An initial carrier-to-interference ratio assessment for these patterns considers the mobiles positioned at the worst-case condition and the system operating at full load. Among the possible reuse patterns (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, ...microcells per cluster) the performance analysis investigates systems with clusters of 5, 8, 9, and 10 microcells. The results show a substantial difference in performance for the uplink and downlink, with the former performing less satisfactorily than the latter and with this difference diminishing as the size of the cluster increases. Both the 10- and the 9-microcell clusters exhibit outstanding performance and, if appropriately explored, a remarkable trade-off between capacity and interference may be encountered in the 5-microcell cluster.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

Most of these configurations are multilayer patch antennas with some of them achieving up to 40% in bandwidth. Recently, another new geometry has been reported, a single patch fed by a three-dimensional feed line, which in essence is a very tall patch fed by a wide-band dipole. This antenna is reported to exhibit a 90-100% bandwidth for VSWR <2:1; towards the high end of the band, however, the radiation from the wide-band dipole is too strong and interferes with the patch pattern resulting in a high crosspolarization level. In the array environment, though, the crosspolarization is reduced by the array factor. The paper analyzes the performance of an eight-element array and its scanning capabilities. To avoid grading lobes the radiating elements have to be very close to each other, so the impact of the mutual coupling is also investigated.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

The impulse responses of arched and rectangular buildings for any transmitter-receiver location are computed by shooting and bouncing ray/image techniques. By using the impulse responses of these multipath channels, the impact of shapes of buildings is presented and the bit error rate performance of a BPSK (binary phase shift keying) system with phase and timing recovery circuits are also calculated. Moreover, a dual space antenna diversity technique and decision feedback equalizer with four forward and three feedback taps are used to combat the multipath fading. Numerical results show that the mean RMS (root mean square) delay spread for the arched building is smaller than that for the rectangular building. In addition, it is also found that the transmission rate can be up to 20 Mbps for an indoor millimeter-wave channel of these two buildings by using dual space diversity and DFE.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

Therefore, it is important to correctly dimension ATM networks in order to support this kind of traffic. In order to achieve this goal, we need a precise traffic model. Bellcore researchers, based on rigorous statistical analyses of a great amount of aggregate Ethernet traffic, have proposed the self-similar or fractal model for this kind of traffic. This model has very distinct statistical properties when compared to traditional aggregate data traffic models such as the Poisson, and the exponential ON-OFF model. Additionally the pseudo-self-similar model, a Markovian model that behaves close to self-similar traffic, has been proposed. This model aims at easing the performance evaluation of ATM networks with self-similar traffic by re-using the analytic methods developed for Markovian models. We study the statistical multiplexing of aggregate data traffic in ATM networks. We aim at determining the impact of the self-similar model in statistical multiplexing (with respect to the Poisson and exponential ON-OFF models) and the feasibility of using the pseudo-self-similar model in this kind of study.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

A new fractional ARIMA model for VBR MPEG video traffic at frame level is presented. The fractional integrative component of the model is based on a process called \"fractional differencing\". The model is obtained from three very long sequences. It is used to synthesize artificial traffic, which presents the desired LRD.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

In order to become a real alternative to traditional wireline telecommunications, wireless networks should provide competitive quality, reliability and availability of service. These requirements imply a need for a wireless fault management system with features similar to those incorporated in wireline counterparts. Despite a significant need for fault management in wireless networks, there has been almost no such proposals nor deployments. Existing wireless fault management systems provide management of mobile switching centers (MSG), rarely of base stations. Traditionally, base stations measure signal quality, and send alarms to a network management center (NMC) if some of the signal parameters are out of allowed range. This solution has been proven to be insufficient since it is possible to detect the signal quality at a base station's site, not at a subscriber's site. The proposed overlay signal monitoring system collects various signal parameters at a subscriber's site, determines if these parameters are within the allowed range of values, and generates an alarm if it is not the case. The NMC receives alarms and handles them as in wireline networks. This paper describes elements of the signal monitoring system, and how it detects and locates base station failures, signal degradation, co-channel and adjacent channel interference in a network. A mechanism for alarm generation and reporting is also described, as well as the interface between the signal monitoring system and existing network management center.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.
