The proposed receiver features a soft-input/soft-output (SISO) multiuser detector and a SISO channel decoder operating in an iterative feedback, or \"turbo\" configuration.

The variable partition duplex scheme allows both uplink and downlink traffic to share a common communication resource and takes advantage of the nature of a conversation pair that only one party is talking in most of the conversation intervals. By adopting VPD-PRMA, wireless communication systems can get higher statistical multiplexing gain due to the trunking effect. We study the performance of the VPD-PRMA system by computer simulation. The results show that the system capacity of the VPD-PRMA system is 23 and that of the traditional PRMA system is 19. By adopting VPD-PRMA on the DECT frame structure, the total capacity of the VPD-PRMA system is 230 voice channels, which is almost twice the capacity (120 channels) of the typical DECT system.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The traffic types include voice, data, facsimile and low-rate video. The CAC algorithm maximizes the utilization of the system resources (i.e., the reverse-link frequency spectrum and the output buffers at the base stations) and, at the same time, guarantees quality of service (QoS) to each of the network users. It checks if there are enough resources for a new connection request by comparing the measured signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) to a calculated SINR threshold. If the measured SINR is higher than the corresponding SINR threshold for all mobile terminals (including the requesting mobile) in the microcell, then the requesting mobile terminal can be admitted into the system. The performance of the algorithm is verified by using the Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) to model the traffic sources.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Wideband wireless channels available in the PCS band (2 GHz) have been envisioned to be used by mobile (high Doppler) and stationary (low Doppler) units in a variety of delay spread profiles. This is a challenging task, given the limited link budget and severity of wireless environment, and calls for the development of novel robust bandwidth efficient techniques which work reliably at low SNRs. To this end, we design a space-time coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulated physical layer. This combines coding and modulation. Space-time codes were previously proposed for narrowband wireless channels. These codes have high spectral efficiency and operate at very low SNR (within 2-3 dB of the capacity). On the other hand, OFDM has matured as a modulation scheme for wideband channels. We combine these two in a natural manner and propose a system achieving data rates of 1.5-3 Mbps over a 1 MHz bandwidth channel. This system requires 18-23 dB (resp. 9-14 dB) receive SNR at a frame error probability of 10/sup -2/ with two transmit and one receive antennas (resp. two transmit and two receive antennas). As space-time coding does not require any form of interleaving, the proposed system is attractive for delay-sensitive applications.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The joint identification and timing estimation algorithm is derived by performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the observation vector and exploiting the uniqueness and nullity characteristics of the root-MUSIC test polynomial. The root-MUSIC based algorithm is shown to be asymptotically near-far resistant. Moreover, compared to the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) or maximum likelihood (ML) based multiuser timing estimator, the complexity is greatly reduced by separating the multi-dimensional optimization problem into several polynomial rooting problems. The analytical results reveal that under the uncorrelated Rayleigh fading model, the root-MUSIC timing estimator tends to achieve the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) at interesting signature sequence length and user's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.
