The performance of a land mobile earth station using the amplitude companded single sideband (ACSSB) modulation technique, and results of field experiments which were conducted at L-band (1.6/1.5 GHz) in a static environment and in rural, suburban, and urban areas, are described. Results of the experiments show that the required carrier to noise power density ratio (C/No) for voice communications is greater than 40 dBHz and the required C/No for pilot signal tracking is 34 dBHz. A comparison of the ACSSB system with the conventional narrowband frequency modulation (NBFM) system is also carried out. The analysis of the power spectral density indicates that the ACSSB system is four times as efficient as the NBFM system.<>

A time-division multiple access (TDMA) cellular system using QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) with coherent detection is studied. The required guard time between TDMA bursts and the effect of the unbalanced characteristics of an IF filter on a detected signal are analyzed. An attempt is made to minimize the guard time between TDMA burst signals using a window which suppresses the signal at both edges. As a result, it was found that the required guard time can be reduced to a 2.3 symbol duration in a 3-km radius cell. If a conventional IF filter (which is designed for an analog terminal) is adapted to a digital terminal, in cases of 1 kHz variation of the center frequency intersymbol interference caused by the IF filter would be about -20 dB. It is concluded that more sophisticated IF filters are needed for digital cellular terminals are needed than for analog cellular terminals.<>

An adaptive predistorter particularly suited to baseband implementation with digital signal-processing hardware is presented and analyzed. It is applicable to any modulation format and any AM/FM and FM/PM characteristic. With a table of well under 100 complex words, it reduces intermodulation products in a typical Class AB amplifier to levels suitable for the mobile environment. It adapts to a new amplifier in a few milliseconds, and its reconvergence time following a channel switch is virtually zero. Since it allows linearization of the power amplifier over 95% to 98% of the saturated output power, it provides power efficiency as well. In comparison with the most powerful predistorter previously reported, it requires four orders of magnitude less memory, reduces convergence time by over three orders of magnitude, eliminates reconvergence time following a channel switch, and eliminates the need for a phase shifter in the feedback path.<>

1700 MHz attenuation and bit error rate (BER) measurements were conducted at the center of a major urban area in southern England in order to compile a radio propagation and BER database for handover criteria study in city microcellular radio systems. The focus of the experiments was to provide realistic data for handover simulation in typical city microcell environments, thus minimizing inaccuracies due to the inadequacies in propagation modeling. Results revealed the path loss followed the inverse third to fourth power law in majority of the cases using simple regression fitting. The short-term signal fading statistics varied with Rice factors in excess of ten down to zero, as the distance between the mobile unit and the microcellular base station increased. Computer simulation indicated that both RSSI (received signal strength indicator) and BER could be used as handover criteria. The optimal threshold level for handover request, however, differed from location to location.<>

Proving that a system performs as specified, proof-of-performance testing, presents a series of problems. Two different approaches to providing for proof-of-performance (POP) testing are discussed. It is shown that the required system gain can be reduced based on the conditions placed on the POP. The principal problem in the mobile communication systems is the occurrence of large areas with little or no signals in the desired covered area. One method of testing would be to allow one test at a single point. If the test fails, tests would be made at the corners of a box around the point, etc. In this manner, the size of the hole in the coverage area could be determined, and the necessary action taken.<>

The voice and data transmission parameters of a spectrally-efficient analog frequency division multiple access (FDMA) cellular system with 12.5 kHz channel assignments are described. Low-speed 100 bit/s Manchester data is transmitted during voice activity and provides channel control. In addition, 200 bit/s baseband data patterns support channel supervision. The use of this subaudible signaling method has yielded improved system operation. Eliminating the high-frequency supervisory audio tone has reduced adjacent-channel interference and has allowed increased voice deviation. Using the low-speed data for control messages does not require interruption of the voice activity. The handoff and disconnect protocols have improved falsing protection over current systems.<>

Dynamic channel assignment algorithms for cellular systems are developed. The algorithms are compared with an easily simulated bound. Using this bound, it is demonstrated that in the case of homogeneous spatial traffic distribution, some of these algorithms are virtually unbeatable by any channel assignment algorithm. These algorithms are shown to be feasible for implementation in current cellular systems. For the examples considered, in the interesting range of blocking probabilities (2-4%), the dynamic channel assignment algorithms yielded an increase of 60-80% in the carried traffic over the best-known fixed channel assignment.<>

A complete set of access protocols for multiple satellite channels assigned for communications between mobile data terminals and fixed data hubs is proposed. The protocols address three types of data bearer services suitable for all types of applications. Multiple access for inbound interactive messages is based on contention for short messages and reservation for longer messages. An overview of the mobile satellite system (MSS) network configuration is given. Traffic characteristics and network connectivity for mobile data services are reviewed. The design of a complete set of multiple access protocols for different data services is described. The proposed protocols are simple to implement, and potentially provide efficient and timely access for both short and long messages.<>

Propagation measurements were made for microcells implemented using low omnidirectional antennas. 20 sites in a flat, homogeneous area of Stockholm were used. The transmitting antennas and the mobile receiving antenna were 5 m and 2 m in height, respectively. Each base station transmitted at a unique frequency in the vicinity of 870 MHz. The radio wave propagation along streets and around corners is studied. On a log-log scale, the signal decreases faster as a function of distance from the antenna when the mobile is far away from the antenna than when it is close. The signal loss suffered when turning a corner from a LOS (line-of-sight) onto a NLOS (non-line-of-sight) street is 20-25 dB. The rate of signal decrease near a corner is very sensitive to the type of LOS street and can be very high, requiring efficient handover procedures.<>

In time-division multiple access (TDMA) radio systems, the on/off power transitions at burst boundaries must be carefully controlled to minimize spectral spreading while also minimizing transition times. Several methods of performing power transitions are examined. The first method uses a continuous modulator which is windowed with a raised cosine. The second method uses the addition of individual signaling pulses as a part of the modulator circuit. This method causes no excess spectral spreading from the on/off power transitions. A third method uses asymmetric pulse shapes during the transition times to minimize the transition times, while causing no excess spectral spreading. The design of these pulses and circuits to generate them are discussed. Since the circuit is completely digital with low complexity, it is suitable for VLSI implementation.<>
