Organizers: H. Aghvami, King's College London, UK W. C. Y. Lee, Airtouch Communications, USA II: Broadband Wireless: Applications and Services Organizer: Dave Falconer, Carleton University, Canada III-a: Mobile Data Services K. Pahlavan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA III-b: Developments in Wireless LAN's K. Pahlavan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA IV: Wireless Local Loop Organizer: Al Javed, BNR, Canada V: Standardization Towards Global Roaming and 3rd Generation Mobile Services Organizer: Juha Rapeli, Nokia, Finland ====================================================================== TUTORIALS GSM 900/DCS 1800 and Migration Towards Third Generation Systems - full day Instructor: Prof. A. H. Aghvami King's College London, UK By the end of 1995, the number of committed GSM900/DCS-1800 operators will exceed one hundred. This shows that GSM is a truly Global System. After the successful launch of the first PCN system (DCS-1800) in the UK many operators, world-wide are intending to implement DCS-1800 based PCN systems. The DCS-1800 system is based on GSM technology but operates on a higher frequency and with lower power than GSM. This course covers all the technical and operational aspects of GSM and DCS-1800 systems, from the physical to the network layer, The objectives and requirements of GSM phase 2 and GSM phase 2+ are also covered. Finally, two different approaches towards meeting the full requirements of Third Generation Mobile Systems (TGMS) in Europe are discussed. One is the migration from GSM network infrastructure to TGMS and the other is based on the design of new system fully integrated with BISDN. The pros and cons of these two approaches are discussed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CDMA Networks - full day Instructor: E. S. Sousa University of Toronto, Canada In this tutorial we review the basic principles of CDMA and relate then to the design of cellular, micro-cellular, and indoor wireless networks. We discuss the performance of a CDMA system at the system level in terms of the relationship between various factors such as type of spreading code, network link (forward/reverse), error control, system bandwidth, data rate, power control, receiver complexity, and channel propagation characteristics. Channel impulse response measurements are used to illustrate the effect of multi-path propagation. We discuss alternative schemes such as the distributed CDMA antenna, systems with a high degree of sectorization, orthogonal CDMA, and multi-carrier CDMA. The physical layer aspects of the IS-95 standard will be discussed along with European proposals for third generation wireless networks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Multiple Access for Future Generation of Wireless Personal Communication Systems - full day Instructor: R. Prasad Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands With the fast growing technology, it may now be said with confirmity that today's objective of the communication engineers to achieve the future generation of wireless personal communication systems (FGWPCS) beyond 2000 which was yesterday's myth (before 1970) will be tomorrow's reality. FGWPCS will convert the already shrinking world into a GLOBAL VILLAGE. A future generation of wireless personal communication systems is defined as the ultimate goal of today's communication engineers which will be achieved by providing communication services by any person to any person at any place at any time without any delay in any form through any medium using one pocketized unit with minimum cost presenting acceptable quality using a personal telecommunications number. This tutorial first provides an overview of contentionless (TDMA, FDMA), contention (Random Access e.g, Slotted ALOHA, CSMA, ISMA, PRMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) protocols. Then it gives detailed studies of these protocols in personal wireless environment which includes pico-, micro-and macro-cellular as well as land mobile satellite systems. Finally, it discusses some hybrid protocols particulary, Hybrid CDMA/ISMA protocol. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Data Networks - morning Instructor: K. Pahlavan Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA The main components of the existing wireless data networks are low speed wide area services referred to as mobile data services and high speed local networks called wireless LANs. This tutorial provides an overview of the market, history, standards, technologies and future directions of these two major categories of wireless data networks. The tutorial starts with a discussion on the similarities among the wireless data networks and the emerging PCS and digital cellular networks. It will follow with description of the existing and emerging mobile data services: ARDIS, Mobitex, CDPD, TETRA and IS-95. Then, the existing wireless LANs and the future directions in ad-hoc computing and mobile networking will be discussed; and the emerging activities in WINForum for the PCS bands and the evolving standards, IEEE 802.11 and HIPERLAN, will be introduced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Local Area Networks - afternoon Instructor: K. C. Chen National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan With the popular portable computers/PDAs and necessary networking, wireless local area networks has become an emerging technology for today's computer, communication, and consumer electronics industries. This course intends to cover the principles and practice to design and implement a wireless local area network, and further research and advanced development knowledge. This course will describe the overview, regulations, channel characterization, wireless transmission (spread spectrum radio and nondirective infrared), medium access control, IEEE 802.11 draft standards and Europe's HIPERLAN, and state-of-the-art technology for wireless LANs. The potential audience includes researcher in wireless communications and networks, practice engineers, system integrators, marketing analysts, regulatory agents, and those who want to know wireless LANs technology and standards (IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs standard draft has been available since November 1994 and HIPERLAN is expected to be available by the end of 1995.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Microcellular Mobile and Personal Communication Systems - morning Instructor: H. Hashemi Sharifi University of Technology, Iran The major advantage of microcellular systems is large capacity and great spectrum efficiency (several thousand subscribers per MHz per square kilometers). There are other advantages as well. Microcellular architecture solves problems associated with acquiring land and facilities by installing the base stations on lamp posts or on the roof of small buildings. Furthermore, installation and maintenance costs per customer are reduced, making the service affordable to a wider sector of the society. Public places such as parks, stadiums, shopping centers, etc. that have large traffic density, or "holes" in large-cell systems can also receive coverage with localized microcells. In this tutorial basic principles and applications of microcellular mobile and personal communication systems are explored. Although both outdoor and indoor applications are discussed, a heavier emphasis is placed on outdoor microcells since indoor systems have received coverage in other tutorials. The tutorial is planned for audience with a wide range of background. This includes PCS system designers, operating company management and engineering personnel, and students pursuing a deep understanding of this aspect of wireless communications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Mobile & Multimedia Satellite Systems - afternoon Instructor: S. Murthy Vistar Communications Inc., Canada This half a day tutrial will deal with a number of recently proposed and currently operating satellite systems. These satellite system can be classified under four categories; (i) Personal Positioning & Navigation Systems, (ii) Personal/Mobile Communications Systems, (iii) Personal Entertainment/Education Systems, and (iv) Interactive multimedia systems. The tutorial will start with an overview of different satellite orbits (GEO, LEO, MEO, & HEO) & their relative merits. Then the system & service concepts of each of the four categories of the sysems will be described. In the first category we will discuss GPS & Orbcom multi-satellite systems, and in the second category, we will discuss a number of GEO (MSAT), LEO (Globalstar, Iridium), MEO (Odyssey, Inmarsat-P), and HEO (Archimedes) systems which are designed to provide voice & data services. In the third category, we wil discuss about Hughes' DirecTV system features. In the fourth interactive multimedia satellite systems category, we discuss the 840-satellite Teledesic system and Hughes' Spaceway systems. Finally, we will present strategic views on how these systems will compete and complement their terrestrial equivalents. A brief account of future trends will also be presented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adaptive Signal Separation and Demodulation in Co-channel Multiuser Communication Systems - Friday afternoon Instructor: Y. Bar-Ness New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA Frequency reuse became important in many communication systems. Most users are sharing the same frequency bandwidth by implementing code, polarization or other distinguishing orthogonal properties of signals. Signal multiplexing methods are used in dually polarized satellites and terrestrail microwave links, overlapping frequency bands for constant modulus modulation systems, and mobile and personal, indoor and outdoor communications. Clearly the performance of these systems depends largely on co-channel interference. Particularly for the non-stationary fading environment, adaptive cancelers are needed. In this tutorial, methods of adaptive signal separation, sucha as cross-coupled PLL, constant modulus separators, and cross-polarization cancelers will be reviewed. New methods of adaptive interference cancell- ation for multiuser code-division multiple-access (CDMA) will be presented. ====================================================================== WEDNESDAY MORNING Session A1: Equalization Organizer: G.
