01 Jan 1994TL;DR: In this article, the concept of achievable C/I, up/down-link equivalence and C/balancing is introduced, and the results show that substantial improvements in system capacity can be achieved, particulary in conjunction with dynamic channel allocation.
Abstract: Transmitter power control is a necessity to combat “near-far” problems in radio systems using receivers with limited “dynamic range” (such as conventional DSCDMA systems). Transmitter power control, however, can also be used to control cochannel interference, i.e. interference from other users using the same channel (code or time slot). For this purpose, it has been shown that the optimum transmitter power configuration is found by solving an eigenvalue problem. The paper reviews some recent results in this area. The basic models as well as the concepts of achievable C/I, up/down-link equivalence and C/Ibalancing are introduced. Both the interference limited (noise-less) case as well as models including thermal noise are treated. Results show that substantial improvements in system capacity can be achieved, particulary in conjunction with Dynamic Channel Allocation. The optimum power control schemes are shown to be robust against implementational shortcomings.

TL;DR: A parameter /spl gamma/, which equals the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for unit optical path gain and is proportional to the square of the transmitted average optical power is defined.
Abstract: We examine systems of fixed-channel reuse for base stations in an indoor infrared wireless communication system. The following techniques are compared: time-division multiple access (TDMA) using on-off keying (OOK) or pulse-position modulation (PPM); frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) or quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK); code-division multiple access (CDMA) using OOK with direct-sequence spreading by m-sequences or optical orthogonal codes (OOCs). We define a parameter /spl gamma/, which equals the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for unit optical path gain and is proportional to the square of the transmitted average optical power. Using measured pathloss data, it is found that in a system using hexagonal cells and a reuse factor of three, for cell radii above 3 m, TDMA with OOK or 2-PPM, and CDMA using OOCs all require approximately the same /spl gamma/ to achieve a worst-case bit-error rate (BER) of 10/sup -9/ within a cell. Using TDMA with 4-PPM results in a 6-dB decrease in the required value of /spl gamma/. CDMA using m-sequences requires an increase in /spl gamma/ of 5 dB over TDMA using OOK, and FDMA with BPSK requires an increase of 12 dB. For a given reuse factor N in the noise-limited regime, the required value of /spl gamma/ decreases in inverse proportion to N/sup 2/ for TDMA schemes and inversely with N for FDMA and CDMA schemes. For cell radii below 3 m, cochannel interference dominates the systems using TDMA, FDMA, and CDMA with an OOC, resulting in an irreducible BER above 10/sup -9/ at cell radii below 1.5 m. Only CDMA with m-sequences does not develop an irreducible BER, making it the only choice for cell radii below 1.5 m.

04 Mar 2012TL;DR: This work proposes and evaluates conservative and aggressive backup sharing policies in OFDM-based optical networks with elastic bandwidth allocation and suggests a middle ground between the two.
Abstract: Compared with backup sharing in WDM networks, it is more complex and challenging to share backup resources in OFDM-based optical networks with elastic bandwidth allocation. We propose and evaluate conservative and agressive backup sharing policies.

24 Sep 2007TL;DR: A centralized channel assignment algorithm is developed for multi-radio wireless mesh networks in order to maximize the throughput and address the interference problems.
Abstract: The focus of this paper is on wireless mesh networks. In particular, we study the multi-radio case, given the considerable improvement in network throughput that multiple radios allow to achieve and the availability of cost-effective wireless devices. Interesting research problems are still unsolved in this field. Due to the scarcity of non-overlapped frequency channels and available radios per node, interference is still present, which cuts the achievable throughput down. As interference depends on how channels are bound to radio interfaces, a proper channel assignment scheme is needed to reduce the interference. In this paper we identify some key requirements of a channel assignment scheme. Accordingly, a centralized channel assignment algorithm is developed for multi-radio wireless mesh networks in order to maximize the throughput and address the interference problems. Finally, a performance study is presented to assess the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

02 Apr 2003TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for performing startup scans for radar, identifying backup channels for a possible channel switch, and efficiently changing channels in the event of radar detection in the operating channel are presented.
Abstract: Various regulatory domains promulgate standards to define how wireless devices should operate in certain frequency bands. The 5 GHz spectrum is of particular importance to certain regulatory domains because of radar systems also operating in this spectrum. To avoid interference with such radar systems, wireless devices operating in this spectrum should be able to detect radar and quickly vacate any channels currently used by the radar systems. Techniques are provided for performing startup scans for radar, identifying backup channels for a possible channel switch, and efficiently changing channels in the event of radar detection in the operating channel. These techniques advantageously meet current regulatory standards governing DFS while minimizing network startup delays and disruption to users during a radar event.
