Having considered the mapping of logical traffic and control channels onto physical channels, speech and error correction coding, interleaving as well as the TDMA hierarchy and syn- chronisation problems in Part I of this contribution, here mainly transmission issues are addressed (I - 61 and some performance figures are provided. Constant envelope partial response Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) with a channel spacing of 200 kHz is deployed to support 125 duplex channels in the 890 - 91 5MHz uplink and 935 - 960 MHz downlink bands, respectively. At a transmission rate of 271 kbitls 1.35 bitlslHz spectral efficiency is achieved. The controlled GMSK-induced and un-controlled channel-induced inter-symbol interferences are removed by the channel equaliser. The set of standardised wide-band GSM channels is introduced in order to pro- vide bench-markers for performance comparisons. Efficient power budgeting and minimum co- - - channel interferences are ensured by the combination of adaptive power- and handover-control based on weighted averaging of up to eight uplink and downlink system parameters. Discontinu- ous transmissions (DTX) assisted by reliable spectral-domain voice activity detection (VAD) and comfort-noise insertion further reduce interferences and power consumption. Due to ciphering, no unprotected information is sent via the radio link. As a result, spectrally efficient, high-quality mo- bile communications with a variety of services and international roaming is possible in cells of up to 35km radius for signal to noise- and interference-ratios in excess of 10 - 12 dBs.

Following the launch of the Pan-European digital mobile radio (GSM) system its salient features are summarised in this tutorial review [1,8]. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with eight users per carrier is used at a multi-user rate of 271 kbit/s, demanding a channel equaliser to combat dispersion. The error protected chip-rate of the full-rate traffic channels is 22.8 kbit/s, while in half-rate channels is 11.4 kbit/s. There are two speech traffic channels, five different-rate data traffic channels and 14 various control and signalling channels to support the system's operation. A moderately complex, 13 kbit/s Regular Pulse Excited speech codec with long term predictor (LTP) is used, combined with an embedded three-class error correction codec and multi-layer interleaving to provide sensitivity-matched unequal error protection for the speech bits. An overall speech delay of 57.5 ms is maintained. Slow frequency hopping at 217 hops/s yields substantial performance gains for slowly moving pedestrians.

... Here, PCSI at the legitimate receiver was assumed to benefit these conventional schemes. We also considered the classic differential star-QAM (SQAM) [72] and the conventional nonsquare DUC (N-DUC) [33], both of which worked efficiently without CSI. As a reference, the massive MIMO (M-MIMO) cryptography method of [73] was considered, although it required PCSI at both the transmitter and receiver. ...

... Furthermore, to ensure the required quality of service, robust modulation schemes decrease the system throughput. Adaptive modulation has been proposed as a powerful method to maintain the desired quality of service and to maximize the transmission throughput given channel conditions [2], [3]. The basic idea of this technique is to switch between different modulation constellation sizes depending on the channel state. ...

... Sixth A. Roadmap of Multiple Access 1) MA in Cellular Networks: Over the last few decades, the development of MA schemes has been seen as an important factor in the evolution of cellular networks from the first-generation (1G) to 6G. As shown in Fig. 1, the MA schemes used in wireless networks, including frequency division multiple access (FDMA) in 1G systems; Time division multiple access (TDMA) [4], which is widely used in the 2G global system for mobile communications (GSM); Code division multiple access (CDMA) [5], which supports multiple users with user-specific spreading sequences within the same resource block (RB), was originally proposed by Qualcomm and is widely used in 3G; and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) [6], which is implemented in 4G networks by dividing the frequency and time RB into narrow subcarriers and slots. A defining feature of all MA schemes is their orthogonality, which ensures that wireless network resources, including frequency, time, and code resources, are theoretically allocated to different users. ...

... FM HD-Radio works in FM band, but both laboratory and field tests prove it does not offer the audio quality and signal robustness performance that listeners would expect. And the low digital signal power level, which is 23 dB below the power of FM carrier, means that coverage of HD Radio is far below than that of the analogue [1]. Techniques change greatly in recent years. ...

... Orthogonal sequences are of a great practical interest for the current and future direct sequence(DS) code-division multiple-access(CDMA) systems where the orthogonality principle can be used for channels separation, e.g. [1]. However, most of the known sets of orthogonal spreading sequences possess very poor aperiodic cross-correlation characteristics, i.e. when there is any misalignment between the sequences corresponding to different users, the cross-correlation between such misaligned sequences is usually quite high, resulting in significant multi-access interference(MAI) problems where it is impossible to guarantee sequence alignment due, for example to different propagation delays. ...

... In this paper, two basic scenarios are taken into account. The first scenario is composed by a GSM communication system [25,26] whose radio carriers use both the 900 MHz (GSM900) and the 1800 MHz bands (GSM1800): in this system only the voice service is considered. Therefore, as far as the traffic is concerned, the Poisson and the exponential models have been adopted for the call arrival rate and the length of each call, respectively. ...

... We note, furthermore, that with the advent of the emerging so-called general packet radio system known as GPRS [37] and the high-speed circuit switched data (HSCSD) [36] channel, the employment of multiple time slots per user becomes possible, which renders the system more amenable to video telephony [27], [38]. Let us consider first the 2G cellular systems represented, for example, by the global system of mobile communications known as GSM [39], [40] and its 1800-MHz carrier-frequency " up-converted " version known as the DCS 1800 system, the Pan-American IS-95 (CDMA) scheme [41], the Pan-American IS-54/IS-136 [42]–[44], and the Japanese digital cellular (JDC) arrangement [45] summarized in the left half of Table 1. These large-cell cellular systems have a speech rate of less than or equal to 13 kb/s. ...

... A MS near the border of a cell can often receive radio signals from more than one BS due to the overlapped radio coverage between adjacent cells. By adopting a suitable BS selection algorithm, we can exploit the overlapped radio coverage to further enhance the system's teletraffic performance [35,36,37,38,39,40,40]. We will propose our BS selection algorithms in the latter part of Chapter 2. ...
