In the proposed modulation scheme, phase-shift occurs in a smooth, continuous manner so that it can be implemented using an indirectly modulated frequency synthesizer. In the proposed transmitter architecture, low-power and low-complexity are achieved by employing two indirectly modulated synthesizers for the I and Q paths, thereby eliminating the need for mixers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs).

Exploiting orthogonal space-time block coding (STBC), we investigate ICE schemes as a simple extension of PACE using estimated data chips as additional pilots. Due to the superposition of different users' spread data signals, zero-valued chips can occur after spreading, which can cause noise enhancement when using data estimates as reference signals in ICE. Hence, we propose MIMO channel estimation methods to overcome the above problem.

In this paper, a step-by-step approach is proposed to analyze the usage of repeaters and remote RF heads to enhance over the air (OTA) throughput and HSDPA performance in general. Network constellations with and without repeaters and remote RF heads are developed for a realistic dense urban city centre scenario. Dynamic system level simulations have been conducted for different network configurations and for varying loads of FTP traffic. From the simulation results, it is seen that, scenarios enhanced with repeaters showed significantly better performance than the pure macro cell scenario or the pure RF Head scenario. Networks enhanced with a mixture of repeaters and remote RF heads mounted below rooftop with reduced power levels showed significantly better channel qualities than the macro cell network enhanced with repeaters mounted above rooftop. Approximately 50% increase in OTA throughput accompanied by 50% reduction in downlink power consumption and mean session duration was observed for the RF head scenario enhanced with repeaters, in comparison with macro cell scenario enhanced with repeaters; these are highly beneficial for the HSDPA system as a whole","PeriodicalId":325797,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"9 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":"126345258","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}
