The zero-outage capacity regions and the associate optimal resource allocation policies are obtained for CD with and without successive decoding, for TD and for FD. We show that in an M-user broadcast system, the outage capacity region is implicitly obtained by deriving the outage probability region for a given rate vector. Given the required rate of each user, we find a strategy which bounds the outage probability region for different spectrum-sharing techniques. The corresponding optimal power allocation scheme is a multi-user generalization of the threshold-decision rule for a single-user fading channel. Also discussed is a simpler minimum common outage probability problem under the assumption that the broadcast channel is either not used at all when fading is severe or used simultaneously for all users. Numerical results for various outage capacity regions are obtained for the Nakagami-m fading model.","PeriodicalId":395433,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Communications Theory Mini-Conference (Cat.

This algorithm finds the linear minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimate of the future fading coefficients given a fixed number of previous observations. In this paper, we show that the superior performance of this algorithm is due to its lower sampling rate relative to the conventional (data rate) methods of fading prediction. We also enhance the algorithm by an adaptive prediction and tracking method that increases accuracy and maintains the robustness of long-term prediction as the physical channel parameters vary. Finally, we show that large improvements in the bit error rate (BER) are possible when the proposed prediction method is used. In particular, analysis of the channel inversion with threshold technique is presented to demonstrate that the BER can be reduced to the level of and beyond the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.","PeriodicalId":395433,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Communications Theory Mini-Conference (Cat.

The DF-DD metric is derived from the multiple-symbol detection (MSD) metric and for error-free feedback an exact expression for the bit error rate for the widely used QDPSK constellation (M=4) is calculated. Furthermore, the dependence of the bit error rate on the power spectrum of the fading process is investigated for feedback filters of infinite order. It is shown that in this case, for ideally bandlimited fading processes the error floor of conventional differential detection (DD) can be remove entirely. Simulation results confirm that DF-DD with feedback filters of finite order can reduce the error floor of conventional DD significantly.","PeriodicalId":395433,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Communications Theory Mini-Conference (Cat.

Antenna hopping is one approach for using transmit antennas to obtain diversity gain. With antenna hopping, cyclic or pseudo-random hopping is used to transform spatial diversity into time diversity which can be exploited by appropriate error correction codes and interleaving techniques. Unfortunately, this incurs latency due to the interleaving requirements and/or possible bandwidth expansion due to the error correction code. To alleviate this problem we propose decision-directed antenna hopping where the antenna selected for transmission is a function of the current and past data. This enables diversity gain without constellation expansion, bandwidth expansion, of interleaving, similar in spirit to space-time trellis codes. We illustrate our idea with simple 2, 4, 8, and 16 state codes which achieve a rate of 1 b/s/HZ with two transmit antennas. Analytical calculations and simulations assuming perfect channel knowledge are used to characterize performance of these codes.","PeriodicalId":395433,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Communications Theory Mini-Conference (Cat.
