Adaptive algorithms for improving the throughput in an indoor mobile s-aloha ds-cdma system
This paper presents a novel Adaptive DSCDMA
Slotted-ALOHA packet random access scheme
with transmitter-based spreading codes for mobiles. It
is aimed at improving the throughput and message
delay delivery when traffic load values below the
saturation point of the conventional DS-CDMA
Slotted-ALOHA system are sensed in the channel. For
this purpose, one Mobile and two Base Station assisted
algorithms are envisaged to control the change of the
transmission rate according to the traffic load. These
algorithms revealed that the optimum behavior,
obtained using a Markov Chain model, may be almost
reached at a low complexity cost.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
A mobile controlled algorithm for improving the throughput in a s-aloha ds-cdma system
This paper presents a novel adaptive DS-CDMA slotted-ALOHA packet random access scheme with transmitter-based spreading codes for mobiles. It is aimed at improving the throughput and message delay delivery when traffic load values below the saturation point of the conventional DS-CDMA slotted-ALOHA system are sensed in the channel. For this purpose a mobile assisted algorithm is envisaged to control the change of the transmission rate according to the traffic load. This algorithm revealed that the optimum behavior, obtained using a Markov chain model, may be almost reached at a low complexity cost. Moreover, priorities between mobiles could be easily established. Finally, a traffic model based on a realistic statistical length distribution of the messages illustrates how the delay delivery can be greatly reduced.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

COSSAP simulation model of DS-CDMA indoor microwave ATM LAN
This thesis presents an original work in the area of designing and implementing a simulation testbed for modelling a high speed spread spectrum Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Local Area Network (LAN). The spread spectrum technique used in this LAN model is Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA). The simulation model includes at least a physical layer of such a LAN, embedded into the COSSAP1 simulation environment, and has been fully tested. All the newly developed building blocks are comprised of standard blocks from the COSSAP libraries or compatible user-built primitive blocks (only where it is absolutely necessary), and are flexible enough to allow the modification of simulation or model parameters; such as the number of signal channels, modulation method used, different spreading code sequences and so on. All these changes can be made with minimal effort. Another significant contribution made in this thesis is the extended research into evaluating the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of different spread spectrum COMA coding schemes for an indoor microwave A1M LAN [8]. Different spread spectrum CDMA coding schemes are compared for their transmission error rate in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel with varying transmitted signal power and at different channel Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) levels. Since a wireless microwave channel is very prone to transmission errors, a major contribution of the simulation testbed developed in this thesis is its use in the finding of an optimal physical layer transmission scheme with the best Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in an indoor environment
General Model for Infrastructure Multi-channel Wireless LANs
In this paper we develop an integrated model for request mechanism and data
transmission in multi-channel wireless local area networks. We calculated the
performance parameters for single and multi-channel wireless networks when the
channel is noisy. The proposed model is general it can be applied to different
wireless networks such as IEEE802.11x, IEEE802.16, CDMA operated networks and

System modeling and performance evaluation of rate allocation schemes for packet data services in wideband CDMA systems
To fully exploit the potential of a wideband CDMA-based mobile Internet computing system, an efficient algorithm is needed for judiciously performing rate allocation, so as to orchestrate and allocate bandwidth for voice services and high data rate applications. However, in existing standards (e.g., cdma2000), only a first-come-first-served equal sharing allocation algorithm is used, potentially leading to a low bandwidth utilization and inadequate support of high data rate multimedia mobile applications (e.g., video/audio files swapping, multimedia messaging services, etc.). In this paper, we first analytically model the rate allocation problem that captures realistic system constraints such as downlink power limits and control, uplink Interference effects, physical channel adaptation, and soft handoff. We then suggest six efficient rate allocation schemes that are designed based on different philosophies: rate optimal, fairness-based, and user-oriented. Simulations are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the rate allocation schemes using realistic system parameters In our model.published_or_final_versio
