It is proposed that, for operation in the millimetre-wave indoor channel, directional antennas can be used to mitigate multipath effects, thus reducing the need for complex equalisation or multi-carrier techniques. An image based, ray-tracing prediction model is used to study the channel characteristics and to analyse the variation in received power, RMS delay spread and k-factor within a typical operating environment. The performances of different antenna combinations are investigated and narrowbeam, suitably aligned antennas are shown to reduce received delay spread for both LOS and non-LOS locations. The effects of non-optimal antenna alignment are observed, and system outage is determined for certain system design criteria. The results suggest that it will feasible to combat multipath effects using switched-beam directional antennas.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"59 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":"114076130","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 performance is analyzed in terms of probability of bit error. The UHF groundwave propagation law is introduced by considering the local mean power to be inversely proportional to the fourth power of propagation distance. To investigate the improvement in performance the influence of selection diversity and maximal ratio combining on the bit error probability is analyzed. It has been found that shadowing significantly affects the bit error performance. Application of selection diversity or maximal ratio combining results in important improvement of system performance. Selection diversity gives better results than maximal ratio combining for low signal-to-noise ratios. Results of our analysis show maximal ratio combining is not that sensitive to unequal branch signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"17 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":"122501189","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}

By employing a decision feedback equaliser incorporating a second order phase locked loop, the effect of both the intersymbol interference and frequency offset can be significantly reduced. Using such a technique, the packet error ratio (PER) of a HIPERLAN radio link in a multipath channel is found by simulation.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"1 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":"122619776","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 mobile-to-base link is modelled as a Rayleigh fading channel with all users experiencing independent fading. The standard receiver for CDMA systems is susceptible to the near-far effect problem. Power control techniques attempt to overcome near-far effect by varying transmitted power levels to ensure that all signals are received with equal power levels. We evaluated the performance for given a bit rate in a situation with and without power control and selection diversity. Since the power control algorithms cannot perfectly compensate for power fluctuations in a mobile communications channel, the performance of the system is reduced for a given BER. This paper examines the effect of imperfect power control on the number of users by extending analytical techniques that account for multiple access and adjacent cell interference.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"1 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":"129568196","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 this paper a novel multi-user decoding scheme for coded synchronous DS-CDMA is proposed. The decoder performs joint successive interference cancellation (SIC) and Viterbi decoding (VD) in each step of the interference cancellation. In a conventional SIC scheme, SIC is performed first, followed by VD that uses the outputs of the last stage of the SIC scheme for metric calculation. Simulated bit error probability for the proposed scheme is presented and compared with bit error probability of a conventional scheme. A capacity increase of at least 4 compared to SIC followed by VD is reported in one example.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"39 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":"128479090","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}

First, the network capacity can be increased, with a smoother quality degradation under heavy traffic or severe interference conditions. Secondly, the application of source sensitivity matched FEC (forward error correction) protection schemes, leads to a higher robustness of source bits to channel impairments. We evaluate the usefulness of prioritized, variable-rate speech encoding schemes, for handling congestion over packet switching systems. The system performance is shown to be sensitive to the fraction of information placed in each priority and to the number of priorities. The applicability of source-sensitivity matched error protection schemes, for variable-rate speech transmission on a radio channel, is also investigated.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"66 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":"120842345","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}
