Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal will investigate the interconnection of base station transceivers and controllers in a microcellular mobile communications system with an adaptive radio interface. This is potentially an important application for the DQDB MAN upon which may be mapped a distributed resource allocation functional entity. The architectures for 3rd generation systems are beginning to emerge and are characterised by high efficiency of radio resource usage. This essentially means that the radio interface will be adapted to accommodate variations in traffic types (variable bit rate services), variations in environment and variations in link quality. Relatively little attention has been given to the interconnection of base station transceivers and controllers in such an adaptive system. This proposal will give particular attention to the architecture of a distributed resources allocation functionality mapped on to the queued and pre-arbitrated access modes of the DQDB MAN. The DQDB MAN is well disposed to support the development of efficient signalling scenarios for control of an adaptive air interface and this work will interface directly with the work being supported by EPSRC grant number GR/K20804 concerned with the Development and Assessment of Adaptive Control of the Radio Channel in TDMA Cellular Systems .
