A Markov description is assumed for the channel, which allows closed-form solutions and can effectively model many situations of interest. Outage events are defined as the channel being attenuated for at least a time duration (minimum duration outage). Also, extensions of this concept and applications to higher-layer performance are discussed.

Minimum duration outages in Rayleigh fading channels
Minimum duration outages have been introduced in [1, 2] for lognormal shadow fading where the durations of signal fades were considered in evaluating outages. In this paper we develop and analyze such minimum duration outages for channels susceptible to Rayleigh fading. The results show that under typical Doppler frequencies the outages due to Rayleigh fading are more likely to cause frame or p...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Analysis for Land Mobile Satellite Mimo Channels
In this paper, a Markov chain analysis is performed to uncover the duration statistics of a land mobile satellite system capable of switching between MIMO and Dual Circular Polarisation Multiplexing (DCPM). Capacities have been computed using synthetic and measurement campaign data to show that DCPM is a viable alternative to MIMO and depends on the cross-polar discrimination (XPD) ratio exceed...
متن کاملSequential Transmission of Markov Sources over Burst Erasure Channels
We study the sequential coding of a Markov source process under error propagation and decoding delay constraints. The source sequence at each time is sampled i.i.d. along the spatial dimension and from a first order Markov process along the temporal dimension. The channel can introduce a single erasure burst of maximum length B starting at any arbitrary time. The encoder must operate in a causa...
متن کاملOptimal Power Allocation for Three-phase Bidirectional DF Relaying with Fixed Rates
Wireless systems that carry delay-sensitive information (such as speech and/or video signals) typically transmit with fixed data rates, but may occasionally suffer from transmission outages caused by the random nature of the fading channels. If the transmitter has instantaneous channel state information (CSI) available, it can compensate for a significant portion of these outages by utilizing p...
متن کاملExpected Duration of Dynamic Markov PERT Networks
Abstract : In this paper , we apply the stochastic dynamic programming to approximate the mean project completion time in dynamic Markov PERT networks. It is assumed that the activity durations are independent random variables with exponential distributions, but some social and economical problems influence the mean of activity durations. It is also assumed that the social problems evolve in ac...
