The orthogonality of the users is lost in multipath channels causing multiple access interference in the system. To suppress the interference in the downlink, it has been proposed to utilize linear channel equalization to partially restore the orthogonality of the users' spreading codes. The well-known LMMSE equalizer, however, may be computationally too involved for practical applications. This is why adaptive solutions am preferred. In this paper, a novel adaptive approach for linear estimation and equalization is presented. Contrary to many other techniques, the applied blind adaptive algorithm can be used without changes also in multi antenna transmission systems, such as space-time coded transmission, and with long scrambling codes. The performance of the new adaptive LMMSE receiver is evaluated in a complete UTRA FDD downlink simulator and is compared to conventional RAKE receiver.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

It employs a RAKE receiver to exploit multipath diversity. This paper discusses a new dimension in DS-CDMA channel estimation i.e., chip-level adaptive channel estimation. The DL channel of an IMT-DS system consists of time-multiplexed pilot and data symbols to facilitate coherent detection. To obtain channel estimates during pilot symbols, we propose a chip level adaptive channel estimation which performs better than the conventional method. For slow fading channels, like a pedestrian channel, zero order interpolation provides satisfactory performance. However, for fast fading channels, a common decision directed algorithm is applied whose performance is limited due to error propagation. The proposed schemes are assessed over the IMT-DS system by performing simulations.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

This problem is not the same as those unfairness problems reported before. In each of the cases we identified, the one TCP connection is completely shut down, even if it starts much earlier than the competing TCP traffic. By illustrating the TCP layer and MAC layer traces, we show that this kind of unfairness problem is rooted in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer. The hidden node problem and the exposed node problem along with the exponential back-off scheme in the MAC layer are the major causes for that problem.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

On the forward link there are at least two base stations involved in the soft handoff process, where each base station supports a forward link channel to the mobile, this produce capacity gain by macrodiversity and produce capacity loss due to the use of extra channels. In this paper the losses of soft and softer handoff on the forward-link capacity for unsectorized and sectorized cells due to the use of at least two BSs in the handoff process are evaluated analytically. We follow two approaches, the deterministic approach and the random approach (considering shadowing) and we take into account the IS-95 standard. We obtain that the capacity loss is approximately from 13% to 25% depending of propagation parameters values and handoff threshold.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

By sending four consecutive power control commands/measurement reports-instead of one-in the four bursts reserved for the slow associated control channel (SACCH), the system capacity can be increased by 10% for slow mobiles, and by 40% for fast mobiles. This gain is obtained with relatively small changes in the standard. The power control signaling is robust enough to handle low C/I situations. By simultaneously modifying its channel coding, the performance of the SACCH can be improved.

Compared to various other approaches, the proposed approach significantly reduces the complexity of the model by reducing the computing states. Based on this model, the location update rate and dwell time can be easily derived. The regular Markov chain and the property of combining states are applied to derive the number of location updates and a modified absorbing Markov chain property can be used to derive the dwell time. Analytical performance results of the model were validated by simulation. Results show the relative error between analytical and simulation performances are within 1%. This is the first model of its kind that can be used for studying area-crossing rates.

Simulations show the large influence of cables and their exact curvature on the radiation properties of mobile terminals that are small with respect to the wavelength. These results are confirmed by measurements in an anechoic chamber. As corrections for these almost irreproducible influences are hardly feasible, we propose to omit conducting cables completely. Instead, optical fibres are used for transparent transport of the RF signals. Off-the-shelf system components allow for two channels in a box of size comparable to modern small terminals. When driven at an appropriate level this set-up shows ample dynamic range for mobile radio channel sounding.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

We consider a situation where a server transfers stored video and audio streams to a terminal with point-to-point communication. Both FEC and ARQ are adopted as error control schemes. The slide control scheme is used for media synchronization control. We examine how the interference from DSSS systems affects the quality. For simplicity of experiment, we suppose that the Bluetooth terminal does not move while the media streams are transferred, i.e., fading does not occur. In the experiment, we evaluated several performance measures such as mean square error of intra-stream synchronization. We then found that delay jitters caused by retransmission of DM1 packets disturbed temporal relations of the streams. We also observed that the media synchronization control is effective in compensating for the disturbance.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.
