In addition to the thermal noise, in many applications such detectors are faced with self-noise due to imperfect correlations. Assuming random spreading code sequences, it is shown that the Gaussian approximation to the code partial autocorrelation distribution is very well justified. Based on the theory of circularly symmetric random variables, exact results for the detection performance of BPSK and QPSK schemes are obtained, and handy approximations are devised.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":394587,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 92 Conference Record","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116165388","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}

A protocol has been developed for the scheduling of incoming messages which, by considering their relative importance and criticality, displays them for processing by the commander. Improved decision-making is achieved by presenting the list of pending (unread) messages to the commander in an optimal order, thereby reducing decision cycle times. This aspect is referred to as value-based scheduling of information. To test the concept of value-based message scheduling, a software prototype of a C/sup 3/ workstation has been developed. The functional components of the C3WS software are described, and test trials that have been made are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":394587,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 92 Conference Record","volume":" 41","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120935417","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}
