It is expected that these systems utilise multiple radio access technologies, seamlessly integrated to form a heterogeneous wireless access network, thus enabling total ubiquitous computing. On the arrival of a service request from a smart space user or device, the network operator must assign one of the available access networks. Selecting the network that has the highest probability of providing the best quality of service (QoS) for a particular service type is an important consideration for overall network stability and QoS provisioning. In this paper, we present the aspects of intelligent radio resource management based on policy based call admission control to select the best available network and fuzzy logic based inter-system handover control. The admission controller admits a new user based on the current load and service mix in each available network. The fuzzy logic controller focuses on inter-system handover initiation so as to maintain satisfactory QoS to the end user, while limiting excessive inter-system handover attempts.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"38 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":"132924947","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 previously proposed UDP-Lite project was designed to replace traditional UDP, so that erroneous UDP payloads could be passed up to the application layer instead of being discarded. The main argument of UDP-Lite is that many real-time multimedia applications actually prefer damaged packets over lost ones because of their error resilience capabilities. The major drawback of UDP-Lite is the backward incompatibility against traditional UDP stacks in numerous UDP devices. In addition, applications have no choice but to accept UDP-Lite packets as normal ones. This paper introduces another approach, UDP-Liter, which makes use of the concept of UDP-Lite, and yet maintains 100% backward compatibility. Better yet, UDP-Liter will give applications the flexibility to handle normal packets and corrupted packets differently.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"16 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":"115621694","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 of the important and interesting techniques for multi-hop networks is a multi-path routing. By using the multipath routing, multiple routes from a source node to a destination node can be established. In this paper, we propose the error correcting and diversity combiner scheme on multiple routes in wireless multi-hop networks to reduce bit errors. The diversity combiner outputs the likelihood information from the packets transmitted via multiple routes. By feeding the likelihood information into the Viterbi decoder, the diversity gain can be obtained. We evaluate the packet error rate and the total traffic. As a result, the packet error rate can be improved. Furthermore, the total traffic can be reduced in the low E/sub b//N/sub o/ in spite of the traffic increase due to transmission via redundant routes.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"10 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121004917","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 channel quality conditions and dynamics experienced during data transmissions can be affected by the mechanism used to assign free channels, this paper proposes and evaluates different channel allocation techniques in an adaptive packet-switched mobile radio network. The common criteria used for all the techniques under consideration is to assign incoming calls the available channel that experienced the best channel quality in previous transmissions. The difference between the proposed algorithms is the metric used to evaluate the channel quality. In particular three metrics are considered: BER, BLER and mean CIR. The results obtained highlight considerable performance improvements compared to other traditional techniques, such as random channel allocation.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"29 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":"122373110","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}

It is based on the latest developments in advanced receiver design. In the most advantageous interference conditions, SAIC can improve the signal-to-noise ratio over 10 dB. In this paper, we report on a study of the effect of SAIC on the capacity of a typical GSM network in terms of GPRS data throughput. Our results verify that SAIC provides a significant increase in network capacity not only for speech traffic but also for GPRS data traffic. Since current SAIC receiver algorithms are generally optimized for GMSK modulated signals, we were also interested in the proportion of GMSK and 8-PSK signals in a typical GSM network with EDGE data traffic. We found that in the case of a typical distribution of speech, GPRS and EGPRS traffic, the proportion of 8-PSK signals is relatively small. We can therefore expect that EDGE will not significantly diminish the effectiveness of SAIC in GSM networks.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"69 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":"122713758","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 of these management services is location management, crucial for the network to keep track of the location of its subscribers and to connect their incoming calls. Location management consists of the two activities, paging and location updating, both of which are structured around a subdivision of the network service area called the location area (LA). The ways in which the service area is partitioned therefore has a direct impact on the amount of radio bandwidth that has to be spent on location management. However, paging and location updating share an antagonistic relationship, and finding the optimal LA partitioning that strikes a balance between the two is a challenging design problem. In this paper, the problem of finding the optimal LA partitioning of a cellular radio network service area in order to minimise the total location management signalling cost is addressed. The choice of the decision variables used in the mathematical programming model results in an objective function that is conceptually easy to understand and a solution method that is simple and straightforward.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"55 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":"122049002","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 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 for prediction of the small-scale fading characteristics.","PeriodicalId":122977,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium onWireless Communication Systems, 2004.","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126198327","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}
