It is assumed that the source encoder is channel-agnostic, i.e., that a vector quantization (VQ) based compression designed for a noiseless channel is employed. The index output by the source encoder is sent over a noisy memoryless discrete symmetric channel, and the possibly incorrect received index is decoded by the corresponding VQ decoder. The output of the VQ decoder is processed by a receive filter to obtain an estimate of the source instantiation. In the sequel, the optimum linear receive filter structure to minimize the overall MSE is derived, and shown to have a minimum-mean squared error receiver type structure. Further, expressions are derived for the resulting high-rate MSE performance. The performance is compared with the MSE obtained using conventional VQ as well as the channel optimized VQ. The accuracy of the expressions is demonstrated through Monte Carlo simulations.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123347882","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}

However, power gain of the TQAM is limited on account of the constraint that signal points are regularly distributed at the vertexes of contiguous equilateral triangles. In this paper, we investigate a modified signal constellation of the TQAM where signal points are irregularly distributed while preserving triangular structure, and calculate achievable power gain of the proposed scheme. We also address optimum and suboptimum bit stream mapping methods and suggest a simple and optimum detection method for the constellation to be meaningful in practical implementation. Analysis and simulation show that the proposed constellation provides power gains of 0.62 dB and 0.20 dB over the SQAM and the TQAM at a target symbol error rate of 10-6 for 64-ary case.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120946919","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}

Two types of two-phased transmission/reception protocols are employed to establish orthogonal transmission/reception of the relay node. The achievable rate results are provided for different combinations of modulation orders and the number of antennas used at the source and relay nodes. Quantitative results provided in this paper could serve as a guide on when to engage cooperative transmission and how to choose proper constellations and puncturing ratios for the practical BICM coded systems. Comparison of the considered BICM system with other possible cooperative coded systems is also crucial that this paper due to lack of space for exposition misses to address.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121530159","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}

For a given set of voice users with minimum quality of service requirements and a set of best effort users we find the optimum allocation that guarantees service for the voice users and maximizes the sum utility of the best effort users. Our model applies for arbitrary heterogeneous scenarios where the air-interfaces belong to the class of interference limited systems like UMTS or to a class with orthogonal resource assignment such as TDMA based GSM or WLAN. We achieve convexity of the problem by a transformation into the domain of mean square errors. Using a dual problem formulation we derive straight forward assignment rules and develop a decentralized algorithm, which solves the optimization problem. Simulation results for a heterogeneous UMTS/GSM scenario show high performance gains of the proposed algorithm compared to a Load Balancing strategy.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114846649","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 Frobenius and spectral norms are of great importance when describing the achievable capacity of many wireless communication systems; in particularly, they correspond to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of space-time block coded and maximum ratio combining transmissions, respectively. Herein, a general quantization framework is presented, where the quantization levels are determined to maximize the feedback entropy. Quantization based on the post-user-selection distribution is discussed, and analyzed for a specific scheduler. Finally, exact results on MMSE estimation of the capacity and the SNR, conditioned on a quantized channel norm, are presented.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124321547","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}

Furthermore, the optimum traffic load is a function of the consumption characteristics of the node and it does not guarantee maximum system throughput.

If each node transmits with probability p in each slot and the number of slots is sufficiently large, a non-colliding first message occurs with probability Phi = 1-np/2 for large n and small np. If the number of slots is limited, the probability Phi is lower but can be maximized choosing an optimal p. To maximize Phi further, nodes can apply a slot-dependent transmit probability pi with i = 1, ..., s. It is shown that a ldquoslow start strategy,rdquo in which pi is low for low i and increases with increasing i, is beneficial. Our main contribution is an equation for the pi values that maximize Phi. We analyze how a higher probability of a non-colliding first message comes at the price of an increased delay of such a message. Besides being of interest for the theory of random access, the results are practically applicable to node selection protocols, such as relay selection in cooperative wireless networks.","PeriodicalId":125554,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048267","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}
