Design examples are given of matched filters with an equiripple stopband characteristics, and matched filters with a stopband characteristic satisfying FCC mask specifications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124412214","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 analytical model for slotted-ALOHA channels using general backoff functions has been developed and used to assess the performance advantages offered by either exponential backoff or alternative policies motivated by heuristic considerations. It is demonstrated that for a finite-source traffic model, the use of appropriate backoff policies can result in significant improvements in stable throughput-delay characteristics relative to nonadaptive systems. It is also shown that while several alternative classes of backoff functions with optimized parameters do not differ substantially in performance, exponential backoff may be outperformed by alternative policies such as the mu -law or step function.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122189693","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}
