Good STCM codes are obtained through computer searches that use both symmetric and asymmetric signal constellations.","PeriodicalId":278133,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM 1995 Mini","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129629353","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 this system all the users are divided into two groups according to the signal power. The paper assumes that the total channel traffic can be formulated as a Poisson stream and each user has a counter to update an estimate of the number of backlogged users in each group according to a quadruple feedback information provided about the information received during the current slot by the base station. This information is immediately available to each user in both groups. It is shown that the optimal channel utilisation which maximises the total channel throughput can be obtained if each individual user re-transmits packets with the probability identified by this paper. A heuristic analysis for the chain drift is presented to examine the system control parameter. The simulation results show that the proposed system provides improved throughput.","PeriodicalId":278133,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM 1995 Mini","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125480044","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}

Although the new receiver's structure and metric assume ideal channel state information (CSI), the receiver can be used wherever high-quality CSI is available. The receiver is maximum likelihood for a variety of channels, including Rician, Rayleigh, log-normal and AWGN channels. Bounds on the receiver's BER are deduced for ideal CSI and fast Rayleigh fading. The paper offers insight into matched filtering and receiver processing for the fast fading channel.

For any given data sequence length a performance range for optimal detection can be identified: this range is lower bounded by the optimal receiver with perfect CSI and upper bounded by that without CSI. For increasing data sequence lengths, this range becomes narrower, since the performance of the two optimal receivers tends to converge to a common level. As a consequence, the performance of the optimal detector can be inferred and compared to that of practical receivers based on per-survivor processing (PSP).","PeriodicalId":278133,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM 1995 Mini","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128148269","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 has the consequence of a reduced channel availability and, hence, a degraded quality of service. From the system point of view, this leads to an increase in traffic that the system has to cope with. The present paper addresses this problem by introducing the term \"virtual traffic\" into the queueing model for the radio channels. By this means the quality of a nondeterministic channel, such as those of mobile and wireless communications, is taken into account. The result leads to a generalization of the Erlang-B formula for channels with nondeterministic quality and, as such, can be used for network design in mobile and wireless communications.","PeriodicalId":278133,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of GLOBECOM 1995 Mini","volume":"397 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133509713","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}
