(2002)) requires many bit durations to converge. In order to reduce the processing time, a new algorithm, called the variable on-off (VOO), is proposed. This algorithm carries out the updating for chip duration instead of the bit duration, and performs the adaptation for the different paths at the same time. The latter operation allows us to reduce the processing time by L, where L is the number of paths. When the channel is subject to rapid variations or under high mobility, the angles of arrival change significantly over some symbol intervals. To overcome these problems, the variable step size of the VOO algorithm, which follows power gradient variation, allows the tracking of such an adverse environment, while simultaneously tracking the maximum power.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":"406-407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75594341","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 key element of the algorithm is the rigorous block-Toeplitz method with an FFT-based matrix-vector product accelerator, which can be used in conjunction with either the conventional MoM, or with the AIM (adaptive integral method) or FMM (fast multipole method) compression techniques. We refer to the resulting algorithms as the Toeplitz-MoM, Toeplitz-AIM, or Toeplitz-FMM matrix compressions. For a periodic distribution of array elements, the algorithm exploits the block-Toeplitz structure of the impedance matrix in three dimensions and allows the implementation of matrix-vector multiplication in terms of discrete fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) in spatial variables associated with distances between the array elements. This approach generalizes to antenna arrays with boundaries, arrays located on substrates, and similar not entirely periodic systems.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"81 1","pages":"428-429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91389916","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 current crowding of the spectrum leads to the investigation of more efficient uses of allocated bandwidth. Quadrature-vestigial-sideband (QVSB) is a bandwidth-efficient modulation scheme that doubles the data capacity of conventional VSB. By superimposing two VSB-modulated, independent data streams, QVSB can achieve data rates equivalent to conventional, Nyquist-filtered, double-sideband (DSB) schemes, using half the bandwidth. Efficient, high-rate, turbo-product-codes (TPCs) are used in conjunction with QVSB modulation, to achieve a system which is both power and bandwidth efficient. In particular, capacity performance is about 4 to 5.5 dB from the Shannon bound, up to approximately 5 bits/s/Hz, the highest capacity simulated thus far.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"127 6 1","pages":"113-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87761029","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}

While generally we determine the received signal given the initial waveform along with its distribution in space and the conditions between the source and received points, here we attempt to solve the inverse problem. That is, given the received signal at a point in space, reconstruct the source signal. Naturally this can be accomplished by a number of methods given the field distribution over a cross section of a region in space, but here we only wish to consider the possibility of being provided with the material conditions of the space between the source and receiver and the actual signal received at a point in space. A scheme for restoring such distorted waves has been presented by Foong (1959), based on a generalized Kac method (1959). Our approach is similar in that it relies upon a Feyman path integral formulation, but in a form quite different from that of Kac.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"227-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83118739","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}
