In particular, they discuss the SONET (synchronous optical network) overhead required to support transmission error performance monitoring functions across the UNI. It was proposed that B3 and G1 bytes of the SONET path overhead be used for transmission performance monitoring across the UNI. This proposal was accepted by Standards Committee T1-Telecommunications (T1S1.1). With this minimal set of performance monitoring functions across the UNI, the network can still maintain reliable service to the user without causing undue complexity and additional cost in the user equipment.<<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":"131100809","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 local loops in this study serve subscribers in a newly developed subdivision. The loop facility to accomplish this consists of two components. The first is a digital multiplexed cable carrier system from the central office to various radio ports strategically located in the service area. The second consists of low-powered, digital, multiple-access radio links which connect subscribers to the radio ports. The radio loop facility was configured to provide service only to subscribers within the boundaries of the subdivision. The results of the economic study showed that radio technology has the potential of being a viable alternative to a conventional metallic cable facility. The degree of attractiveness depends upon the system design (number of radio ports required).<<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":"132938002","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 codec and transmission link are picture format independent, and ATV signals, with all existing as well as anticipated formats, can be transported. Before transmission, the digitized signal was organized into four 155-Mb/s channels to which the SONET (synchronous optical network) framer functions as well as audio and other data were added. These channels were byte interleaved together to form a serial 622-Mb/s SONET-like data stream. This data stream was sent over 42 km of single-mode optical fiber using a low-cost optical transmitter and receiver developed for subscriber loop applications. An error rate of under 10/sup -11/ was achieved at this distance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"49 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":"133592172","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 head station on the bus learns the number of ready-to-transmit voice stations by reading a request bit in the header of the received packets and allocates the exact number of voice slots needed in each frame. The protocol guarantees that the delay of a voice packet will not exceed two times the frame duration plus the round-trip signal propagation delay at the head station. The average data packet delay is evaluated using simulation and an approximate analysis method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"13 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":"133927312","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 real network example is analyzed in the context of VSAT technology alternatives. The economic performance of VSATs is found to depend on the user's network specification and the technology. Per-point costs of Ku-band VSATs, for example, improve with larger networks. Spread-spectrum or LSAT costs improve with lower data rates. Terrestrial costs improve with more secondary stations per line. Technology is therefore matched with economy by virtue of specifics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"114 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":"134340867","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}

Its performance is optimized based on simulated annealing. The solution space is assumed to be the set of all admissible service rates of all stations with the nonlinear cost constraint. The optimum total throughput of the network is determined for different chain packets. It is shown that the most desirable method against congestion in any region is to speed up the transmission rate of that channel, but since this costs too much, alternative methods should be considered which reduce the window size within the tolerable limit of throughputs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"45 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114038955","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 modem transmits a rate-3/4 convolutionally encoded 16-phase-shift keyed signal over a channel with additive white Gaussian noise. The carrier synchronization circuit is data aided, employing decision feedback. Two estimates of carrier phase of the received coded signal are used in the synchronization circuit. The results of computer-simulation tests are used to compare the performances of the system using two phase estimators. It is shown that the carrier-phase estimate of the received coded signal can be improved significantly by combining the phase estimation process with the decoding of the signal. With the second phase estimator which makes use of a maximum likelihood decoder, half of the 16 possible locking positions are eliminated.<<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":"115660074","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}

In order to reduce the size, weight, and power consumption of the SSC and to increase its reliability, a latchup-free high-density (64-kb) memory, a microprocessor, and two types of CMOS/bulk LSIs (8 K gate each) have been developed. Moreover, to realize immunity from cosmic ray-induced soft-error, a modular redundant with adaptive error correction scheme is adopted. As a result, the developed onboard SSC is free from soft-error, and the SSC's survival probability is estimated to be as high as 0.99 for a ten-year mission. The weight and power consumption have been reduced to one fourth and one tenth of those of a conventional system, respectively.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":126008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, Including Supercomm Technical Sessions","volume":"22 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":"114160311","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}
