Use of this SCE shows that manpower required for verification can be reduced. The paper mainly describes verification of service logic programs (SLPs), but verification of management logic programs (MLPs), and operation logic programs (OLPs) is also briefly described.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

By employing a novel coherent demodulator and an ADPCM codec with a click noise suppressor, 6dB higher-quality voice transmission has been realized in fading environments. Moreover, the novel circuit configurations of the modem, the ADPCM codec, the TDMA-TDD controller and the LAPDC controller make it possible to reduce significantly the power consumption of the baseband circuits of personal communication terminals.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

A residual-carrier arraying scheme, which is able to jointly (two or more antennas) track the carrier when the signal is too weak to be tracked by a single antenna, is proposed in this paper. Starting with the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the carrier phase of a sinusoid in white Gaussian noise, an open-loop MLE for estimating the carrier phase difference between several antennas and a reference antenna is proposed. The performance of this estimator is derived and is shown to be unbiased, and asymptotically efficient (the variance of the estimate error is given by the CRLB). Next, this residual carrier technique is illustrated in conjunction with baseband combining for PCM/BPSK/PM signal. The degradation in terms of symbol SNR and symbol error rate loss is derived based on imperfect synchronization assumptions. The results are verified by simulation for a given example.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

In case of synchronized sampling, this information is used to align the sampling clock of the receiver with the remote transmit clock. In nonsynchronized sampling systems, the sampling at the receiver is performed by means of a fixed free-running clock, and additional post-processing is necessary to perform timing correction in the digital domain. We investigate the effect of non-synchronized sampling on the BER performance of OFDM systems. We calculate the BER degradation caused by a given frequency offset between receiver and transmitter clock, as compared with the case of ideal sampling.

The author presents a modified round-robin scheduling discipline of this type, which uses the notion of \"credits\". This scheduler is analysed and shown to give improvements provided the input traffic obeys certain restrictions. It turns out that, the scheduler allows to guarantee a minimum rate for a virtual circuit (VC) at any switch, while also ensuring that higher-rate bursts of a limited length are properly handled. The scheduler is also \"self-policing\" in the sense that the long-term average rate allocated to the VC is kept dose to the guaranteed minimum. This, in turn, allows suitable rate allocations to be made for other (non delay-sensitive) VCs, and this rate can be guaranteed to such VCs. The analysis also provides a method of computing delay and jitter bounds which can be used to determine suitable parameters for call set-up, as part of the connection admission control.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

Specifically, the average bit error rate (BER) performance of M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) on correlated frequency-selective slow Rayleigh fading channel is analyzed. A two-branch diversity receiver with postdetection equal gain combining is considered. Nyquist pulse shaping is used and differential detection is employed at the receiver. The effects of cochannel interference on the system performance are assessed using a Gaussian interference model. To further enhance the system performance, the effects of combined diversity and forward error correction (FEC) coding on the average BER are investigated. Results using short cyclic block codes with perfect bit interleaving are obtained. The effects of the root mean square (RMS) delay spread, the amount of correlation, and the level of modulation, M, on the average BER are investigated in detail for both coded and uncoded systems. The results show that dual branch diversity combining with a correlation coefficient of 0.5 outperforms (in terms of BER) short block codes with perfect bit interleaving, and that combined diversity and coding strategies are effective in combatting the effects of frequency-selective fading.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The synchroniser uses a nonlinearity F(/spl rho/) to eliminate the influence of the data symbols and a window accumulator (WA) of length K to reduce the influence of the additive noise. For a given frequency offset /spl Delta/F, the window length K cannot be chosen arbitrarily large because increasing K reduces the useful component at the output of the averaging filter. The optimal (minimal linearized phase error variance) length K/sub opt/ of the WA is determined. This optimal value K/sub opt/ is a function of M,F(/spl rho/), /spl Delta/F and E/sub s//N/sub 0/. It is shown that, depending on the E/sub s//N/sub 0/-region under consideration, K/sub opt/ can be approximated by its asymptotic (low or high E/sub 8//N/sub 0/) value. The asymptotic value of K/sub opt/ for low E/sub s//N/sub 0/ depends on M and /spl Delta/F but is independent of F(/spl rho/).

In a rectangular constellation, the nonequal energy allocation is achieved by using different number of points along different dimensions. It is shown that the optimization procedure reduces to maximizing the determinant of an autocorrelation matrix subject to some linear constraints on its elements.
