Markov control process theory and Markov models of the fading channel are combined to solve the problem of designing a variable packet length protocol for the fading channel. The protocol selects the current packet length as a function of the recent fading history of the channel. This work makes use of previous empirical and analytical results in the construction of Markov descriptions of fast fading.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Optimal noncoherent sequence detection requires a tree search and a complexity exponentially increasing with the duration of the transmission. In order to realize simple suboptimal receivers based on the Viterbi algorithm (VA), approximate schemes are proposed, characterized by a performance which approaches that of coherent detection. In the proposed schemes the tradeoff between complexity and performance is simply controlled by a parameter referred to as implicit phase memory and the number of trellis states. These schemes represent a significant improvement over previous results.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98. IEEE 1998 International Conference on Universal Personal Communications.

The comparative analysis of the results confirmed the increase in performance of the communications with relays, without overloading the network by the relayed frames. These simulations also allowed us to refine the protocols of each layer and show up any omissions and design errors. In fact, this proposed mechanism of localization and network knowledge would still increase the performances of this type of WLAN.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The radio link adaptation (LA) algorithm is an important issue for such a system; however a theoretical analysis of LA algorithms has not previously been carried out. This paper presents a performance analysis of the LA algorithms for slow fading mobile radio channels. The LA algorithms based on the received signal level are studied; the expression of the radio link outage probability and transmission data rate are derived. The simulations were performed in the GSM communication environment, which gave identical results to the theoretical analysis. The results can be used to determine suitable LA algorithms for adaptive modulation under different conditions.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Depending on the channel model, the maximum ratio combiner improves the performance by 4-6 dB when the number of antennas is increased from one to two, and by another 3-5 dB when the number of antennas is increased from two to four. The resulting capacity gain is close to a direct translation of the link level gain. The optimum combiner is capable of completely suppressing a number of interfering rays equal to the number of antennas minus one. In contrast to the uplink, the downlink can greatly benefit from the suppression of a few interfering rays, leading to an additional substantial gain in downlink capacity.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

On the downlink, beamforming techniques and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) can reduce the adverse effects high data rate mobiles have upon the system capacity in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system. For 3/sup rd/ Generation systems, one approach is to assign SDMA channels to low mobility/high data rate mobile stations and provide a low data rate service via a sectorized antenna. The use of SDMA for high rate mobiles requires the base station to accurately estimate the direction of multipaths between the base station and SDMA mobile stations. This paper presents a simple, but intuitive model for analyzing the beamforming loss due to inaccuracies in estimating the direction of arrival of multipaths from SDMA mobiles and the loss due to periodic update of beam patterns to SDMA mobiles.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

This aspect could be quite interesting in order to compare two existing systems and their flexibility in network optimization; but perhaps it is even more challenging to evaluate how a migration from one system to the other (e.g. from GSM to CDMA) can exploit the present base mesh and thus which difficulties the of the new system has to cope with.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.
