Differences in receiver performance, diversity and transmit power used at mobiles and base stations are potential sources of imbalance. In addition, there is a fundamental asymmetry between uplink and downlink interference caused by the locations of mobiles and base stations. We investigate the nature of this asymmetry and prove that the uplink frequently has worse interference. Furthermore, this difference shows little dependence on the degree of mobility and is basically associated with the location of mobiles rather than their speed.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Distributed or centralized resource allocation schemes can be used to reach such an objective. However, the means to actually implement these resource adaptive features represent a major implementation challenge. In addition, the schemes should be self adaptive and eventually self learning since large scale traffic variations on an hourly and a daily basis exhibit patterns with low expected variance. At a much finer scale, in micro and pico cellular environments variations due to user mobility are unpredictable and only dynamic channel allocation methods can adequately adapt to the rather large traffic variations. This contribution relates to the larger scale traffic variations and proposes an adaptive resource assignment approach based on the multi-agent technique which relies on self learning. The adaptive resource allocation scheme \"channel segregation (CS)\" containing inherently the self learning attribute was selected to test and validate the concept of using intelligent agents in base stations. Using the multi-agent platform DIMA (development and implementation of multi agent system), CS has been integrated and implemented in a simulation model of base stations to introduce the self learning feature in the network. The obtained simulation results validate the intelligent agent implementation and illustrate the feasibility of using such agents in base stations to introduce the self adaptive feature in mobile networks.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

In the proposed method, base stations (BSs) connecting to a mobile station (MS) with non-minimum path loss reduce their power gradually to reach a minimum level. A BS with a minimum path loss in the active set, on the other hand, controls its own power to keep the signal quality received in the MS at a constant level. The BS selection is carried out using the TPC signal derived as a fine combination of power-up/power-down signal and a primary BS identification number. The capacity of the proposed TPC is compared with other TPC methods including a conventional one in which the power of BSs in the same active set is equally controlled. The simulations indicate that the capacity of the proposed TPC is higher than that of the conventional TPC and it is comparable with that of an ideal instantaneous hard hand-over system.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The purpose of DLC in wireless is to provide error-free services to the higher layers by recovering corrupted cells. A selective reject (SREJ) automatic repeat request (ARQ) based DLC protocol is used for CBR error recovery. For an ARQ based scheme, higher recovery rates can be achieved with larger cell transfer delay, caused by cell retransmissions. Since cell transfer delay and DLC recovery rate both can translate to user-perceivable quality of service (QoS), it is important for the DLC to strike a balance between these two, depending on the application's requirements. To achieve this in our protocol, the retransmission procedure for a CBR cell is constrained to complete within a recovery time interval which is specified by the application at call-setup time. Also, a novel jitter removal algorithm, which reduces the cell delay variation caused by cell loss and retransmissions, is incorporated as a part of the DLC protocol. The proposed protocol is implemented on NEC's WATMnet prototype system. The implementation and its experimental results are reported for illustrating the performance and feasibility of the presented CBR DLC protocol. The experimental results show that the DLC protocol can be successfully applied for error recovery of CBR traffic on a per-connection basis. These also indicate that the DLC can be programmed to attain a desirable tradeoff between cell transfer delay and cell recovery rate.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.
