The marriage of GBS' network reach and commercial, off-the-shelf Internet software could connect these same units into a global internetwork and substantially improve battlefield communications and capabilities. This paper focuses on the efforts made in the DARPA BADD ACTD to lay the groundwork for future Internet applications of particular interest: multicast applications. Since no single, widely accepted reliable multicast protocol yet exists, we introduce and describe the Transport for Reliable Multicast (TRM) and a sample multicast application using TRM, the proxy Web server. The multicast proxy server is used to disseminate Web pages of interest to remote Web servers in the same multicast group.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126406420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

STAP applied to CDMA systems is an efficient means to increase the capacity by providing diversity paths to combat multipath and by suppressing interference through spatial-temporal filtering. STAP may also be used to harden commercial systems for military applications by rejecting narrowband interferences in overlay situations. The main advantage of interference suppression in the spatial domain is its robustness with respect to the interference bandwidth. The performance of several STAP architectures is reviewed. The performance of wireless systems with array processing or STAP is degraded by errors in the estimation of the covariance matrix due to finite sample effects. Full and reduced-rank methods are analyzed with respect to their robustness to finite sample effects.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131156241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decorrelator approach has been investigated as a suboptimum multiuser detector for a low complexity receiver at the expense of the enhancement and correlation of noise. We consider a quasi-maximum likelihood (quasi-ML) detector in the reverse link system which uses antenna arrays in quasi-synchronous channels. It is shown that the performance of the system is better than that of the conventional decorrelator and that the performance gain over the conventional decorrelator system increases as the number of active users and number of antenna arrays increase.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132761594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because of its phase modulation, Gaussian filtering, and partial response signaling properties, GMSK is not a linear modulation. We present a linear approximation of GMSK signals at T/2 fractional spacing. The partial response channel with a memory length of 3 symbol periods, which is the pulse-shaping function inherent in the GMSK modulation, can be clearly identified in this linear approximation. Further more, we use this partial response channel information in the estimation of the wireless channel, which includes the physical propagation channel and the modulation pulse-shaping function. Conventional channel estimators, e.g., correlator or least-squares estimator approaches, do not exploit the information of the pulse-shaping function which is known and available. Our proposed structured channel estimate is more accurate since we incorporate the knowledge of the channel structure in the estimation procedure. We compared the BER (bit-error-probability) performance of a GSM system with the structured and unstructured channel estimate, and simulation results show the improvement of a Viterbi equalizer in different test channels when a structured channel estimate is used.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"286 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115602012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
