The idea is to split the frequency spectrum into two bands. One consisting of frequencies that can only be used when a high C/I ratio is ensured, the super frequencies, and the other consisting of frequencies that can be used throughout the whole cell, the regular frequencies. The minimum frequency reuse distance of the super frequencies can therefore be smaller than the reuse distance of the regular layer frequencies. By combining this reuse partitioning with frequency hopping, an increase in the network capacity in terms of carried traffic per cell is achieved. Simulations have indicated that for slow moving mobiles a gain of approximately 35% is achieved by this new feature when compared with a frequency hopping network. For faster moving mobiles the simulated gain is lower, approximately 26%. Modifications are proposed to optimise the simulated algorithms, to improve the capacity in terms of carried traffic per cell even further.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

We assume two types of mobile subscribers (MSs) with different distributions of moving speed, that is, users with low average moving speed (e.g. pedestrians) and high average moving speed (e.g. cars). A fixed number of channels in each cell are reserved for HRCs. The remaining channels are shared by both originating calls (OCs) and HRCs. Both kinds of HRCs make their own queues. Out of the channels reserved for HRCs, some are reserved exclusively for the high speed HRCs. The system is modeled by a three-dimensional Markov chain. We apply the successive over-relaxation (SOR) method to obtain blocking probabilities (BPs) of calls, forced termination probabilities (FTPs) and average length of the queues for HRCs. It is shown that FTPs of HRCs can be smaller than BP of OCs and FTP of high speed HRCs is smaller than that of the low speed ones.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The DSAMA provides a reliable, predictable aspects of medium access similar to those obtained in time division multiple access (TDMA) but is extended for the support of multirate CBR traffic. The DSAMA is a collision-free MAC scheme, and it enables one to limit the maximum slot access delay for multirate CBR traffic to the period of the traffic for guaranteed QoS.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

To support robust frequency planning, multi-operator scenarios, system coexistence and hierarchical cell structures, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and multicarrier techniques are viable choices. Further multiple access schemes presently under discussion are code division multiple access (CDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA). A mobile radio system concept deploying a hybrid frequency and time divided code division multiple access (F/T/CDMA) scheme with a multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) component, called MC/JD-CDMA, is proposed and performance results for the uplink are presented. Attractive features of the proposed system concept are the possibility to flexibly offer voice and data services with different bit rates, soft capacity, as well as inherent frequency and interferer diversity.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

We use simple analysis on the TCP window dynamics to determine the end-to-end throughput of a TCP connection with a wireless link and to demonstrate the impact of high error rate in a wireless environment. To improve the performance of the TCP in a wireless environment, a simple modification to the TCP, which uses negative acknowledgment as an explicit notification for packet corruption is proposed. The performance of the proposed \"NACK\"-based scheme is compared with an existing modified version, LHACK, for both binary and Rayleigh fading channels.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The goal is to compare predictions performed assuming buildings having a constant height and either (1) predictions considering the buildings with their real heights or (2) measurements. The three dimensional building layout (contour and height) and the topographical data are the geometrical inputs of the prediction tool. The study shows that predictions performed with the real building heights can be well approximated by predictions made with buildings having a constant height. The errors between the two predictions are Gaussian with a standard deviation of about 4 dB. A reasonable approximation of the constant value for the building height is given by the mean building height. Another good approximation of the constant building height value is obtained from a statistical analysis based on a set of measurement points.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.
