The voice traffic is given higher priority over the data traffic to accommodate the delay requirement for an acceptable quality of service (QoS). This is implemented by assigning the TCP protocol for the data and the UDP protocol for the voice. The relationship between the data throughput and the number of the voice users supported in this environment is analyzed. The improved multi-band excitation (IMBE) voice encoding technique, proposed for the APCO-25 and used in the INMARSAT-M and AUSSAT mobile satellite communications, is adopted to provide a low transmission rate with an acceptable quality.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"99 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":"127103387","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}

On the forward link of the system, it is necessary to achieve high bit rate transmission and to reduce the complexity of the receiving terminal. To meet these two requirements, cyclically shifted spreading sequences are utilized. However, it is necessary to orthogonalize the multiple signals since these sequences are cross-correlated. One way of achieving orthogonalization is pre-decorrelation. However, the orthogonality does not clearly appear in a multipath fading channel because of the interchip interference caused by multipath. Therefore in this paper, pre-decorrelation is combined with multicarrier modulation. The results obtained through computer simulation show that the proposed technique can achieve orthogonality in a multipath fading channel. Also the proposed technique makes efficient forward link power control possible, and reduces intercell interference.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"50 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":"128385339","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}

We first introduce a new mathematical technique that can be considered as generalization of FM noise-click theory, and thus allows insights into the error mechanisms. Building on those insights, we propose and verify that a nonlinear frequency discriminator can achieve zero error floor for pure binary FSK and drastically reduced the error floor for filtered FSK by clipping off the ISI-induced FM clicks. The stronger the filtering (before or after the frequency discriminator), the more the beneficial effect of the nonlinearity is reduced. Finally, we show that increasing the modulation index decreases the error floor, especially in the presence of frequency shifts. Our results suggest the design of improved receivers that are less sensitive to ISI.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"33 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":"134388637","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}

Moreover, the proposed system employs a soft power control technique to enhance the advantages of the channel activation technique. Computer simulation confirms that the proposed system can achieve a higher system capacity with a smaller soft hand-off margin and a smaller average transmitter power.","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":"131701409","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 test the DECT under real life conditions one of the new network operators, namely o.tel.o Kommunikationssysteme GmbH (former RWE Telliance GmbH), has set up a large field-trial system in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. A key issue is the spectrum needed for DECT as a WLL system, as the WLL system has to share the 20 MHz of DECT spectrum with all private systems, e.g. cordless phones and cordless private branch exchanges. A special \"hot spot\" test campaign within the Gelsenkirchen field-trial system is described. The public WLL and PCS systems were heavily loaded with traffic. In addition 35 private DECT telephones which generated a traffic load of approximately one Erlang each were set up in the hot spot area. The performance of the private and the public systems were measured. Test results show a very good performance of the private system and a good performance of the public system under this \"hot spot\" condition.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"2 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":"129004086","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}

This structure is particularly suitable to accomplish receiver and transmitter macrodiversity since the same RF channel can be transmitted and received through multiple ports, thus providing a large coverage area in which mobiles do not have to switch channels when roaming. This paper investigates the performance of multitransmitter diversity in fading channels, in noise and interference limited conditions. The problem differs from diversity reception in that signal combining is now non-coherent. Results are presented in terms of radio coverage and cochannel reuse efficiency firstly under Rayleigh fading only and secondly in a city street microcell environment. Simulcasting is an effective shadowing counteraction in noise conditions and achieves similar performance to no diversity in interference conditions.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"31 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":"129371507","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 problem with the conventional adaptive tracking algorithms is that the adaptation performance is dictated by the choice of the convergence parameter or step size. We employ a multi-target tracking method and modify its tracking performance by an adaptive step size. The simulation results show that the proposed adaptive control of the convergence parameter gives fast convergence and small misadjustment errors, which cannot be combined by using fixed step size.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"1952 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":"129105049","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}
