The TETRA (Trans European Trunked RAdio) is an emerging standard for digital private mobile radio, being prepared by the ETSI (European Telecommunication Standards Institute). /spl pi//4-DQPSK is considered as the modulation scheme, achieving a spectral efficiency of 1.44 bps/Hz. The BER performance of the TETRA modulation in a quasi-synchronous environment, using differential detection, is investigated. Performance degradation due to the differential delay between the received signals is studied. The effect of frequency offset and amplitude imbalances is also discussed.

In order to improve the bandwidth efficiency and error performance Ucan-decoders, employing a new partial response channel model for M-PSK schemes, are introduced . The Ucan-decoder is composed of k-unit precoders cascaded with a PSK modulator and (1/spl mnplus/D) PRS channel model. In this scheme only k-unit memory of the precoder defines the state number of the decoder and the author denotes k as the "effective memory unit". As an example, Ucan (k=1,2,3) decoders employing (k=1,2,3) effective memory units are investigated for (M=2,4,8) PSK modulations respectively. In an AWGN environment, analytical upper bound curves of the proposed schemes are derived. The error performance of the Ucan-decoders are better than the related systems at all signal to noise ratios. An interesting result is also obtained in a colored noise environment for a correlation coefficient less than zero. It is shown that the Ucan-decoders perform better in colored noise compared to AWGN at all signal to noise ratios.

Connection rerouting is an important function for handoff processing in connection-oriented mobile communication networks. Several methods have been proposed for the connection rerouting, but they are lacking in generality and flexibility. In this paper, we propose a general model of connection rerouting, based on connection information, which is provided to mobile terminals through connection recording. The generality and flexibility of the proposed method is purely from the connection information.

This paper outlines a carrier's view of personal communication services (PCS) in the Australian regulatory and competitive environment. Telstra considers PCS as covering a broad range of both wireless and wireline personal telecommunications services that can be provided using wireless and wireline network technologies. A key objective of PCS developments is to ensure that the end-users fully benefit from personal service mobility, flexibility and control, irrespective of underlying technologies. In particular, end-user service mobility can be provided beyond national boundaries by adopting appropriate mature regional and global standards and associated spectrum bands for wireless PCS.

A novel adaptive nonlinear coherent receiver for the detection of M-QAM (or M-PSK) modulated data streams transmitted over randomly time-variant frequency-selective fast-fading macrocellular mobile radio channels is presented. Assuming a TDMA system, the main feature of the receiver is to combine the channel-estimation and the data-detection procedures, thus obtaining enhanced channel-tracking capabilities at nearly the same complexity of conventional adaptive receivers for land mobile data-communication.

In many developing countries, there is both a tremendous demand for the provision of communication services and a lack of infrastructure which may be used to connect the potential users to the network. Developing the infrastructure is extremely expensive and time consuming. The wireless local loop system is a natural solution since it provides the infrastructure in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost. Many of the wireless systems on the market today are based on the TDMA concept. We examine the performance of several different allocation algorithms including a semi-fixed algorithm and transfer algorithms.

The possibility of applying the multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) technique in the 3rd generation mobile cellular communication system is analyzed. The key features of such a system are described and the basic problems of transmission and reception of the MC-CDMA signals are discussed. The MC-CDMA system can be regarded as the conventional DS-CDMA system in which nonbinary, complex PN sequences have been applied. All the features and the well known advantages of DS-CDMA allow one to consider this technique as a potential solution for users multiplexing and modulation in the future Universal Mobile Telecommunication System.

Since cellular system was introduced in early 1980s, the capacity was always one of the major areas to improve, investigate and research. The application of wireless as local loop access technology increased that demand on access capacity considerably due to very high traffic rate of the local loop customers. The microcell can be used as a capacity solution for the local loop application. A microcell underlay in an exiting wireless access network is considered as a strategy to achieve a high system performance and a broad coverage. High traffic areas are covered by the underlaying microcells while the macrocells cover the low traffic areas and provide an overflow group of channels for clusters of microcells. This paper is restricted to the considerations for a fixed wireless access network with a microcell underlay. The main objective is to evaluate the system capacity gains. The issues of RF planning and modelling are not addressed. A queueing model which captured the main traffic characteristics of the network with a microcell underlay is formulated from which we give an optimization algorithm to evaluate the system capacity gains of the network due to the microcell underlay. A study of an urban network shows that the system capacity can be significantly increased by deploying the microcell underlay.
