Landmark","doi":"10.1109/ISWCS.2007.4392375","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISWCS.2007.4392375","url":null,"abstract":"Simplified multicast forwarding (SMF) provides an optimized flooding mechanism in MANET environments to efficiently propagate multicast packets. The main difference between the SMF and traditional multicast routing is that no multicast tree is built and maintained, and no group membership management is needed. Therefore all the nodes in MANET receive the multicast information. However, a multicast border gateway is required in a MANET to interoperate with other multicast routing protocols in the wired domain as SMF does not make use of traditional multicast method. We propose a MANET SMF gateway implementation solution that addresses the issues encountered within the gateway configuration, such as interaction with the protocol independent multicast protocol (PIM). We will present the results of a tested single-gateway MANET implementation, and will also introduce a proposal for the multiple-gateway scenario. In the IETF MANET working group, the SMF design group also presents proposals for handling multiple gateways; they recommend to apply a <taggerID> to the multicast traffic when multiple gateways are injecting a flow into a MANET area. However this approach implies that equal multicast packets disseminated into the MANET by different gateways have different taggerlD, and hence these packets cannot be detected as duplicates. Our approach differs by preferring the use of hashing by the gateways for marking equal packets injected into the MANET, hence making these equal packets compliant for duplicate detection. This article demonstrates a successful implementation of the gateway functionality and extends its analysis by proposing a solution for the multiple-gateway configuration.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121599298","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}

Among the receivers presented here, the differential space-time block code deterministic de-prefix combined (D-Det-DP-C) receiver shows the best performance. Since DSTBC-WCDMA is a differential modulation scheme, the best performance is obtained under the condition that the receiver has complete information regarding the interferers to minimize the effect of multipath and multi-user interference.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121960894","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}

Both techniques can be combined. In comparison to previously published detectors, both techniques allow for fixed low complexity that is independent of the SNR. For PSS, a local slicer carries out P tentative decisions on possible symbols based on the symbol alphabet A of size |A|. Only for the P symbols closest in Euclidean distance to the received symbol soft estimate, branch metrics are computed, the remaining |A|-P symbols are dropped. M survivors are retained at each stage. In addition, we show that the previously proposed MMSE QRD- M algorithm (MQRD-M algorithm) has an error floor at high SNR. We show that DLP improves the QRD-M algorithm and outperforms the MQRD-M algorithm. In comparison to MQRD-M algorithm, neither the noise variance needs to be estimated, nor a prefilter (which would require a matrix inversion) is needed. Further, in order to take into account the different strengths of the layers, we propose to partition an available fixed number of branches in relation to the SNR of the layers. The proposed PSS technique is improved by this approach. DLP and PSS significantly lower the complexity. For 16-QAM modulation in a 4 times 4 MIMO system, e.g., the number of branches using the proposed PSS technique is 31.25% of the ordinary QRD-M algorithm if M = 16. With DLP used together with PSS, M can be lowered further, so that with 10.2% of the branches of QRD-M algorithm, only a small loss of 1 dB occurs.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131695659","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 permits the search to be focused into successive ordered subspaces. The proposal greatly reduces the number Euclidian distances need to be calculated replacing it by memory usage for back tracing candidate vectors. Thus, this tool enables further pruning the search tree when using a sphere decoder. The receiver starts by quantizing both the received vector and the lattice points and then defines a neighbourhood around the cell containing the received vector. If needed, the neighbourhood is extended to a larger Manhattan distance. Conversely, dense clusters of lattice points are resolved by increasing the quantization bits per dimension. The paper describes the probability density functions (pdf) of the lattice components and presents numerical results for the pdf of the number of lattice points that are candidates to be evaluated in a subsequent block based on Euclidean distances. All the results are for the frequency flat fast fading channel.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124214497","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 analytical formulation of the channel estimation MSE for the single-user downlink scenario with a generic channel estimation scheme for a given power efficiency is presented. The attained results go beyond the commonly accepted rule of thumb that suggests that an oversampling factor of two will result in a good trade-off between performance and pilot overhead. The analytical formulation was validated by system simulations. A scenario using the 2-D LS-DFT channel estimation scheme confirmed the analytical result. The lowest channel estimation MSE for a given value of power efficiency is achieved when the pilot density is the one that closely fulfils the 2-D sampling theorem.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124109826","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}
