The measurement setup is based on the swept time-delay cross-correlation technique and has a time-delay resolution of 33 ns. The use of automatic gain control (AGC) circuitry in the RF stage permitted the observation of the spatial variation of the multipath power delay profile and RMS delay spread. The experimental work investigated the dependence of RMS delay spread on base antenna height, gain, downtilt and distance in the LOS and non-LOS regions of the microcell. The results obtained indicate that (a) the RMS delay spread is less than or equal to 520ns/280ns in the LOS/non-LOS regions, (b) that the delay spread increases with antenna height and with the use of a directional antenna but decreases with downtilt. Furthermore, the RMS delay spread results are compared with theoretical results obtained using geometrical optics (GO) and the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":383541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127755279","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 we initially calculate the cumulative effect of the phase noise contributions from the oscillators in the ground based transmitter, satellite transponder, and the ground based receiver. We will discuss the cases where the carrier power-to-phase noise power ratio is much larger and much smaller than the carrier power-to-noise/interference power ratio. We extend our results to the case of non-white phase noise spectrum and compare with actual oscillator spectra. We also will discuss complications arising from the fact that one cannot change the phase noise characteristics of the spacecraft. We conclude by illustrating how these analyses can be used to predict the increase in error probability due to phase noise.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":383541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC)","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133691984","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 the analysis, the system is assumed to employ coherent BPSK modulation and direct sequence spreading and the received signals are assumed to undergo Rayleigh fading, log-normal shadowing and frequency selective fading.

This makes transmit antenna selection diversity possible to combat performance loss in slow fading channels. The best transmit antenna is selected on the basis of signal measurements in preceding receive time slots. Previously proposed selection algorithms have poor performance, if the signal measurements are corrupted by noise. The structure of the optimum selection algorithm for noisy coherent signal measurements is reviewed. It involves an adaptive linear predictor. The design of an optimum nonadaptive predictor is described and the error performance of a system with DECT-like parameters is given. Almost the full diversity gain can be maintained for mobile speeds up to 12 km/h.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":383541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134377081","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}

Two type of traffic shape are assumed; uniform and exponentially tapered traffic. It is shown that each plane has the optimum cell radius for the prescribed subscriber numbers. Therefore it is desirable to integrate the two systems for the support of full mobility.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":383541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133078841","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}
