Data-Partitioned (DP) H.264 source coded video is used to evaluate the performance of our system employing an iterative combination of RSM assisted soft-bit source decoding (SBSD) and recursive systematic convolution codes (RSC) for transmission over correlated narrowband Rayleigh fading channels. EXIT Charts were utilised to analyse the effect of redundancy using different RSM schemes on the attainable system performance, while keeping the overall bit-rate budget constant. Explicitly, our experimental results show that the proposed error protection scheme using RSM$_2^6$ with $d_{H,min}=4$ outperform the RSM$_2^3$ scheme having $d_{H,min}=2$ by about $5~dB$, which in turn outperforms the RSM$_5^6$ scheme having an identical $d_{H,min}$ and overall system code-rate by about $2~dB$ at the $PSNR$ degradation point of $2~dB$. Additionally, an $E_b/N_0$ gain of $20~dB$ is attained using iterative soft-bit source and channel decoding with the aid of RSM$_2^3$ relative to the identical-rate benchmarker.","PeriodicalId":325246,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 71st Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127846698","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}

IC alternates the priorities for user transmission periods throughout the network to achieve reduced interference levels and higher performance. A large variety of combinations including, e.g., different schedulers, cell center/edge user definitions (user splits) and interference targets are investigated in this paper. Performance is analyzed using a quasi-static system level simulator which is also used to support Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization work. The simulator contains detailed and commonly accepted models, for instance, for channel profiles, fading and propagation. The study indicated that IC can bring gain in certain scenarios. However, the gain comes at the expense of fairness leading to users that already have high throughput benefiting from the situation. Moreover, it was shown that the major part of the gain comes from splitting users to different groups and scheduling these groups without any network wide interference coordination.","PeriodicalId":325246,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 71st Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124127618","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}

In time-varying channels such as those experienced in vehicular networks, these models are assumed valid as long as the packet duration is less than the coherence time of the channel. The coherence time is a statistical measure of the channel invariance. It is independent of the signal parameters or the receiver structure. While it is convenient to decouple the system performance from the channel, this paper shows that this simplification may lead to inaccurate performance assessments and erroneous conclusions. This paper suggests a new metric, the normalized empirical coherence time (NETC), based on results from an extensive simulation campaign of a typical IEEE 802.11p system. The NETC delineates the minimum time (as a percentage of signal duration) over which the system achieves some performance threshold. The metric is explicitly a function of modulation, packet duration, and the traditional coherence time. This new metric could be used in place of the traditional coherence time as a constraint on the packet duration necessary to assume channel variation has negligible impact on performance.","PeriodicalId":325246,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 71st Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114572010","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}

Most of the researches emphasize on minimizing the end-to-end delay without paying attention to reducing the usage of radio. This paper focuses on delay-bounded routing, whose goal is to deliver messages to the destination within user-defined delay and minimize the usage of radio. The messages can be delivered to the destination by the hybrid of data muling (carried by the vehicle) and forwarding (transmitted through radio). In the existing protocol, a vehicle may only switch the delivery strategy (muling or forwarding) at an intersection according to the available time of the next block. To improve previous works, our protocol uses linear regression to predict the available time and the travel distance and thus the vehicle can switch to a proper delivery strategy at a proper moment and can reduce the number of relays by radio. Our protocol contains two schemes: the greedy and centralized schemes. The greedy scheme uses only the local vehicle's speed to predict the available time and decide when to switch the delivery strategy; while the centralized scheme uses the global statistical information to make the decision. Simulation results justify the efficiency of the proposed protocol.","PeriodicalId":325246,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 71st Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121923533","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}
