A pre-equalization technique is proposed for the downlink channel of UMTS TDD, which allows the use of simpler receiver schemes in the mobile unit. After the mathematical background, simulation results obtained in typical scenarios, using statistical channel models, are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method. Several levels of correlation between the propagation channels that can be considered to exist between the different base station antenna array elements and the desired mobile unit were considered. The results have shown that that significant performance gains can be achieved in high multiple access interference (MAI) environments.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

For an operator, it is essential to utilise all possible resources to improve the capacity and quality of service of the radio network. To guarantee the optimum performance, the operator must have means to visualise the offered services and their quality in the radio network-planning phase. The proposed static prediction method is compared with dynamic analysis results. Based on this comparison it is demonstrated that the static prediction method is accurate enough for the radio network planning process. Example results of active set size, dominance and transmit power distributions from both simulators are presented.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Groupwise power disparity is applied in order to enhance the BER performance. We compare the BER performance, complexity and delay of the proposed 2-stage GSIC scheme with those of both conventional detection scheme and SIC scheme. Analysis results show that the capacity increase obtained by both 2-stage GSIC scheme and SIC scheme is smaller in a multicell model than in a single cell model. BER performance enhancement by the proposed 2-stage GSIC scheme is appropriate regarding the minimal increase in cancellation delay and computational complexity. For example, in a multicell DS/CDMA system, the proposed 2-stage GSIC scheme can enhance the user capacity about 21% at BER=10/sup -2/ with twice the cancellation delay and complexity compared with the conventional detection scheme, while the pure SIC scheme can enhance the user capacity 33% with K and K/sup 2/ times increase in delay and complexity, respectively, where K is the number of concurrent users.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

In the hybrid type I ARQ scheme, the same redundancy bits for error correction is transmitted repeatedly when a negative acknowledgment (NAK) is obtained. In addition to the ARQ scheme, the power ramping is considered for more reliable downlink data transmission, in which the transmission power is gradually changed from a small level to large levels when the number of retransmission increases. This is done without any knowledge of the channels at the transmitter. Simulation results show that by applying the combined hybrid ARQ and power ramping scheme with properly selected parameters, it has a throughput advantage of 3-5%.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

To this end, a quantitative analysis by computer simulation of different handover algorithms for mobile satellite diversity based systems is presented. The statistical but predefined nature of the constellation dynamics as well as the influence of the propagation channel in the handover mechanism enables the assessment of different levels of power and time hysteresis for different satellites within the network. Based on the above, two handover algorithms are proposed for different modes of handover operation and compared with existing handover schemes by means of case studies in suburban environments for a LEO and a MEO satellite constellation.
