In CDMA mobile system, network connection is constructed with orthogonal spreading codes assigned to each user in order to distinguish one from the other. The number of distinguishable codes and the process speed are different according to the orthogonal spreading factors which, in another literature, can be described as the tree structure. In this paper, we investigate methods to improve the quality of services (QoS) of communication, by changing the spreading factors of orthogonal spreading codes according to the number of users. We propose the effective method to reconstruct the tree structure of orthogonal spreading codes for supporting various data rates transmission in DS-CDMA mobile system. We compare spreading factors with and without the reconstruction and evaluate the effectiveness of the reconstruction method.

Hierarchical macrocell/microcell architectures have been proposed for future cellular mobile communication. The performance analysis for the hierarchical cellular system becomes an important issue. In this paper, extending the analytical methods from[1][2][8], assuming that the imperfect power control follows log-normal statistics, and employing different attenuation models for macrocells and microcells, the capacity plane and outage probability of the system are examined and quantified with and without perfect sectorization. From the numerical results of parameters of IS-95 protocol, the high user capacity and lower outage probability may be expected in the case of relatively tight power control and narrower overlap between sectors. These results are compared with the previously published CDMA nonhierarchical cellular system estimation. When we employ the hierarchical cellular system, we can increase the user capacity 2.3 times with the same bandwidth 1.25 MHz than the one of the nonhierarchical cellular system.

In order to serve traffic hot spots, the hierarchical cellular systems or the hybrid TDMA/CDMA have been proposed, recently. In order to depress the multi-user interference and increase capacity, the forward link power control strategy is adopted in the macrocell/microcell hierarchical cellular system using code division multiple access (CDMA). Its effects are estimated in this paper. Especially, the impact of -th distance power control laws on the forward link outage probability and capacity plane for the hierarchical cellular system are investigated. The coverage area user capacity of the overlaid macrocell/microcell cellular system is obtained. The numerical results and discussions with previous published results are presented in detail.

In this paper, we propose an approach to solve the power control issue in a DS-CDMA cellular system using genetic algorithms (GAs). The transmitter power control developed in this paper has been proven to be efficient to control co-channel interference, to increase bandwidth utilization and to balance the comprehensive services that are sharing among all the mobiles with attaining a common signal-to-interference ratio(SIR). Most of the previous studies have assumed that the transmitter power level is controlled in a constant domain under the assumption of uniform distribution of users in the coverage area or in a continuous domain. In this paper, the optimal centralized power control (CPC) vector is characterized and its optimal solution for CPC is presented using GAs in a large-scale DS-CDMA cellular system under the realistic context that means random allocation of active users in the entire coverage area. Emphasis is put on the balance of services and convergence rate by using GAs.

A simplified analysis is presented for the reverse link maximum capacity trade-offs between each layer, spectrum efficiency and its multi-rate features of TDMA/W-CDMA and N-CDMA/W-CDMA overlaid systems with the perfect power control based on the measurement of signal-to-interference ratio (CIR). In order to suppress the multi-cross interference, the other important techniques used in the analysis are the ideal notch filtering and the signal level clipper for W-CDMA system transmitters and receivers. We firstly propose the concepts of the notch filtering depth and signal level clipping depth in the paper. The numerical results can be adopted as a guideline in designing the overlaid systems in the various cases as well as a means to investigate the flexibility of sharing of the spread spectrum and their feasibility in the future mobile communication system.

In cellular networks, the system performance can be degraded because of the inefficient use of channels with the two types of traffic, that is, the new call traffic and handover call traffic. This problem can be alleviated if the channels are used efficiently for new call traffic and handover call traffic. In this paper, we consider the proper ratio of the number of channels for new calls to the number of total channels denoted as α. We introduce the new call channel limiting technique incorporating velocity of mobile user. We model one-dimensional cellular networks and evaluate the performance in terms of the blocking probabilities, the probability of call dropping and the probability of incomplete call. We show with numerical examples that the system performance can be improved by selecting the appropriate α for various velocities of mobile users.

In this paper, using a standard propagation model, the performance evaluation of a code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) cellular system with high data rate services for the reverse and forward links is investigated. In the approach, we propose "Equivalent Load" to estimate two cases of the system termed as the static analysis and the dynamic analysis. Performance measures of the static analysis obtained include the system capacity plane, outage probability and throughput. Performance measures of the dynamic analysis obtained include the allowed maximum data rate and the constraint set between the load situation and the data rate. We also estimate the effects of the power control on the system.

In this paper, we discuss both effective approaches in specification process, formal specification and reuse, and focus on providing an integrated and systematic supportbased on them. Preparing the specification model which mediates an image of the designer and another representation of it in formal method, the designer can specify the target system incrementally and smoothly. As for the specification model, we employ LTS on the early step of specification process because of its understandability for the designer. Moreover, reuse of specification leads to reduction of the cost and time, defining retrieval mechanism of reusable cases from database by mathematically calculating similarity of them. For the reuse mechanism, we define a new concept of similarity on LTS as the criterion of case retrieval, which enables more flexible matching between the besigner's requirement and the existing case than any other traditional schema on LTS, and show the case retrieval algorithm. Integration of two approaches brings us the great improvement of the productivity on system development.

This paper presents a support method for specifying communication systems. Generally, a set of requirements for a target system is partial and ambiguous to construct the whole system, namely it lacks certain necessary descriptions for the target system. To attack this problem, our method enables a designer to obtain such necessary descriptions from specifications stored in a knowledge base, namely by reusing specifications, and helps the designer to specify the target system completely. In our support method, we adopt labelled transition systems (LTSs) which are state transition graphs and are shared as a common notion by most FDTs. Therefore, our method is the common approach to FDTs. We propose a new idea about similarity berween LTSs, and propose an algorithm to suggest similar LTSs to the designer.
