However, the filtering operation leads to some envelope fluctuation regrowth, increasing the PMEPR of the transmitted signals. In this paper we consider the repeated use, in an iterative way, of an envelope clipping and a frequency-domain filtering for low-PMEPR OFDM transmission with high spectral efficiency. Based on semi-analytical, statistical characterization of the transmitted frequency-domain blocks, a set of performance results is presented and discussed, showing that the proposed iterative technique can provide improved tradeoffs between power efficiency, spectral efficiency and implementation simplicity.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03.

Using only the spreading code of the user of interest and the received data, adaptive techniques are proposed that blindly identify the impulse response of the multipath channel. In particular, we develop RLS and LMS implementations that exhibit rapid convergence combined with low computational complexity. Both versions were inspired by the iterative power method used in numerical analysis to compute the singular vector corresponding to the largest singular value of a matrix. This is the reason why our schemes exhibit performance comparable to SVD off-line techniques while outperforming, significantly, existing adaptive methods proposed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03.

Individual applications and larger missions, such as those of tactical sensor networks, require secure data transmission among wireless devices. Security remains a major challenge for such networks. Current protocols employ encryption and authentication techniques for secure message exchange, but given the limitations and innately insecure nature of ad-hoc networks, such mechanisms may not suffice. A security breach can, for example, be a network-level denial-of-service (DoS) attack, passive eavesdropping, or physical layer jamming to degrade communication channels. In a multihop network, an intruder node can degrade communication quality by simply dropping packets that are meant to be relayed (forwarded). The network could then misinterpret the cause of packet loss as congestion instead of malicious activity. In this paper, we suggest that traffic transmission patterns be selected to facilitate verification by a receiver. Such traffic patterns are used in concert with suboptimal MAC that preserves the statistical regularity from hop to hop. This general technique for intrusion detection is therefore suitable for networks that are not bandwidth limited but have strict security requirements, e.g., certain kinds of tactical sensor networks.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03.

We evaluate the effect of mobility on highway mobile infostation networks. Each node enters a highway segment at a Poisson rate with a constant speed drawn from a known but arbitrary distribution. Both forward and reverse traffic are considered. For node speed that is uniformly distributed, the expected fraction of connection time, or expected number of connections in queueing terminology, is independent of observer node speed for reverse traffic, while it increases with observer node speed for forward traffic. We also extend our mobility model such that each node changes speed at each highway segment. The long run fraction of connection time of an observer node is dependent on the ratio of transmit range and connection time limit. Forward traffic connection yields better performance when the ratio is small and vice versa. We also compute the optimal transmit range and the corresponding data rate for both traffic types. We conclude that forward traffic connections yield much higher data rate in most scenarios.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03.

The scheme is called phase sweep transmit diversity (PSTD) and was originally proposed for power controlled dedicated voice channels. PSTD is shown to provide the benefits of beamforming without the requirement for channel or weight information feedback from the receiver to the transmitter. We evaluate the benefits of PSTD for two antenna configurations: (a) the so-called BF-2V configuration that encompasses two closely-spaced (/spl lambda//2) vertically polarized antenna columns: (b) the so-called DIV-2V antenna configurations, in which the two antenna columns are widely-spaced (10-20 /spl lambda/). When compared to selection transmit diversity (STD) and the baseline case of a single antenna transmission, PSTD offers significant gains for low-tier mobility users. In addition, the closely spaced antenna configuration produces consistently higher sector throughput as compared to the widely spaced configuration.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03.

In this paper, the system supports two QoS criteria, i.e., the system should keep the handoff dropping probability always less than a predefined QoS bound, while maintaining the relative priorities of different traffic classes in terms of blocking probability. To achieve this goal, a dynamic multiple-threshold bandwidth reservation scheme is proposed, which is capable of granting differential priorities to different traffic class and to new ad handoff traffic for each class by dynamically adjusting bandwidth reservation thresholds. Moreover, in times of network congestion, a preventive measure by use of throttling new connection acceptance is taken. Another contribution of this paper is to generalize the concept of relative priority, hence giving the network operator more flexibility to adjust admission control policy by incorporating some dynamic factors such as offered load. The elaborate simulation is conducted to verify the performance of the scheme.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03. IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (IEEE Cat.

Various simplifications are introduced in carrier/phase recovery and adaptive equalizer algorithms. For blind equalization, the multi-modulus algorithm (MMA) and its generalized version (GMMA) are very promising. They combine the benefits of the reduced constellation algorithm (RCA) and the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) (Yang, J. et al., IEEE J. Select. Areas Commun., vol.20, no.5, p.997-1015, 2002). We propose a low-complexity version of these algorithms by modifying the error function and applying the sign data LMS algorithm for coefficient adaptation. The proposed algorithms use fewer multiplication operations than conventional ones, and ensure a good rate of convergence with an acceptable steady state. Convergence analysis, in the mean sense, of the proposed algorithm is presented. For carrier/phase recovery, we propose an algorithm that has two modes of operation - acquisition and tracking. The overall proposed scheme is promising, especially for applications dealing with a high baud rate over a severe channel, such as VDSL systems, where the required number of taps for the equalizer is large. Computer simulations are presented to support our approach.","PeriodicalId":301154,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM '03. IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (IEEE Cat.
