These codes confine the peak-to-average power ratio of multicarrier signals to a favorable value of 3 dB at the cost of a lower code rate. Additionally, the coding employs diversity which renders a performance improvement in frequency-selective fading channels. This paper contains a discussion on the capabilities and the limits of OFDM transmission techniques using such codes. Different coding and modulation schemes are compared and guidelines are provided for the choice of the appropriate transmission scheme. The Magic WAND (wireless ATM network demonstrator) system set-up is used to discuss the requirements of a practical system.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The proposed scheme takes advantage of the time-varying nature of fading to dynamically allocate the transmitted power between the inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) channels. It uses fixed-rate binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation on the Q channel for voice, and variable-rate M-ary amplitude modulation (M-AM) on the I channel for data. For favorable channel conditions most of the power is allocated to high rate data transmission on the I channel. The remaining power is used to support the variable-power voice transmission on the Q channel. As the channel degrades the modulation gradually reduces its data throughput and reallocates most of its available power to insure a continuous and satisfactory voice transmission. The scheme is intended to provide a high average spectral efficiency for data communications while meeting the stringent delay requirements imposed by voice. We present closed-form expressions as well as numerical and simulation results for the outage probability, average allocated power, achievable spectral efficiency, and average bit-error-rate for both voice and data, transmission over Nakagami-m (1960) fading channels. We also discuss the features and advantages of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Considering power spectral density (PSD) over a radio frequency (RF) band and the effect of RF input filtering on the receiver in MCR-DS/CDMA systems, we present criteria for capacity estimation and clarify the characteristics of subsystems. The system performance in MCR-DS/CDMA systems is strongly affected by radio resource assignment. A minimum power-increment-based resource assignment scheme and a random-based resource assignment scheme are proposed. The performance of both schemes are compared in terms of blocking probability and normalized throughput. The minimum power-increment-based resource assignment scheme yields a better performance than the random-based resource assignment scheme for multimedia services.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

For the detection of paths, an algorithm denoted as \"path tracking\" is applied, which enables the determination of physically reasonable paths. Evaluation is done by the examination of the frequency distributions of errors when fitting theoretical distribution functions to measured data. An exponential interarrivaltime distribution, as occurring for a standard Poisson process, shows poor correspondence, whereas a Weibull distribution turns out to be very well applicable. A plausible explanation for the applicability of the Weibull distribution for describing the distribution of interarrivaltimes, which was missing up to now, is also given.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

A Bayesian method for optimum character erasure flagging is derived which uses both the received data signals and the channel estimates provided by pilot signals, and a simpler method is presented which flags erasures on a modulation symbol basis. Our simulation results demonstrate that combining pilot signals with E&E decoding results in significant transmit power savings.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.
