The transmission system is based on an orthonormal transform (fast Hadamard transform) combined with trellis-coded modulation (TCM). The receiver uses an iterative block decision feedback equalizer and a Viterbi algorithm to decode the TCM. It is shown that the equalizer transforms the Rayleigh fading channel asymptotically into a set of parallel AWGN subchannels. Therefore, the decoder of each subchannel \"sees\" an AWGN channel. Hence, coding gains comparable to the coding gains in an AWGN environment can be achieved. The results are considerably better than the performance of TCM codes designed for the Rayleigh fading channel with the same power and bandwidth efficiency. The conclusions of channel capacity considerations support the potential of the proposed transmission and reception scheme. The theoretical findings are furthermore supported by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":206655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of PIMRC '96 - 7th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Communications","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127124201","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}

For evaluating the signal whose quality falls repeatedly within a short duration, the probability of DUR (desired to undesired signal ratio) below a given value is adopted.

A conventional 64-ary orthogonal code (M/sub 64/) transmitting 6 bits of information is examined first. Each of the 64 code symbols in the M/sub 64/ code is assumed to be spread by a random sequence of length N, and the channel is assumed to be interleaved every N chips. We consider a M/sub 64/ DS-SS code concatenated with a (63, k) Reed-Solomon (RS) outer code and varying the amount of spreading and the code rate for a fixed data rate and bandwidth. Our analysis based on Gaussian approximation shows that when the number of users is reasonably large, an optimal value k* to achieve the minimum bit error probability of the (63, k) RS code can be found. Furthermore, we extend the results by substituting the M/sub 64/ code with the trellis coded Nordstrom-Robinson code (TCNR), and the trellis coded Reed-Muller code (TCRM), which have the same data rate as that of the M/sub 64/ code. An optimal value k* to achieve minimum bit error probability can also be found when the TCNR code or the TCRM code is concatenated with a (63, k) RS outer code.","PeriodicalId":206655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of PIMRC '96 - 7th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Communications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131049197","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}

Such receivers have the potential to dramatically increase capacity of CDMA systems compared to systems with conventional correlator receivers, without the high complexity associated with many proposed multi-user receivers. To be practical for many applications, the convergence rate of the adaptive algorithms must be improved, while maintaining low residual mean-squared error (MSE), robustness to noise and realisable complexity. The slow convergence of the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm is highlighted for this application. Recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms are shown to give much quicker convergence, but have much higher sensitivity to thermal noise. Algorithms normally termed \"Fast-RLS\", are shown to more complex than the conventional RLS algorithm when used in a CDMA receiver.","PeriodicalId":206655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of PIMRC '96 - 7th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Communications","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132523855","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}

Wireless ATM can offer multiple connections supporting various types of services. For CBR (constant bit rate) and VBR (variable bit rate) services, time-sensitive QoS (quality of services) are important, unlike other services such as ABR (available bit rate). For CBR and VBR services, the peak bandwidth needs to be assigned to meet CDV (cell delay variation) requirements. For time-insensitive services, assigning the peak bandwidth wastes radio resources since the average bandwidth of such services is generally much lower than the peak bandwidth. This paper proposes a QoS oriented buffer control algorithm to satisfy CDV requirements while maximizing radio resource utilization. The proposed scheme needs less total bandwidth than the sum of the peak bandwidths required for all connections.","PeriodicalId":206655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of PIMRC '96 - 7th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Communications","volume":"43 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132974641","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}

Computer simulation results have shown that, the use of diversity reception technique can significantly improve the BER performance when the normalized delay between the signals at the two receivers is small.

For fixed sampling, the proportionality constant K is about 0.5, and depends only weakly on the filters. For adaptive sampling, K is one or more orders of magnitude smaller, depending strongly on the filters in the system.
