Results show that the communication overhead is a key parameter that impacts the performance when the degree of replication is increased. To characterize the performance of the replicated HLR architecture in the presence of failures, we investigated two measure, namely, the system power and the lost potential. The system power is defined as the ratio of the total database throughput to the mean request response time while the lost potential is defined as the product of the mean request response time and the mean number of requests that are lost due to database failures. Results based on a subset of the model parameters indicate that a moderate degree of replication (around 5-10) can be supported to achieve the desirable QoS/fault-tolerance tradeoff under the particular type of query and update traffic considered in this study.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The optimum multi-user detector is currently too complex to be implemented in commercial systems. In this paper, an adaptive minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver is introduced which can combat the 'near-far' problem and reject multi-user interference in a multipath fading channel. This type of channel is subject to rapid deep fades and the receiver's performance can be severely degraded by the limited convergence speed of the adaptive algorithm. Here, an equaliser is used to improve the ability of an adaptive MMSE receiver to combat the effect of the multipath fading. Maximal ratio combining (MRC) and an alpha tracker is used to estimate the impulse response of the multipath channel. Results show this technique is effective for rejecting multiple access interference in a multipath fading channel.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The major problems to address are associated with poor circuit quality and limited transmission bandwidths. Poor circuit quality is manifested by low received SNRs and high delivered BERs and can be improved by judicious application of error-control coding. The desire to support as many ATM users as possible and the constraint of limited bandwidth favor the use of high-rate coding techniques. To provide an acceptable QoS, however, the selected coding technique must be effective for all realistic channel conditions, including AWGN and slow Rician fading. It was shown that binary BCH codes can be used to provide a highly effective error-control technique for ATM transmission on LOS circuits. The wide selection of block lengths, rate, and error correction power allows solutions to be tailored to the wireless ATM application. It was shown that the best designs result when a powerful binary BCH code is used to protect the header and a somewhat less powerful code is used to protect the payload. The effects of residual uncorrected error events can then be addressed with an appropriate end-to-end error-control technique, or, in the case of MPEG video, with error concealment algorithms. It was also shown that Reed Solomon codes with erasure filling can provide an effective, high-rate, end-to-end coding scheme to protect against cell loss due to congestion in ATM networks and decoding failure events associated with the link codes.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The main feature of this approach is that real-time co-ordinated prioritised time slot assignments are performed in clusters of access points (APs), which share the same carrier frequency. Re-use partitioning is performed in time by simultaneously assigning time slots within a cluster of APs based on the expected level of interference and in frequency by allowing the carriers to be re-used by clusters of APs that are sufficiently isolated. The AP cluster configuration is important for efficient utilisation of the scarce radio resources. If the clusters remain fixed then the system can support uneven load distributions within each cluster, but is not able to adapt to supporting load distributions which are unevenly distributed between clusters or to interference from other systems. In this paper a method of dynamically reconfiguring the clusters to support changes in the geographic load distribution over time and external interference is investigated. The performance in the presence of small scale signal fading is obtained and compared.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

This algorithm may also provide the best potentially implementable solution closer to the water-filling's by iteratively searching for the optimal bandwidth. The simulation result shows that this method is less sensitive to channel variation, which implies that it is robust to channel estimation errors.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Analytical and simulation models are developed to quantify the performance of the BP schemes. The results are compared with those obtained for a first-come-first-served (FCFS) service discipline. In a system with applications requiring multiple transmission rates, the class of BP schemes trade-off the delay and loss tolerance of applications to improve the net carried traffic on the link. Further, such schemes enable an easy implementation for adaptive prioritization, where the degree of precedence given to an application varies with offered load and the link capacity.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Optimal detectors and receivers for such channels are no longer linear. A PRNN that consists of a number of simpler small-scale recurrent neural network (RNN) modules with less computational complexity is conducted to introduce the best nonlinear approximation capability into the minimum mean squared error nonlinear predictor model in order to accurately predict the NBI signal based on adaptive learning for each module from previous non-Gaussian observations. Once the prediction of the NBI signal is obtained, a resulting signal is computed by subtracting the estimate from the received signal. Thus, the effect of the NBI can be reduced. Moreover, since those modules of a PRNN can be performed simultaneously in a pipelined parallelism fashion, this would lead to a significant improvement in its total computational efficiency. Simulation results show that PRNN-based NBI rejection provides a superior SNR improvement relative to the conventional adaptive nonlinear ACM filters, especially when the channel statistics and the exact number of CDMA users are not known to those receivers.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.
