It accounts for all rays reaching the receiver location after an arbitrary number of reflections and includes the effect of the angle of incidence, the material dielectric constant, the antenna pattern and polarization, the wall roughness, and the tunnel cross section size. The simulation results in this paper are obtained by analyzing many fewer rays compared to other published results. The results illustrate that in an empty straight rectangular tunnel environment, propagation has a very short time delay spread. Meanwhile, the results have shown that rms delay spread for horizontally polarized transmit and receive antennas is more than for vertically polarized transmit and receive antennas, in which the attenuation constant is less when transmit and receive antennas are horizontally polarized than when they are vertically polarized. Finally, by using a specific pattern, the rms delay spread is decreased compared to an isotropic antenna.","PeriodicalId":260472,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications.

Nowadays cellular technology is being invariably employed in mobile communication to maximize the spectral efficiency. Due to the frequency reuse there comes the problem of co-channel interference into the picture, due to which we have to restrict the frequency reuse factor to 7. We have used trellis coded modulation to impose orthogonality in the signal space due to which we have been able to achieve satisfactory performance in terms of CCI at a frequency reuse factor of 4, thus approximately doubling the spectral efficiency. Performance analysis of the system is done.

Although blocking handoff calls is normally more annoying than blocking new calls, blocking new calls reduces resource utilization. By considering a mobility parameter, a novel random early blocking (REB) scheme is proposed to achieve the aforesaid goals in a two-tier cellular network. With REB, new calls are accepted according to some acceptance probability taking into account mobility difference between slow mobility and fast mobility calls. An iterative algorithm is developed to calculate performance measures of interest, i.e., new call blocking probability and forced termination probability. First, simulation results are shown to verify analytical results. Then, numerical results are presented to show the robustness of REB.","PeriodicalId":260472,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications.

The cell capacity is obtained by simulation for the given mobile environment. The cell capacity is used in network planning. The proposed 3G wireless systems mainly address data services. A 3G system allows users to use multimedia services. Therefore, there can be several different combinations of the voice and data services that may occur at a base station transceiver (BTS). This will require major time-consuming simulations to obtain the Erlang capacity of the BTS for all possible combinations of the services and will complicate the network planning process. The objective of this paper is to present a simple tool that analytically models a BTS. We do not have to depend on major simulations to obtain the BTS capacity for the given set of services. We develop the Erlang capacities of a BTS for voice services, real-time (circuit-switched) and non-real-time (packet-switched) data services. We use the capacity figures of the uplink and downlink with the link budget to calculate the maximum cell radius for each service type in an urban environment. We show the effect of uplink and downlink information bit rate on the cell radius.","PeriodicalId":260472,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications.

With the increasing amount of data transfer over the Internet, satellite links are increasingly being used for Web-transfers. Web documents such as HTML pages generally reference multiple files to display a page. HTTP gets all these documents sequentially, thus increasing latency. Due to large round trip times over satellite links, the delays become unacceptably high. The smart proxy approach uses a proxy server at both the receiver and sender side to implement parsing, caching and prefetching of referenced documents on the sender side and caching at receiver side. UDP (user datagram protocol) is used as the underlying transport layer protocol. More than three fold improvement is observed when the number of referenced files is small. We observe a further improvement with (i) an increase in the number of referenced documents and (ii) an increase in bit error rate in the satellite environment.","PeriodicalId":260472,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications.

The relevant (downstream) ADSL modem at the central office is assumed to receive packets from different types of trunks, such as optical lines, copper cables and/or wireless links, or their concatenated version. From an information-theoretic point of view, this ADSL modem is modeled as a \"demultiplexer\" in the sense that it selects out a specific set of bits and assigns it to an appropriate subchannel consistent with the Hartley-Shannon law specified SNR-level of the subchannels. The pertinent analyses pursued in evaluating a subchannel allocation metric (SAM) refer to the following: microcellular-fed fiber with a specified BER as the incoming trunk on an ADSL system and FEXT-infested copper customer loop access lines. The resultant performance of downstream ADSL traffic on subchannels is ascertained by the metric, SAM.

However, networks with wireless and lossy links also suffer from significant packet losses due to random losses and handoffs. TCP responds to all the packet losses by invoking a congestion control algorithm and this results in degraded end-to-end performance in wireless and lossy links. In this paper, we suggest a strategy to determine the cause of packet drops in a wireless network running the TCP protocol. Our method is based on modification of explicit congestion notification (ECN) in TCP for wireless networks.","PeriodicalId":260472,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications.
