Effects of power control error on the performance of spread ALOHA protocols 功率控制误差对扩展ALOHA协议性能的影响

{"title":"Effects of power control error on the performance of spread ALOHA protocols","authors":"V. Mpako, F. Takawira","doi":"10.1109/COMSIG.1998.736939","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/COMSIG.1998.736939","url":null,"abstract":"The works that have been published on spread slotted ALOHA systems have assumed that power control errors are lognormally distributed. The analytical models that these works have produced have shown that the power control errors cause a reduction in the channel capacity (maximum throughput). On the other hand, the research done in slotted ALOHA systems has shown that differences in the received powers of packets contending for a common receiver lead to the capture effect. The capture effect is known to improve the channel capacity, packet delay and other important performance measures. This paper, motivated by these apparent uncertainties, examines the effects of power control errors in a spread-spectrum slotted ALOHA system using a single threshold in a channel-load-sensing scheme. The system assumes a finite population of data users that have variable length messages. The performance of the system with perfect and imperfect power control is examined through simulations. The capacity for systems with both perfect and imperfect power control is compared.","PeriodicalId":294473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing-COMSIG '98 (Cat.

This paper investigates the feasibility of using a fuzzy logic technique to adapt the MMSE detector for the suppression of narrow-band interference (NBI). The fuzzy logic adaptation (FLA) technique is described and its performance is compared to the least-mean-square (LMS) and the recursive-least-square (RLS) adaptive algorithms. It is found that the fuzzy logic technique considered gives a performance improvement over the conventional and adaptive algorithm, while it fails to match the performance of the RLS adaptive algorithm.","PeriodicalId":294473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing-COMSIG '98 (Cat.

Numerous image-processing techniques were tested on the data as a means of enhancing these palaeo-channels for detection. A comparison is made with Landsat TM imagery, and fusion of the two data sets is also assessed as an exploration tool. The main conclusion reached was that the penetration depth of the microwave radiation was not sufficient for the radar to be a significantly more useful tool in this particular environment; an environment where the channels have been buried to a depth greater than a few metres, and where the climate cannot be considered to be hyper-arid. The texture discrimination capabilities of the radar were more useful in this case study than any ground penetration that might have occurred.","PeriodicalId":294473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing-COMSIG '98 (Cat.

Remote sensing data can be incorporated into a geographic information system (GIS) which can be used as a tool for the management of riparian zones. In this paper, vegetation identification and classification techniques, such as aerial videography, aerial photography and satellite imagery, are identified and assessed in terms of accuracy for a small subcatchment in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands. This was achieved by incorporating the data obtained from different data sources into a GIS. Accuracies of the different techniques were then examined. The accuracy results obtained in this study indicate that using manual techniques to identify riparian vegetation from 1:10000 black-and-white aerial photographs yields the most accurate results.","PeriodicalId":294473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing-COMSIG '98 (Cat.
