A primary feature of DPRMA is the centralized controller, a base station in a cellular system, whose responsibility is to allocate resources on the uplink channel. In DPRMA, the base station performs this function in an intelligent fashion based on the resource demands submitted by each active mobile, and the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each user type. Each user is responsible for providing updated information about its immediate bandwidth needs. The ability of a mobile user to dynamically change its bandwidth reservation request and the ability of the system to efficiently match this request with the actual resource allocation are the primary features of the system. The system investigated in this work contains voice, video conferencing, and data traffic. The capacity of the system over a Gilbert-Elliott fading channel is investigated. It is shown that there exists a threshold signal to noise ratio (SNR), above which the degradation of the system performance is relatively small. This threshold is traffic-type dependent. Values of the SNR threshold were identified for the different traffic types considered.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

This technique measures distance from each receiving base station in terms of the amount that the timing of the mobile has to be advanced in order to properly fit into the correct time slot. TA is used as an approximation for TOA (time of arrival-the transit time from mobile station to base station) which allows one to draw circular contours around each receiving antenna; the location of the mobile is at the best intersection of all those contours in the least-squares sense. We analyze the statistical errors from the use of TA as an estimator for TOA and apply the results to example ALI problems. The equipment uses a process whereby a measurement of TOA is made with some intrinsic error and then a broad TA time slot is assigned; the user may not have access to the original TOA measurement. In estimating the errors it is critical to recognize that there is a non-negligible probability that the TOA measurement error is large enough that the wrong TA time slot (i.e., it does not bracket the true value of TOA) may be assigned. Given that the user only knows the time slot, the problem is to find an estimator and its error for the actual TOA.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

This flexibility can only be reached by a radio structure which performs all baseband functions in software and is therefore totally software programmable. To ensure that different software configurations can be understood and supported by all mobile terminal architectures a general programming language is required to describe the used air interface components. By the example of the second generation mobile communication systems like the European GSM, the Japanese PDC, the American IS-54 (respectively IS-136) and the European wireless communications system DECT, a common description and implementation of the transceiver functions like channel coding, modulation and equalisation have been developed.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Current wireless networks are periodically re-configured manually to improve network performance. These network reconfiguration and performance optimizations consume thousands of engineering hours and are often done by trial and error. However, the benefit of these efforts will be minimized as increasing competition throughout the world causes the service provider to dynamically change pricing structures to attract new customers and maintain existing customers. These changes in wireless service tariff and user base can drastically impact the network usage. This uncertainty further reduces the period of time a non-dynamically tuned network will perform optimally. Therefore, the need to reallocate the network and radio resources on the fly to maximize network infrastructure usage and minimize network costs will become increasingly important. This paper proposes a new enhanced method to dynamically allocate radio resources and evaluates the performance impact of this scheme using the configuration and operational measurements of an existing Global Standard Mobile (GSM) network over a period of several days. The new enhanced dynamic radio method reduces the total radio channel requirements by 10-20% over the currently used fixed allocation scheme. This new method improves the radio resource performance (the average C/I per Erlang) by 2.4 dB over a fixed allocation radio system.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

However, in order to achieve a significant gain from frequency hopping, it has been shown that at least 3 to 4 frequencies are required in the hopping sequence. In band-limited networks that many frequencies per cell are not always available. Two network features, MAIO-management (mobile allocation index offset management) and using a lower reuse with admission load control, compensate for the lack of spectrum even with very narrow bandwidths. The performance of these two features have been investigated and compared to a non-hopping network. A network with a bandwidth of 21 frequencies has been analysed. Simulation results show that MAIO-management gives the best quality. The comparison is based on individually reported frame erasure rates of each mobile station.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The timing zitter formula for PADLL in AWGN is derived and compared with the noncoherent DLL tracking scheme. The analysis shows that the proposed PADLL scheme with the accumulation period of 4 symbols improves the performance of QPSK demodulation by 0.6 dB over the noncoherent code tracking.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Most of the published performance work so far has been based on simulations, not the analytic results. In this paper we present an analysis of HIPERLAN channel access control protocol in an ad hoc networking scenario. We derive expressions for the probability of success, the average overhead per-channel access cycle, and the network capacity. Using an M/G/1 queueing model we approximate the average delay using equilibrium point analysis techniques. In addition, a lower and an upper bound on the average delay as a function of the throughput are obtained.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.
