In addition to high error rates and constantly varying channels, mobile communication imposes new constraints, including limited energy supplies, and the need for portability. A system for wireless networking utilizing code division multiple access (CDMA), in conjunction with spread spectrum (SS) modulation is presented. By combining SS, automatic power control and local coordination, a \"collisionless,\" energy and spectrum efficient system can be created which is capable of simultaneously providing high bandwidth and low latency communications. A new routing method, minimum consumed energy routing is evaluated. This new method is shown to reduce latency by 75%, reduce power consumption by 15%, and avoid congestion, in comparison with minimum transmitted energy routing. A simulator, SSNetSim, was developed to simulate the performance of these networks. By taking into account factors such as station placement, traffic patterns, routing strategies, and path loss, network performance, in terms of SNR, throughput, latency, and power consumption, is computed.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

It is shown that for the same equalization effort the maximum achievable carrier bit rate (CBR) strongly depends on the antenna configuration. A CBR of 40-50 Mbit/s in a medium size room and 20 Mbit/s in a large room using biconic horn antennas at the mobile terminal (MT) and at the base station transceiver (BST) is achievable, while this limit increases up to 100 Mbit/s when using two horn antennas located in the two narrower lateral walls of the room. Moreover, a simple method to estimate the maximum CBR based on the channel time dispersion is presented. Simulation results for several MT positions along the rooms are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

The reduction of system noise figure for a base station is accomplished by installing LNAs between the receive antenna and the radio. Using noise figure theory, the paper develops an analytical model for the SNR improvement. The SNR models are found to be functions of the reverse-link noise rise, which constitutes a measure of the reverse-link capacity limits. Since the CDMA system uses reverse-link power control, the improvement in SNR is manifested in the reduction of the mobile's transmit power. In terms of capacity, the reverse-link capacity of a CDMA base station with installed LNAs has not improved. However, the capacity of a neighboring base station (with no LNAs) has improved. This is because the mobile within the coverage area of a base station (with LNA) now transmits less power and contributes less loading to the neighboring base station (with no LNA).","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

In this paper we study the behavior of adaptive antennas in multipath Rayleigh fading by investigating the statistical variation of the spatial signature of a signal incident upon an antenna array. A method for analyzing the multipath performance of adaptive antennas is presented. It can be shown that the antenna performance becomes less dependent on the angles of arrival (AOA) of the incident signals as their angular spreads and antenna element spacing increase. In general, antenna performance improves for increasing element spacing because fading reduction is more effective and interference suppression is possible even when the mean AOAs of desired and interfering signals coincide.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

After bonding, the entire assembly was run through the MEMS release process, after which the MEMS host substrate was removed. The thermosonic bonding was a very reliable prototyping tool with a 100% bonding yield. The transfer process can be used with any MEMS that can be wire bonded.

As a measure of the difficulty of linearization, the dynamic range, defined as the ratio of maximum to minimum instantaneous powers is commonly used. DSSB modulation is shown to provide the much reduced dynamic range from 5.5 dB to 8.9 dB whereas the dynamic range of QPSK is infinite and the dynamic range of OQPSK is around 11 dB. With DSSB, therefore, we can adopt more efficient amplifier with much simplified linearizer design. Besides, the proposed DSSB system does not need very sharp cutoff filtering and only sloped filtering, such as a raised cosine filtering, can be used.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
