In this paper, we analyze the influence of interference due to the time variation and delay spread of mobile radio channels on an OFDM system. We obtain the bit error rate (BER) performance of the 16-QAM OFDM system. Then, we investigate the performance of the Reed-Solomon (RS) coded 16-QAM OFDM system when the number of sub-carriers varies. In the investigation, we assume that the information transmission rate and total bandwidth expansion (due to coding, guard interval, and number of sub-carriers) are fixed. Under this condition, it is observed that there are optimum numbers of sub-carriers that minimize the post decoding symbol error probability of the RS code for various channel states.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"11 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":"116890177","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 need to reduce space operations costs, the expected availability of distributed communications architectures within space vehicles, and the design of increasingly complex space constellations have generated civil and military requirements to provide functions such as end-to-end networking, data protection, reliable delivery and file handling. Under a joint technical effort by the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), space data communications protocols are being developed to provide these functions. The capabilities needed to be provided in these protocols are very much influenced by space communications constraints in areas such as computing resources, data rates, contact time, delay and transmission errors. These new space protocols have been submitted to both the US government and the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) for approval as standards. The commercial space, military tactical, and wireless personal communications communities, which have system and environment constraints similar to those encountered in space data communications, may also benefit from the technology of these space protocols.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"29 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":"123300231","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}

These technology improvements, using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and/or government-off-the-shelf products, is part of a long term Department of Defense cost reduction strategy for modernizing currently fielded tactical systems. The goal is to acquire commercially based C4I systems that can be expeditiously deployed to warfighting elements. This broad strategy allows DOD services and agencies to deploy current, standards based, commercial technologies with a minimum of up-front development effort and associated costs. During JWID, high speed digital services were extended beyond the traditional DISN boundary in support of forward deployed JTF using the state-of-the-art commercial switching equipment. The COTS products used in this demonstration served as a proof of concept for using commercial technologies for tactical multimedia applications. The network consisted of four mobile switching nodes forming a meshed backbone linking demonstration sites at MacDill AFB, Ft. Bragg, Ft. Gordon, and Shaw AFB. The enabling technologies are ATM cell switching, ISDN telephony, and transparent ATM support for legacy IP router networks. ATM switches interfaced with three types of ISDN PABXs. The PABXs in turn interoperated with a wide range of voice terminals (analog, tactical, digital, ISDN, STU-III), computer terminals, and ISDN desktop products.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"211 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":"124735162","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 document was created to provide guidelines and requirements on classes of security products which will operate over the evolving commercial infrastructure. It was developed by a working group including representatives from DOD and commercial companies. Encryption classes were defined at the link, network and application layers. Based upon the expected evolution of the commercial architecture approaches were developed to both provide heterogeneity of equipment and extend transparency of needed security services across all layers. Important areas of inclusion in the specification are: (1) the establishment of the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) as the security management protocol, (2) definition of a transition from the Security Association Management Protocol (ISAMP) to ISAKMP, and (3) the establishment of an interpretable Domain of Interpretation (DOI).

Four methods for obtaining side information, which is used to determine which symbols to erase, are considered. Two of the methods require the transmission of extra symbols. The other two methods require no overhead in the transmissions. Instead, they rely on soft outputs of the demodulator in making symbol decisions. The performance of each of these methods is investigated for SFH communications over channels with Rayleigh fading, partial-band interference, and wideband noise. The throughput of SFH systems that use Reed-Solomon coding is determined. The maximum information rate that may be achieved by a SFH system is determined for each of the methods of obtaining side information. This performance measure is based on channel capacity considerations, and it is therefore not restricted to Reed-Solomon codes.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"16 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":"128908775","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}

In order to apply waveform coding, a pitch alteration technique is required in prosody control. The spectrum distortion of the pitch alteration method by time-axis control increases exponentially when the alteration rate is increased. In this paper, we propose a new pitch alteration method that uses a smoothing technique. This method changes the pitch period by partially controlling the time-axis of each zero crossing of the speech signal. This is a time domain method that preserves the phase components of the waveform and has little spectrum distortion of 4.3% for 70% pitch change.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"16 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":"125655003","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 system is expected to deliver messages of widely varied length. Our objective is to find a scheduling algorithm that exhibits good delay performance for messages of all sizes. We show that classical scheduling algorithms such as first-come-first-serve and round-robin perform poorly in this environment. We study two alternative schemes. The first, gives preemptive priority to the message with the shortest remaining processing time (SRPT). This scheme is known to minimize overall average message delays, but results in disproportionately large delays for long messages. The second scheme, serves messages based on a dynamic priority function, where a message's priority varies based on how long the message has been in the system as well as its length. This scheme results in somewhat larger overall average delays, but it is more fair to long messages.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"141 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":"132875349","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}

Interference excision, in which some of the transform bins are removed in the detection process, are used in the receivers. Simulated BER performance in AWGN and interference is presented for systems that use a number of different block transforms and the modulated lapped transform (MLT) and it is shown that the MLT provides much better performance due to its ability to confine the interference energy to a few transform bins.","PeriodicalId":351392,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 97 MILCOM 97 Proceedings","volume":"88 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":"132067103","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}
