We address the algorithm that determines space combining weight vector maximizing received signal power at the mobile on a frequency flat fading channel and investigate the performance degradation by the feedback channel delay in the FDD/CDMA systems employing transmit beamforming. We observe the effect of feedback channel delay corresponding to the number of transmit antennas and the temporal/spatial correlation of channel. The results show that performance is more sensitive to feedback delay with the larger number of antennas when fading at the transmit antennas are not spatially correlated.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.

They are used to track location of idle personal area network users (PANU) in power and radio resource save manner. The connectionless broadcast channel is separated into beacon window and broadcast window. During the beacon window, NAP spreads an extended ID packet that includes BD ADDR and clock offset to synchronize all PANU in its radio range. The Extended ID packet is the standard ID packet with extra information field at the end. Then, any user-defined information is released in the broadcast window from NAP to PANU without connection establishment between NAP and PANU. The NAP segment is a set of geography neighbor NAP. When an idle PANU moves within a NAP segment, no handover is needed even when the current connection breaks. When an idle PANU moves across the NAP segment, handover must be performed to register the PANU's location. We present an analysis of PANU mobility with and without the NAP segment to show that the NAP segment can save the radio resources of the NAP and power consumption of the PANU.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.

Our approach is empirical in the following sense: rather than postulate a priori number of states or probability laws for the instantaneous received power, we try to estimate these laws by processing available experimental signals from the considered channel. The method, used on transmissions in the L-band, is general as it can be applied to various types of signals with a Markovian underlying variability.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.

First, blind channel estimation is accomplished by incorporating a list parallel Viterbi algorithm with the least mean square (LMS) updating approach. In this operation, multiple trellis mappings are preserved and ranked in terms of path metrics. Equivalently, multiple channel estimates are maintained and updated once a single symbol is received. Second, at a certain point, which is determined by the evolution of path metrics and the linear constraint possessed in the trellis mapping, only the best channel estimate is maintained. Third, this channel estimate is adopted to construct the whole trellis that is used by a conventional adaptive Viterbi algorithm. Signal detection and further channel updating are then conducted alternatively. To alleviate the noise impact, a small delay is introduced before the feedback of detected symbols to further update the channel estimate. Simulation has shown the overall good performance of the proposed scheme in terms of mean square error (MSE) convergence of the channel estimation, stability to the initial channel guess, and computational complexity etc.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.

In this paper, we introduce a new receiver concept using MMSE channel equalization as a first stage and MMSE decision-feedback equalization (DFE) utilizing soft feedback from the decoding unit as a second stage. Both schemes are compared for the downlink of CDMA. It turns out, that after channel decoding we gain about 1 dB compared to conventional MMSE channel equalization.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.

We compute analytically the ideal maximum return capacity of the system which is shown not to be fixed but limited by a hyperplane in the space of the considered quality of service (QoS), so that different resource assignment criteria can be applied. At maximum ideal capacity, for the different percentages of users that can be served, it is shown that the more restraining the QoS, the more resources that must be assigned. We then explore the appropriate efficiency of the system, i.e. the actual used resources as a function of the distribution of QoS. We finally look into the inter-beam effect by applying different degrees of diversity gains and we show the trade-off between improving the capacity efficiency which is poor due to power control error and the net capacity achieved by the overall system.","PeriodicalId":159750,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference.
