Antenna arrays and multiuser detectors have been considered to increase the system capacity through mitigation of such impairments. Multiuser detectors have the capability of eliminating MAI, the near-far problem and providing a significant capacity increase. In order to gain from the enhancements of both: multi-user detection and adaptive antenna, we propose in this paper to combine both schemes for an asynchronous WCDMA system. The performance of the combined scheme is evaluated for the uplink over the Gaussian channel and the UMTS frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. We make a comparison of the most promising multiuser structures and the recursive least square algorithm to control the beamformer.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

The main concern is in investigating their behavior when the communication channel has little energy in the beginning of its response. In our previous experiments, the equalizers' performance has not been satisfactory for such channels. All considered equalizers are based on a pseudo-inversion of a block-Toeplitz matrix. We study the effect of the channel precursor magnitude on the singular values of the matrix and consequently on the equalizer performance. For each algorithm, scatter plots are used to evaluate the success of the equalization under various conditions. We provide an explanation to the success or failure of the equalizers, based on the magnitude of the singular values.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

A heuristic algorithm for integrated link adaptation and power control is thus proposed to achieve specified error rates and to improve overall throughput for real-time applications in wireless IP networks. The algorithm divides terminals into groups according to their signal path gains, and periodically adapts transmissions based on the required error rates, actual error statistics and average transmission power of each terminal group. Transmission power is adjusted by an enhanced Kalman-filter method to ensure successful reception. Simulation results reveal that the algorithm consistently delivers the specified error performance, and attempts to maximize network throughput for a wide range of parameter settings.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

Our work has been specially oriented to the simulation and control of autonomous vehicles and pedestrians in the preparation of scenarios to driving simulation experiments in the DriS simulator. Because every element is intrinsically autonomous, only a few of them are usually addressed to implement the desired study event. Also, because our model is autonomous and controllable, we can use the same model in the implementation of both environment traffic and controlled vehicles. Our scripting language is based in Grafcet, a well known graphical language used in the specification and programming of industrial controllers. Our technique allows the imposition of both short time orders and long time goals to each autonomous element. Orders can be triggered reactively using sensors that monitor the state of virtual traffic and configurable timers that generate all the necessary fixed and variable time events.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.
