The authors examine a starlite-like switching architecture for ATM applications. The switching architecture consists primarily of a Batcher sorting network and a Banyan switching network. A performance evaluation of the architecture, based on both analysis and simulation is carried out. A discrete time queuing analysis is utilized due to the slotted nature of the system. Cells (packets) that are unable to make it through the system due to contention for resources are queued in a central buffer and then recirculated. Performance measures such as mean queue length and cell loss probability are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130766117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of international committees are addressing this problem by proposing new digital transmission systems, claiming that in the long term spectrum will be utilized more effectively. The impetus for this research is the hypothesis that certain digital cellular systems utilize the allocated spectrum more efficiently than others. An extensive literature survey, conducted in order to shed some light on this particular subject, has yielded a sparsity of work addressing this issue, indicating a need for further research. The authors describe a study of the relative performance of different digital communication sytems (civilian or military) from the viewpoint of spectrum utilization. They also propose new techniques for the simulation of Rayleigh fading and for the accurate measurement of Doppler frequency shifts. It is confirmed that optimum spectrum efficiency is achieved by adopting digital narrowband access technology and diversity technique to mitigate the effects of multipath fading. Maximum efficiency performance is achieved at an optimum coding rate K = 80% for the diversity case; that is, a 13% improvement over the nondiversity case. It is also suggested that the European GSM system capacity is 6.5 times lower than the Japanese JDC system, and 5.5 times lower than the North American ADC system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126584236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IIR design is shown to provide better performance and be able to improve further (e.g., -1.4 dB in sidelobe levels per unit delay increase for a length-13 Barker sequence) by increasing delay. The performance parameters of this IIR inverse filter suggest a design criterion for sequences on which the filter operates, that is related to the roots of the sequence's Z transform polynomial. The optimal sequence derived according to this criterion is shown to provide sharper sidelobe reduction (-6 dB per unit delay increase for the optimal length-13 sequence).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127800679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While atmospheric absorption makes the frequency band near 60 GHz unsuitable for long-range communications systems, it does provide some very useful attributes for short-range links including frequency reuse, LPI/AJ features, and small size for mobile communications and command-on-the-move capability. Three hypothetical covert MMW wireless LAN configurations for mobile command post communications are presented and investigated. The performance of each configuration is analyzed in benign and hostile environments while operating in the 54 - 58 GHz frequency band. A MMW LAN is shown to have excellent AJ/LPI performance, especially at higher frequencies (near 58 GHz), and, for some of the options, to provide moderate link ranges, even in rainy conditions. The MMW LAN options presented are also shown to have a variety of other features which are advantageous for a command post, including command-on-the-move, rapid set-up and breakdown of the network, and the ability to disperse the command post far beyond what is possible using cable LANs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115536325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detection is maximum likelihood and is based on a partial-band noise/interference model and the assumption of slow fading. Rejection of interference is facilitated by processing in time and frequency domains. An implementation, allowing a data rate of 75 bits/s, which uses a PSK modulated carrier swept over a 3 kHz bandwidth is described in detail. Simulation results with carrier wave (CW) interference, multipath distortion, Gaussian and impulse noise conditions are presented, demonstrating the exceptional detection performance attainable.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117000185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although theoretical and simulation studies have been carried out on this, measurement equipment and techniques are required to analyze real ATM traffic and to compare the data with theoretical models. The authors describe equipment and methodologies being used in an ATM testbed. In this testbed, an ATM traffic analyzer generates ATM traffic based on a user-selectable statistical distribution. At the receiving end, the traffic analyzer produces performance metrics to validate ATM switch and network performance. The performance parameters being measured include ATM cell loss, cell delay, cell delay variation, and cell error for traffic with various priority levels.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124069239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
