Signal separability is obtained using both the relative timing delay between signals and the decoded bits output from the channel decoder. Cancellation after decoding results in more reliable signal subtraction, at the expense of interleaving delay. Simulation results show that a small number of iterations is required when ideal channel knowledge is assumed. Soft subtraction, where the estimated values are weighted with some reliability measure, leads to significant C/I gains for both coded and uncoded bits.","PeriodicalId":291027,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Emerging Technologies Symposium on Broadband, Wireless Internet Access.

The design and fabrication, in high volume, of these transceiver units presents many challenges. Procurement of thousands of units demands a very robust, low cost design that can simultaneously meet the system requirements. The digital modulation format of modern communication systems demands better transmitter and receiver performance in the areas of linearity, phase noise, spurious emissions and amplitude flatness. Design parameters such as linearity and spurious responses are second or third order effects that are difficult to predict and control. Production of large quantities of units will result in a wide Gaussian distribution of performance which demands large margins relative to the specifications to maintain high test yields. Individual tuning of each unit would be time consuming and uneconomical. Potential design solutions to these issues are discussed along with the cost tradeoffs inherent in the different designs.","PeriodicalId":291027,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Emerging Technologies Symposium on Broadband, Wireless Internet Access.

This bandwidth range is not effectively served by copper or fiber optic networks. Key technical characteristics of a primary communication network are that it be reliable, maintainable, generally accessible, easy to deploy, cost effective, etc. This paper addresses a solution for dense deployment, which is related to the key issue of accessibility. Common questions in wireless networks are \"can the customer be reached?\" and \"will the performance be adequate?\" Technical issues are system gain versus distance and interference control for dense deployment. This paper provides in-depth analysis of interference control by studying the impact of antenna patterns, different transmit power control schemes, frequency assignment and polarization. In conclusion, consecutive point networks should be able to provide broadband communication service to any medium to large buildings in any city.","PeriodicalId":291027,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Emerging Technologies Symposium on Broadband, Wireless Internet Access.

The results show that TX AA obtains substantial gain over open loop diversity, especially when 4 elements are used.

For mobile systems, the benefits are increased capacity from existing cell sites, maximum return on infrastructure investment, and improved network efficiency and performance. In mobile systems, all the benefits for base-to-mobile and mobile-to-base paths occur as a result of smart antennas being installed at the base site. For fixed wireless systems, smart antennas are practical for both the base station and the remote station (RS). This paper discusses the increase in throughput that is realized by using smart antenna technology in a fixed wireless system. The management of packet transmission and reception, a key component of maximizing capacity, is described. Also included is a discussion of the user benefits and capacity impact of smart antennas at a remote station.","PeriodicalId":291027,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Emerging Technologies Symposium on Broadband, Wireless Internet Access.

This paper evaluates a slotted Aloha channel with receiver antenna diversity; packets are transmitted in randomly selected time slots. The packet success-rate is studied as it relates to the carrier to noise plus interference ratio observed in each received branch. The ReFLEX Aloha channel is simulated under slow moving fading. A single cell's throughput, packet success-rate and mean number of transmission attempts per packet are presented from the simulation. The results show that as the transmission retry limit increases, the Aloha throughput decreases and the packet reliability increases. Based on these results, the number of retries can be selected to maximize the throughput for a given packet reliability. Other performance metrics such as the mean number of transmissions and mean packet delay are presented. Although the simulation results are specific to ReFLEX systems, the analysis methods and the system optimization approach can he applied to other Aloha systems.","PeriodicalId":291027,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Emerging Technologies Symposium on Broadband, Wireless Internet Access.
