The paper also discusses some important trends in wireless industry and the customers expectations which are also part of the challenges for the mobile industry. Finally particular reference is made to the developing nations especially Nigeria in the ongoing trends in mobile communication industry

On channel-adaptive multiple burst admission control for mobile computing based on wideband CDMA

Mobile computing systems built using third generation wireless standards are mostly based on the wideband CDMA platform to support high bit rate packet data services. One important component offering packet data service in CDMA is a burst admission control algorithm. We formulate the multiple-burst admission control problem as an integer programming problem, which induces our novel jointly adaptive burst admission algorithm, called the jointly adaptive burst admission-spatial dimension algorithm (JABA-SD), which is designed to effectively allocate valuable resources in wideband CDMA systems to burst requests. Both the forward link and the reverse link burst requests are considered and the system is evaluated by dynamic simulations which takes into account user mobility, power control, and soft hand-off.published_or_final_versio

On generalized optimal scheduling of high data-rate bursts in CDMA systems

In a code-division multiple access (CDMA)-based wireless communication system, forward link is power limited and reverse link is interference limited. With power control and statistical multiplexing, voice services can be supported reasonably well. However, for high data-rate services, a more comprehensive scheduling mechanism is needed in order to achieve a high capacity while satisfying the forward and reverse link constraints. In this paper, we formulate the high data-burst scheduling as a integer programming problem using a generic CDMA system model. We also suggest an optimal algorithm for generating scheduling solutions. With cdma2000 system details plugged in the proposed algorithm, it is found that our algorithm considerably outperforms several fast heuristics, including equal sharing, first-come-first-served, longest delay first, and shortest burst first.published_or_final_versio

Design and evaluation of an optimization based approach to multiple burst admission control for cdma2000

In our recent study, we have formulated the burst admission control problem for wideband CDMA systems as an integer programming problem. In this paper, we propose and analyze the performance of a novel burst admission technique, called the multiple-burst admission-spatial dimension algorithm (MBA-SD) to judiciously allocate the previous channels in wideband CDMA systems to burst requests. Both the forward link and the reverse link burst requests are considered and the system is simulated by dynamic simulations which takes into account of the user mobility, power control and soft hand-off. We found that significant performance improvement, in terms of data user capacity, coverage, and admission and outage probabilities, could be achieved by our scheme compared to the existing burst assignment algorithms.published_or_final_versio

Performance measurements and analysis of the existing wireless communication technology in Iraq.

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel UniversityIraq may be considered as the largest wireless market in the Gulf region. A key driving factor in the market of wireless communication, it has seen enormous growth in the mobile phone market over the last five years leading to almost 24 million subscribers in 2011. Moreover, there are several technologies and services working in Iraq; three GSM Operators, three CDMA national operators and three CDMA provinces operators. The recent growth in the mobile phone market is based on the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standards creating the next-generation wireless technologies in the Iraqi Wireless Communication market. One of the essential issues of this research is to investigate the performance of the decreased Quality Of Service (QoS) caused by interferences in the services on GSM/CDMA operators in Iraq. Many issues should be studied and taken into consideration, such as; does the Multi-Coalition Forces cause the interferences, jamming, higher rate of calls drop and false ringing; or are they caused by bad design and planning? Do we need to optimise our network due to the large number of users? All these factors are investigated and the measurements of most service providers and government agencies will be gathered. A detailed analysis was included from the providers with measurements of performance and the reasons for the deterioration of wireless services. The novel contributions of this thesis is the extensive radio measurement campaign over the three mobile an CDMA operator networks and the analysis and recommendations that were drawn to suggest the best approach to improve the QoS of Wireless communication technologies. Awareness of actual reasons behind the deterioration of services will be raised to the Iraqi Government, CMC and the wireless service providers

Initial synchronisation of wideband and UWB direct sequence systems: single- and multiple-antenna aided solutions

This survey guides the reader through the open literature on the principle of initial synchronisation in single-antenna-assisted single- and multi-carrier Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) as well as Direct Sequence-Ultra WideBand (DS-UWB) systems, with special emphasis on the DownLink (DL). There is a paucity of up-to-date surveys and review articles on initial synchronization solutions for MIMO-aided and cooperative systems - even though there is a plethora of papers on both MIMOs and on cooperative systems, which assume perfect synchronization. Hence this paper aims to ?ll the related gap in the literature

An Energy-Efficient Reconfigurable Circuit Switched Network-on-Chip

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an energy-efficient on-chip communication architecture for multi-tile System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. The SoC architecture, including its run-time software, can replace inflexible ASICs for future ambient systems. These ambient systems have to be flexible as well as energy-efficient. To find an energy-efficient solution for the communication network we analyze three wireless applications. Based on their communication requirements we observe that revisiting of the circuit switching techniques is beneficial. In this paper we propose a new energy-efficient reconfigurable circuit-switched Network-on-Chip. By physically separating the concurrent data streams we reduce the overall energy consumption. The circuit-switched router has been synthesized and analyzed for its power consumption in 0.13 ¿m technology. A 5-port circuit-switched router has an area of 0.05 mm2 and runs at 1075 MHz. The proposed architecture consumes 3.5 times less energy compared to its packet-switched equivalen
