These processes are bursty, and there is a strong correlation between the successive arrivals. Different approximation methods which capture the burstiness and the correlation between the successive events on the average waiting time for the PCP/D/1 queue are examined. The notion of effective batchiness is introduced, and its properties are given. In particular, it is shown that, in light traffic, the correlation between arrivals has little effect on the average wait, and it approaches to that of the classical M/D/1 queue, i.e. a minimum effective batchiness of 1. In heavy traffic, the average wait approaches to that of the M/sup x//D/1 queue, i.e. a batch Poisson arrival which results in the maximum effective batchiness given in terms of the first two moments of the cluster size.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The linearizer is implemented as a modern receiver digital circuit which employs two read-only memories that are programmed to cancel either third- or fifth-order nonlinearities. The memory outputs are scaled by adaptive coefficients which minimize the channel nonlinearity. The linearizer has been shown to be effective for input nonlinear bit error rates up to 10/sup -3/. At input error rates up to 10/sup -6/, the linearizer reduces the nonlinear error rate by five orders of magnitude in a 64-QAM digital radio system, and the linearized system has a selective fading performance approximately equal to that of a linear system. The circuit is entirely digital and can be manufactured with automated processes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Rationales and technical approaches are described. In this architecture, each mobile subscriber must follow a channel access protocol to make a service request to the network management center before transmission for either open-end or closed-end services. Open-end service requests will be processed on a blocked call cleared basis, while closed-end requests will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Two channel access protocols are investigated, namely a recently proposed multiple channel collision resolution scheme which provides a significantly higher useful throughput, and the traditional slotted ALOHA scheme. The number of channels allocated for either open-end or closed-end services can be adaptively changed according to aggregated traffic requests. Both theoretical and simulation results are presented. Theoretical results have been verified by simulation on the JPL network testbed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Typically, an HRA identifies ways to improve the man-machine interface; the operating, maintenance, and/or emergency procedures; the hardware design; and the management systems related to the task being performed. It is noted that, in many cases, only a qualitative HRA need be performed; the error-likely situations and possible improvements are obvious. In other cases, the HRA must be quantified so that decision makers can judge whether the probability of hyman errors is tolerable and whether the benefits of system changes outweigh the costs. It is concluded that HRA is a practical tool that should be one element of any company's risk management program.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The first two systems, double-frequency phase shift keying (DFPSK) and Jones matrix inversion PSK (JMPSK) rely on the principle of transmitting a reference carrier to compensate for the phase noise effect at the receiver. The polarization independence is attained in DFPSK by polarization diversity detection and in JMPSK by the electronic feedforward technique. The second pair of systems, antipodal Stokes parameters shift keying (ASPSK) and differential Stokes parameters shift keying (DSPSK), is based on polarization modulation and Stokes parameter detection. Because the Stokes parameters are independent of the phase terms common to both polarization components, the systems are widely tolerant with respect to the phase noise. The polarization fluctuation insensitivity is realized in ASPSK by means of a feedforward electronic control circuit, while in DSPSK the adopted decision criterion allows instantaneous polarization fluctuation compensation. The first class of systems is suitable for long-haul applications, the second class for local and metropolitan area networks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

An integration scheme of the movable frame type is proposed to guarantee different types of services, a basic capacity plus a capacity on the demand. In light of the proposed protocol, the flexibility of the QPSX network was realized. The mathematical model of the proposed system is formulated, and the computation of the performance of a network example is derived. The results show the high capacity potential of such a network.

They provide ways to construct arbitrarily large switches out of modest-size packet switches, without sacrificing overall delay/throughput performance. They propose and study a growable switch architecture based on three key principles: (a) a generalized knockout principle which exploits the statistical behavior of packet arrivals and thereby reduces the interconnect complexity; (b) output queuing, which yields the best possible delay/throughput performance; and (c) distributed intelligence in routing packets through the interconnect fabric. Other features include the guarantee of a first-in first-out packet sequence, broadcast and multicast capabilities, and compatibility with variable-length packets. In a broadband ISDN (integrated services digital network) example, the authors show a 2048*2048 switch configuration with building blocks of 42*16 packet switch modules and 128*128 interconnect modules.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.
