In this paper, we propose a novel approach for MAC design that practically eliminates collisions and significantly increases the bandwidth utilization. The key element of this approach is the CDMA multiuser detection technology that allows receiving several signals in parallel without inflicting self-interference. These features give a promise of significant performance improvements. The main goal of this paper is to assess the range of this gain when compared to other existing alternatives. In particular, we compare the performance of the proposed multiuser detection based MAC design with MAC design based on IEEE 802.11 concept and with MAC design based on multi-code CDMA with one signal reception by one user at a time.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"167 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":"132293450","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}

We verified the prediction of the future value of the trend in the NAV time series; based on an auto-regressive model (AR model) and using captured data within a real environment. Based on the results of the verification, we show that prediction based on the AR model with suitable parameters is applicable in comparison when the average of the last 10 samples is used as a predicted value and the case where prediction is not applied.

This measurement is particularly difficult since the thermal noise power floor is unobservable when using power measurements in a single base station. The problem is due to the neighbor cell interference. The paper proposes a work around, using a novel algorithm for soft Bayesian estimation of a conditional probability distribution of the minimum of filtered power samples, this minimum approximating the thermal noise power floor of the digital receiver. The load can then be estimated from the total wideband power of the cell and the estimated minimum. The discretized conditional pdf is one-dimensional - hence the algorithm has a low complexity.

The frequency reuse scheme is adopted in UCR, while macro-diversity strategy is used in CCR. Then the ergodic capacity of TCCS based on this frequency reuse plan in multi-cell environment is investigated. Per-antenna maximum transmit power constraint is presumed in power allocation.

The design of the Bayesian MUD advocated is based on extending the optimum single-user Bayesian design to multiuser OFDM signals modeled by a Gaussian mixture, rather than by a single Gaussian distribution, when characterizing the conditional PDF of the received signal. In order to reduce the complexity of the Bayesian MUD, we introduce an a priori information threshold and then discard the low- probability terms during the calculation of the extrinsic information generated . The achievable complexity reduction as a function of different threshold values is analyzed and the best tradeoff values are derived with the aid of simulation. Both non-systematic and recursive systematic convolutional codes are used for exchanging extrinsic information with the MUD for the sake of achieving a turbo-detection aided iteration gain. The convergence behavior of the proposed low-complexity Bayesian turbo MUD is investigated using Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart analysis and compared to that of Soft Interference Cancellation aided Minimum Mean Square Error (SIC-MMSE) MUD schemes. As expected, the simulation results show that the proposed low-complexity Bayesian Turbo MUD outperforms the SIC-MMSE MUDs. A substantial benefit of the proposed MUD is that it is potentially capable of supporting up to three times higher number of users than the number of receiver antennas. In this challenging multiuser scenario, the resultant channel- matrix becomes rank-deficient, resulting in a linearly non-separable detector output phasor constellation, when classic linear receivers tend to exhibit a poor performance.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"113 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":"124148284","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}

However, since the individual APs composing such a network are typically owned and operated by different users, the achievable performances are likely to be limited by the lack of coordination. By adopting an Inter AP communication Protocol (IAPP) that allows APs to collaborate in exchanging messages about the information requested by potentially incoming users, the APs are capable to start caching information, even before the users reach their communication ranges. In a multi-user scenario, in which the backbone capacity limits the performances of the APs, a set of distributed backbone resource management schemes, differing in their degrees of collaboration between APs and their mobility-awareness, are proposed and evaluated in respect to both a centralized caching server solution and a non cooperative scheme. The results show that, at the cost of increased memory requirements, collaborative caching brings significant improvements to both backbone capacity utilization and average user rates, as compared to the non cooperating scheme. At the same time, we show that for a centralized server solution to outperform our collaborative caching scheme, the central server needs to have a backbone capacity comparable to sum of the capacities of the individual APs deployed in the service area.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"5 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":"124149194","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}
