This paper is an assessment of video communication over ATM networks covering bit rate regulation, traffic characterization and multiplexing modes. The purpose of the paper is to amalgamate results from the literature to determine how video should be serviced in ATM. One finding is that the statistical bitrate service may not be as suitable a network service for video as hoped.

Active networking is a general approach to incorporating general-purpose computational capabilities within the communications infrastructure of data networks. This paper proposes the design of a scalable, high performance active router. This is used as a vehicle for studying the key design issues that must be resolved to allow active networking to become a mainstream technology.

This paper shows that TCP Vegas' fairness critically requires an accurate estimation of propagation delay. We also show that, in practice, this may be difficult to achieve and we discuss how to choose the parameters /spl alpha/ and /spl beta/ that control the window sizes' update.

Mobile communications systems based on code division multiple access (CDMA) and direct sequence spread spectrum techniques have been gaining a lot of ground lately. The RAKE receiver is a well known technique in spread spectrum systems, which is used to obtain signal diversity in multipath environments. In TDD systems, a technique known as pre-RAKE has been proposed recently, in which the signal processing is transferred to the transmitter, and it has been shown that this technique provides a capacity increase in the downlink. In this paper we propose a combination of both methods and show that a substantial performance improvement can be reached this way.

Measurement data and computer modelling is used to assess the potential of global cumulative radio interference effects caused by over the horizon ionospheric propagation of unwanted emissions from broadband power line communications (PLC) systems operating in the HF band (1-30 MHz). A comparison of the results with the ITU-R atmospheric radio noise atlas indicates that the present natural noise levels in electromagnetic quiet areas will not change significantly with a possible future large deployment of local access telecommunication systems using the low voltage electricity distribution networks if the maximum transmit power spectral density per PLC cell (user group sharing the same spectral resources) is below -40 dBm (Hz/sup -1/).

The theoretical optimal shape of a small loop antenna within a rectangular area restriction is derived. Approaches with cut-off corners and rounded corners are proposed and optimal parameters (such as cut-off radius) are calculated. By means of the calculus of variation, a proof is given that the rounded-corner approach is indeed the optimal shape in terms of antenna efficiency if a simple model is assumed; the result is valid for any convex shape constraint.

The DS-CDMA spread spectrum protocol has a better spectral efficiency than TDMA or FDMA, which makes this modulation scheme the best candidate for third generation mobile communication systems. Nevertheless, this spectral efficiency is only achieved at the cost of an advanced power control of the mobile stations. The DS-CDMA protocol uses in all mobile telephone systems a closed loop power control scheme controlled by the base station receiver. This control system is, unfortunately, not fully efficient in certain critical cases. This paper presents a much faster method than the traditional power control scheme for a given data command rate, while keeping the traditional scheme of power control bit transmission used with the IS-95, CDMA2000 and W-CDMA standards. This method makes it possible to improve the QoS (quality of service) in the difficult cases without cost.

This paper studies the performance of a broadband OFDM system concept intended for fixed and nomadic applications. The system is designed for efficient packet data transmission, and in particular for TCP/IP. A combination of OFDM, adjustable time division duplexing (TDD), adaptive modulation/coding, and selective ARQ is used to provide a flexible and robust air interface. Estimates of the achievable data rates and spectral efficiencies under different deployment scenarios are obtained from a combination of link-level and system-level simulations.

The planning of an indoor mobile communication system can be a difficult task that involves many trial installations of base stations. It is desirable to replace such trial installations by computer simulations. We present in this paper an algorithm that allows a fast and interactive deterministic prediction of three-dimensional field strength maps. With this tool it is possible to quickly find an efficient placement of base stations for the required coverage in a building complex. The simulated environment is modeled as a large network of geometric channels that contain the propagated signal. The calculation of the local coupling between the channels can be carried out in advance because it does not depend on transmitter and receiver positions. In a second step, field strength maps are calculated interactively for arbitrary transmitter and receiver configurations based on the geometric information stored in the channel coupling coefficients. Since the concept of a channel network allows the implementation of global energy conservation, the prediction is expected to provide optimal robustness against details in the description of the building. This is demonstrated by the comparison of the predictions in different three-dimensional building structures to corresponding measurements of the fading-averaged field strength.

This paper addresses the problem of designing good spreading sequences for CDMA systems that have small-valued auto- and cross-correlation functions. In contrast to the usual mini-max criteria, the l/sup 2/ criteria of goodness are used to assess correlation properties of spreading sequences. To motivate it, direct evidence is given to demonstrate the utility of the l/sup 2/ criteria in the context of CDMA performance. Following, these criteria are applied to two types of known unit-magnitude sequences: generalized binary Rudin-Shapiro sequences, and sequences with quadratic phase function. The construction rule of the well-known binary Rudin-Shapiro sequences is based on a recursion formula that starts with the Kronecker sequences. It is shown that the asymptotic limits (N/spl rarr//spl infin/) of l/sup 2/ criteria obtained for original Rudin-Shapiro sequences are also valid in case of two arbitrary sequences obtained by means of the same recursion formula as long as the initial sequences are complementary. As to the sequences with quadratic phase function, the upper and lower bounds on the inverse merit-factor are proved to decrease with the order /spl radic/N+1, which indicates excellent auto-correlation properties of the sequence.
