Adaptive TDMA/OFDMA for Wide-Area Coverage and Vehicular Velocities

چکیده
Within the EU FP6 Integrated Project WINNER, adaptive transmission is investigated as a key technology for boosting the spectral efficiency of a new radio interface for 4G systems. Adaptive allocation of time-frequency chunks in an OFDM-based system offers a significant potential, but also poses challenges. Within work package two of WINNER, we study critical issues such as the feasibility of adaptive transmission over fading downlink/uplink channels to/from vehicular terminals, the corresponding required channel prediction accuracy, and the required feedback control bandwidth. This paper summarizes recent results obtained within WINNER, and related results obtained within the Swedish Wireless IP project.

متن کاملOFDM-based Medium Access with Rate Constraints
For wireless local area networks based on OFDM we study the sum rate of time and frequency division multiple access (TDMA, OFDMA) as well as superimposed transmission (SUP). In the analysis traffic-imposed constraints on the maximum exploitable user rates apply. For a large number of subcarriers the effective sum rate is low with TDMA but much higher with OFDMA and SUP. The spatial properties o...
متن کاملAn Adaptive TDMA Slot Assignment Strategy in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
Improving road safety is among the main objectives of Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) design. This objective would be achieved essentially by the use of efficient safety applications which should be able to wirelessly broadcast warning messages between neighbouring vehicles in order to inform drivers about a dangerous situation in a timely manner. To insure their efficiency, safety applicati...
متن کاملA Fully Distributed TDMA based MAC Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
The Vehicular Ad-Hoc NETwork (VANET) consists of a set of vehicles moving on roads which can communicate with each other through ad hoc wireless devices. VANET has attracted a lot of attention in the research community in recent years with the main focus on its safety applications. One of the challenges for vehicular network is the design of an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol due...
متن کاملDesign of a Medium Access Control Protocol That Exploits the Structures of Vehicular Networks by Kong Lam Dissertation
Vehicular networks (VANETs) have distinctive structures that distinguish them in comparison to general mobile ad hoc networks. In this thesis we identify the relevant special structures that do exist, and show how they can be exploited to design a MAC layer that provides better performance than a MAC layer designed without taking such structures into account. Particular important examples of th...
