It is proved that PIC lead to good profits especially when the CS technique is used together, because these systems subtract the MAI estimated for each user. These estimates improve when the ISI is cancelled, since the MAI estimated depends upon the estimate of the transmitted symbols by each interfering user. Additionally, it considers the blind detection (without knowledge of spreading sequences nor the features of the channels of the interfering users) with a noise whitening matched filter (NWMF) that combats the MAI through the whitening of the interfering power spectrum (following the single-user philosophy).","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

Finally, it is confirmed by computer simulation that MCC-LVEs can cope with the path diversity gain at relatively small hardware complexity in the presence of wide spread ISI and MCC-LVEs with diversity reception improve the packet error rate (PER) performance even if there exist large number of effective fading paths.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

Thereafter, an approximate maximum-likelihood estimator that jointly estimate the channel gain, the codewords and the delay is used. Using the derived algorithm we show that it is in fact possible to estimate the delay in a code-spread system.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

The technique proposed is the implementation of a M-level QAM scheme in association with a novel fade estimation and compensation technique. A half-pilot symbol assisted modulation scheme, HP-SAM, a Reed-Solomon error correction coding as well as a non-uniform partitioning of the signal constellation are also used. They result in considerable improvements in the bit and frame error rate performance. It is essential that the video is encoded with high compression rate. In this paper, we also propose a highly efficient interframe coding technique that uses transmission via separate channels, each having differing degrees of error protection. The main focus of this paper is on the transmission aspects of the scheme and the performance enhancement they can provide. The codec is currently under development.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.

One such service is the location service. This may be used to provide location information for subscriber services (e.g. summon a taxi to the subscriber's current location), for \"emergency services\" (e.g. summon medical assistance to the subscriber's location) and to assist the mobile network's internal operations (e.g. location dependent handover). Technology is rapidly developing in this area, both within the mobile networks and outside (e.g. satellite GPS). A client server architecture provides an efficient and flexible design that can accommodate both the growth in service requirements and the changes in technology that will occur within the mobile networks. As the service and the technology develop, the measurement process and the servers may be upgraded to introduce new capabilities. In this way the network operator is assured of maintaining the most efficient and up-to-date capabilities and technology for the services within their network. This paper reviews the client server architecture and operations developed within the 3GPP UTRAN \"third generation\" mobile standards and their applications to future communications networks.","PeriodicalId":318880,"journal":{"name":"VTC2000-Spring. 2000 IEEE 51st Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings (Cat.
