It can be utilized in conjunction with the concept of ray launching. Similar to the Kirchhoff formulations, the approach is based on a tangential plane approximation, i.e. it is applicable to surfaces with gentle undulations, whose horizontal dimensions are large compared to the incident wavelength. However, in contrast to the Kirchhoff models, which are only valid for either slightly rough or very rough surfaces, the proposed stochastic scattering approach includes both the coherent and incoherent components at the same time. The purely deterministic ray-based modelling is expanded by a \"stochastic\" component, allowing for the first time to account for non-deterministic scattering in ray-optical wave propagation modelling.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

In this paper, we propose a persistently stable, efficient hexanary-feedback-based contention access (HFCA) scheme, aiming to provide QoS guarantee while retaining stable and maximal network throughput. Unlike existing schemes that consider all contending mobile terminals as a whole, HFCA incrementally resolves a small group of terminals each time via a two-phase selection/resolution process. The incremental resolution repeats until the minimum non-blocking probability (QoS for signaling traffic) is satisfied. To accelerate resolution within the process, the number of simultaneously transmitting terminals is estimated based on an envelope-pdf-based estimator (EPER), by matching the corresponding normalized envelope histogram of the receiving signal with the priori envelope-pdf library. Facilitated with incremental resolution and the EPER, HFCA achieves the highest maximum throughput (0.574) and saturated throughput (0.52) reported to date irrespective of traffic increase and variation.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

However, its complexity and decoding latency are severe drawbacks. Turbo code has been adopted in the 3GPP specification as one of the channel coding schemes. To implement a turbo decoder compliant with the 3GPP specification, the author adopted the sliding window method and devised a way to simplify the E-function of the MAP algorithm. This paper covers the optimum sliding window size and piecewise-linear E-function. In addition, implementing a scheme using the sliding window algorithm is covered. This focuses on implementing an interleaver and deinterleaver. The turbo decoder described is designed according to the 3GPP specification, and every simulation was done under AWGN.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

In addition, a higher throughput can be achieved compared to fixed (non-adaptive) systems. Unlike other adaptive transmission systems, in our work the adaptation is based on the Rice factor.

Non- line-of-sight (NLOS) measurements in a corridor environment on a single floor and measurements between floors were performed. Joint determination of direction of arrival and distance was obtained by means of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the radio channel. The main pathways between the transmitter and receiver were identified from the point source estimates and reconstructed in structural drawings of the building. From the results it can be concluded that both geometrical optics (GO) and diffraction (scattering) are important propagation mechanisms in NLOS indoor scenarios. The cross-floor results show a strong attenuation of the direct wave (25 dB per floor). The total path loss is, however, reduced due to reflection paths from an adjacent building.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference. VTC Fall 2001.
