This paper presents an investigation of the properties of vehicular DC-lines for the purpose of data communication. In doing so, the aim is to model the transfer channel that represents these lines. The basis for this investigation is established by measurements of battery lines in vehicles. First various line segments are regarded without disturbance. In a second step the existing interference is investigated. With particular interest the impulsive noise is regarded. Important is the possibility to calculate its random occurrence by a statistical process called Poisson process. The present results are the basis for further investigations of data communication over DC-lines in cars.

Optimal threshold sequential decoding algorithms for binary linear block codes which combine the sequential decoding with the threshold decoding are presented. They use the stack algorithm to search through the trellis of the block codes for a path which has the optimal value of the Fano metric function. When a new candidate codeword is found, an optimality check is performed on it by using the Fano-optimal threshold. If checked successfully, the candidate codeword is the most likely (ML) codeword and the search stops. Otherwise the search process continues until either an optimal path is found, which also represents the ML codeword, or the memory buffer of the decoder overflows, in which case the hard decision word is output. Simulation results show that compared with the decoding algorithms available, the proposed decoding algorithms significantly reduce the decoding complexity without losing the decoding performance.

In wide-band mobile communication systems, the received signal-level variation characteristics are different from those in narrow-band systems. To express the variation from narrow-band to wide-band transmissions, a new propagation parameter was proposed called "equivalent received bandwidth", which is the product of receiver bandwidth 2/spl Delta/f and maximum difference in path lengths /spl Delta/L/sub max/. On the other hand, Nakagami-m (1960) distribution offers a more flexible distribution of received signal-level variations in narrowband mobile channels. Therefore, we have expressed the level variation in narrow and wide band using the Nakagami-m distribution as function of 2/spl Delta/f/spl Delta/L/sub max/, and evaluated the distribution by computer simulation.

In a satellite with multiple spot beams, the scenario of one beam covering an urban area and another beam covering a rural area is ordinary. In order to provide reliable service to the maximum number of users, the satellite can adjust power levels at its antennas. We propose a hybrid ray tracing-based model, consisting of deterministic and statistical attributes, to estimate signal quality based on the type of surrounding environment. The problem of providing acceptable power level to the maximum number of users is then formulated as a linear programming problem and its solution can be applied as feedback information via a control channel to the satellite emitter system to adjust power levels at specific antennas.

The dual-signal receiver is a narrowband multi-user receiver, which allows the reception of two signals simultaneously transmitted over the same channel. To increase the receiver performance in a fading environment, antenna combining is applied and its performance is evaluated. Results obtained for the dual-signal receiver with minimum mean square error combining and null steering combining techniques are compared to both the theoretical optimum represented by joint detection of the two signals and to the results obtained for a conventional receiver with minimum mean square error combining. These comparisons show that the dual-signal receiver is able to achieve the performance of joint detection and outperforms a conventional receiver implemented with multiple antennas.

This paper considers the effect of unequal power control in direct sequence CDMA cellular networks in the reverse direction to achieve differentiated quality of service. In particular, power control can be used to maintain the required E/sub b//I/sub 0/ for a given type of traffic to meet the desired service quality. Here, an analytical approach is used to determine the probability of outage when two types of traffic with different quality of service requirements coexist. Results are presented for systems with equal and unequal power control.

In this paper, we consider the problem of linear equalization of polyphase channels and its implementation in the frequency domain. These channels may result from oversampling the single output of a transmission channel or/and by receiving multiple outputs of an antenna array. From the polyphase representation of the fractionally spaced channels/equalizers we derive a novel low complexity frequency domain implementation structure for optimum infinite-length equalizers. As an example we apply the concept to a high speed wireless indoor communication system. The digital baseband processing requirements are considered and simulation results for typical multipath channel conditions are presented.

This paper presents the performance analysis of a fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift-keying (FFH/BFSK) linear-combining receiver in conjunction with a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor. Under the conditions of partial-band noise jamming (PBNJ) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), the bit-error rate (BER) expressions of the proposed FFT-based linear-combining receiver are derived in terms of the characteristic functions of the decision statistics. The BER expressions, validated by simulation results, are applicable to any arbitrary diversity level. The proposed FFT-based receiver provides an alternative to the conventional matched-filter receiver. The FFT-based receiver is shown to give comparable performance with the corresponding matched-filter receiver. The worst-case PBNJ fraction is shown to be inversely proportional to the signal-to-jamming ratio and the performance of the FFT-based linear-combining receiver is degraded as the diversity level is increased.

A method of estimating the spatio-temporal channel parameter is proposed. Using a mechanically rotating antenna which has a narrow beam width, we show how to estimate the distribution of the incoming signal in the directions of the angle and delay. With the proposed method, the estimation problem is represented as a deconvolution problem which can be converted as a matrix equation with constraints. We also show the results of the proposed method tested with field data.
