The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project was founded in 1993 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) with the goal of standardizing digital television services. Its initial standard for satellite delivery of digital television, dubbed DVB-S, used a concatenation of an outer (204,188) byte shortened Reed Solomon code and an inner constraint length 7, variable rate (r ra...

As we know, LTE is the transition between the 3G and 4G and is also the global standard of 3.9G, which has improved and enhanced the air interface technology of 3G. LTE is characterized into two cases: LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD. Since LTE-TDD is researched dominantly in China, all the studies in this paper are discussed under the TD-LTE system. However, in the TDD system, the reciprocity is usually a...

When the stations in an IEEE 802.11 infrastructure basic service set employ Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), this exacerbates per-flow unfair access problem. We propose a novel analytical model to approximately calculate the maximum per-flow TCP congestion window limit that prevents packet losses at the access point buffer and therefore provides fair TCP access both in the downlink and upli...

Most of the deployed IEEE 802.11e Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) use infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) in which an Access Point (AP) serves as a gateway between wired and wireless domains. We present the unfairness problem between the uplink and the downlink flows of any Access Category (AC) in the 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) when the default settings of the ED...

Executive Summary This white paper compares and contrasts the two major implementations of beamforming found in the market today: ● Switched array beamforming ● Digital signal processing (DSP)-based beamforming This paper suggests that both methods do offer some performance gain but that DSP-based beamforming (such as used in ClientLink 2.0) is superior (especially when supporting a network wit...

Recent attention to resource allocation algorithms for multiservice CDMA networks has focused on algorithms optimizing the aggregate throughputs (sum of all individual throughputs) on the uplink and on the downlink. Unfortunately, for a given set of real time (RT) and non real-time (NRT) communications services, such optimal algorithms involve non-integer spreading factors that do not belong to...

In the past two decades, there has been a drastic increase in the mobile traffic, which is caused by the improved user experience with smart phones and its applications. In LTE system, the packet scheduler plays a vital role in the effective utilization of the resources. This field is not standardized and has immense scope of improvement, allowing vendor-specific implementation. LTE scheduling ...
