Rice distribution is used as theoretical reference, and the Rice parameter is obtained from measurements by adjusting the experimental and the theoretical cumulative distribution functions; good agreement is obtained between the two cases. An analysis of the level crossing rate is also carried out, the agreement being less favourable than the previous one. Results from a ray-tracing tool are also compared with theory, with good results only for the cumulative distribution function. It seems that Rice distribution can in fact be used to model the fast fading behaviour of this channel, and to describe second order statistical parameters. On the other hand, simulation tools seem to be unable to describe the signal with enough accuracy to obtain good results for second order parameters at specific locations of the scenarios.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Blind equalization becomes important for short burst communications, since training overhead can be significant when only a small number of bits are transmitted at a time. However, blind equalization has not been studied for cases where only a few bits are available in a burst for converging an adaptive blind equalizer. Several important points in applying blind equalization using constant modulus algorithm (CMA) to a short burst wireless communication have been identified. They include problems associated with convergence speed, ill convergence, short burst implications, dual mode operation, a fractionally spaced CMA equalizer and its initialization. Solutions to these problems are presented and incorporated in the algorithm. Simulations are performed using more than 4500 frequency-selectively fading channels. The results support the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

As a result of this requirement, automated traffic control systems have been evolving at a steady pace. Central to the operation of any automated traffic control system is the need to reliably detect vehicular traffic flow. Currently, this detection function was primarily carried out through the use of buried inductive loop sensors. Buried inductive loops have been in service for many years. Inductive loops typically require stopping or re-routing traffic during installation and are prone to breakage as a result of weather-related effects or construction. A variety of sensors have been developed for the replacement of buried loops. Of the technologies being employed in these sensors, those normally associated with all-weather day/night capability are radiating (active). Active sensors pose a certain degree of public health concern and are hence not a favoured solution. This paper describes the design and performance of a new, overhead vehicle sensor which relies on naturally occurring radio emissions. The sensor, mounted in an overhead or sidefire position, is intended to provide all-weather, day/night vehicle detection without any potential for public health safety impacts. Prototype test results are presented from a number of trial sites in varying weather conditions.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

We can derive various probability distributions by varying model parameters and observe the effects of parameters.

Simulation results show a performance greatly superior to that of the conventional receiver and close to the case of trained adaptive receivers.

The key elements of location management are paging and location registration/updating. This work shows that if intelligence is added to the sequential paging scheme in the form of speed and the most recent interaction area of a portable station (PS), then the cost of location management can be reduced substantially. It is shown that if the PS receives a call within a certain time after reporting its speed to the system, this simple intelligent scheme, which simply classifies subscribers as pedestrians and cars, is indeed better than simultaneous and sequential paging schemes. The schemes are also analysed under a two paging area constraint.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.
