A new MAC protocol for broadband wireless communications and its performance evaluation

This paper presents a new Time Division Multiple Access/Frequency Division Duplexing (TDMA/FDD) based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for broadband wireless networks, supporting Quality of Service (QoS) for real-time multimedia applications. It also gives the Call Blocking Probability (CBP), packet end-to-end delay and utilization analysis of different service classes, as they are most essential performance criterions in broadband wireless network assessment. The Connection Admission Control (CAC) mechanism in the proposed MAC efficiently organizes the bandwidth allocation for different service classes by means of a fairness based scheduling algorithm. In addition, the simulation model of the proposed MAC scheme is realized by using OPNET Modeler network simulator. The results of the analytical calculations for the CBPs are compared to those of the simulation of the proposed MAC, thus validity of the MAC protocol is proved.     

Performance analysis of linear precoding based on field trials results of MIMO-OFDM system

We use field trial results obtained from a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless system with two transmitter and three receiver antennas (2/spl times/3), to first validate the properties of the transmit correlation matrix in a macro-cellular environment. We find that approximately 20% of the locations have well-defined transmit correlation matrices. Furthermore, the eigenvectors of the transmit correlation matrix vary slowly over distance with 60% of the locations having eigenvector variation of less than 1 dB over a distance of 20 m. Next, we quantify the performance of the optimal statistical linear precoding (OSLP) , and statistical one-dimensional (1-D) eigenbeamforming (SEB) based on transmit correlation matrices, and the 1-D eigenbeamforming (EB)-based on perfect channel knowledge at the transmitter. We find that the OSLP and SEB schemes obtain array gain over the Alamouti scheme at lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with a median gain of 2.0 (1.5) dB at the 1.0-(3.5) km cell-radii. However, the SEB scheme (unlike the OSLP scheme) looses diversity order at higher SNR that leads to a performance loss. The EB scheme provides the best performance over the Alamouti scheme, at the expense of increased feedback requirements.     

Space-time channel estimation and performance analysis for wireless MIMO-OFDM systems with spatial correlation

This paper treats channel estimation in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with correlation at the receive antenna array. A two-step channel estimation algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the iterative quadrature maximum likelihood based time delay and spatial signature estimation is presented by utilizing special training signals with a cyclic structure. The receive spatial correlation matrix of the vector valued channel impulse response is formulated as a function of the spatial signature, the time delay, and the pulse shaping filter. The joint spatio-temporal (JST) filtering based minimum mean squared error channel estimator is derived by virtue of the spatial correlation. In addition, the effect of channel estimation errors on the bit error probability performance of the space-time block coded OFDM system over correlated MIMO channels is derived. The Cramer-Rao lower bound on the time delay estimate is provided for a benchmark of the performance comparison. The performance of proposed algorithms is illustrated based on analysis and computer simulations. The JST channel estimator achieves significant gains in the mean squared error compared to the temporal filtering. It also enables remarkable savings in the pilot symbol power level.

IP QoS delivery in a broadband wireless local loop: MAC protocoldefinition and performance evaluation

The wireless approach to the last mile access (wireless local loop, known as WLL) is becoming increasingly attractive to network operators and service providers since it offers a flexible and cost-effective solution to enable delivery of even broadband services to end customers. In this paper, a full-blown broadband WLL network is presented. The proposal is based on the OFDM-CDMA technique, to which an added dynamic reservation/request MAC protocol is proposed, fully exploiting the OFDM-CDMA platform. Central to our proposal is the support of different QoS profiles, in the context of QoS aware networks. As a case study, the explicit presentation of the IETF integrated services support over our WLL system is addressed. An extensive performance evaluation focused on the MAC layer is then reported. We prove that our scheme achieves high utilization efficiency, as well as a fair share of the available radio capacity, even in the presence of highly heterogeneous traffic mix. Delay performance is provided for both reference traffic models, as well as for measured IP and MPEG traffic traces offered to the system

A road to future broadband wireless access: MIMO-OFDM-Based air interface

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing is a popular method for high-data-rate wireless transmission. OFDM may be combined with multiple antennas at both the access point and mobile terminal to increase diversity gain and/or enhance system capacity on a time-varying multipath fading channel, resulting in a multiple-input multiple-output OFDM system. In this article we give a brief technical overview of MIMO-OFDM system design. We focus on various research topics for the MIMO-OFDM-based air interface, including spatial channel modeling, MIMO-OFDM transceiver design, MIMO-OFDM channel estimation, space-time techniques for MIMO-OFDM, and error correction code. The corresponding link-level simulation results are encouraging, and show that MIMO-OFDM is a promising road to future broadband wireless access.

Training sequence design and channel estimation of OFDM-CDMA broadband wireless access networks with diversity techniques

In this paper, an OFDM-CDMA system employing various diversity schemes is considered for a possible candidate of broadband wireless access networks and broadcasting applications. With an emphasis on a preamble design for multi-channel separation, we address a channel estimation based on the time-domain windowing and its imperfectness in OFDM-based multiple-antenna transmission systems. By properly designing each preamble for multiple antennas to be orthogonal in the time domain, the channel estimation can be applied to the HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a standards in the case of more than two transmit antennas. Also, the effect of diversity techniques on the performance of OFDM-CDMA based broadband wireless access networks is investigated and the maximum achievable diversity gain for a two-path Rayleigh fading environment is evaluated. Simulation results show that the OFDM-CDMA system applying a space-time-frequency diversity with a full-rate full diversity code can give the diversity of D=4 and D=8 for both multi-user cases of maximum user and half user capacities, respectively.

Digital wireless broadband corporate and private networks: RNETconcepts and applications

The radio broadband networks suffer from some specific constraints-access protocol efficiency, multipath effects, and limited available frequency bands-which have to be overcome by choosing the best possible compromises in cost/performance on physical and MAC layers. Current WLAN products (1-2 Mb/s at 2.45 GHz), which provide mainly data exchange service, are able to make seamless handover for an indoor cellular network but suffer from relatively low data rates. Even if compliant with the IEEE 802.11 future standard, they do not necessarily lead to interoperability. New generations become necessary for higher data transfer rates, real-time video, and multimedia applications compatible with the future ATM transfer mode. ETSI is proposing the HIPERLAN concept, working in the 5.3 and 17.2 GHz bands. Our contribution to this new standard, called RNET (Radio Network), uses a spread spectrum linear ramp waveform with enhanced capabilities (relative to the TDMA, CSMA/CA, and FDMA structures). The advantages of the MAC layer are highlighted and the first results of a transceiver demonstrator are given
