These schemes are based on user grouping technique. In this technique, K users in the system are partitioned into G groups and a unique spreading sequence is assigned to each group. Using multiple antenna in the base station transmitter, we can separate users in each group by their different spatial characteristics. This separation is performed by some linear spatial pre-processing techniques in the transmitter. In addition, to suppress the multiple access interference between users in different groups, we use temporal linear transmit precoding method. Using precoding method in the base station's transmitter makes the mobile receivers very simple and low cost. We present the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed schemes in a flat fading channel by computer simulations. It is demonstrated that a considerable improvement in the performance and increasing in the system capacity will be obtained by using the proposed group transmission schemes","PeriodicalId":325797,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132757772","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}

SPH-SDM randomizes the subcarrier phases within an OFDM symbol and makes subcarrier components of the received signal uncorrelated in order to improve BER performance of a MIMO-OFDM coded system. The phase patterns are adjusted so that they can not only randomize the subcarrier phase hopping but also reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In contrast to conventional PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM such as the selected mapping (SEM), ESLM employs roughly quantized IFFT processing for selecting the phase pattern in order to reduce the numerical complexity, and modulates the pilot subcarriers so as to inform the receiver of the selected phase pattern. Computer simulation shows that SPH-SDM with ESLM can increase the frequency diversity gain by channel coding, while simultaneously reducing PAPR by a suboptimum phase pattern","PeriodicalId":325797,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"22 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132119307","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}

Such packet loss affects the quality of ongoing communication session such as interactive VoIP traffic and streaming media. We provide a solution to this scenario by buffering packets for the mobile node at an access router or network node near the edge of the network where mobile may be moving away from or moving towards. The buffered packets are then forwarded to the mobile node once the handoff process completes. The buffering scheme is used in conjunction with existing mobility protocols, access protocols or as an independent network or link layer mechanism. Ability to control the buffer dynamically provides a reasonable trade-off between delay and packet loss which is within the threshold limit for real-time communication.

A consequent open issue is the mapping of long codewords onto limited size chunks, especially when link adaptation per chunk is carried out. This paper proposes a new method for joint coding and modulation. A data packet, independently of its length, is encoded without any segmentation into a single codeword spanning different chunks employing different signal constellations. The parameters of the underlying error correction code are chosen independently of the signal constellation and no puncturing is required. Moreover, a joint adaptation of the code length and the modulation format is proposed to optimise the number of chunks allocated for transmission","PeriodicalId":325797,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134093249","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 MANET, since a packet relayed by any node can reach all its neighbour nodes, broadcasting by flooding is inefficient and results in many redundant relays. In this paper, we analyze the deficiencies of some previous broadcasting protocols and propose two enhanced lightweight protocols, namely hop count-aided broadcasting (HCAB) and self-adaptive probability broadcasting (SAPB). The proposed protocols can reduce broadcasting redundancy significantly and guarantee high broadcasting coverage as well. More importantly, the proposed protocols are lightweight, which means each node makes relay decision without any knowledge of its neighbours. Thus, the proposed protocols have low overhead and are attractive to capacity limited mobile devices.
