In addition to specifying the average waiting times, they provide a closed-form solution for the queuing system delay. Thus, higher order moments and probability mass function of delay can be obtained and used to evaluate the performance for delay constrained traffic. The derivation for the moment generating function of the time a customer spends in the system is presented. The results are briefly discussed. Although only the moment generating functions for class-1 and class-2 customers have been derived, the procedures developed can be used to extend the results to additional priority classes and can also be applied to preemptive priority queuing systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133278912","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}

These directions fit within three themes: improved network operations, increased bandwidth, and service flexibility. It is projected that network operations efficiency will improve, especially in the area of ISDN (integrated services digital network) OAM&P (operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning). Bandwidth capabilities in switching and transmission will expand through MANs (metropolitan area networks), BISDN (broadband ISDN) and 1.5 Mb/s switched services. Flexibility will increase for service customization and vendor selection. The intelligent network will restructure the positioning of service control to permit more rapid feature introduction. In a cooperative effort, vendors and network providers will form industry standards that will provide the directions for this evolution.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132034004","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 noted that CASE tools do not yet scale up to the requirements imposed by very large systems. Current automation technologies are limited and overemphasis on automation can decrease productivity. Incremental approaches to using CASE tools are appropriate given their current capabilities and the scale of problem being addressed. It is concluded that CASE technology can help people communicate more clearly during front-end analysis of requirements and design. Understanding technology transfer is essential to achieving benefits from CASE.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123087795","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 short ECLs, however, the ECL and the minimum PD (product distance) are used as the design criteria to obtain better codes than corresponding Ungerboeck codes. By using a simulation method, it is shown that the code performance is extremely sensitive to interleaving depths and that the penalty due to nonideal interleaving is high. The results also indicate much less sensitivity of trellis codes to decoding decision depths on fading channels than on Gaussian channels, allowing higher interleaving degrees on delay-constrained communication systems. Error performance bounds are derived for MPSK trellis codes over Gaussian and fading channels in the presence of phase noise. Coherent demodulation combined with the transparent tone in band technique (TTIB) for phase recovery is evaluated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129018732","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}

A further modification, which combines the beneficial properties of unmodified and scheduled D-Net, results in an even more efficient mixed D-Net protocol. The authors outline, approximately model, and analyze scheduled and mixed D-Net protocols, and demonstrate quantitatively how these protocols outperforms unmodified D-Net. For this comparison, the protocols' delay-throughput characteristics are sued as the performance metric.

The authors analyze the process in detail considering only the first quincunx field of the four subsampled fields (the two-dimensional model). First, the two-dimensional shuffling operation is formulated in an appropriate signal theory framework. An equivalent model for shuffling is then derived: it consists of two vertical filters and one horizontal modulator, which is useful for shuffling frequency-domain analysis. As an example of shuffling theory application, spectral analysis of the shuffling error in MAC compatible systems is carried out.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128821241","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 guidelines address the need to support extra-application communication, such as annotation; the need to encourage application-relative references; the need to avoid autonomous output from the virtual terminal; and the need to maintain the state of the shared windows.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128758023","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}
