An optimization methodology of the iteration latency is also described, which relates to the order of the messages updated by the processors, as well as to the sequence of layers the decoder goes through. The logic synthesis on 65 nm CMOS technology with low- power standard-cell library, shows that the proposed design is suitable for portable devices, the throughput ranging from 180 to 410 Mbps, and the power consumption being below 235 mW.","PeriodicalId":370937,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2007 - IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130010341","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 algorithm substantially improves the performance of purely hard-decision iterative algorithms with a small increase in the memory requirements and the computational complexity. We associate a reliability value to each nonzero element of the code's parity-check matrix, and differentially modify this value in each iteration based on the sum of the extrinsic binary messages from the check nodes. For the tested random and finite-geometry LDPC codes, the proposed algorithm can achieve performance as close as 1.3 dB and 0.7 dB to that of belief propagation (BP) at the error rates of interest, respectively. This is while, unlike BP, the algorithm does not require the estimation of channel signal to noise ratio. Low memory and computational requirements and binary message-passing make the proposed algorithm attractive for high-speed low-power applications.","PeriodicalId":370937,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2007 - IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130114796","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 present a simple yet efficient algorithm to enhance the system throughput by integrating opportunistic medium access and collision resolution through random subchannel backoff. Consequently, the resulting algorithm is called the opportunistic access with random subchannel backoff (OARSB) scheme. OARSB not only achieves distributed coordination among users but also reduces the amount of information exchange between the base station and users. The throughput and delay performance analysis of OARSB is conducted using a Markov chain model. The superior performance of OARSB over an existing scheme is demonstrated by analysis as well as computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":370937,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2007 - IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134417740","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 deploying the legacy multicast routing protocols to mobile core networks, there are some efficiency issues including traffic overhead from unnecessary sources, heavy group control messages, and performance degradation of multicast routers by large amount of multicast session states. Since SMARTNET uses stateless multicast mechanism based on XCast, it does not need to maintain multicast session states and there is no heavy control overhead like flooding after prune of DVMRP. It can dramatically reduce multicast packet overhead from unnecessary sources by means of source filtering. And light-weight multicast group control protocol of SMARTNET is designed to have interoperability with IGMPv3 from mobile nodes. Finally we evaluate and approve the performance of the proposed architecture with well-designed network simulations.","PeriodicalId":370937,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2007 - IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133906419","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}

For many codes belonging to this class, the conventional approach based on EXIT charts cannot be applied.

The statistical approach is a powerful and general framework for providing straightforwardly an approximated evaluation of the delay and buffer tail distributions in network schedulers. However, the input of the statistical approach is the statistical traffic envelope, which is not available for generic MMPP sources. We provide two statistical traffic envelopes, named two-moments and upper-bounding bucket, for a generic MMPP source, so as to use the rich collection of MMPP models of voice, audio, data and video sources available in the literature within the framework of the statistical approach. In this way, we can avoid the computational complexity of traditional Markov analysis with MMPP traffic, due to the exploding number of states as the number of MMPP sources grows. The tighter approximation is provided by the two-moments envelope while with the upper-bounding bucket envelope we can obtain simple closed-form solutions.","PeriodicalId":370937,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2007 - IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130790112","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}
