Abstract

A mathematical model is developed to determine the probability of successful transmission of a packet over a fading land mobile data channel.

The model is further extended to packet radio channels and the throughput degradation of three random access schemes is analyzed. A relationship between throughput degradation and distance from the base station is finally derived and numerical results presented.

Recommendations

Low-SNR capacity of noncoherent fading channels

Discrete-time Rayleigh-fading single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels are considered, with no channel state information at the transmitter or the receiver. The fading is assumed to be stationary and ...
Capacity of multiple-antenna fading channels: spatial fading correlation, double scattering, and keyhole

The capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels is limited by both the spatial fading correlation and rank deficiency of the channel. While spatial fading correlation reduces the diversity gains, rank deficiency due to double ...
Multiuser decorrelator detectors in MIMO CDMA systems over Nakagami fading channels

Space-time spreading has been employed to exploit the spatial diversity in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. In the presence of multiuser interference, resulting from the cross-correlation between ...
