SIP sessions have to be highly available and reliable. This paper presents a performance evaluation of a novel state-sharing algorithm for providing reliable SIP services. The novelty is a result of sharing SIP (application-protocol) states as opposed to transport-protocol states. The most important performance parameters are evaluated in terms of the system variables such as server failure and repair time distributions, call arrival and call duration distributions, and link parameters, i.e., delay and bandwidth. The considered performance parameters are availability, reliability and dependability. Concerning the state transport mechanism, the results show that TFTP significantly outperforms FTP with respect to the overall performance.","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133492702","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 current voltage levels of 14 volts in commercial and generally 28 volts in military vehicles have difficulty in sustaining the growing demands of electrical loads, created largely due to the advent of power electronics. Presently the 42-volt system is finding its headway in the commercial automotive industry. However, there still remain some significant issues, that need to be carefully examined in order to transition 42-volt systems into military vehicles. The difference between the military and commercial applications of 42 volt is also described including any ramifications due to this difference.","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132590297","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}

A conventional decision function in adaptive equalization makes use of a hard decision threshold device to generate a difference signal (sometimes also called error signal) necessary in the process of updating the tap weights of the equalizer. This has the disadvantage of not differentiating a very weak signal from a strong signal. Our proposed nonlinear decision function approach weighs less on weak signals and is shown to provide enhancement over a conventional decision function. In this paper, we attempt to justify the use of the proposed clipped parabolic nonlinear decision function and investigate various possible forms of nonlinear decision functions.","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127636331","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}

Compared with multipath fading, shadowing exists on a longer time scale. Hence interleaving to combat shadowing introduces unacceptably large decoding delay. Here we propose an adaptive two-copy delayed SR-ARQ scheme whereby two copies of a packet are sent - the second with a delay relative to the first - in every transmission or retransmission. Closed-form expressions for mean transmission time, success probability, and residual loss probability are provided and simulation is used to validate the analysis. Furthermore, the issue of optimizing delay is addressed as well, and a simple yet effective strategy is suggested to support TCP traffic. By simulation, we compare the proposal with the normal SR-ARQ scheme in terms of TCP end-to-end throughput, and show great performance improvement achieved by our method.","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134459374","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 main advantage of the system is that low PAPR values can be obtained with a large system capacity. However, BER performance is similar to the conventional M-ary PSK MC-CDMA system. The PAPR reduction method of low PAPR spreading code selection (see Thilak Ginige et al., WPMC'00, vol.1., p.39-44, 2000) can be applied with the 4-QAM-OFDM-CDMA system as well as SCS-MPSK-MC-CDMA systems. It can be shown that, by applying this technique, the 15 dB PAPR level of a 90 user conventional MPSK-MC-CDMA system with 128 Walsh Hadamard (WH) code can be reduced to 13 dB by employing 64 WH codes with the same capacity and data rate. The dynamic spreading code allocation technique (see Thilak Ginige et al., IEEE Commun. Letters, p.408-10, 2001) also can be applied in SCS-MPSK-MC-CDMA system to reduce PAPR level further. Since MPSK systems are extremely sensitive to phase errors, the proposed SCS-MPSK-MC-CDMA system can be applied to indoor wireless systems with a larger number of users.","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131424334","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}

Besides, interference between data channel signals and pilot channel signals under multipath fading channels is also taken into consideration.

Our approach is motivated by the fact that many performance analyses involve metrics which are functions of the eigenvalues of the channel correlation matrix. More specifically in Rayleigh fading we often require the eigenvalues of the Wishart matrix HH/sup /spl dagger// where H is the matrix of channel gains. Hence we propose direct simulation of the Wishart eigenvalues rather than simulation of the full channel matrix. If H is n/sub R//spl times/n/sub T/ then this idea in itself reduces simulation time since m=min(n/sub R/, n/sub T/) eigenvalues are required rather than the 2/spl times/n/sub R//spl times/n/sub T/ real Gaussians. However, direct generation of the eigenvalues; is complicated. Therefore we introduce a novel eigenvalue importance sampling technique which generates the eigenvalues from a simple biased density which \"mimics\" the real density. We call our approach eigenvalue importance sampling (EVIS). Secondly, we try to reduce rare event simulation time by using biased eigenvalue densities to encourage the rare event of interest. We denote this approach rare event eigenvalue importance sampling (REVIS). Both methods are demonstrated via the example of simulating capacity outages and values for a MIMO system. Results show that considerable savings are offered by this novel approach even with simple implementations and small scale systems (m/spl les/4).","PeriodicalId":162055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE 56th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115523240","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}

Due to the compression effect, the guard interval can be reduced and the efficiency of the OFDM system increases.
