Various coding schemes for error protection are investigated. Code options are Reed Solomon code with interleaving, array code and trellis coding, or interleaved trellis coding. The simulation results are based on real measured impulses from an impulse-noise measurement campaign carried out by German Telekom. The inter-arrival times between impulses were either assumed to be constant (worst-case scenario) or were delivered from a distinctive stochastic generator with an inter-arrival time density according to a model also derived in the German campaign. It was found that the RS codes, even with a quite small error-correcting capability, achieved acceptable error performance. Array codes can also be a low-complexity alternative. Trellis coding alone, as expected, was not very effective against the impulse noise.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116023852","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}

Based on these requirements, we compare some implementations, namely, VINCE, Q.port and XUNET, and conclude that none of these implementations provide a complete separation of the switching hardware and the signalling software. We select VINCE as our platform, since it is highly modular in design, scalable in architecture, compliant with the standards, and allows interworking of IP traffic. To separate the call processing from the switching hardware, we modify the VINCE implementation and define a switch controller-switch manager (SCSM) architecture, which makes it portable across different switching hardware platforms. This allows flexible configuration of call processing, facilitates easy upgrading of the call processing hardware, and service integration. Our implementation of SCSM in a local ATM network indicates that the SCSM partitioning overhead is negligible. We discuss efficient SCSM implementation issues such as event handling, OS, layer management, buffer management, and integration of network management with signaling.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116049846","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}

Quality degradation can be minimized if a mobile can always be handed over to the base station which would provide highest quality during the next measurement cycle. For this purpose, a good prediction algorithm is needed to predict the condition of the signals received from various base stations during the next measurement cycle. One of the major objectives of this paper is to discuss whether a considerable quality improvement can be obtained using prediction. A lower-bound for the drop-out performance is obtained using a hypothetical scheme which assumes the best possible prediction. The performance of several prediction algorithms are considered under various shadowing conditions. It is found that the performance of prediction schemes greatly depends on the speed of the mobile and the shadowing correlation environment.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116404627","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}

To increase maintainability, hardware failure detection/indication methods, a layered management scheme upon detection of a line failure, and automatic line switching to a stand-by system are proposed.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123447464","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}

By measurement, and compared to theory, adequate performance levels were readily obtained in terms of e.g. long-term CLR (cell loss ratio). The long-term CLR does not however provide enough information about the temporal distribution of the cell loss process. In view of this fact we conclude that short-term CLR for a cell loss burst better signifies the deterioration of a service. In these measurements the short-term CLR was high, 4 to 10%, and with a constant average level regardless of network load level. The acceptable cell loss level is determined only by how users perceive the quality of service. By both objective analysis and subjective assessment the relationship between network performance and quality of service is investigated for a high quality video/audio codec implementation.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123642010","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}

An MPEG-like coding method with the DCT or lapped orthorgonal transform (LOT) is applied to the lowest subband. A motion-compensated PCM scheme and an efficient but low complexity VWL coding are applied to the medium and full resolutions. The performance of DCT and LOT in these applications is compared.

Among them, collision resolution based RRA protocols decouple the speech access procedure from the data access procedure. It is well known that capture improves the performance of random access algorithms. However, due to the decoupling and the limited delay requirements, capture could have negative effects on the performance. It has been shown that reservation protocols do not operate correctly in the presence of co-channel interference. Centralised management techniques, based on retransmissions, represent a suitable method for handling channel errors in microcellular radio networks, characterised by a negligible propagation delay. We present analytical results of performance evaluations for decoupling RRA protocols in a wireless network with capture and errors.

We evaluate the performance of rate-based congestion control schemes when not only ABR traffic but also VBR traffic is incorporated into the ATM network.

Three types of traffic sources an assumed in the multiplexer, namely the constant bit rate (CBR), variable bit rate (VBR), and best-effort traffic. For VBR and CBR sources, a statistical bandwidth requirement should be claimed before they are multiplexed in the ATM outgoing link. The proposed algorithm dynamically schedules the traffic and preserves the claimed throughput in the outgoing link for each CBR or VBR source. When there is no cell arrival at the VBR or CBR sources, the proposed algorithm assigns the bandwidth to the best-effort sources. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated via simulation. The result shows that the proposed method has better performance over other static multiplexing schemes such as the weighted round-robin method.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124863382","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}
