As large metropolitan systems mature, customers expect coverage further and further out into the suburbs. Rural systems under development, on the other hand, may project only enough subscribers to justify a single cell site. Both of these systems would benefit from a booster that would significantly extend coverage, but cost only a fraction of the amount of a conventional cell site. The Extend-A-Cell IV high power repeater system has been designed with these applications in mind. The high-power, frequency-translating cellular repeater is designed to significantly extend the coverage range of a cell site. This repeater is frequency-agile and translating, completely remote controlled, and unlike earlier boosters that required donor-cell sectorization requires no system modifications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366352,"journal":{"name":"40th IEEE Conference on Vehicular Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126389432","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}

It has also shown categorically that sigma /sub L/ is independent of path length. Large amounts of data were collected along several survey routes, so that the parameters of a local mean fading simulator could be determined. The power spectral density of the local mean signal measured along rural routes is estimated. The relative spectral density of the local mean signal variations is found to be always less than -10 dB for frequencies greater than f/sub D//360.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366352,"journal":{"name":"40th IEEE Conference on Vehicular Technology","volume":"s3-50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130238653","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}

Excellent operation of the NLDC was confirmed within a backoff range of more than 4 dB. Within this range, the out-of-band emission was kept 55 dB below the center frequency level. Since the peak output power coincides with the saturation power at a 4 dB backoff, the NLDC improves the backoff to the theoretical limit.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366352,"journal":{"name":"40th IEEE Conference on Vehicular Technology","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131483163","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}

Instead of a fixed valued pilot symbol sequence, a scrambled pilot symbol sequence is transmitted to measure, and therefore to compensate for, the Rayleigh fading channel. The bit error rate (BER) performance of this system is investigated in fast Rayleigh fading, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), and cochannel interference (CCI) environments by using computer simulation. The simulated results show that a 2.5 dB improvement is achieved over the differentially detected pi /4-DQPSK at a BER of 10/sup -3/. Unlike the differentially detected pi /4-DQPSK, the system does not have an error floor or residual bit error, provided that the frame length N is not longer than the upper limit of frame length, N/sub max/. Another significant advantage is that the proposed IJF-OQPSK modulated signal is shown to suffer less spectral spreading than pi /4-QPSK signaling over a nonlinearly amplified channel.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366352,"journal":{"name":"40th IEEE Conference on Vehicular Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127825972","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 order to improve the reliability of the transmission, the ARQ (automatic repeat request) scheme is introduced onto the multicast packet data transmission, and several retransmission methods are compared. In the usual point-to-point ARQ schemes, response from the listener is either ACK or NAK. Thus, the listener responds with a reply frame regardless of whether the I-frame from the talker was received successfully. but in some cases, one of the ACK and the NAK responses is not necessary because the other has the opposite meaning. The approach is based on this point of view. The NAK is chosen for the response to the I-frame, so that if the I-frame is received successfully, then the listener issues no response to it. The method is called NAK only ARQ. The NAK only ARQ scheme has superior throughput characteristics in spite of its simplicity.

All control channels are multiplexed on the same carrier so that mobile stations can monitor signal strength quickly. Experimental results show that a handoff decision can be made within a second, even under slow fading (such as walking speed), which agrees with the theoretical calculation very well.
