This happens as a result of a high rate supplemental channel (SCH) being allocated and deallocated to the user in a bursty manner. This swing of physical layer rates can have an adverse effect on the end-end TCP operation, i.e., this rate variation can cause TCP timeouts and retransmissions even though no packet was lost on the physical layer. In this paper, we study this effect in detail. First, we propose a simple model for TCP over cdma2000. Using this model and subsequent analysis, we study the effects of different TCP parameters and different burst parameters (rate and duration) on the operation of TCP. We perform extensive lab tests to investigate how different TCP parameters and physical layer data rates affect the TCP throughput. Although the studies are done for a cdma2000 system, the results and conclusions hold in general for any system running TCP over a physical layer with varying bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":272763,"journal":{"name":"The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference, 2003.

Based on this receiver structure, we present two techniques to improve the performance and reduce the complexity of channel equalization. One is a new cost function, which achieves faster convergence to adapt time variation of the channels. The other is termed a prior ISI reduction scheme, which reduces ISI before equalization and in turn leads to low-complexity equalization. The performance of our algorithms is confirmed by the mean square error (MSE) analysis and computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":272763,"journal":{"name":"The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference, 2003.

A mismatch between the BLER and the target SIR usually results since the actual and assumed channel conditions are rarely the same. This mismatch tends to be especially large at very low BLERs. The OLPC depends on cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) and often takes a long time to converge to the required target SIR for low target BLERs. In this paper, a channel-adaptive algorithm is presented that controls the target SIR for downlink transmission in WCDMA TDD. The proposed algorithm characterizes the multipath channel profile using predefined multipath channel patterns and compensates for the channel/mapping errors. Link level simulations are conducted in various channel conditions defined by 3GPP and the ITU. The comparison in performance between the channel-adaptive algorithm and the generic \"jump algorithm\" is illustrated and conclusions are drawn.","PeriodicalId":272763,"journal":{"name":"The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference, 2003.

The analysis extends the previously published work by Adachi [F. Adachi, Nov. 1997], which assumes ideal channel estimation and multipath tracking. For the analytical expressions a particular channel estimation technique was taken into account and a practical pilot symbol assisted technique was used to derive the channel estimation error. By combining both, the performance degradation due to multiple access interference (MAI) and due to channel estimation errors, an easy to use conditional SINR is derived. Assuming BPSK data modulation for simplicity, the downlink performance in terms of the average BER-vs.-SINR was evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulation for different PDPs. It could be shown that the performance severely depends on the power distribution of the multipath components and the available number of pilot symbols, which determines the reliability of the estimated channel necessary to perform coherent demodulation.","PeriodicalId":272763,"journal":{"name":"The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference, 2003.

In the OFDM transmission, the excess delay causes both inter-symbol interference (ISI) to the adjacent OFDM symbols and inter-carrier interference (ICI) within the same symbol. The proposed equalizer consists of the decision feedback equalizer for ISI cancellation and the low-complexity turbo equalizer for ICI cancellation. The latter consists of an ICI canceller, the optimal detection filter and a MAP detector. The iterative joint processing of the equalization and the decoding can effectively reduce ICI. Moreover, an ISI combiner is introduced so as to exploit the signal energy leaked to the next symbol. Computer simulations for the 5 GHz wireless LAN outdoor applications show that the proposed OFDM equalizer can effectively cancel both ISI and ICI, and that its performance is much better than that of the conventional coherent detector.","PeriodicalId":272763,"journal":{"name":"The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference, 2003.
