Today almost all popular wireless LAN applications such as Web access, E-mail processing, telnet, FTP, and database access are using a client-server architecture. However, the number of supported mobile nodes depends on the type of application the user employs. Thus, evaluation of the number of voice users supported by a wireless LAN access point is beginning to attract the attention of those involved in deployment of wireless LAN. Currently, most commercial wireless data networks are arbitrarily installed. The only optimization, if any, is that for the area covered by an access point. However the coverage aspect of the network design is only suitable for the initial installation phases wherein the capacity of users and the channel utilization is low. We investigate QoS parameters necessary to support voice and the implications these parameters have on WLAN design.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Each stage of the algorithm is based on the robust conventional beamformer. The algorithm makes no assumptions about signal correlation, hence does not require any computationally expensive eigendecomposition or spatial smoothing in coherent multipath scenarios.

A cascaded connection of a pair of single-constrained array processors and branch-metric-combining maximum-likelihood sequence-estimation (BMC-MLSE) equalizer is implemented for the ST equalizer. The pair of array processors maximizes the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) on both the direct and one-symbol-delayed path components and the BMC-MLSE equalizer then derives a path diversity gain from the SINR-improved path components. The radio frequency was 3.35 GHz, modulation was QPSK and the transmission rate was 4.096 Mb/s. The bit error rate (BER) performances of the ST equalizer and array processor alone were simultaneously measured in real time, along with delay profiles. The results show that the ST equalizer provide better than 10 dB of E/sub b//N/sub 0/ improvement at BER=10/sup -3/ as compared with the array processor alone in a field where the instantaneous delay spread spans less than 1 /spl mu/sec. A delayed diversity transmission (DDT) using two transmitting antennas at a mobile was also tried for the ST equalizer. 0.5-symbol DDT provided more than 1 dB E/sub b//N/sub 0/ improvement at BER=10/sup -3/ in a field where average delay spread is 0.2 /spl mu/sec.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The analysis is extended to constant power adaptive QAM (AQAM) expressing the average BER and the average throughput as a closed form function of the modulation mode switching levels. Then, the switching levels are optimised so that the average throughput is maximised, while maintaining a given target BER. This results in a constant-BER, variable-throughput arrangement. The results show that our constant-power AQAM scheme exhibits an SNR gain of about 5dB in comparison to fixed-mode QAM, when operating over a wireless asynchronous transfer mode (W-ATM) channel employing one antenna. However, the achievable throughput gain of the system over conventional fixed-mode modems is substantially reduced, as the diversity order of the receiver is increased.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Another one-shot LDD with low complexity was proposed. To improve its performance, this detector uses maximal ratio combining (MRC) at the two outputs of the left piece of the present bit and the right piece of the next bit in a one-shot window. In spite of the aid from MRC, the performance of the one-shot LDD with post-MRC is worse than the one-shot LDD. To overcome this problem, we propose a one-shot LDD with pre-SDC/post-MRC that employs selection diversity combining (SDC) with multiple antenna elements in front of the one-shot LDD with post-MRC. In asynchronous random CDMA systems over fading channels, the largest SNR of SDC, near-far resistance (NFR) of the one-shot LDD, and the output SNR of MRC are random variables. We derive the probability density functions (PDFs) for these random variables and calculate the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed detector using the obtained PDFs. In comparison of mathematical analysis and computer simulation results, we observe good agreement.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference. VTC Fall 2001.

However, in such networks, the mobile may traverse several cells during the communication. Thus, if the newly visited cell does not have enough radio resources then some data may be lost or in a worst case the connection can be dropped. Since handovers are obviously critical moments then researchers have mainly investigated the bandwidth allocation problem on the radio interface and ignored the impact of mobility effects on the fixed part of the network. In this study we present a new rerouting algorithm for WATM networks called RA-NRTT, which aims to reroute non real time traffic data in the wired part of the mobile network while avoiding loops. Performance evaluation of this algorithm has been done while considering two buffer sharing strategies: complete sharing (CS) and complete partitioning (CP), and two scheduling policies; first in first out (FIFO) and weighted round robin (WRR).","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

In time slotted CDMA, the block-type MUD involves the inversion of a large matrix that depends on the block size and on the number of users. Sub-optimal techniques are computationally efficient but show some performance degradation. The reduced complexity detectors can be either block-type or one-shot. Compared to one-shot approximation of MUD, the block-type detectors have less computational complexity and large latency. However, the tracking of channel variations within the block is not feasible with any block-type processing (e.g., for the adaptive receiver). These compelling aspects force us to use a one-shot MUD algorithm for space-time channels such as the sliding window decorrelator (SWD). Block-based MUD and SWD algorithms for TDD-UTRA systems are compared in terms of performance, computational complexity, parallelism and hardware implementation.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.
