In addition, by making efficient use of the location information, the control overhead for rerouting is further reduced Our evaluation shows that the TDR protocol provides better QoS and requires lower control overhead compared to the other existing real-time QoS aware ad hoc routing protocols.","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":"123865831","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 addition of this coding, adding both redundancy and frequency diversity, comes at a cost of reduced overall throughput (typically by a factor of 2). PO-CI/OFDM is as a new methodology to enhance performance in OFDM systems, via channel coding, without bandwidth expansion or decreased throughput. Specifically, by placing 2N symbols pseudo-orthogonally on the N OFDM carriers (via the use of spreading codes) and by introducing rate 1/2 convolutional coding, PO-CI/OFDM achieves the benefit of channel coding in OFDM without the cost of throughput reduction. It is shown that, in BPSK systems, at a bit error rate of 10/sup -3/, this method gains 15 dB over OFDM, equaling the performance of traditional coded OFDM (COFDM) without the throughput reduction.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"24 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":"129360799","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}

Compared with the EEEE 802.11 approach, the proposed protocol achieves significant improvement in both throughput and energy consumption. The protocol relies on dynamic adjustment of the data-packet transmission power, while maintaining a fixed (maximum) transmission power for control (RTS/CTS) packets. Furthermore, it allows nodes to control the transmission power of the route request (RREQ) packets, which indirectly influences the next-hop selection at the upper routing layer. This is done by dynamically computing a node-dependent connectivity set. RREQ packets are broadcasted only to nodes within the connectivity set. The connectivity set guarantees the node's connectivity to the rest of the network, while at the same time enabling a simple (min-hop) routing algorithm to provide power-efficient routes. Channel gain and directional information obtain from overheard RTS/CTS exchanges are used to compute the connectivity set. Our protocol allows for concurrent yet interference-limited transmissions to take place in the vicinity of a receiver. A modified RTS/CTS exchange allows nodes to broadcast their interference margins and requested transmission powers.","PeriodicalId":420635,"journal":{"name":"The 5th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications","volume":"138 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":"116385038","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 goal, to have an end-to-end management functionality in 3/4G service networks, is very challenging and, therefore, also very rewarding. For this purpose, we have developed an in-band service control protocol and framework concept for 3/4G services.

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}
