PREFACE
th
The papers appearing in this book were originally presented at the 8
Virginia Tech/MPRG Symposium on Wireless Personal Communications. This
symposium, which is an annual event for Virginia Tech and MPRG, was held June
10-12, 1998 on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. The symposium
brings together leaders from industry and academia to discuss the exciting future of
wireless and current research trends. The symposium has been an important part of
MPRG's activities since the inception of the group in 1990.
As can be seen from the Table of Contents, the papers included in this book
are divided into six sections. The first five of these correspond to symposium
sessions and are devoted to the following topics: Smart Antennas and Diversity,
Propagation, Interference Cancellation, Equalization, and Modulation, Coding and
Networking. These session titles reflect current research thrusts as the wireless
community strives to enhance the capabilities of wireless communications. This
year an added feature of the symposium was the inclusion of externally contributed
poster papers. Ten of these poster papers are included in this book as the sixth
section.
The first group of contributions, consisting of five papers, relate to smart
antennas and diversity. The first paper, Effects of Directional Antennas with
Realizable Beam Patterns on the Spaced-Time Correlation, by T. B. Welch, M. J.
Walker and R. E. Ziemer, considers the performance achieved with directional
antennas at a base station. The authors consider the relationship between the bit
error probability and the space-time correlation coefficient and illustrate the
degradation in system performance that results when this correlation drops below
one. The next paper, Frequency Reuse Reduction for IS-136 Using a Four Element
Adaptive Array, is co-authored by J. Tsai and R. M. Buehrer. They present
simulation results for two-element and four-element adaptive arrays and various
frequency reuse factors. The third paper in this group, Pseudo-Blind Algorithm for
SDMA Application by J. Laurila and E. Bonek, presents a novel pseudo-blind space-
time equalization algorithm for application to spatial division multiple access
systems. Simulation results are presented which show performance as a function of
various parameters including the number of antenna elements. The next paper,
Integrated Broadband Mobile System (IBMS) Featuring Smart Antennas by M.
Bronzel, J. Jelitto, M. Stege, N. Lohse, D. Hunold and G. Fettweis, explores the use
of smart antennas to adaptively enable a trade-off between mobility and data rate.
The authors present experimental data illustrating the relationship between
beamwidth and delay spread. They point out that reduced delay spread allows the
use of higher-order spectrally efficient modulation techniques. The final paper in
this group, CDMA Smart Antenna Performance, is co-authored by M. Feuerstein, J.
T. Elson, M. A. Zhao and S. Gordon. The strategy adopted is not to generate an
optimum antenna pattern for each channel but rather operates on a per sector basis.
