A fast training procedure is derived to coestimate the near echo and the far echo with bulk delay, and the channel responses. The effects of the noise and symbol rates' offset between two ends are examined in terms of both mean square error and SNR. Both the theoretical analysis and computer simulations show that there are three degrading factors due to symbol rates' offset. The new algorithm delivers fst convergence speed with the same computational requirements as those of stochastic-gradient algorithms and reduces the tap-setting time to half of that required by the traditional half-duplex fast training scheme.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131333263","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}

An appropriate bridge routing strategy is suggested to interconnect the several MANs needed to cover an urban metropolitan area. A novel isochronous transport mechanism is proposed to facilitate speech silence suppression over the MAN. While a queue-arbitrated connectionless service is used for signaling over MANs to enable call setup and handoff, voice circuits are provided by means of the pre-arbitrated isochronous service. Connection issues within a metropolitan area relevant to call setup and handoff are examined. To facilitate capacity savings between voice talk spurts on the MAN, a technique is described which enables the isochronous service to accommodate data rate variations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"63 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129909799","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}

This architecture is similar to broadband ISDN networks and, thus, constitutes a realistic testbed for the modeling and distributed simulation. Every switching node of the communications network is modeled on a processor of the parallel processor and the traffic flow is represented by the communications protocols. Given that the models of the switching nodes are executed in parallel, the distributed simulation is expected to execute significantly faster than the traditional uniprocessor approach. This approach makes it possible to realistically model overloads in networks, study their impact on the network performance, and investigate new schemes to limit overloads from causing uncontrollable performance degradation. An implementation of the approach on the ARMSTRONG parallel processor at Brown University is described. Performance results, based on representative example B-ISDN networks, realistic traffic models, and network characteristics indicate that the distributed approach achieves significant speedup over the traditional approach. The utilization of the traffic capacities of the links is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128855419","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}

In asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, the cell loss rate is more sensitive to offered load than the queueing delay. Therefore, call admission control in ATM networks should be cell loss rate sensitive. The author proposes and evaluates a call admission control method which can be applied to the priority control case. The proposed method is suitable for real time operation even in a multimedia case, because the amount of calculation for call admission control is reduced considerably compared to conventional techniques and does not increase in the multimedia case. The method uses a probability density function for the number of cells transferred from multiplexed cells and uses recursive equations in estimating cell loss rate.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116002306","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}

All the inlets of the switching elements are synchronized on minislots, where a minislot is the fixed-length time unit for transmission of one minicell. When entering the network, an ATM cell is converted into a minicell train, consisting of a fixed number of minicells. Using a two-state model, it is assumed that on each inlet, the number of minicell trains in an active period and the length of a silence period are both geometrically distributed, and the arriving minicell trains are uniformly distributed among all the outlets. The performance of the switching element can thus be obtained by analyzing one single output queue, which can be modeled as a discrete-time single-server queue with train arrivals. An upper bound and an approximate expression for the mean queue length are derived. An analytical method to obtain an upper bound and an approximation for the tail distribution of the queue length are presented. A comparison with simulation results shows that this upper bound is very tight.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"636 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116480308","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}
