The direct approach utilizes connectionless servers, attached to or incorporated in a subset of the ATM switches, to provide a packet switching service. The number of connectionless servers and ATM connections utilized by the direct approach is found analytically and compared to alternative approaches. Furthermore, the effects of two architectural options that significantly impact the performance of connectionless servers, the packet forwarding scheme (packet-based and cell-based) and the flow control scheme (static rate control and a dynamic proportional rate control) are also evaluated.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"61 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":"129665732","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}

The model uses state transitions to estimate calling patterns and usage of services. In addition, methods of mapping state transitions to physical movements are presented. We examine a number of dynamic phenomena observed in pedestrian traffic, including platooning effects, the relationship between speed and density, and the effect of traffic lights on pedestrian flow distribution. Finally, the results of a simulation study are presented, and the model's application to the prediction of distribution of both inbuilding and outdoor offered calling traffic is demonstrated. We illustrate the resulting observed signaling traffic by taking the interface points of the IS-136a standard as an example.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"12 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":"127377067","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}

Such systems consist of microcells embedded within macrocells. The microcells cover the slow-moving mobiles and the macrocells the rest. The selection of a cell to serve a call must now be based not only on the received signal strength, but also on the speed of the mobile. A simple procedure for cell selection had been proposed, which prevents the microcellular system from carrying the full call traffic load it is capable of. We calculate this capacity loss and find it to be 43 per cent for pedestrian-held mobiles moving at an average speed of 5 km/hr inside a 600-meter microcell. The capacity loss is higher for faster moving mobiles. We propose an alternative procedure for cell selection, which preserves the simplicity of the original procedure but causes lower capacity losses. The case of a mobile changing speed is also addressed.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"34 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":"129023793","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}

Customers expect and demand high quality and economic service under almost any condition, including network overloads, outages or disasters. Therefore, significant or sustained service degradation can result in lost business and reputation. With that in mind, it is important to understand that traffic management for emerging technologies, architectures and services, including common channel signaling, AIN, wireless, ISDN packet, fast packet, ATM and video, will be especially difficult. The popular support for some common teletraffic \"myths\", combined with very high growth and complex demand patterns, contribute to the problem.

This system configuration is often found in telecommunications. The predistorter technique is useful since the compensation of the nonlinearity of high-power amplifiers allows the efficient use of the power resource and bandwidth, while maintaining the prescribed signal spectral distribution. We use either a modified indirect learning architecture or a stochastic gradient method for training the predistorters. As a predistorter structure, we use a Volterra series model or a time-delayed neural network. We apply our approach to the compensation of various nonlinear systems including TWT-type nonlinearities. The results show that our approach is very effective in compensating the memory-less nonlinearity preceded by a linear system with memory.

These systems offer higher channel speeds than existing cellular systems, and should support data transmission as well as voice. This paper proposes a new packet channel provisioning method for sharing TDMA radio channels with circuit-switched calls for dynamic channel assignment systems. The method is characterized by a two step random-access mechanism; the first step is carrier sensing to obtain an available TDMA channel for packet transmission. The next step is the application of a reservation-grant based random-access protocol for multiplexing terminals on the packet channel. The characteristics of this protocol are evaluated using a computer simulation based on a 4-channel TDMA/TDD. The results clarify the advantage of the method in terms of channel efficiency.","PeriodicalId":152724,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM '95","volume":"80 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":"127881040","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}
