This receiver is prepared to handle modulation schemes whose symbols belong to a linear, two-dimensional signal space (such as M-PSK or M-QAM). It is capable of identifying key signal parameters (e.g., symbol rate and constellation) and in an autonomous way, modifies its operation accordingly. Four aspects of self-reconfigurable are addressed: baseband filtering, symbol synchronization, carrier synchronization and constellation recognition. The performance of the receiver is evaluated based on simulation results, and several usage scenarios for the proposed architecture are envisaged.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

Especially for the control of the distortion cancellation loop it was inevitable to implement a baseband-controller if the use of a pilot carrier should have been avoided. A significant deterioration of the costs of a feedforward amplifier can be achieved by using power sensors to balance all loops. This paper introduces a loop controller, which tunes the loops of a feedforward amplifier based on the power measurement of two signals within the circuit. The structure of this controller is discussed and measurement results for a 40 W GSM2+ (EDGE) power amplifier are presented.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

Agrawal","doi":"10.1109/RAWCON.2003.1227895","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/RAWCON.2003.1227895","url":null,"abstract":"In the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) with fixed access points (APs), handoff occurs when a mobile station (MS) with a communication in progress changes its associated AP from one to another. It is important to minimize the handoff latency because the active communications of a MS are interrupted before the handoff completes. Such a design needs to take into consideration the high error rate of WLANs. The IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) protocol recommends an active scanning mode for the handoff process. The probe delay of the active scanning may increase greatly if the probe request is lost. However, the successful transmission of the probe request is very unpredictable due to the high collision probability and the lack of any acknowledgement. In this paper, we propose a highly reliable active scanning scheme which can be implemented with the current IEEE 802.11 channel scanning procedure. It is indicated to efficiently increase the reliability of channel scanning, especially in a noisy environment, by performing the probe request loss detection and retransmission. Furthermore, the proposed scheme reduces the overall handoff latency by providing a higher priority for management frames over data frames.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.
