It is shown that, compared to the case in which there is only receiver CSI, large capacity gains are available with an optimal power and rate adaptation scheme.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121397862","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}

Many research studies have been raised to help TCP be more sensitive to the network congestion by adding explicit notifications in TCP connection or letting the intermediate nodes in the network to join TCP congestion control. In GPRS/EGPRS systems and other 3G cellular networks, the radio network controller chooses among several channel coders according to the signal to interference ratio. Hence, the channel data rate that an individual user experiences is time-dependent and variable. We propose a TCP window control mechanism that adapts to the variable channel data rates. Our simulations show that the window adaptive TCP decreases the buffer occupancy and packet transmission delay, and achieves better throughput utilization when compared with the standard TCP Tahoe version and the Reno version.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126568635","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}

To effectively manage the radio resources, shared between these different QoS classes has become an important network planning issue. In this paper, the maximum available resource, R/sub max/, of a cell (per sector per carrier) is defined in terms of the maximum downlink transmission power, the average propagation loss, the orthogonality factor, and the other-to-own-cell interference ratio. The resource sharing factor of each traffic class can be calculated by dividing the total resource allocated for that class by the maximum available resource, R/sub max/. The summation of the resource sharing factors of all traffic classes is smaller than one. This paper also shows that the average throughput of the downlink is a weighted sum of the resource sharing factors. Downlink throughput calculations for various traffic conditions with mixed QoS classes are presented by using the derived weighted sum equation.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116093531","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}

Our study determines that many factors influence the utility of hello messages, including allowed hello message loss settings, discrepancy between data and hello message size and 802.11b packet handling.

However, Bluetooth-based ad hoc networking raises several issues due to the characteristics of the technology such as spread spectrum and the asymmetric communication model. In this paper, we propose a network formation model that considers the technical characteristics of Bluetooth. The proposed model identifies three essential phases that a Bluetooth system must implement to form an ad hoc network, namely, (1) neighbor discovery, (2) neighbor grouping, and (3) role assignment. Each of these phases introduces several design trade-offs, producing a design space that encompasses previously proposed designs as well as new designs. Based on this observation, we propose a new ad hoc network formation protocol called Bluestars. The proposed protocol has nice properties such as shorter average distance between nodes, higher reachability between nodes, and lower overheads associated with an addition of new nodes, yet it is simple enough to be implemented in a small system.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122808364","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 number of pilot tones needed exceeds the maximum length of the channel delay (normalized to the symbol period) by one. The best estimate of the channel values in between pilots can be acquired by an IFFT, zero padding and an FFT. Such an estimator gives perfect estimate of the channel in the absence of noise and synchronization errors. However, in the presence of frame synchronization errors, its performance degrades, especially for timing offsets to the right. In this paper, we analyze the sensitivity of such channel estimator to frame synchronization errors, explaining how it is more affected by timing offsets to the right than those to the left. Then through utilizing this sensitivity, we propose a low complexity method to correct frame synchronization errors, which can improve the performance considerably without a need for added training overhead.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122927145","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}
