As a result, the capacity of such systems depends on the distribution of the interfering signature sequences and consequently the distribution of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). For a zero-forcing or decorrelating solution, the SIR can be expressed in terms of the the near-far resistance (NFR) associated with the detector. Using a statistical characterization of the NFR, we derive analytical bounds on the outage probability in such systems. The analysis is based on application of the Wilson-Hilferty approximation of the chi-squared distribution valid on the range 1/spl Lt/K/spl Lt/N where K is the number of users in a cell and N is the processing gain. We show that the cell capacity can be upper and lower bounded by closed form expressions. We compare the cell capacity using zero forcing detection with conventional matched filter detection. Results show a ten fold capacity increase using zero forcing detection in a single cell system and a three fold increase in a multiple cell system.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Applications to the IS-95 uplink are presented along with supporting simulations. In addition, simulations involving a mobile moving 75 mph are presented demonstrating the tracking capabilities of the reduced dimension 2D RAKE receiver.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The effect on average ASE of the normalised reuse distance, shadowing variance, correlation between radio signals, coverage radius and cell sectorization is investigated by computer simulations. It is shown mathematically that the average ASE of an interference limited mobile radio channel increases with the increased shadowing variance. Downlink simulation results indicate that, the increase in shadowing correlation between the desired and the sum of the undesired signals reduces the average ASE whereas mutual correlation between individual interfering signals increases the average ASE. The variation of cell size on average ASE is also investigated. The results suggest small cell sizes in heavily shadowed areas are well suited for high-speed variable data rate transmissions.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

In each position, the receiver is rotated in steps of 5/spl deg/ and the channel transfer function is recorded in each step. Also, in each position, this set of results is collected for both diffuse and line-of-sight (LOS) configurations.

Both pieces of information are available with no hardware modifications to currently-available handsets and relatively inexpensive alterations to the base station system. We obtain significantly reduced statistical errors compared with either technique separately. This reduction may be necessary for compliance with the FCC requirement. In addition, there is expected to be a reduction in the measurement bias.

The design consists of an hierarchical frame structure that employs a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). A comparison is made with the published results of two other research projects, namely MBS (Mobile Broadband Systems) and Median. A protocol is presented that allows transport of control information and data over this link. This protocol features automatic repeat request (ARQ), support for multiple qualities of service (QoS) and graceful degradation of service quality when the load becomes higher than the capacity.
