The network model for the Gateway Control Protocol is shown in Fig. 21.4-1. It is designed primarily to support SCN interfaces (lines and trunks) that connect to a packet network via a media gateway controlled by a media gateway controller. The approach is typical of the server-routed model (centralized control): call-control logic is located in the MGC (network), and MGs (peripherals) have little intelligence. A MGC uses this protocol to communicate with a MG, while communicating with other MGCs (or UAs) via peer-to-peer protocols like H.323, SIP, or BICC. A MGC and the MGs it controls are the only units needed to handle lines and channel-associated signaling (CAS) trunks to/from the SCN. Common-channel signaling trunks, on the other hand, require the additional presence of a signaling gateway. The SG is needed to interface with the signaling data links from/to the SCN. The SG can be integrated into the same physical unit as the MGC or can be a separate physical unit, in which case it communicates with the MGC via a protocol like SIGTRAN, described later in this chapter.

due to the Doppler effect. On the downside, faster decay in the frequency domain is bought by slower decay in the time domain, which increases delay-spread-induced errors. Gaussian-shaped basis functions have been shown to be a useful compromise. Self-interference cancellation techniques: in this approach, information is modulated not just onto a single subcarrier but onto a group of them. This technique is very effective for mitigation of ICI, but leads to a reduction in spectral ef ciency of the system. Frequency domain equalizers: if the channel and its variations are known, then its impact on the received signal, as described by Eq. (19.18), can be reversed. While this reversal can no longer be done by a single-tap equalizer, there is a variety of suitable techniques. For example, we can simply invert H , or use a minimum mean square error criterion. These inversions can be computationally expensive: as the channel is continuously changing, the inverse matrix has to be recomputed for every OFDM block. However, methods with reduced computational complexity exist. Another approach is to interpret different tones as different users, and then apply multiuser detection techniques (as described in Section 18.4) for detection of the tones. Figure 19.15 shows an example of the effect of different equalization techniques (Operator Perturbation Technique (OPT) denotes a linear inversion technique, while Parallel Interface Cancellation (PIC) and Successive Interface Cancellation (SIC) denote multiuser detection).

ou ve got it. Now customize it! One of the strengths of just about every Windows operating system is their strong propensity for customization. Through the centralized Control Panel menu, you can launch applets and properties dialog boxes for almost every aspect of Windows. Many of those settings pages are also attainable through shortcuts by right-clicking various objects, menus, and areas of the screen. Windows Vista has made the Control Panel even more powerful and userfriendly, with a new format that groups the settings and controls better than Windows XP s Control Panel did. Lots of new areas lurk within the Control Panel, such as Solutions to Problems, Performance Rating and Tools, Backup and Restore Center, Windows Sidebar, Parental Controls, Windows Update, and more. Of course, the old standbys are there, too, like Device Manager, Administrative Tools, Printers, Keyboard, and Mouse. Windows Vista takes care of the vast majority of the necessary settings automatically on installation. It sniffs out your network, looks for Internet access, detects as much of your hardware as it can with its default drivers, sets up background items like the paging file and Windows Firewall, and the list goes on. You ll have to set some basic options, however, such as the screen resolution and refresh rate, the sound card and speaker configuration, and a few other odds and ends.

where a ( k ) is the complex channel coefficient in the bit interval kTb 5 t < ( k 1)Tb. The variable & ( k ) is termed the noisy channel estimate derived from the received signal contaminated by the noise element in the second term of Equation 1.33, while d ( k ) are estimates obtained from the output of the smoothing filter in Figure 1.13, which assists in averaging out random effects of channel noise. Assuming that n ( t )is theAWGN having a the zero mean (any MA1 can befairly accurately modelled also as AWGN [82]), averaging a large number of these noisy estimates will suppress the noise's influence. Several proposals have been published in the literature regarding the smoothing algorithm used inchannel estimation, such as moving average [83,84], least squares line fitting [SS], low-pass filtering [79,80, 851, and adaptive linear smoothing [86]. A more in-depth discourse on the TTIB technique was also given in Section 10.3.1 of [ 121 in the context of QAM. A compromise in terms of complexity and accuracy has to be made in selecting a particular algorithm. So far, only the downlink channel estimation has been elaborated on. The associated uplink issues are discussed next.

In the nineteenth century, many new geometries were discovered. One of the simplest but most powerful was based on the idea that the point half way between two given points is rather like their average: and a point somewhere else on the line joining two points is their weighted average. This is the barycentric calculus, introduced by Mobius (1790-1868). In fact it can be regarded as a variant of coordinate geometry, but it is useful enough and powerful enough to be treated separately (though it is a source of confidence that, if necessary, any statement in the barycentric calculus can be translated into a statement in coordinate geometry, so we need have no fear that the rules of barycentric calculus do not work.) Figure 5.18 shows two points, P and Q, marked on the coordinate plane. The point R, midway between them is indeed their average, if you interpret 'average' to mean averaging the x and y coordinates separately. Leaving coordinates behind, and marking R as t(P + Q),
