Performance results in terms of average and variance of packet access delay, channel utilization, and percentage of packets lost due to lack of buffers are obtained through simulation for variable geographic coverage and data rate, assuming a mix of voice and data traffic.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115051291","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}

As an example, the theory is developed for the unit-memory 1+ alpha z/sup -1/ channel. The authors first explain why multidimensional signals should be used over ISI channels by showing how the minimum Euclidean distance and the cutoff rate R/sub 0/ increase by increasing the dimensionality of the signals transmitted. Two ways of increasing the reliability of transmission over an ISI channel are discussed. The first way consists of increasing the energy associated with the symbols more affected by ISI. The second way uses a coding scheme which selectively protects those symbols. Generalized concatenated-codes are advocated for this purpose.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133807476","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}

An important feature of this approach is that the complexity does not grow with the number of chains (classes), but only with the number of noninfinite server stations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116723839","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}

The impact of switch speedup on the performance is explicitly taken into account. It is found that the switch speedup required to approach the ideal performance, obtained by having the switch fabric run N times as fast as the input and output channels, is small compared with N. This makes the practical realization of the proposed switch architecture feasible.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"323 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122103065","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}

This can be achieved by implementing the X.25 level-3 protocol on the LAN stations. Interconnection between LAN and WAN can be realized by gateways supporting the X.25/PLP on both sides. The structure of such a gateway is discussed, focusing on the protocol, relaying, and routing aspects.
