While some macrodiversity techniques have been employed in modern cellular systems, techniques that employ combining have not been explored as a means of reducing interference in these systems. In CDMA, the use of more sophisticated techniques could significantly reduce multiple access interference and extend the capacity of current and next-generation systems. A novel combining technique based on macrodiversity is presented. The proposed system has been shown to provide significant capacity improvements in simulation, and shows significant promise as a cost-effective upgrade option to cellular service providers.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

In this paper, we consider the adaptive antenna of mobile communications under space-time adaptive processing (STAP), where user signals are of multipath rays with different delays, and the space-time correlation functions are employed instead of the conventional spatial correlation coefficients. The analysis results show that the array configuration has the significant effect on the associated space-time correlation functions, so as to play an important role in the STAP schemes. According to the results, a criterion is proposed to design unequally spaced linear arrays. Simulation results show that the STAP with well-designed unequally spaced linear arrays outperform the associated equally spaced linear arrays.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

By approximating the time variation (TV) of the temporally over-sampled channel as piecewise linear over appropriately selected detector windows, and by exploiting the finite alphabet property (FA) of the signals, the block-based blind joint detection of cochannel CPFSK (BJDFSK) algorithm estimates all cochannel signals and channels simultaneously. We study signal detectability and show that with a diversity antenna array of arbitrary number of elements, signals can be detected to within an equivalence set. Moreover, an efficient Viterbi-based implementation is presented, and its performance is demonstrated through simulation.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

Additionally, a variety of solutions are required to provide next-generation, highly-programmable technology solutions to eventually provide reliable, efficient, and secure communications of multimedia traffic over rapidly-deployable mobile adhoc networks to pave the way for seamless extension of the Internet. In this context, it is recognised that user location identification is considered by the service providers as one of the most value-added services for the end-users. The focus of the research in these areas is to allow protocol software and the location technology solutions to be integrated in a flexible manner into the mobile multimedia networks through API (application programming interface) framework. Various location strategies needed to be analysed to derive candidate solutions for integrated location management. In this paper, the background preparation to derive a separate smart antenna API is defined to eventually incorporate it into the distributed network architecture. Preliminary results from the real-data smart antenna experiments are examined to find out the efficacy of the technique. The all-IP architecture for transporting medical information is identified and discussions on user identification to implement advanced human tracking systems is proposed. These systems primarily deal with the problems associated with locating patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease and using multimedia applications and the man-machine interfaces to develop new patient care services.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

The results of before and after application of the frequency assignment are also discussed.
