چکیده
An important aspect of any channel assignment algorithm should be balancing the performance of uplink and downlink. Differences in receiver performance, diversity and transmit power used at mobiles and base stations are potential sources of imbalance. In addition, there is a fundamental asymmetry between uplink and downlink interference caused by the locations of mobiles and base statiams. We investigate the nature of this asymmetry and prove that the uplink frequently has worse interference. Furthermore, this difference shows little dependence on the degree of mobility and is basically associated with the location of mobiles rather than their speed.

Nonlinear Channels: Predistortion or Enhanced Detection? - Universal Personal Communications, 1998. ICUPC '98. IEEE 1998 International Conference on
Using a union bound on the error probability of optimal receivers for nonlinear channels, this work points out important factors affecting the error performance in the simple case of M-ary Pulse Amplitude Modulation (M-PAM) with no intersymbol interference and unlimited transmission bandwidth. Performance is compared to that obtainable when the nonlinear device is perfectly linearized under a p...
متن کاملPath Optimization for Inter-Switch Handoff in Wireless ATM Networks - Universal Personal Communications, 1998. ICUPC '98. IEEE 1998 International Conference on
Recently, a two-phase handoff protocol has been proposed to support inter-switch handoff in wireless ATM networks. It employs path extension for each inter-switch handoff, followed by path optimization if necessary. In this paper, we propose a number of path optimi,zation initiation schemes to facilitate the two-phase handoff protocol. The design objective is to determine the time to invoke pat...
متن کاملResource Management and QoS Provisioning for Duplex Services in IEEE 802.16
Duplex services are multimedia services that requires good connectivity in both uplink and downlink such as VoIP, video conferencing and interactive gaming. A weak connection in either directionmay cause degradation of performances and dissatisfaction of user experience.Most researchers do not consider this issue and treat resource allocations in uplink and downlink independently. For this reas...

In the paper various issues in personal satellite communications are addressed. Basic geostationary and non-geostationary satellite constellations are considered. The narrowband and wideband characterization of the mobile satellite channel and related system implications are discussed. Satellite diversity is presented as a measure to overcome signal shadowing. The capacity of TDMA and CDMA mult...
متن کاملThroughput-Delay Analysis of a Multichannel Wireless Access Protocol in the Presence of Rayleigh Fading
In this paper, we analyze the effect of bursty packet losses, caused by correlation in the multipath fading process, on the throughput and delay performance of a multichannel wireless access protocol. equal-capacity, orthogonal, traffic channels are shared by mobile users ( ) on the uplink (mobile-to-base station link). Transmission attempts on the uplink are made based on the busy/idle status ...
