We present mechanisms to manage end-to-end QoS, including mobile end-systems and IP based wireless access networks (i.e. the BRAIN access network, BAN) in the transmission path. This includes the possible impact of mobility on QoS issues. Supporting QoS in mobile environments is hard to achieve because of potential handovers (horizontal and vertical) and error rate patterns of wireless links in contrast to fixed networks. To solve this issue, QoS signalling and adaptation mechanisms are required. We propose to build upon the BRAIN QoS framework and the BRain ENd Terminal Architecture (BRENTA), which provides the end-system functionality to manage QoS end-to-end from the users and applications point of view. We also show how admission control is embedded in the overall scenario and draft several protocol variants for an end-to-end negotiation of QoS that integrates local resource management and adaptation path strategies derived from users' QoS requirements.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

BPSK systems using turbo-codes over an AWGN channel with unknown phase are investigated. The phase recovery and turbo-decoding is implemented jointly and iteratively. The phase error can be corrected up to 82/spl deg/. The decoding can be made robust against phase uncertainty. The results show that this joint method gives a great improvement over the traditional techniques, which implement separate synchronisation prior to feeding the signal to the decoder. A further improvement of this method is also proposed, which can remove most of the phase errors completely or recover any phase error over 2/spl pi/ although it sacrifices some performance.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

Third-generation mobile communication systems (IMT-2000 and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS) will deliver voice, graphic, video, and other broadband information directly to the user, regardless of location, network, or terminal. Fourth generation systems promise to extend this even further, providing integrated, seamless services over heterogeneous networks, with higher spectral efficiency and at lower price. The concept of context-awareness involves, to start with, the need to determine and deliver the geographic location of wireless terminals and devices to provide the personalized, customized service the user wants. Most of the currently proposed positioning solutions address specific wireless technologies and short-term market requirements and lack interoperability, simplicity, long-term evolution paths and sometimes the support of major manufacturers and operators. On the other hand, while user devices and interfaces have progressed, Internet transport and communications architecture still utilize legacy solutions and protocols that are often the real cause of traffic congestion and security problems. This paper examines the drivers and issues surrounding the development of mobile Internet-based services and the availability of location information from the wireless networks, independent of their air interfaces and positioning technologies, including the requirements for security, billing, and interoperability, in the context of a comparative analysis of existing and proposed location-positioning technologies and systems. Based on this survey, personalized, context-aware and location-based value-added services (VAS) emerge as an essential ingredient of the killer application cocktail for the next-generation Internet.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

In this paper, we provide a framework through which an efficient procedure can be developed for dimensioning mixed LCD traffic on the downlink in a WCDMA cellular network. In particular, we develop a pole condition that can be used to estimate capacity and the Node B power requirements. Unlike previous works, we characterise the out-of-cell to in-cell interference and the path loss observed in each cell through geometric considerations, rather than performing reference simulations. Moreover, we introduce a simple test that determines whether or not the channelisation code requirements can be supported within each cell, following the calculation of the downlink capacity/power requirements.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

Although performance evaluation of these kinds of LAN is being extensively discussed in the current literature, most of these studies are analytical or simulation-based and they do not consider the influence of channel impairments or link quality over network throughput. After an exhaustive measurement campaign, different performance parameters such as throughput, goodput, effective goodput, frame error rate, IT loss rate, delay and jitter have been obtained. This could be a preliminary analysis of the behavior of real-time traffic over WLAN infrastructures, such as streaming audio and voice transmission, services that are expected to undergo substantial growth in the coming years. All these studies and results have been developed in the context of the WINE (Wireless Internet Networks) project belonging to the framework of the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme, addressed to enhancing the performance of TCP/IP protocol over WLAN such as IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth and HIPERLAN/2.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.

The evaluated admission control algorithm allows access to radio resources based on a filtered version of transmitted power at a base station. It takes advantage of the suggested prediction mechanism of the future transmitted power and is capable of handling access requests of different service classes. Comparisons with both a reference scenario and basic admission control are included as well. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm can exploit the resource allocation flexibility of power limited systems especially well where propagation conditions introduce heavy spatial non-uniformity. In fact in the simulated urban scenario, the capacity gain, introduced by the proposed algorithm, is shown to be more than doubled compared to the uniform environment case. In addition, it is shown that the algorithm, working with different kinds of services, can maintain almost the same traffic mix, regardless of the absolute system load.","PeriodicalId":318292,"journal":{"name":"12th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications.
