The main difference between indoors and outdoors is that in this latter environment the signal propagation is not limited between walls, and therefore, is more interfered. When several operators compete for one service using the DECT, they have to share the band allocated to the DECT. There are several ways to share the available frequencies, one is spectrum splitting among all operators. This technique loses capacity because dividing the channels leads to a poor trunking efficiency but, all the systems are independent and there is no need for any synchronisation between them. The second method allows each operator to access the full available spectrum. It can be seen that this technique has better results than the former if all the systems are synchronised but, if not, there is an increment of the interference that produces a loss of capacity. This paper focuses on the effects of desynchronisation between systems sharing the same frequencies.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

In this system, all microcellular base stations are connected with a fiber-optic bus link by using an optical coupler; and each base station and control station have only an electrical to optic converter, an optic to electrical converter and an OFDM transmitter and receiver. To manage the frequency band efficiently in one cellular, we communicate with other users by using MC-CDMA/TDD (multi-carrier code division multiple access/time division duplex). Therefore we propose a new MC-CDMA/TDD system that is suitable for the FORMATION system. The proposed MC-CDMA/TDD system uses cyclic extended code division multiplex and it is very easy to synchronize the code and FFT start point at the OFDM receiver. This paper explains the basic concept of the FORMATION system and the new MC-CDMA/TDD system, and evaluates the basic BER performance of proposed MC-CDMA system.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

Fading and handoff due to host motion cause increased the delay and packet losses to the active transport layer connection. The TCP interprets these as signs of network congestion. As a result, it promptly throttles its transmissions and backoffs its timers, leading to slow post-handoff recovery of the transmission and long idle time. These cause severe end-to-end throughput degradation and unreasonably long interactive delay for human interaction. We present three phenomena observed (long communication pause, slow post-handoff recovery, and successive timeouts) which are the main causes of the TCP performance degradation in the presence of handoff. To alleviate these effects on the TCP, two schemes, PROBE and BUFFER+FREEZE, are proposed. PROBE makes the TCP aware of mobility and adapts the protocol to the mobile environment. Whereas; BUFFER+FREEZE tries to hide the effects of motion from TCP by buffering at the basestation and freezing the action of the TCP source.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

In this paper the available diversity channels are utilized by forward error correction coding in an adaptive fashion to improve the reliability of the system. Based on the quality of the diversity channels, the code rate over each channel is determined using discrete optimization of the overall error probability, subject to the constraint of fixed overall throughput rate. It is found that the proposed system provides noticeable gain over the classical diversity system when binary BCH codes with hard-decision decoding are used. Moreover, the proposed system offers flexibility in choosing the throughput of the system, which the diversity system lacks. The advantages of the proposed system are obtained at only slight increase in implementation complexity.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

The algorithm is based on the fluid flow model of mobility analysis and a subgradient heuristic. The design objective is to optimize the location area size subject to the constraint of minimum boundary crossings per unit time because the low frequency of the crossings implies less handovers and less updates in the location database registers. Mathematically, the design task has been formulated as a two-variable non-linear optimization problem which has been solved with the help of Lagrangean relaxation combined with an efficient subgradient heuristic. The experimental results indicate that, for a fixed number of location areas, the optimum location area size does not change significantly with the terminal velocity. Moreover, by selecting the proper density and optimum location area size, the number of crossings can be restricted to the order of tens per hour, which is quite manageable.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

In association with these channel impulse response (CIR) models, different types of recursive least squares (RLS) and Kalman filtering and smoothing algorithms are derived directly from the on-line EM algorithm. The EM algorithm as a powerful tool unifies the derivations of some adaptive estimation methods (which include RLS and Kalman) whose original criterion is minimum mean square error (MMSE), but under linear and Gaussian conditions can achieve ML or maximum a posterior (MAP) criterion.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.
