It is shown that for this environment, the characteristics can be described by the Ricean distribution, where the X-factor correlates with the clutter density in the vicinity of the mobile receiving antenna. The Ricean K-factor indicates the small-scale fading margin required in a link budget calculation scenario, where pessimistic modelling, assuming Rayleigh fading, would lead to unnecessary high base station transmitter power and possible interference problems. This analysis correlates the vegetation density variations near the mobile receiving antenna to the Ricean K-factor enabling the prediction of the small-scale fading characteristics.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132401821","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}

Although the theory of these equalizers seems to be well developed, it is pointed out in this paper that it is inevitable to characterize them in an overall system approach which includes processing complexity, channel characteristics, error propagation, modulation schemes, channel coding and others before comparing them to linear equalizer structures. To reduce the signal processing complexity, our investigations are based on a single carrier system with frequency domain equalization (SC/FDE) which carries out the feed-forward equalization in the frequency domain. Furthermore, the specific structure of SC/FDE allows a better performance as compared to the classical DFE equalizer structures by reducing the effect of error propagation.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126969650","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}

Future applications and devices demands that full quality of service (QoS) flexibility be available to them at all times. QoS provision for mobile networks is a difficult affair with numerous research efforts abounding in this area. The instability of the radio channel makes bandwidth adaptation unpredictable; consequently a mechanism is needed that enables fast adaptation at the radio layer whilst allowing the network to follow this adaptation in its own way. We present an adaptive extension to RSVP, differential RSVP, which provides this mechanism. Features of this protocol include traffic specification with bandwidth granularity (for layered source coding applications) and independent frequency of adaptation for each node along a network path.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115745803","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}

Although many organizations have started using WLANs, there are still few tools available that assist in the design of WLAN networks. As a result, the current deployment of WLAN networks remains ad-hoc in nature. The objective of the research reported here is to develop modeling tools for performance optimization of WLAN networks. In particular, we attempt to develop propagation models that can predict the signal strength and interference in a WLAN system by taking environment specific parameters into account such as the structure of the building, presence or absence of stationary obstacles, etc (COST231 Final Report, 1998). This paper investigates the influence of moving obstacles, such as people, on radio wave propagation inside a building and the effect on received signal quality, in particular the bit error rate in an IEEE802.11 2.4 GHz channel. Our findings suggest that the presence of moving obstacles, such as people, causes strong variations in the received signal, which seriously affects the quality of the received signal.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131079999","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 beamforming is performed at both the packet sender and receiver at the beginning of a packet transmission, exploiting reciprocity of the MIMO (multiple-input/multiple-output) channels, thereby evading the complexity of instantaneous adaptive beamforming.

A network traffic prediction approach is then developed based on user clusters. We analyze three months of continuous network log data from the E-Comm network, an operational trunked radio system. After extracting traffic data from the raw data logs, we identify user clusters by employing the AutoClass tool and the K-means algorithm. Based on the identified user clusters, we use the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to forecast the network traffic by aggregating the predicted traffic of each user cluster. The predicted network traffic shows good agreement with the collected traffic data.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121643946","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}

Previous work (J. Bennet et al., 1999) has demonstrated that TCP suffers degraded performance in situations of high packet reordering. This paper will consider why video traffic over UDP also performs badly in situations of high packet reordering, due to the temporal inter-packet dependencies introduced by the MPEG video encoding structure. Wireless networks are especially prone to problems due to the higher levels of link layer retransmissions found in noisy wireless environments. An experimental investigation into the effects of video packet reordering using the Windows Media streaming system is presented. A method for invoking packet reordering is introduced, and a tool for client-side measurements of video quality is presented. Typical measurements of video performance undergoing reordering are shown, with a study of buffering occupancy at the client, and the potential impact this could have on video packet reordering demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121787603","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}
