Per slot overhead occurs in a variety of network structures. Messages are assumed to be of random length, so they may need to be segmented into several slots, and are assumed to be arriving according to a Poisson process. Optimum slot is derived as a function of input rate, message length distribution, overhead per slot, and number of stations. It is also shown how one will be penalized by deviating from this optimum slot size. Guidelines are provided on how to assign unequal slot sizes in cases where different stations have different traffic characteristics. It is shown that this is a cumbersome nonlinear optimization programming problem in general, which reduces to a Kuhn-Tucker optimization programming problem in light traffic situations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Each channel supported a 2-Mb/s data stream and generated over a 3.5-km section of single-mode fiber. This enabled the connection of field-located 30-channel primary multiplexers to a digital switch located in the central office, making possible the provision of 120 POTS (plain old telephone systems) channels. Grating-based WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) components were used for both multiplexing and demultiplexing functions, enabling the system to operate with >4 dB of margin. An electrooptic primary multiplexer was linked to the public switched telephone network via the system, with no degradation being observed. It has also been shown that critical system components must be carefully specified to ensure that attenuation remains within the system limits over a range of conditions and that multilevel line codes must be considered unsuitable for future spectrally sliced system development.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The acquisition system utilizes a bank of parallel I-Q noncoherent matched filters for the search mode, and a coincidence detector for the verification mode. The probabilities of detection, false alarm, and missing are derived for the channel under consideration, from which the mean and variance of the acquisition time are evaluated as a measure of the system performance. It is shown that both the mean and variance decrease when the specular component is stronger. The variance decreases rapidly as the signal-to-noise ratio increases while the mean acquisition time reaches its minimum. It is also shown that the effect of the parameters of the fading process is very small.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Intraframe DCT (discrete cosine transform) codec is implemented by NOVI as an example of a transform-type video codec. The processing speed of the implemented codec is examined. This codec can process 9 frames/s (one frame consists of a 256*240 pixel image) using 34 PEs (processing elements): 16 PEs for the coder, 16 PEs for the decoder, and 2 PEs for the video I/O.

A multipath reduction technique using signal processing in the frequency domain is developed. In this technique, an original chirp signal is used for reference to identify radio propagation paths. In field trials, the delay profile is precisely obtained, and the bit error rate can be reduced. the error correction capability is also tested in a computer simulation. The proposed method was found to improve the error rate when the signal-to-noise ratio was greater than 20 dB.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The voice PAD is experimentally fabricated for voice communications in the packet multiplexing mode between PABXs via digital leased lines. Speech quality during network overload is protected from serious degradation by embedded ADPCM (adaptive differential pulse code modulation) speech coding and by most-significant bits (MSB) and least-significant bits (LSB) packet interleaving. This interleaving reduces the processing load on the switching system processors required to drop LSB speech sample packets following traffic congestion. The techniques presented are based on a fixed-length packet format and are well suited to asynchronous transfer mode environments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The protocol is collision-free during data transmission and can limit the number of simultaneous transmissions. The system is modeled as a two-dimensional Markov chain from which the throughput can be determined. Numerical results are presented and compared with those for other protocols. With a minislotted channel, the handshaking time is reasonably short, and it is shown that the performance can be significantly improved when the average packet length is not too small. Moreover, very high throughput can still be maintained, even when the offered traffic is high. The proposed protocol can be applied in multipoint to point situations as well as in multihop radio networks with a central station in each hop.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.
