This paper makes a number of new contributions to the topic: it provides an analytical expression for the union bound on average symbol error rate for an arbitrary number of users and diversity antennas in a fading environment, for both perfect and imperfect CSI, and it compares the performance of joint detection with diversity antennas against classical MMSE combining. The performance is remarkable. With accurate CSI, several users can experience good performance with only a single antenna; moreover, for perfect CSI, only a 2 dB penalty is incurred for each additional user. With several antennas, many more users than the number of antennas may be supported with a slow degradation in performance for each additional user. Furthermore, high accuracy is not required from the channel estimation process. In all cases, the performance of joint detection exceeds that of MMSE combining by orders of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

The method is applied in designing a low-power single chip VLSI solution which implements an architecture for an all-digital binary phase shift keyed (BPSK) direct-sequence (DS) spread spectrum combined with frequency-hopping (FH) technique. The architecture incorporates a low complexity digital Costas loop for carrier recovery and a delay-locked loop for clock recovery. For the pseudo-random noise (PN) sequence acquisition, an energy detection scheme is incorporated. The discussed architecture is intended for use in very high spread spectrum radio band and with various data type processing capability such as image, video, audio, as well as text data. The proposed method formulates the relationships between the circuitry processing power consumed by the transceiver chip architecture and the performance of the transceiver system over the wide range of data rates, processing gains, and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The model provides the insights into the system design trade-offs to be made during the low-power transceiver system design process. Individual key digital processing component comprising the system is implemented in 0.6 microns CMOS technology from which the power consumption information is extracted. System performance sensitive functional DSP modules are identified and analyzed including the finite word-length effects on the overall transceiver performance.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

This paper describes the development and performance evaluation of separate speech and data, two antenna co-channel interference canceller (CCIC) algorithms for the Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). In the presence of a single dominant AMPS interferer, the speech CCIC algorithm provides carrier to interference (CIR) gains of between 3 and 14 dB, dependant on the fading rate, as compared to a switched diversity scheme for the same average output signal to noise plus distortion ratio (SINAD).

The measurements have been carried out using the Siemens proprietary wideband channel sounder, the SIMOCS-2000. The key objective of the measurement campaign has been to evaluate the performance of polarization diversity as compared to space diversity. In addition, we contrasted the results for diversity gain based on signal statistics with results from link level simulations. The measurements have been carried out at 1815 MHz and GSM has been assumed for the standard dependent evaluations by means of link level simulations. Evaluating the measurements based on the well known and widely used CDF method according to Turkmani, Arowojolu, Jefford and Kellett (see IEEE Trans. Vehic. Technol., vol.44, no.2, p.318-26, 1995), space diversity provides a maximum value of 6 dB diversity gain for a horizontal separation of 10 /spl lambda/ between two vertically polarized antennas. Using a /spl plusmn/45/spl deg/ dual polarized antenna polarization diversity results in a diversity gain of 5.5 dB and performs as well as space diversity. The use of a horizontal/vertical polarized antenna provides a diversity gain of 3-4 dB. Comparing the figures for the diversity gain computed according to Turkmani et al. with those obtained by GSM link level simulations we show that the CDF method results in diversity gain figures which are 2-3 dB too optimistic. However, a modification of the method according to Turkmani et al. which takes into account the effects of an interleaver in the transmission chain of the real communication system results in an almost perfect match.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

Our macroscopic model describes vehicular traffic in terms of number of vehicles, mean speed, and cell transition probability. When a new call request arrives in a cell, our call admission control scheme considers ongoing calls in the cell and its adjacent cells. Our scheme approximately estimates the handoff failure probability that is used to accept/reject the call request. Thereby it is possible to adapt to dynamically changing vehicular traffic and to guarantee the handoff failure probability of accepted calls to be less than a predetermined QoS value. Simulation reveals that our scheme shows better network utilization than a trunk reservation scheme on the condition that the QoS value of the handoff failure probability is satisfied.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

It is assumed that scattering activity is limited to a local area around the subscriber and possibly additional secondary scattering areas, each being of local extent. Simulation is possible by generating correlated random variates obeying a complex Gaussian law to represent an instance of the impulse response at each antenna element. A mathematical definition of the correlation existing between discrete channel coefficients is provided as a function of separation in space (lag) and separation in frequency. Thus, the channel correlation between antenna elements is characterized by a lag-frequency correlation function in a three-dimensional (cylinder of scatterers) propagation scenario. The mathematical formulation incorporates the effect of arbitrary antenna patterns at the base and at the subscriber station. Simulation proceeds by dividing the band of interest into a number of frequency bins (each smaller than the coherence bandwidth) leading to the construction of a discrete lag-frequency matrix of channel coefficients. Since the model is not concerned with temporal channel variations, it is appropriate for Monte-Carlo simulations for calculations such as outage probability, system capacity, etc.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.
