The RACH structure and procedure as defined by 3GPP are not directly applicable for satellite-UMTS (S-UMTS) due to the different characteristics of the satellite channel. Based on the optimized schemes proposed for S-UMTS RACH, this paper investigates the issue of assigning services with different quality of service (QoS) requirements to different access service classes (ASCs). Such service differentiation is required in third generation wireless systems where multiple service classes with different QoS parameters are to be supported. Via simulations, it is shown that service differentiation is possible through appropriate RACH resource allocation among these different ASCs.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"9 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":"115519592","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}

However the interference resulting from the transmissions from multiple base sites in the forward link during the soft handoff constrains the multiple access capacity. Site selection diversity transmission (SSDT) technique is able to mitigate the interference caused by transmissions from the multiple base sites. The 3/sup rd/ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has specified this technique for the W-CDMA FDD component of UMTS. This paper describes the SSDT technique and presents capacity simulation results. It is shown that the capacity gain is dependent on the Doppler speed of mobile terminals and correlation of shadow fading between adjacent cells.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"235 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":"127045992","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 aim of both algorithms is to handle the handover issue in low Earth orbit satellite networks. These systems are characterized by a high rate of handover attempts which can degrade significantly their performance. Therefore, we first propose TCRA, a scheme which guarantees a null handover failure probability by using a channel reservation strategy in the cells to be crossed by the user. Secondly, we extend the mechanism into TCRA-O to take into account the call termination probability. Both mechanisms are compared to the GH (guaranteed handover) scheme previously proposed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"27 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":"126832018","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}

All users share the same frequency resource, therefore 3G networks are commonly believed to be interference limited. For this reason it is of utmost importance to exploit all possibilities in keeping the interference level as low as possible. One means for this, already used in 2G systems, is adjusting the downtilt of the antennas in a way, reducing the interference transmitted and received as much as possible, still ensuring the required coverage. In earlier studies it has been shown how careful radio network planning already in the preoperational phase can drastically increase 3G network performance. Optimal downtilt was found by applying a constant tilt to all cells in the network. The network consisted only of very high sites and therefore the gains of e.g. 40-50% in capacity were considered to be optimistic. The scope of the simulations for this paper therefore was to evaluate the gains in terms of capacity by optimizing the antenna tilt of WCDMA networks cell by cell in a more realistic environment, showing still gains of up to 20%.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"39 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":"127277415","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}

Furthermore, in order to improve their performance, convolutional codes (CC) have been added as outer encoders to MRC, STBC and STD, while for STTrC, a CC plus iterative decoding has been considered in order to perform space-time turbo coded modulation (STTuCM).

The major gain from the evolutionary computation algorithms is more rapid optimization on systems of linear equations compared with the simple genetic algorithm (SGA). Employing distributed constrained power control (DCPC) and bang-bang (BB) algorithms as the basic reference, we have designed and implemented computational experiments on the DS-CDMA system. The proposed EC-DCPC phenotypic algorithm is compared with the DCPC algorithm. The GA-DCPC genotypic algorithm is also compared with the BB algorithm used in IS-95 and W-CDMA systems. The simulation results indicate that the proposed EC-DCPC phenotypic and GA-DCPC genotypic algorithms significantly decrease mobile terminal power consumption compared with the DCPC and BB algorithms, respectively.
