Unlike the classical method of cluster reuse, the proposed directional frequency reuse is based on group reuse, having multiple reuse distances. Consequently, the carrier to interference ratio (C/I) appears as a function of multiple reuse distances with fewer cochannel interferers. Moreover, antenna downtilt and beamwidth becomes more effective thus enhancing C/I and capacity. These novel features are presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

Multiple received noisy packets are combined on a bit by bit basis to form a single, more reliable packet. A novel mechanism to ensure a reliable packet combining operation is outlined. It is shown that packet combining is an effective mechanism for enhancing the network throughput and delay performance of the conventional DS/CDMA ALOHA, while sustaining a reasonable receiver complexity. This scheme is highly advantageous for systems which can tolerate a certain delay and operate over highly time-varying channels. We also examine the sensitivity of the system performance to the packet header failure rate and in the presence of feedback channel errors.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

As the TMN system is implemented depending on different hardware and operating system, there are some problems in development, maintenance & administration of classes in the agent. One of the main problems is that all the agents of the TMN system and the software and data blocks that perform the identical functions must be duplicated and maintained. Therefore, the Q3 interface standard development cannot be defined and the multi-platform cannot be supported in the development of the TMN agent. In order to overcome these problems, the farming methodology that is based on the entity-aspect (EA) model has been suggested. With the methodology, the redundant software and data components in the distributed objects (DO) are moved to the platform independent class repository in the form of componentware. After setting up the framework of the DO, some small componentwares are loaded dynamically to the DO, while others are loaded statistically.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

We only consider the issues of the ASIC design and implementation in the forward link. We present an efficient structure of the forward link in the WLL system. According to the proposed structure, the modulator ASIC is composed of two channels which perform channel coding, block interleaving and spreading, and with four baseband filters.

It is shown that the multipath channel and a bank of correlators in a multi-user CDMA environment can be modeled as a multi-input, multi-output FIR channel. This link between multi-user detection in direct sequence (DS) CDMA and FIR MIMO system identification problem which has been studied extensively in signal processing area enables the use of powerful signal processing techniques.
