A major finding of this study is that CDMA with pseudonoise spreading sequences (PN-CDMA) does not perform any better than TDMA and that both multiple access schemes give virtually identical performance. We give a supporting interpretation of this result pointing out that TDMA is a special case of CDMA and that the argument of increased robustness to narrowband interference through spectral spreading equally applies to TDMA. Another finding is that orthogonal CDMA (OCDMA) has an entirely different behavior from TDMA and PN-CDMA in that the performance degradation is not the same for all users. Using continuous-wave (CW) interference, it was found that OCDMA can support a significant number of users at interference values which break both TDMA and PN-CDMA. We also point out some similarities between OCDMA and OFDMA, and highlight the fact that OFDMA is the most resistant multiple access technique to narrowband interference.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

Since faults are inevitable, quick detection, identification, and recovery are crucial to make the systems more robust and their operation more reliable. This paper proposes a novel event correlation scheme for fault identification in communications network. This scheme is based on the algebraic operations of sets. The causality graph model is used to describe the cause-and-effect relationships between network events. For each problem, and each symptom, a unique prime number is assigned. The use of the greatest common devisor (GCD) makes the correlation process simple and fast. A simulation model is developed to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme. From simulation results, we notice that this scheme not only identifies multiple problems at one time but also is insensitive to noise alarms. The time complexity of the correlation process is close to a function of n, where n is the number of observed symptoms, with order O(n/sup 2/); therefore, the on-line fault identification is easy to achieve.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

The two types (intra-visitor location register (VLR) and inter-VLR) of LR, and fixed detach traffic are considered. Simulation is carried out to calculate the LR processing capacity. For the performance parameters, we adopt the utilization rate, waiting time and queue length in each processor. Additionally, we compute the delay times for LR processing and compare them with grade of service criteria. From the results, it is estimated that the LR processing capacity is 153,000 LRs/hour where the utilization rate of the location management processor is 40%, ratio for the type of LR is intra-VLR: inter-VLR=60:40% and average message processing time of the processor is 0.2 msec.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

The wireless links are characterized by higher error rates and burstier error patterns in comparison with the fiber-based links for which ATM was designed. Since the poor performance of TCP over wireless ATM networks is mainly due to the fact that TCP always responds to all packet losses by congestion control, the key idea in the design is to push the error control portion of TCP to the AAL layer so that TCP is only responsible for congestion control. The AAL-X is based on a novel and reliable ARQ mechanism to support quality-critical TCP traffic over wireless ATM networks. The proposed AAL protocol has been validated using the OPNET tool on the simulated wireless ATM network. The simulation results show that the AAL-X provides higher throughput for TCP over wireless ATM networks compared to the existing approach of TCP with AAL 5.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

In the reverse link non-coherent detection is applied without pilot signals. In this paper, the reverse link pilot-tones aided synchronization which utilizes the aided pilots to facilitate the timing and carrier recovery (with linear complexity to the number of users) is proposed based on the development of multiuser synchronization. In the meanwhile, with proper separation of these transmitted aided pilot tones over frequency and/or time domain controlled by the base station, it is easy to identify these pilots. With more practical considerations, the proposed pilot-tones aided synchronization still works when the other mobile handsets transmit their packets simultaneously. The enhanced-performance linear minimum mean square error detector which considers the aided pilots and outperforms the linear minimum mean square error detector is proposed and analytically shown to provide better performance. In the simulations, the huge performance gain clearly illustrates potential applications in future CDMA wireless systems.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

Congestion duration is defined as the number of consecutive frames lost due to congestion. The global congestion control scheme is based on the leaky bucket and virtual leaky bucket techniques. It prioritizes transit traffic over local traffic and ensures quality of service (QOS) to several classes of traffic (i.e., video, voice and data, etc.). Early warning cells with congestion criteria are transmitted periodically to all adjacent nodes. The transport users modulate end-to-end flow control parameters, i.e., protocol data unit size in case of video and voice users, and window size in case of data users, based on the instantaneous global congestion status. Simple analytical formula is derived for congestion duration. The leaky bucket scheme provided better congestion performance compared to virtual leaky bucket scheme.","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.

This is demonstrated for target bit error rates of 1 and 0.01%, respectively, in comparison to conventional fixed modems. However, the achievable gains depend strongly on the prevalent interference levels and hence interference cancellation is invoked on the basis of adjusting the demodulation decision boundaries after estimating the interfering channel's magnitude and phase. Using given modem-mode switching levels and with the aid of interference cancellation, target BERs can be maintained over slow-fading channels for a wide range of channel signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and signal-to-interference ratios (SIR).","PeriodicalId":414137,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 1998 (Cat.
