Rate Loss Due to Power Equalization in Cellular Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a cellular communication network, the loss in up-link bandwidth-efficiency resulting from power equalization is considered. Here power equalization refers to the operation of adjusting the transmit power of mobile units in such a way that the received power is the same for all units whereas bandwidth-efficiency is measured in terms of sum-rate per cell divided by the total system bandwidth. A single-cell system is considered first, and the bandwidth efficiency is determined with and without power equalization as well as with and without shadowing. The analysis is then extended to multi-cell-systems. It is found that in all cases power equalization severely penalizes the bandwidth-efficiency.

Comparison of OFDM and Single Carrier Transmission in Power Line Communications
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a suitable candidate for broadband power line communications (PLC). It has shown that the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of Single Carrier Transmission with Frequency Domain Equalization (SCT-FDE) is close to OFDM in broadband wireless systems. In this paper we investigate the BER performance of SCT employing time and frequency domain decis...
متن کاملA New Method for Reducing the Power Consumption of Portable Handsets in TDMA Mobile Systems: Conditional Equalization
In time-division multiple-access (TDMA) systems, the autonomy of portable handsets is a major constraint. We propose a new method, conditional equalization, which minimizes the power consumption due to equalization by equalizing only when it is most needed. At each time slot, the receiver estimates the need for equalization with a deterministic criterion. The proposed criteria use thresholds, c...

Underwater acoustic communication systems suffer from the channel impairments which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment, multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of inte...

Abstract In DS-CDMA high speed wireless signal transmissions, the transmission performance degrades due to frequency selective fading. The use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) can significantly improve the transmission performance. However, the local average received signal power slowly varies due to distance-dependent path loss and shadowing loss according to the movement of a mobile use...
