The proposed DD technique is combined with the Optimised Hierarchy Reduced Search Algorithm (OHRSA) based Multi-User Detector (MUD) and directly calculates the Maximization-Step (M-Step) by conditionally maximizing the logarithmic likelihood function of the ``incomplete'' data. We avoid the employment of matrix inversion, since only a single subcarrier's Frequency-Domain CHannel Transfer Function (FD-CHTF) is calculated at a time, since we assume that the other subcarriers' FD-CHTFs are the most recent estimates from the previous iteration of the proposed scheme. Our simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed scheme is capable of reducing the received power requirement by $4 dB$ upon exploiting the error correction capability of a FEC decoder within the ECME loop.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88414029","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 achieve this, we use clustering. We first identify through analytical models and simulations the cases where clustering is helpful. Building on these results, we propose two clustering schemes that take into consideration the mobility properties of users in order to improve the WMN performance. We prove that both schemes can achieve significant gains in terms of radio resource utilization, especially when the number of simultaneous connections in the network increases. Specifically, we show that the first scheme fits better low-connected wireless mesh networks, whereas the second scheme is more suitable for highly-connected networks.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"87 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79427182","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}

More precisely, we focus on the level of collaboration between peers, their location and the effect of the traffic on the networks. Our results show that there is no fairness between peers and it is an important issue for the scalability of P2P-TV systems. Moreover, hundreds of Autonomous Systems are involved in the P2P-TV traffic and it points out the lack of locality-aware mechanisms for these systems.

In this paper, we propose a novel resource utilization mechanism (RUM) for improving the throughput in multi-rate UWB-based WPANs. RUM is intended to remedy a critical issue in both unicast and multicast transmissions. In unicast (single- and multi-hop), the connectivity of a source-destination pair is defined by the ability to overhear control messages (e.g., route requests, request-to-send/clear-to-send, etc.). These messages are usually sent at a low transmission rate to extend their reachability, hence a node can directly communicate with faraway destinations. Such destinations cannot be reliably reached by high transmission rates. This leads to a long channel reservation time and hence a high blocking probability for prospective reservations and low network throughput. In the case of multicast, the maximum transmission rate is bottlenecked by the farthest destination. RUM exploits opportunistic-relaying and time-spreading techniques to improve link reliability and increase the transmission rate, and hence network throughput. Simulations are used to demonstrate the performance gain of RUM.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"43 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77128444","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}

G.711). This extension is inserted between the G.711 encoder and decoder. It uses speech-polarity decomposition to spread the speech signal across two channels thus increasing robustness to channel losses. When both channels deliver their payloads the extension becomes transparent and bit-exact G.711 speech samples are produced-there is no quality penalty. Due to low inter-channel redundancy, block coding, and entropy coding, the average total speech payload bit-rate is no greater than the 64 kbps rate of conventional G.711-there is no rate penalty. When either channel fails to deliver, the remaining channel still produces intelligible speech with moderately reduced quality thanks to a compressed sine-pulse fill-in algorithm. We are not aware of any other viable multiple-description coding extension that simultaneously meets the opposing goals of no quality penalty and no rate penalty.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75617394","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 scheme is based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 and Host Identity Protocol, and allows users to handoff within and across different administrative domains. We consider two types of nodes: legacy nodes with no mobility support (e.g., end devices that depend on the vehicle's mobile router for the support of mobility), and mobility-enabled nodes (e.g., passengers that commute from/to vehicles and terminal stations). The main advantage of our scheme is to enable the inter-domain handover of both types of nodes with a reduced signalling overhead and packet losses. Performance evaluations demonstrate that our scheme improves the handover latency and packet losses compared to other global mobility management protocols.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82313755","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}
