In this paper, we propose a new blind equalization scheme that automatically switches to the DD mode. The proposed scheme operates in two modes: a blind equalization mode and a DD mode. The mode is determined by the region in which the equalizer output lies, and the region varies as function of the estimated value of the error variance. Only the equalized signal that falls in the region of confidence is used to calculate the variance. From simulation results, it is shown that this scheme can achieve faster convergence and small MSE.","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":"133417148","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 our knowledge the reported work is the first attempt to make use of such a technique for equalisation of quaternary partial response CPM signals transmitted over multipath channels.

First, the conventional characterization using the mean and standard deviation of the prediction error is used. Then, a figure of merit defined as the percentage of correct prediction with respect to a coverage threshold is computed. Finally, an example is given to illustrate how prediction results could be displayed to provide some insights into the accuracy of the model. For comparison purpose, results from power law curve fits are also analyzed. It is concluded that the standard deviation is a fair characterization of the accuracy of a model as long as its value is small (<-7 dB). For larger value, the figure of merit can be more useful. However, further work is needed to find reliable characteristics which could provide almost as much information as the visual inspection of the prediction results overlaid on the measurements.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"19 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":"130344102","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}

Packet capture probability is evaluated in order to investigate the possible improvements of the random transmission power strategy first proposed by Lee (1987). Propagation is characterised by a path-loss exponent. The capture effect is taken into account by means of a threshold model. Averaging over interfering distance is accomplished. After an analytical development, the packet capture probability is found to be determinable by means of closed-form expressions. It is shown that the random transmission power strategy improves system performance in certain conditions. Some examples of application of this technique are given.","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":"116672505","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}
