This paper investigates a hybrid space–time-division multiple access (S-TDMA) for broadband indoor wireless systems using sectored antennas. It is shown that portables which are located in different sectors of an indoor microcell may be able to reuse the same frequency and the same time slot. However, this requires careful scheduling of packet transmissions in order to avoid transmitting packet...

This paper presents interference suppression using a subband adaptive array (SBAA) for uplink space-time block coding (STBC) code division multiple access (CDMA) under a frequency selective fading (FSF) channel. The proposed scheme utilizes CDMA with STBC and a receive array antenna with SBAA processing at the receiver. The received signal is converted into the frequency domain before despreadi...

We present the architecture and code design for a highly scalable, 2.5 Gb/s per user optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system. The system is scalable to 100 potential and more than 10 simultaneous users, each with a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10. The system architecture uses a fast wavelength-hopping, time-spreading codes. Unlike frequency and phase sensitive coherent OCDMA s...

Time division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared medium (usually radio) networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different timeslots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using his own timeslot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency ...

In this paper, we provide an analysis to the performance of optical time-wavelength code-division multiple-access (OTW-CDMA) network when the system is working above the nominal transmission rate limit imposed by the passive encoding-decoding operation. We address the problem of overlapping in such a system and how it can directly affect the bit error rate (BER). A unified mathematical framewor...

Many topology-dependent transmission scheduling algorithms have been proposed to minimize the time-division multiple-access frame length in multihop packet radio networks (MPRNs), in which changes of the topology inevitably require recomputation of the schedules. The need for constant adaptation of schedules-to-mobile topology entails significant problems, especially in the highly dynamic mobil...

Due to its "xed assignment nature, the well-known TDMA protocol su!ers from poor performance when the o!ered tra$c is bursty. In this paper, a new time division multiple access protocol which is capable of operating e$ciently under bursty tra$c conditions is introduced. According to the proposed protocol, the station which grants permission to transmit at each time slot is selected by means of ...

The thesis introduces receiver algorithms improving the performance of TDMA mobile radio systems. Particularly, we consider receivers utilising side information, which can be obtained from the error control coding or by having a priori knowledge of interference sources. Iterative methods can be applied in the former case and interference suppression techniques in the latter. Convolutional codin...

We investigate energy-efficiency issues and resource allocation policies for time division multi-access (TDMA) over fading channels in the power-limited regime. Supposing that the channels are frequency-flat block-fading and transmitters have full or quantized channel state information (CSI), we first minimize power under a weighted sum-rate constraint and show that the optimal rate and time al...

This paper presents a physical model for Single Carrier-Frequency Division Mutliple Access (SCFDMA). We specifically show that by using mutlirate signal processing we derive a general time domain description of Localised SC-FDMA systems relying on circular convolution. This general model has the advantage of encompassing different implementations with flexible rates as well as additional freque...
