Performance of relative signal strength handover algorithms is derived in a general environment with cross-correlated shadowings and interferers. Numerical results are presented for a bidimensional layout of hexagonal cells as well as for a lineal array of cells. It is seen that both cluster size and cross-correlation parameters may have a noticeable impact on algorithm performance. Hence they should be carefully considered in algorithm design.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

It is shown that in a comparative curve fitting of slow fading, Nakagami distribution also fits the fading data. Also in non-zero mean complex Gaussian channels, the segregation of slow and fast fading using moving mean normalization is illusionary as the fading parameters in both cases remain the same. We argue that radio link performance calculation based on the segregation of slow and fast fading are therefore unnecessary for Rice/lognormal or Nakagami/lognormal fading models and may be avoided in order to simplify complex analyses.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The wireless channel is modeled as a frequency selective fading channel with two time delay spread profiles, namely, a two-ray profile and a one-sided exponential profile. Turbo-TCM codes constructed from punctured turbo-codes combined with different modulation schemes are studied. It is found that turbo-TCM achieves unmatched performance of average irreducible BER. Turbo-TCM has much lower error probability than conventional TCM, especially in channels with high delay spread.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The first two systems propose to use a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme and the others a code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme. It is claimed that CDMA based S-PCNs can share the allocated frequency bands due to the interference resistant property of CDMA. In this paper, we present the results of the investigation on the total system capacity achievable by totally overlapped band sharing between the two systems such as Globalstar and Odyssey under perfect and imperfect power control conditions. Results for a single satellite system operating in a band segmentation approach are also presented for comparison, again under perfect and imperfect power control.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

In order to test the effectiveness of various algorithms such as diversity combining, phased array processing, and adaptive array processing in an indoor environment, a channel model is needed which models both the time and angle of arrival in indoor environments. Some data has been collected indoors and some temporal models have been proposed, but no existing model accounts for both time and angle of arrival. This paper discusses existing models for the time of arrival, experimental data (form the 6.75-7.25 GHz band) that were collected indoors, and a proposed extension of the Saleh-Valenzuela model (1987), which accounts for the angle of arrival. Model parameters measured in two different buildings are compared with the parameters presented in the paper by Saleh and Valenzuela, and some statistical validation of the model is presented.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

A common high power amplifier (HPA) has a temperature characteristic and its output level is not linearly amplified with the input level. A general power detector of a HPA using transistors has also a temperature characteristic. We suggest an intelligent control strategy to compensate the temperature characteristic and the effect of the input signal level to the HPA. An artificial neural network (ANN) is used to estimate the actual output power of the HPA based on power detection voltage for the given temperature and also to keep the open loop gain (HPA gain with a variable gain) constant. The stability problem, which is a hard issue when a system is non-linear, is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Among the design parameters, not only does the choice multiple access technique greatly influence the spectrum efficiency, it also dictates the total system design. Despite the recent phenomenal growth in the number of proposed multiple access protocols for voice/data systems, general methods for comparison are lacking in the literature. A comprehensive performance comparison of an important class of multi-access protocols, known as reservation-based random access protocols, is presented. Two main performance evaluation techniques are used: (1) cross comparison and (2) internal comparison. In the former method, the performances of protocols are compared with each other under the same system specifications. In the latter method, protocols are compared against their respective dynamic upper bounds. This dynamic upper bound is mathematically analysed using the \"queueing theory\". Then, a comprehensive comparison of the existing reservation-based protocols is performed and discussed using the both collation methods. Finally, conclusions are drawn and future research directions are proposed.","PeriodicalId":389634,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference.
