A pilot-based dynamic channel assignment scheme for wireless access TDMA/FDMA systems

TLDR
A control architecture for implementing a dynamic channel assignment (DCA) algorithm which optimizes two-way channel quality in a TDMA portable radio system is proposed and good spectrum efficiency and its potential for handling nonuniform traffic demand are demonstrated.
Abstract
We propose a control architecture for implementing a dynamic channel assignment (DCA) algorithm which optimizes two-way channel quality in a TDMA portable radio system. Computer simulations are used to evaluate the performance of this DCA method. A common control frequency, which is frame-synchronized among base stations, provides (1) beacons for portables to locate base stations and obtain DCA information, (2) broadcast channels for system and alerting information, and (3) pilot signals to permit portables to evaluate downlink interference. This allows low-complexity radio ports and portables to mutually select channels to avoid interference and avoid creating excessive interference. Results from computer simulations demonstrate the good spectrum efficiency of this method and its potential for handling nonuniform traffic demand. This work is targeted toward understanding the implications to local exchange networks of wireless system alternatives that could provide access to those networks.

Wireless dynamic channel assignment performance under packet data traffic

TL;DR: This paper investigates the performance of two distributed measurement-based DCA schemes under Pareto-distributed packet data traffic, a well-known traffic model with heavy-tailed distribution and infinite variance and can provide guidelines for the future design of DCA and medium access control protocols for wireless Internet services.

Universal digital portable radio communications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss limitations of the evolving approaches and consider objectives and approaches for providing more universal digital portable communications as an integrated part of telephone exchange networks, which can be accomplished by using demand-assigned radio links for the last thousand feet or so of telephone loops and sharing the remainder of the fixed distribution facilities.

UHF fading in factories

TL;DR: The extensive empirical data indicate that path loss is dependent upon local surroundings and is log-normally distributed, temporal fading is Rician, and small-scale signal fluctuations due to receiver motion are primarily Rayleigh, although Rician and log-normal distributions fit some of the data.
