The narrowband telecommunications services could be transmitted in the 1300-nm optical window using a passive optical network (PON) architecture. The switched broadband digital access is wavelength division multiplexed onto the narrowband network using the 1550-nm window or integrated with the narrowband network in the 1300-nm window. The switched broadband digital access takes advantage of low bit rate ( approximately 6 Mb/s) entertainment quality video encoding in order to provide enhanced video services such as premium entertainment video, educational television, and video telephony. Enhanced data service such as SMDS and switched DS-1 can be provided using this architecture.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

Any encryption algorithm can be used without significantly degrading ciphertext length. The proposed scheme can use parallel processing techniques to realize rapid encryption speeds. Plaintext is processed to yield one common component and as many individual components as there are receivers. Because the common component is used for all receivers, the ciphertext is relatively short. If a public key cryptosystem is used, any receiver's decrypted plaintext can be compared with that of another receiver, thus preventing malicious sender attack.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The driving specification of the envisaged system is the high dynamic range, resulting in considerably large interference-to-desired-signal power ratios. Some form of clipping at the receiver side is mandatory, but performance improvement can be achieved by quantizing the spectrum analyzer output signals to more than single-bit quantization. Furthermore the overall system performance can be considerably improved by applying tone shaping/windowing on the transmitted tones. Care must be taken to provide sufficient tone separation for the envisaged shaping/windowing scheme.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

One can use either pel recursion or block matching for the motion estimation in a 2D QMF pyramid.

It is shown how this basic infrastructure will be developed to support asynchronous transfer model (ATM) based services, and thereby evolve to broadband ISDN (integrated services digital networks). SDH synchronous multiplexing at base rates of 155 Mbit/s and higher will provide the backbone transport for all services from telephony to broadband. The method of carrying services will initially be based on synchronous transfer mode (STM) and the lower levels of the synchronous multiplexing hierarchy. This method of transport is sufficient for services as they exist today and for the next few years. The use of SDH will allow a greater flexibility in the selection of service rates by its property of allowing bandwidth to be concatenated. Even greater flexibility will be provided by the use of ATM. As well as providing additional bandwidth flexibility, it allows efficient carriage of variable bandwidth service.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

Output signal-to-noise ratio curves versus carrier and guardband frequencies are presented for the 16-, 64-, and 256-point rectangular constellations, assuming ADSL impairments consisting of self-far-end crosstalk, thermal noise generated by the loop, and receiver noise that is generated primarily by amplifiers in the front-end of the receiver. The simulation results show that an ADSL system with these impairments is viable even on loops that are at the extreme range of the loop plant. In addition, 16-QAM signaling generally performs better than any of the other constellations. The study assumed perfect timing and carrier recovery.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The traffic load is described by a discrete time Markov chain model for a finite number of simultaneous users. Two types of diversity, namely selection diversity and maximal ratio combining, are used to combat multipath fading.

Since the packet length is fixed, it has the potential to perform various service requests of users. Thus, the authors present a queueing model which has two kinds of user sources, priority source and nonpriority source. Priority cells get superior service to nonpriority cells, because of their delay-critical natures; it is assumed that the arrival of nonpriority cells, including the blocked and retransmitted cells, is a Poisson process. Based on this model, the discard probability of the priority cells and the mean delay time of the nonpriority cells are evaluated, and they are validated by computer simulations. The numerical results show that the performance of nonpriority cells is also highly dependent upon the arrival pattern of priority cells.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.
