In a packet communication system the correctness or incorrectness of the received blocks is usually strictly related to a comparison of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with a set of thresholds. The possibility of fitting a Markovian model to the quantized fading process is investigated, assuming the states of the model are coincident with the quantization levels (symbols). The two-threshold case is considered and the suitability of a first-order Markov model or even a zero-order Markov model (that means independent and identically distributed symbols) in describing such a process is verified. For this purpose, the parameters of a second-order Markov model are estimated and the table of contingency analysis for Markov chains is applied. It is shown that, in the fast fading case, process symbols can be considered as independent and identically distributed, while in the slow fading case the first-order Markovian model only approximates the real behavior of the fading.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130748110","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 effects were investigated by indoor multipath propagation and BPSK transmission measurements at 60 GHz conducted in a modern office room. Multipath channel characteristics were estimated from impulse responses measured for three types of base-station antennas and for two types of directive terminal antennas with different beam widths. The effects of multipath propagation characteristics on high-speed digital transmission channels were also investigated for almost simultaneously measured bit-error performances at transmission rates of 64, 128, and 256 Mbps. From the results of measurements, the use of directive antennas at the remote terminal and also the use of base station antennas with appropriate radiation patterns were found to be effective for reducing the effect of multipath. It is also found that the reduction of multipath is achieved by the use of circular polarization instead of linear polarization. We also examined the effectiveness of several propagation parameters obtained from multipath propagation measurements for the estimation of the indoor digital transmission characteristics such as bit-error performance.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132493728","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 QAM-level of each carrier is also controlled collectively according to the amount of the stored data bits in the memory.

It is shown that extending the length of a trellis path is effective for bits encoded in phase by 8DPSK to improve the bit error probability, while not effective for bits encoded in amplitude by 2DASK. However, Viterbi decoding DD with N/sub A/=2 for bits encoded in amplitude by 2DASK can achieve better performance than conventional DD. The proposed system with the lengths of trellis path N/sub A/=2 for bits encoded in amplitude by 2DASK and N/sub P/=100 for bits encoded in phase by 8DPSK is shown to achieve gains for the DD with space diversity systems when the fading is fast or not.

We derive the switch mechanism which minimizes the mean-squared error (MSE) at the RAKE output. This switched-MNC detector, when compared with the conventional RAKE receiver, demonstrates significant performance gains, increasing the downlink capacity of a typical IS-95 system by up to 10%, while requiring minimal additional complexity when implemented using a simple recursive structure for the MNC function. Furthermore, we observe that almost all of the performance gains of the MMSE switched-MNC detector can be achieved using the simpler, ad-hoc, \"always-on\" MNC detector, in which pilot multipath noise cancellation always occurs at each finger input without regard to minimizing the MSE.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126802381","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}

Signal is detected using the stepping correlator receiver. The received signal is not converted to the baseband but the sampling is done direct from the IF-frequency. Digital implementation gives also a possibility to use a windowing property when those parts of the impulse responses that do not contain signal power are abandoned during measurements. The windowing enables high radio channel sampling rates.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"7 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120930956","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}

Feedforward schemes based on ML-theory have been shown to have rapid acquisition characteristics. Another important trend is to use digital interpolation for symbol timing adjustment. The so-called Farrow (1988) structure has become popular in this context because it offers an efficient and flexible realization structure for such an interpolation task. In a previous paper Vesma and Tuukkanen (see Proc. IEEE NORSIG 96, Espoo, Finland, p.183-6, 1997) proposed a new feedforward timing estimation scheme which utilizes the Farrow structure efficiently. The scheme is based on a low-order polynomial approximation for the log-likelihood function and also the derivative of this function is available with a small additional computational cost. The performance of the new timing recovery technique was found to be close to ideal even with short symbol block-lengths which is very important in mobile systems. In this paper, we show that this new scheme gives much better results when optimized training sequences are used. The scheme works also with severe multipath distortion channel.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"110 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122628137","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}
