We assume an additive white Gaussian noise channel with multipath fading. We consider the case when the receiver can track the channel parameters, but the transmitters cannot. We look at three different measures of performance: the Shannon capacity, the delay limited capacity and probability of outage. Shannon capacity is better suited for systems where the delay requirements are not as stringent, whereas the delay limited capacity and probability of outage give the performance when there are strict delay requirements or when the channel is slowly fading. We observe that all three schemes have the same achievable rates of transmission in Shannon sense, but the code division multiple access scheme performs better than frequency and time division in terms of delay limited capacity and probability of outage.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

The proposed method is based on a deterministic relationship between the respective outputs of two FIR filters fed by the same input signal observed by Xu, Liu, Tong, and Kailath (see IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, p.2982-93, 1995). It also relies on the use of basis functions derived from the Nyquist symbol waveform to characterize each channel's respective impulse response as first proposed by Schell and Smith (see IEEE Milcom-94, p.128-32, 1994). For urban cellular scenarios where the delay spread is on the order of T/sub 0/, where 1/T/sub 0/ is the symbol rate, we show that the continuous-time channel for a given antenna may be well approximated by a linear combination of a small number of time-shifted versions of the Nyquist symbol waveform. The corresponding time shifts may be equi-spaced across the delay spread regardless of the number of actual multipaths and their respective times of arrival. This leads to a critical observation that for a given antenna the same basis coefficient values characterize both the \"real\" discrete-time channel realized by symbol-spaced sampling starting at t=0 and the virtual discrete-time channel realized by symbol-spaced sampling starting at t=(T/sub 0/)/2. This, in turn, leads to a channel identification scheme requiring two samples per symbol at each antenna that blindly identifies each channel with a relatively small number of symbols in a moderate SNR scenario. A further result is that a bank of small order FIR equalizing filters spanning roughly the delay spread may be computed directly from the basis function coefficient values for each antenna.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Unlike the existing parameterizations of orthogonal wavelets, the proposed method does the parameterization through a linear characterization of all halfband filters.

We show that all these detectors can be decomposed into representations that are simple functions of the same five statistically independent, chi-squared or normal, scalar random variables. This canonical representation has at least three advantages: (1) the behavior of these detectors can easily be related to that of the non-adaptive detectors from which they are derived (2) moments can be simply obtained from the distributions of the scalar random variables, and (3) Monte Carlo simulations of the distributions can be implemented more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

In this method, the digital filter is implemented as a cascade arrangement of low-order sections. The first section is designed through optimization so as to satisfy as far as possible, the overall required specifications. The first section is then fixed and a second section is added, which is designed so that the first two sections in cascade satisfy again as far as possible the overall required specifications. This process is repeated until a multisection filter is obtained that would satisfy the required specifications under the most critical circumstances imposed by the application at hand. In multisection filters of this type, the minimum number of sections required to process the current input signal can be switched in through the use of a simple adaptation mechanism and, in this way, the power consumption can be minimized. This design strategy is achieved by formulating the design of the k-th section as a weighted least-squares minimization problem, assuming that an optimum (k-1)-section design is available.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

One method operates on the encoder part of the coding system by incorporating a constraint in the distortion measure and the other method smoothes the trajectory of output vectors at the decoder side. The decoder method requires however an additional coding delay of one frame. By means of listening experiments it is demonstrated for three different vector quantizer structures that especially the decoder method gives significant improvements. For noisy channels, the preference for this method is even more emphasized.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.
