The Signal Processing Worksystem with Block Oriented Software Simulator (SPW/BOSS) by Comdisco [1] provides the flexibility of an open architecture and the strength of a vast component library. It was used extensively in this paper to generate models and simulate Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems. The upcoming examples feature data sources and spreading mechanisms designed with individual Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence generators with different polynomial orders, channels containing Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), and receivers made up of Conventional Sliding Correlators (CSC) that are used as test beds to measure model integrity and performance trends. Contained within the CSC is a local PN generator with a sequence that matches the targeted transmitter, except for a possible phase shift. Further complexity is added to the models by studying the \"near-far\" problem associated with CDMA systems. These effects are simulated in software by altering the amplitudes of the transmitted signals. Simulation results are compared to analytical predications.","PeriodicalId":359363,"journal":{"name":"The 24th Southeastern Symposium on and The 3rd Annual Symposium on Communications, Signal Processing Expert Systems, and ASIC VLSI Design System Theory","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129950441","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}

Base on this feature, Gray code can be used to distinguish the number of closest distances of the signals by the values of the Hamming distance of the codewords that encoder assign to the signals. Thus, in this research, two techniques which are genetic algorithm and binary search are used to design this code. The basic properties of both algorithms, the results of both techniques and future work will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":359363,"journal":{"name":"The 24th Southeastern Symposium on and The 3rd Annual Symposium on Communications, Signal Processing Expert Systems, and ASIC VLSI Design System Theory","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128699202","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}
{"title":"A Simulation-Based Method for Fault Tolerance Evaluation","authors":"C. Scheper, R. Baker","doi":"10.1109/SSST.1992.712188","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SSST.1992.712188","url":null,"abstract":"Digital computing systems are used in many applications to perform functions whose correct execution is critical to the application, to the mission the application is a part of, or to human life and safety. This has led to an emphasis on the dependability of computing systems, i.e., whether or not justifiable reliance can be placed upon the service delivered by the system. There can be many factors defining dependability for a particular system, including performance, functionality, fidelity, reliability, maintainability, availability testability, fault tolerance, safety, security, and life-cycle cost. These factors interact with each other in ways that can be mutually diminishing and that can result in an undependable system. Therefore, a rigorous dependable system design validation and verification methodology is required. This paper addresses one of the necessary components of such a methodology for highly reliable systems: fault tolerance evaluation. We define fault tolerance evaluation to be those activities that assure that appropriate fault tolerance mechanisms are designed and implemented to provide the required level of system reliability, and propose an approach for using directed graph simulation models, behavioral simulation models, and semi-Markov analytic models during the early- to mid-stages of design for fault tolerance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":359363,"journal":{"name":"The 24th Southeastern Symposium on and The 3rd Annual Symposium on Communications, Signal Processing Expert Systems, and ASIC VLSI Design System Theory","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128905450","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}
