In the paper, we propose two methods of channel extrapolation to compensate for the channel change. Futhermore, we also consider a method to reduce the amount of header signal and the computational complexity for the systems. We conducted MIMO measurement campaigns at a 5.2 GHz frequency band to evaluate the system performance. Simulation results based on the measured channel data show that robust bit-error rate performance can be obtained by using our channel prediction methods in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non- LOS environments. It is also shown that the method of reducing the amount of header signal and the computational complexity may be used in the practical implementation point of view.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125248106","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}

In order to avoid buffer overflows, different active queue management (AQM) methods may be applied at the BS. This paper presents an analysis of several AQM mechanisms and proves that they are indeed very useful: AQM reduces considerably DL delays at the WiMAX BS without sacrificing TCP goodput.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114604930","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 work complements these initial investigations by proposing and demonstrating the need to dimension such communication protocols not only based on the operating conditions but also on the vehicular context. By modifying the communication parameters based on the presence of nearby vehicles, the proposed context-based communications dimensioning reduces the risk of chain collisions.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128183747","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}

MAP, a control message about resource allocation, is broadcasted with high robustness and uses a great amount of radio resource for it. This paper also proposes an advanced scheme which transmits MAP IE, a component of MAP, piggybacked on data packets, and uses fast feedback to conserve the transmission reliability of the MAP IE. Then, MAP IEs can be transmitted with high data rate, and the amount of radio resource for transmitting MAP IEs becomes extremely small. Numerical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the MAC overhead.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129933507","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}

Generally, the tradeoff must be made between the frequency reuse factor and the inter-cell interferences during establishing frequency allocation scheme. A \"pre-configured and fixed (PreF)\" frequency allocation scheme has been proposed in [1]. In this paper, the concept of \"soft frequency reuse (SFR)\" in [2] is first borrowed, and applied to the multihop cellular network. After that, the improvement is made to the SFR scheme, and a more efficient \"modified SFR (MSFR)\" frequency allocation scheme is proposed. Through the simulations, it is demonstrated that, almost the same cell throughput can be achieved in the PreF and SFR schemes for the uniform traffic distribution, and the MSFR scheme can provide nearly twice cell throughput as large as that in the aforementioned two schemes. Moreover, the SFR and MSFR schemes both outperform the PreF scheme for the non-uniform traffic distribution because of the support to dynamic frequency resource allocation in the proposed schemes.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130751998","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}

TCP throughput, however, degrades over wireless links, which are characterized by a high and greatly varying bit error rate and by intermittent connectivity. Over such wireless links, the performance achieved by TCP can be improved through the use of cross-layer algorithms at the link-level, which interact with the TCP state machine. In this paper, a TCP-aware dynamic ARQ algorithm is therefore proposed, which utilizes TCP timing information to prioritize ARQ packet retransmissions. Numerical investigation of the proposed algorithm demonstrates the performance improvements that can be attained through this approach, in comparison with TCP-agnostic link-layer approaches.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130977729","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}
