We present a loop-free, distributed multicast routing protocol for wireless networks that consist of an arbitrarily large number of nodes, each of which is mobile in an unpredictable manner. Most existing multicast protocols have been developed for non-wireless, stationary networks in which there is an abundance of bandwidth and where intended destinations initiate their connection to the multicast tree. In mobile wireless networks of the future, bandwidth may be limited if not scarce, and in addition to destination initiated connections, there will be purely source-initiated multicasts. We propose a combined multicast routing and resource reservation protocol, which is source-initiated and which uses dynamic frequency allocation to establish, and maintain, connections to desired destinations in the randomly varying topology of ad-hoc wireless networks. Power control is applied to tradeoff between routing delays and frequency reuse factor.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"27 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":"121098240","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}

Further, the effect of using different detection block lengths in the modified MAP algorithm is studied and the use of two-branch equal-gain combining and selection diversity is also considered. Finally, we compare the performance of the MAP algorithm based equalization with our previously proposed equalization scheme which combines decision feedback equalization (DFE) and TCM.","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":"131061871","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 show that linear interference cancellation schemes are asymptotically zero-forcing which means that they are equivalent to the decorrelating detector if the number of stages approaches infinity. These detectors have been found to be superior to the conventional matched filter detector. However, the design of spreading sequences optimized especially for these receivers has not been considered up to now. Usually, spreading sequences are designed to have a low peak correlation parameter. Pursley (1977) has shown that the average interference parameter (AIP) is an important design parameter since it is related to the average signal-to-interference ratio of the conventional receiver. In this paper, we consider the construction of spreading sequences for zero-forcing multiuser detectors that are optimal in the sense of performance and near-far resistance. It is shown that sequences with a low AIP are near-optimal. This, again, stresses the importance of the AIP for the design of spreading sequences for CDMA systems employing any kind of receiver. Numerical examples indicate that by using optimized sequences the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be improved by about 1-2 dB for lengths of interest in applications.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"136 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":"131092136","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 consider the use of a sliding correlator-type structure for the acquisition scheme. Since acquisition of a PN sequence in DS-CDMA systems can be formulated as testing two simple hypotheses, we apply fixed sample size for the synchronization test. The acquisition schemes require the knowledge of the partial correlation of Gold sequences, which is difficult to model. We propose the use of an approximate upper bound and then further linearize it for ease of designing the test scheme. The acquisition performance of Gold sequence based DS-CDMA systems is analyzed and is compared to that of m-sequence based ones. Numerical results indicate that the use of Gold sequences is very suitable for DS-CDMA systems. In addition, analytical results are verified by computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"163 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":"134369081","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 paper presents a generic capacity analysis applied to a GSM-CDMA overlay. The effects of shadowing and imperfect implementation of sectorization, power control and notch filtering are modeled for both uplink and downlink. Based on maximum allowable levels of mutual interference, the total system capacity is modeled and evaluated. Under moderate shadowing and perfect implementation of sectorization, power control and notch filtering, the results match those obtained in previous analyses by other authors, i.e., a capacity gain factor between 3 and 4. However, for low GSM margins in addition to imperfect sectorization, power control and notch filtering, the capacity gain is shown to reduce significantly. Particularly under heavy shadowing conditions, the overlay does not lead to capacity gain. The propagation loss factor and notch filtering are shown to have a large influence on the results. Provided almost perfect notch filtering and power control, the downlink performs slightly better than the uplink.","PeriodicalId":362340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 8th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications - PIMRC '97","volume":"10 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134393192","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}
