In this letter, we analyze optical burst switching (OBS) systems. The analysis leads to a framework which provides guidelines for OBS design. We ident...

In this letter, we demonstrate how error propagation may occur with blind sequence estimation based on the Viterbi algorithm (BSE-VA). We further show...

We consider a rake receiver for coherent binary orthogonal signaling employing predetection maximal-ratio combining (MRC), in which the tap weights ar...

We propose a pre/post-rake combining technique using the rake structures at both the transmitter and the receiver. An optimal solution for the pre-rak...

The downlink of UMTS employs variable spreading factor and multicode to support variable data rate transmissions. In multicode and low spreading facto...
