The basic design and tests as well as the main results and conclusions concerning spurious emission, interference, coverage and service transparency to the users are presented. Due to the non-disclosure agreement established between TELEBRAS and the manufacturers, no results of a specific WLL product is presented, nor a comparison between them.

For both interleaved and non-interleaved systems, the Viterbi algorithm is used to minimize an additive metric which incorporates estimates of the fading samples in each symbol interval. Kalman estimators are used to recursively update these estimates on a per-survivor basis whereupon, at a given instant, a distinct estimate is associated to each trellis node. Bit error rate curves are evaluated by computer simulations and compared to curves obtained assuming ideal fading knowledge and to curves pertaining to other methods in the literature.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.

MC systems using frequency diversity are not useful for typical indoor channels in a frequency nonselective fading environment. This is because the envelopes received by sub-carriers have highly correlated fading patterns with respect to each other. We introduce multiple antenna to the sub-carriers of the MC-CDMA system in order to obtain independent fading patterns. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed and compared with the conventional MC-CDMA system and CDMA system with distributed antenna.","PeriodicalId":205350,"journal":{"name":"ITS'98 Proceedings.
