The problem of joint detection of the data-rate and of the information symbols transmitted by each user is addressed. First of all, the optimum maximum-likelihood receiver is derived. Since this receiver has a complexity exponential both in the number of users and in the length of the data packet, several suboptimum receivers are also derived. Simulation results finally show that these suboptimum receivers, while performing worse than the optimum receiver, achieve satisfactory performance with more limited computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128746362","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}

One tuning input is provided mainly for the fractional-TV frequency synthesis, and the other one is for the direct GFSK modulation. In the VCO design, the tuning sensitivity for GFSK modulation is optimized including the effects of digital-to-analog converter (DAC). In addition, the size of spiral inductor in the LC tank is minimized without the cost of reducing quality (Q) factor. The implemented TPDSM-based GFSK-modulated frequency synthesizer can achieve a maximum data rate of up to 2.5 Mbps with an FSK error less than 1.4% and a phase-locked loop (PLL) settling time less than 110 /spl mu/s. The modulated frequency synthesizer with such good performances has promising application potential in a low-power solution for the enhanced data rate (EDR) Bluetooth transmitters.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"79 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128103730","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}

The signal cancellation loop and distortion cancellation loop in the proposed feed-forward configuration have a filter and vector regulator for each band. The filter only selects the desired frequency band component from the input signals. Employing the filters means that the whole bandwidth of the input signals is converted to an operable bandwidth for the vector regulators. Therefore, the vector regulator can sufficiently adjust the amplitude and phase of the selected frequency band component. The proposed configuration achieves sufficient intermodulation distortion compensation for each band. A 1.7 GHz/2.1 GHz dual-band, 1-W class feed-forward amplifier is investigated. The third-order intermodulation distortion is less than -70 dBc when the output power is 22 dBm for each band. The saturation output power at 1.7 GHz and 2.1 GHz is 28 dBm and 30 dBm, respectively. These experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed feed-forward amplifier configuration.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132627916","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}

This paper studies a video transport scheme that creates multi-path route, which consists of a main route for video streaming and sub routes for retransmission packets generated by data link layer ARQ to complement the packet loss of main route, and selects the suitable main route from these routes according to the network condition. Furthermore, we report an experiment using a camera as a mobile video source and notebook computers as ad hoc nodes. The results show that this scheme can select a route that has sufficient throughput for video streaming, and when the camera moves, the route can be changed seamlessly without video interruption.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123882250","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}

However, relative little is known regarding the performance of these alternative basis functions and how they compare with traditional DFT. This paper investigates the performance of OFDM modems employing alternative basis functions under different fading channel models in both double sideband and single sideband operation modes. A semi-analytical approach is also developed to predict and compare the error performance between different basis functions. The predicted results are close to the simulations thus verifying the simulation model. It was found that in general DFT has a better error performance, but interspersed basis is capable of offering a higher net throughout under certain channel conditions.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"168 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120886317","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}
