The partial joint processing scheme is a user-centric approach where subclusters or active sets of base stations are dynamically defined for each user in the cluster. In frequency selective channels, the definition of the subclusters or active set thresholding of base stations can be frequency adaptive (per resource block) or non-adaptive (averaged over all the resource blocks). Frequency adaptive thresholding improves the average sum-rate of the cluster, but at the cost of an increased user data interbase information exchange with respect to the non-adaptive frequency thresholding case. On the other hand, the channel state information available at the transmitter side to design the beamforming matrix is very limited and rank deficiency problems arise for low values of active set thresholding and users located close to the base station. To solve this problem, an algorithm is proposed that defines a cooperation area over the cluster where the partial joint processing scheme can be performed, frequency adaptive or non-adaptive, for a given active set threshold value.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125361841","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}

A generic encapsulation protocol is therefore required for the forward link, the return link, and for mesh satellite systems. Moreover, because of the cost and the scarcity of resources, this should be as efficient and light as possible. The GSE (Generic Stream Encapsulation) protocol enables efficient transport of any protocol, originally designed for DVB-S2, that is to say on Quasi Error Free (QEF) forward links of satellite systems. This paper addresses limitations in GSE for the return link context and examines the requirements for an encapsulation mechanism for satellite systems using multiple access. This includes the return link but also mesh satellite systems and any satellite systems that uses multiple access. This paper also analyses approaches to derive requirements and provides a first analysis of these requirements.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126344874","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}

In order to improve packet transmission reliability and achieve efficient transmission in fading environment, this paper proposes an integrated dynamic multi-hopping scheme based on a cross-layer approach and cognitive behavior of local nodes. The scheme provides two important functions, temporary bypassing and dynamic shortcut, to achieve the goals. The proposed MAC protocol avoids their conflict by giving priority to the shortcut path over the bypass and original passes. Moreover, the transmission reliability can be further improved by triple-path diversity. Packet transmission success probability and average transmission delay were analyzed and evaluated for a basic two-hop model. The results show that the proposed scheme can achieve better transmission reliability with reduced transmission delay, compared with previous multi-hop schemes.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123830242","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}
