Three frequency domain algorithms based on the Bussgang property are given, two of which exhibit improved performance compared to the traditional Bussgang blind algorithms.

The affects of delay and bit-error rate (BER) were evaluated using a standard physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) (ETS 300 213) on an E1 carrier operating at 2.048 Mbps. Transmission at 2.048 Mbps is consistent with tactical satellite links, commercial public access, as well as, the capabilities of the NATO satellite communications (SATCOM) system. The results are presented in terms of throughput, which was found to vary substantially depending on the error rate, the delay, the site of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) and the TCP window size. Several conclusions have been reached based on analysis of test data and modelling: low-data-rate ATM cell relay operations over NATO SATCOM is viable and practical for tactical communications; BER, delay and protocol implementation can have a significant impact on the ATM performance; the impact of higher layer protocols, such as the Internet's transmission control protocol (TCP), may overshadow the impact of the ATM protocol.","PeriodicalId":410136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '96 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125036318","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 PCS systems under development based on Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites promise to provide worldwide connectivity. The mobile stations will be dual mode, with interconnectivity to the land-based PCS network where available, while accessing the LEO-based system in cases where the land-based infrastructure is unavailable. This combination promises to provide a cost-effective solution to meeting worldwide connectivity requirements. Ubiquity and mobility are key aspects of commercial PCS that are particularly attractive to the military. Also, PCS systems using digital spread spectrum technology can provide the military with performance in the areas of security and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI). Given that current policy is advocating the use of commercial equipment and systems, DOD contractors should use commercial off-the-shelf equipment and systems as much as possible. The Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) provided by GTE represents a large investment by the Army in tactical communications. Preservation of this investment through the use of judicious product improvement in times of stringent military budgets is of utmost importance. Providing \"wireless\" (PCS) access to MSE will enhance its performance and warfighting capability.","PeriodicalId":410136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '96 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125061277","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}

SNMPv2, eliminates many of the deficiencies found in SNMPv1. CMIP and CORBA provide a rich set of object oriented capabilities that enable NMSs to be modular and scaleable by utilizing the concept of data and function abstraction. Data and function abstraction provides an increase in task automation and a reduction in data diversity; as a result, the cost for the process of management is reduced.","PeriodicalId":410136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '96 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125064775","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}
