The capacity of a link can be improved by spectrally overlaying narrowband subsystems over a single wideband subsystem. A micro/macro cellular CDMA overlay system is considered. The important issues such as the interference and the desired user signal power in the reverse link, the system, parameters affecting the reverse link capacity, the spectral overlay ratio and distance between microcells and macrocells base stations are analyzed. The relative power used, the interference obtained due to the neighbouring cells and maximum total throughput in a particular cell have been analyzed. A real time simulation of a CDMA system in a cellular environment consisting of several narrowbands overlaid on a wideband system is carried out which clearly shows the capacity tradeoffs between the narrowband and wideband CDMA systems","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

In this paper, we propose a novel scheduling scheme, namely differentiated dropping scheduling (DDS), which is designed to handle real-time traffic in passive star-coupled WDM optical networks. By taking channel availability and destination availability into account, DDS can dramatically improve the network performance in terms of message loss rate. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm DDS, extensive discrete-event simulations are conducted by comparing its performance with Moore and Hodgson's algorithm and earliest due date (EDD) algorithm. The results show that DDS can achieve best performance among the three algorithms","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

No consensus has been reached concerning the issue of criteria for allocating ABR bandwidth among multipoint connections, or between point-to-point and multipoint connections. On the other hand, existing mp-mp flow control schemes implement only one BAD, namely source-based allocation. This inflexibility can limit the application of those schemes. Moreover, our simulation results show that they suffer from the problems of link under-utilization and/or noncompliance with the selected BAD. We propose a mp-mp flow control algorithm, the FCAM algorithm, that supports a large set of BADs, provides correct rate allocations with fast convergence, and maximizes link utilization. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the above advantages of the FCAM algorithm","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

Tunability in this passive component gives better performance of RF front end circuits by adjusting the centre frequency of band pass filter. This work is based on improving the mutual impedance by increasing the length of the additional conductor without effecting the overall spiral length by optical switching.

The frequency offset in the receiver LO is usually acquired at the beginning of each packet and later tracked in the data demodulation mode. Methods for estimation and compensation of DAC/ADC clocks frequency offset by processing of sampled data also exist.
