We describe efficient minimum mean square error (MMSE) frequency domain equalization (FDE) iterative turbo packet combining techniques for cooperative ARQ, and show that they outperform conventional log-likelihood ratio (LLR)-based turbo combining.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132635157","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 is a necessary passage towards the world of simplicity and convergence offered by new technologies and those to come. In this article, we show that the current evolution of communications networks tends towards the adoption of IP technology and QoS support from end to end. In this context, we demonstrate that IP / MPLS networks need to have a QoS architecture sufficiently mature to support the management of priority in terms of delay, jitter and loss rate required by the services. Thus, we propose a mapping between the classes of services 3G and the DiffServ model for transport IP/MPLS network, and prove the excellence of quality guaranteed network.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128737344","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}

A few years ago, a waveguide filled by metamaterials with negative parameters was proposed in order to achieve such perfect tunneling behaviour. The aim of this communication is to both analyze and visualize in the time domain a structure presenting both a plasmonic resonance and perfect tunneling behaviour. This work is carried out by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) formulation presented in. As shown here, a waveguide filled with a dispersive material is necessary, but it is not mandatory for this material to be DNG. In addition, the main advantage of the FDTD formulation used here is that it is able to directly incorporate any arbitrary high-order frequency dependence of the constitutive parameters, allowing a realistic characterization of high-order dispersive materials.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131173600","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 case of a fourth-order filter, the usual quadruplet structure leads to two transmission zeros located one on each side of the passband, but higher attenuation can be obtained for one of the two adjacent channels by designing filters with two transmission zeros in the same (upper or lower) stopband. The new topology investigated in this paper offers the possibility of designing such quadruplets with two transmission zeroes situated both on the same side of the passband, in prescribed and controlled positions. Filters with this novel structure can provide very high attenuation not only at a single frequency, but in a larger adjacent frequency band.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115109454","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}
