Joint Scale-Lag Diversity in Mobile Wideband Systems

Overview This paper considers the effect of mobility on a wideband Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) communication system, and study a scale-lag Rake receiver capable of leveraging the diversity that results from mobility. A wideband signal has a large bandwidth-to-center frequency ratio, such that the typical narrowband Doppler spread assumptions do not apply to mobile channels. Instead, the paper assumes a more general temporal scaling phenomenon, i.e., a dilation of the transmitted signal's time support. Based on uniform ring of scatterers model, the paper determines that the wideband scattering function, which quantifies the average scale spreading, has a "Bathtub-shaped" scale profile.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: The future of BlackBerry

As stated, the vast majority of activity today is in the form of small-scale pilots and limited rollouts to VIP users, spread thinly across the corporate and public sectors. Quocirca research tells us that early adopters of wireless generally see...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
