Beyond 3G accommodates radio systems including 3G, 4G and wireless LANs, and operates all-IP networks. Ethernet technology has become a suitable solution to cover all access points of various radio systems because of its simplicity and flexibility. A MAN by Ethernet, however, still has issues of scalability. The spanning tree protocol requires so much time to rebuild the tree in a change of topology, especially in a large MAN, and eventually causes much packet loss, which is intolerable to real time applications, such as voice and video, during reconfiguration. We propose a scalable spanning tree protocol (SSTP) to realize fast rebuilding of a spanning tree by applying a concept of regions and configure its parameters automatically. Our evaluation shows that SSTP is a solution for future mobile communication networks consisting of thousands of bridges.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

Recently, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted much attention as good error correcting codes achieving the near Shannon limit. Concatenation schemes of LDPC codes and STBC (LDPC-STBC), and turbo codes and STBC (turbo-STBC) have been proposed. The performance of the LDPC-STBC is better than that of the turbo-STBC on a flat Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of LDPC code can be analyzed by density evolution (DE). In this paper we analyze the performance of the LDPC-STBC by using DE. Also, we optimize the irregular LDPC codes for the LDPC-STBC by using DE. Furthermore, we evaluate the error rate performance of the optimized irregular LDPC codes and the regular LDPC codes for the LDPC-STBC. From the numerical and simulation results, we show that the LDPC-STBC with the irregular LDPC codes achieves better error rate performance than the LDPC-STBC with the regular LDPC codes.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

These gains are realizable through the use of transmit beamforming and receive combining. Transmit beamforming relies on the assumption of channel knowledge at the transmitter, an assumption that is often unrealistic. Limited feedback beamformers have been designed over the past few years, but they concentrate primarily on the assumption of a spatially uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channel matrix. The paper addresses the design of limited feedback beamformers for transmit and receive correlated MIMO channels. In particular, we use a technique where the receiver chooses the beamforming vector from a codebook of possible vectors and conveys this vector over a limited feedback channel. We show how this method obtains full diversity order. Monte Carlo simulations show performance close to optimal beamforming.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

In MBOK DS-UWB systems, rake reception and equalization are essential to compensate interpulse interference generated by multipath fading. For rake reception, we derive a novel technique to reduce its implementation complexity by setting a limit on the number of delay devices. For Viterbi equalization, we provide a reduced-state sequence estimation algorithm that reduces the computation complexity for MBOK DS-UWB systems. By employing the proposed rake reception and Viterbi equalization techniques, the complexity can be reduced to less than half of ordinary rake and equalization techniques. Simulation results show that our rake reception and Viterbi equalization techniques enable almost the same performance as existing techniques despite the lower complexity.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

Of all UWB systems, ultra wideband-impulse radio (UWB-IR) and direct sequence-ultra wideband (DS-UWB) use extreme short pulses and have the advantage of the extremely high path resolutions. The RAKE receiver is known as a technique that can effectively combine paths with different delays, obtain the path diversity gain, and improve the transmission characteristics. However, multipath is spread over dozens of symbols in the case of ultra high-speed communications of several hundreds Mbps, which causes the strong frequency selective channel. As a result, the transmission performance degrades. Meanwhile, the single-carrier (SC) transmission with frequency domain equalization (FDE) has also recently attracted much attention (Falconer et al. (2002)). It is reported that the SC with FDE has few problems of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and also obtains an excellent performance as well as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) even in the strong frequency selective channel where multipath is spread over dozens of symbols. In this paper, we propose UWB-IR and DS-UWB with minimum mean square error (MMSE)-FDE. We evaluate the bit error rate (BER) or UWB-IR and DS-UWB with MMSE-FDE and compare it to that of UWB-IR and DS-UWB with maximal ratio combining (MRC)-RAKE and MMSE-RAKE. In consequence, we show that UWB-IR with MMSE-FDE can achieve the better BER than UWB-IR with MRC-RAKE and MMSE-RAKE. We also show that DS-UWB with MMSE-FDE has a better BER than DS-UWB with MRC-RAKE and MMSE-RAKE, particularly when M is large.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

Current metrics for evaluating the performance limits of fading channels have shortcomings. Ergodic capacity, representing the ultimate error-free communications limit, only applies to systems with infinite coding delay. Practical systems are delay-limited and must use finite-length codes. For delay-limited systems /spl epsi/-capacity and delay-limited capacity are typically used to quantify the communications performance. However, /spl epsi/-capacity is not an estimate of error-free performance while delay-limited capacity tends to be an overly conservative measure. We model practical systems as a single server queue and quantify the communications performance as the average throughput through the queue. Throughput is maximized by optimally selecting the transmission rate and power control strategy. Using this approach we arrive at striking conclusions. First, we show that a throughput very close to ergodic capacity can be achieved with a small coding delay. Second, the optimal transmission rate for some systems can be higher than the ergodic capacity of the channel. Third, we demonstrate the notion that power adaptation does not improve communication performance does not hold for delay-limited systems.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.

A CCR consists of three concave mirrors. When a light beam enters the CCR, it bounces off each of the three mirrors and is reflected back parallel to the direction it entered. A CCR sends information towards a base station modulating the reflected beam by operation of vibrating CCR or shielding of light pass, and one can transmit an on-off-keying (OOK) modulated optical signal. In optical communications, a CCR is attractive, because of its small size, ease of operation, and low power consumption. In this analysis, we evaluate two decisions at the fusion center, the collective decision and the majority decision. The collective decision is that all the information detected by the sensors is collected by one photodetector (PD), and then the hard decision is done. The majority decision is that each information detected by the sensor is respectively received by each PD, the hard detection is done for each PD output, and decided by majority. We show that the bit error rates (BERs) of the systems are improved as the number of sensors increases. We also show that when the transmitted optical power is adequately large, the BERs of the systems depend on the accuracy of the sensors. We confirm that the BERs of the systems using the collective decision are better than those of the systems using the majority decision.","PeriodicalId":162046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2004.
