A method to optimize the capacity available to high-speed data is to consider placing dual mode circuit-switched calls on an alternate cellular network (ie, 2G or 3G). For a mature UMTS network with high data demand, more capacity becomes available for 3G packet (and high-rate circuit) data, if dual mode 3G speech is preferably placed on the GSM network Our integrated network solution shows that 2G telephones may be serviced fairly, by overflowing calls between the 2G and 3G networks, if the 2G network is at capacity.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

This paper discusses a new dimension in DS-CDMA channel estimation, i.e., chip-level adaptive channel estimation. A novel despreader-respreader based channel estimator (DRCE) is proposed to obtain uplink (UL) channel estimates at chip-level which resolves the deficiencies of conventional methods that work at symbol level. The DRCE employs an adaptive filter whose weights are adapted by using an LMS algorithm. The performance of the RAKE receiver with DRCE for an IMT-DS system is evaluated in terms of BER by simulations for pedestrian and vehicular channels.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

This frequency domain canceller acts on the spread signal in such a way that minimizes the interference and noise at its output (minimum mean squared error criterium). The performance is evaluated in two detector configurations: one including the frequency shift canceller (FSC) and the other plus a parallel interference canceller (PIC). The results are benchmarked against the performance of the conventional RAKE detector and the conventional PIC detector.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

For instance in GSM, 17.93% of bandwidth is dedicated to the transmission of such a known sequence. Therefore, if a blind algorithm, using only the knowledge of input constellation and/or correlation, can achieve an acceptable performance, it will save bandwidth considerably. If the receiver does not have this information, blind adaptation would not be feasible with reasonable complexity. We present a robust blind adaptation structure for TDMA-based communication systems. Also, we include implementation issues such as differential coding and oversampling in our system modeling.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

One approach to overcoming this so-called signal blockage problem is to employ diversity reception. Two approaches to diversity reception, one temporal and one spatial, are considered in this work. The performance of the schemes are characterized analytically in terms of outage probability reduction and resource efficiency gains. Moreover, the effects of correlation among the diversity channels are also quantified. Analysis results indicate that only a few uncorrelated diversity channels are required to achieve significant improvements. When the diversity channels are correlated, more channels are necessary to achieve similar gains.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference. VTC Fall 2001.

Punctured convolutional codes are selected as component codes according to the capacity rule. The performances of different hard and soft concatenation schemes are analyzed and performance comparisons are made for three mapping strategies, named Ungerboeck partitioning (UP), block partitioning (BP) and mixed partitioning (MP).
