Although they have been used in various receiver components like channel estimation, equalization and decoding, they have not been explicitly applied to frame synchronization. In this paper, we propose an efficient iterative frame synchronization technique in which the hard-output, un-coded data at the output of the equalizer is utilized to improve the accuracy of synchronization. Simulation results show huge signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) gains in terms of false acquisition probability (FAP), mean square channel estimation error (MSCEE) and un-coded bit error rate (BER) at all SNR values. The proposed approach can be easily applied to continuous or burst type frame synchronization under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in addition to flat or frequency-selective channels","PeriodicalId":360395,"journal":{"name":"2005 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121318411","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}

To reduce the occurrence of packet losses and, hence, to improve the quality of packet transmission services, such as e.g. the short message service (SMS) deployed in GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) based mobile communications networks, a quantitative analysis of the quality of service (QoS) in the signaling domain is mandatory. For this reason, appropriate QoS parameters are needed. In this communication, the authors propose such QoS parameters and apply them to the SMS in GSM networks. Furthermore, a system framework for QoS monitoring, alerting and reconfiguring an SMS Center is presented. It operates near real-time and, therefore, helps to maintain a high QoS level.

Two error mitigation mechanisms that become relevant in this scenario are data carousels and PLFEC.

There are currently various mobile communication standards in use worldwide. The mobile communication industry is under transition phase and experiencing a shift from single system connectivity to multi-system connectivity. The objective is to communicate over varying distances using varying bit rates with a high-speed data and coverage. One of the challenging blocks to design in such transreceiver is the multi-standard low noise ultrawideband (UWB) RF signal source (VCOs) that can provide seamless connectivity among the various standards considered. The VCOs design approach demonstrated in this work can satisfy the present demand of tuning range and noise performance, and reconfigurable for integration in chip form. The measured phase noise is better than -112 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset over the tuning range (0.5-2 GHz/2-8 GHz), and to our knowledge this is the best phase noise and highest tuning band of operation using N-push topology with discrete components so far reported","PeriodicalId":360395,"journal":{"name":"2005 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126097981","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}

Performance of a coherent system mainly depends on channel estimation at the receiver. This estimation generally involves insertion of pilot symbols in a frame and thus a loss of spectral efficiency. Differential space time modulation (DSTM), which is an extension of SISO differential techniques to MIMO case, seems to be an alternative solution to attain high spectral efficiency and good performance in fast time-varying channels, where estimation of channels may be difficult. When comparisons between DSTM and coherent system are provided, perfect channel knowledge at the receiver is generally assumed, In this paper, we propose to include realistic channel estimation for coherent system as well as degradation of spectral efficiency used due to necessary pilot insertion. Simulation results show that in very fast time-varying channel non-coherent systems outperform systems with channel estimation.
