Technology standards-setting in the US wireless telecommunications industry: A study of three generations of digital standards development

This article focuses on the evolution of technology standards-setting in the US wireless telecommunications industry during the decades of the 1980s and 1990s. The purpose of this exploratory study is to understand and model the organizational process and environmental influences employed to develop three generations (i.e. second generation (2.0) Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), second generation (2.5) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and third generation (3.0) Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)) of de jure US wireless digital telecommunications standards. Through the use of a multi-case study approach, the research study focuses on inter-organizational strategic cooperation among wireless telecommunications firms proposing competitive technology designs in the standard development process. Based on data collected in these three case studies, wireless standard development models are “mapped” for the TDMA, CDMA and WCDMA technologies. Moreover, a generic, conceptual wireless technology standard development model is “mapped”, a further refinement of an earlier seminal model of telecommunications standard-setting. Finally, conclusions are reached, with both theoretical and practical implications, and suggested areas of future research (in the form of a set of research hypotheses) are presented.     

The TR-UWB receiver based on spatial diversity

This paper presents a new Transmitted Reference (TR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) receiver based on Spatial Diversity (SD), which employs Multi-Antenna Technology (MAT) to improve the performance of TR-UWB receiver. According to the amplitude of correlator output of every antenna branch, this paper analyzed the performances of the proposed TR-UWB receiver employing three different kinds of combina-tion strategies, i.e., Maximum Ratio Combination (MRC), Equal Gain Combination (EGC), and Selective Combination (SC), which are different from conventional ones, and theoretically proved that the performance of EGC is better than MRC. Simulation results verify that when EGC is adopted and BER=10–3, increasing three antennas provides Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gain of about 3 dB in CM4 channel and SNR gain of about 2 dB in CM2 channel.     

基于人类视觉系统的立体图像质量评价方法

随着立体图像的大规模发展,很多应用场合需要能够迅速有效地完成对立体图像的质量评价工作,以便于后续应用,而对其进行主观质量评价在效率上很难满足要求。因此,提出了一种感知质量评价算法,并结合了一些人类视觉系统的特性。首先需要得到视差图,然后通过边界图和显著图来对视差图进行加权调整。接着使用Minkowski融合方法将加权后的视差图整合成感知分数。最后,使用多尺度分析来得到最终的感知质量分数。通过使用EPFL立体质量评价数据库来验证文中的立体图像感知质量评价算法。实验显示算法最后得到的客观分数和EPFL数据库中的主观分数具有高度的一致性和单调性,证明了文中的立体图像感知质量评价算法是有效的。     

Contributions to the evaluation of ensembles of combinational logic gates

This work presents an effective way for evaluating and validating ensembles of combinational CMOS gates and logic cell libraries. The major contributions include an innovative design methodology for such a kind of test vehicle, as well as a simple and flexible multi-operating mode circuit architecture. The resulting circuit is quite useful for cell library verification at different levels: in the EDA environment and on silicon prototyping. The proposed methodology can be applied for analysis taking into account the logic gate functionality, timing performance, power consumption and circuit operating impact of nanometer aging effects. Simulation results demonstrate the circuit operation, features and facilities described herein.     

The dual-edge alignment technique with improved spur reduction effects in ring oscillators

In this paper, the technique of dual-edge phase-alignment and its effects on ring oscillators are presented. This technique provides resetting of the built-up jitter at both rising and falling edges of a clean aligning signal named as the reference. Using signals and systems theory, the effect of the technique on the spurs due to the aligning reference signal is completely analyzed. We show that adding properly the dual-edge aligning feature to phase-aligned ring oscillators cause the spurs in the neighborhood of the carrier to disappear. First, the validity of the results obtained from the derived analytical equations is verified through simulations using MATLAB. Then a complete circuit considering realistic models for its components is simulated in TSMC RF CMOS 0.18um process using ADS for further validation.
