Telatar and Gallager (1995) and Telatar (1992) proposed a multi-access scheme over a no-fading AWGN channel and considered both these factors jointly. By formulating this scheme as a processor sharing queue with a single class of customers, the expected duration of signal (encoded messages) transmission for a given probability of decoding error was determined. Along similar lines, we analyse the multi-access scheme over flat slow fading channels and show that the multi-access scheme formulates as a processor sharing queueing system with multiple classes of customers with each customer belonging to a class determined by the SNR value at which it is received. The performance measures of interest in our study are: (a) the maximum stable throughput, and (b) the signaling duration for a tolerable message. We also conjecture the stability condition of the processor sharing queue. We simulate the scheme to obtain average delays over Rayleigh fading channels, Rician fading channels with Rician factors K=1 and K=1000 and no-fading AWGN channels. The results for the different fading channels are compared for equal values of average received SNR. We find that there is a threshold for the average received SNR, above which the average delay for the fading channel is less than that for the no-fading channel.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference.

In this paper, the spreading and despreading waveforms of different users are optimized by using the instantaneous channel parameters. The maximum receive signal to interference plus noise ratio criterion under the constraint of the fixed transmission power is used to optimize the spreading and despreading waveforms. We find that the proposed scheme can be understood as an adaptive frequency hopping systems. The numerical results indicate that, compared with the conventional spreading waveforms such as Gold sequences, the optimal waveforms can greatly decrease the multiaccess interference. When the optimal waveforms are combined with the antenna arrays, the system performance can be further improved.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference.

Several multicast routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks. Issues associated with such a network include dynamics in network topology, limited link bandwidth and limited power life. We present the performance evaluation of two categories of multicast routing algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks, namely: (a) flooding-based, and (b) associativity-based multicast routing. Two multicast routing protocols based on these two classes are simulated in a common network environment. Simulation results obtained reveal the superior characteristics of our proposed associativity-based multicast routing scheme under the scenario of low to moderate mobility. The flooding-based scheme, however, results in very high communication overhead even though it is able to maintain good throughput in a scenario with very high mobility.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference.

BER expressions that are easy to evaluate numerically are derived for a generalized fading environment with a co-channel interference and Gaussian noise. Specifically, we assume that the fading environment is such that the channel may be characterized by a spherically invariant random process (SIRP), with the received signal envelope following the Nakagami-m (1960) distribution. This channel model is sufficiently general to characterize different degrees of fading severity for the desired and interfering signals.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference.

When the payload is small, such as is often the case for voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications, these headers can use a large percentage of the available bandwidth. The overhead can be especially undesirable in wireless environments, where bandwidth is often both scarce and expensive. Error rates in these environments can be very high, dictating the need for robustness as well. This paper describes an IP/UDP/RTP header compression scheme called ACE (adaptive header compression), which utilizes traditional header compression concepts, but adds several new mechanisms to achieve very good bandwidth efficiency. Robustness to errors and error bursts is also achieved.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference. Conference Record (Cat.

The power distribution under a multirate wideband CDMA environment is investigated. It is shown that power control is a function of the spread bandwidth, user data rates, and the user QoS requirements. A power control algorithm, based on a convergence criterion, is proposed. Numerical results which demonstrate the viability of the power control algorithm are presented.","PeriodicalId":404304,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference.
