to equalize the intersymbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI). We show how to design fractionally spaced linear or decision-feedback MIMO equalizers for multitone systems without the guard time. Full complexity and reduced complexity solutions are investigated. The design is made for an MMSE criterion and the steady-state performance is analyzed. It is shown that MIMO equalization outperforms the guard time technique, that fractionally spaced devices are very effective and the complexity reduction produces a performance degradation which is negligible compared to full complexity fractionally spaced devices, especially when the processing rate is larger than the symbol rate.","PeriodicalId":117877,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Proceedings and Exhibition.
