Each architecture is analyzed on its technical and economic ability to evolve to potential future service offerings. The bus architecture does not appear to hold much promise as a viable solution for the distribution of future broadband service needs. Current analysis favors the placement of a star or logical bus in the distribution plant and the design of a pedestal which is capable of future service evolution. It is noted that the movement of fiber into the subscriber drop will ultimately hinge on the demand for broadband services.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"29 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":"115030451","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}

SYNBIP can supplant traditional hardware-based solutions that are limited in scope and flexibility by using a software-based architecture that does not impede the realization of new network capabilities. By acting as a generic communications platform, it can be incorporated into a wide range of network equipment to address emerging market opportunities.

The use of the millimeter-wave spectrum above 30 GHz for telecommunications offers considerable bandwidth for broadband services, but power limitations and rain attenuation constrain its prospects to small 'cell' or short-hop systems. Nevertheless, given suitable low-cost 'consumer' technology, there is considerable attraction for local access and interconnect services where short frequency reuse distances give high spectrum utilization. For situations in which cable TV is too expensive to install and satellite TV dishes are too obtrusive, use of millimeter waves for 'radio cable' TV distribution is one potential application. Such a system is being developed by British Telecom (UK), and a demonstrator is now in operation in Saxmundham, a small town in the UK. Earlier this year, the UK spectrum regulatory authority announced the allocation of the band 40.5-42.5 for this service.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"11 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":"117044435","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}

Propagation is divided into two parts: dispersive fading (DF, IBAD>1 dB) and wideband flat fading (FF, IBAD<1 dB), which are disjoint in time. The DF-part is modeled with the joint distribution of a four-parameter two-part channel representation with a constant delay, and the FF-part which includes signal enhancement is modeled with the fade depth distribution. Results for several measurement bandwidths up to 40 MHz clearly show that the DF-model depends on bandwidth while the FF-model depends only moderately on bandwidth. A new outage prediction method based on the actual channel models shows FF-outage to be insignificant. However, DF-outage depends strongly on the flat fade margin. A comparison with the conventional outage prediction method shows that, although quite different results are indicated for the DF- and FF-outage contributions, there is a rather good agreement between total outage predictions.<<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":"129093708","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 VSP has introduced flexible software control capability in conventional TV signal processing. In order to expand such flexibility for HDTV signals, the developed HD-VSP employs a signal conversion technique. The HDTV sampling rate is reduced to that of plural conventional TV signals, each of which can be processed by VSP parallel multiprocessor clusters. Therefore, programs developed for conventional TV signals on the VSP are also applied to HDTV signals by the new system. Several coder programs, including a discrete cosine transform coder and an intraframe differential PCM (pulse code modulation) coder, are developed to evaluate real-time HDTV coding efficiency.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"71 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":"121463983","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}
