The purpose of this paper is precisely to analyse quantitatively the performance of a smart antenna for a GSM-type downlink, from experimental data emitted at 810 MHz from a base station located in Paris and received on the mobile by a circular array of 5 dipoles, for different reception scenarios and both in the absence and in the presence of interference sources at the same frequency.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Physical layer modifications which are implemented include replacing the /spl pi//4 DQPSK modulation with the /spl pi//8-DSPSK modulation, changing the channel encoding approach as well as requiring the antenna diversity in the receiver. Much of the IS-136 slot and frame structure is preserved. The effects of channel, transmitter and receiver impairments on the performance of the system are studied through simulations. An incoherent differential detector and a coherent detector with differential decoding are evaluated. Simulation results show that slot error rates of 1% are achievable for SNRs around 25 dB for the worst considered case of Rayleigh fading with 10 Hz Doppler, 5 degrees of RMS phase noise in the transmitter and receiver each, and for two antenna preselection diversity when the difference in antenna signal strengths is equal to 3 dB. For 1 Hz Doppler and smaller RMS values of phase noise, the same slot error rate is achievable for close to 20 dB SNR.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

We introduce an adaptive VBR service suitable for the mobile networks, where the network provides minimum bandwidth guarantees, and assigns \"leftover\" bandwidth on a best-effort basis. An adaptive VBR service will help to ease the bandwidth management in the network through guaranteeing only minimum bandwidth. In order to fit this service, we design a layer source coder that separates VBR signal components into a CBR (constant bit rate) portion and a VBR portion. Specific resource allocation procedures are outlined for video traffic coded with a H.283 type two-layer codec and voice traffic generated on a talkspurt-by-talkspurt basis. The protocol is designed with the basic premise that there is a relatively large number of unused voice slots on average that can be used to carry \"add-on\" video packets. Numerical examples show that prioritized video transport under consideration can significantly improve picture quality, and allow better utilization of wireless resources through statistical multiplexing.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

This paper investigates one of these methods, referred to as antenna hopping, which consists in transmitting consecutive bursts of information on different antennas. Provided that the antenna branches are exposed to different multipath fading, a gain is achieved. Results from simulation of the GSM TCH/FS (full rate speech channel) reveal that the gain of hopping on two uncorrelated antennas is 2.9 dB for low speed terminals in an urban environment, and 5.4 dB for an indoor environment with semi-stationary users. The maximal gain is shown to be reduced at high cross-correlation and difference in path loss between the antenna branches. Antenna hopping combined with frequency hopping is shown to further enhance performance. With antenna hopping on two antennas, the maximal gain can be obtained by using frequency hopping on only 4 frequencies instead of 8 without antenna hopping. Finally, a comparison is made with delayed transmitter diversity, which is shown to have no essential advantages over antenna hopping at low terminal speed, which is the situation where diversity is really needed.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The method is based on the real-time computation of the probability of handover from the received signal strengths, and on tracking its global maximum by calculating its gradient.
