In each satellite, the uplinks are operated under the slotted ALOHA policy, while the downlinks and intersatellite links are operated employing the TDM (time division multiplexing) policy. The packets successfully arriving at the satellite from the earth zones and from the ISLs are stored onboard the satellite. The satellite cluster performance is expressed in terms of throughput. The performance measure is obtained as a function of the system load and traffic distribution, and of the system configuration in terms of the number of uplinks, number of downlinks, number of buffers, number of transponders, and the ISL capacity. As an exact Markov modeling of the above system leads to intractable solutions, a tractable approximate analysis is introduced. The introduced analysis can be used to investigate the sensitivity of the system performance as a function of the system configuration.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

A novel definition of time-warped distance results in decreased error probability in speech recognition; however, no fast algorithm for its computation has yet been found. The concept of time-warped average, on the other hand, is easy to compute and results in better speech recognition score. Both improved AMDF and time-warped distance are discussed for use in the speaker identification environment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

Simulation results and analysis for both nondegraded and degraded network synchronization modes are given, including the effect of pointer adjustments. With special consideration given to certain phase spreading desynchronizer design parameters, the jitter accumulation characteristics for DS3 signals in SONET are well behaved for the example SONET study network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The performance of the scheme is demonstrated in frequency-selective fast fading mobile radio channels. RLS-MLSE employs a parallel estimation scheme in which the state of the channel is estimated by the Viterbi algorithm and the parameters of the channel impulse response are estimated by RLS. A simplified RLS algorithm and an extension to the diversity reception scheme are discussed. Computer simulations show that RLS-MLSE is suitable for 40-kb/s QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) transmission in 900-MHz-band mobile radio systems, and that equalization with two-branch diversity operates up to a maximum Doppler frequency of 160 Hz.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The telephone operating companies have a vision of integrated access that focuses on increased revenues at a reduced cost in a timely fashion. TR-303 is a technical solution that begins to address many of the issues embodied in this vision. While there are many technical challenges, the key to the timely introduction of TR-303 technology is compatibility with the existing investment in operations systems (OSs), local digital switches (LDSs) and digital loop carrier systems. TR-303 will begin with a core feature set that will be proven in close interaction between the LDS and the remote digital terminal. The existence of working TR-303 systems in the network, working with existing OSs, will provide a springboard for new OS functionality as well as providing a stable interface for development.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The burstiness of the sources is modeled by describing both the active periods (during which a user generates one packet per slot) and the passive periods (during which a user does not generate any data) as geometric random variables. As a result, a correlated-arrivals queuing model for the multiplexer buffer is obtained, and it is analyzed by numerical means. Specifically, algorithms are given for the explicit derivation of the probability mass functions of the buffer contents (in packets) and the packet delay (in slots). The results indicate a very strong influence of the burstiness of the required buffer space in the multiplexer and the possible values of the packet delay, even for a given mean arrival rate per slot.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

Transmitting such high-bit-rate signals through standard 54-MHz transponder bandwidth requires the use of high-level modulation schemes. The techniques and technologies needed to make the use of 16-ary QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) transmission feasible for future satellite communication systems are examined. It is shown that it is possible to transmit a synchronous-transport-module-level 1 (STM-1) signal through a standard 54-MHz transponder bandwidth using 16-ary QAM transmission, for the 6/4-GHz band. However, for higher frequency bands, due to high fade margins needed to achieve the high availability and performance for SDH systems, it is not practical to transmit the STM-1 signal through such standard transponder bandwidths.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.
