信息社会世界峰会及其筹备进程

信息社会世界峰会是根据ITU的相关决议，在ITU的大力倡导下，在联合国和其他国际组织、国际机构的支持和配合下促成的。峰会的目的旨在通过召开尽可能高级别的会议，就信息社会建设问题达成全球共识，通过利用信息通信技术潜力。推动实现联合国《千年宣言》所确定的目标，促进全人类的进步。峰会的整个进程分为两个阶段，第一阶段于2003年12月在日内瓦举行，第二阶段于2005年在突尼斯举行。目前，峰会的主要议题和安排已基本确定，各国，尤其是发达国家和发展中国家在对信息社会的认识和未来的一些做法上还存在明显分歧。

A survey of 5G technologies: regulatory,standardization and industrial perspectives

In recent years, there have been significant developments in the research on 5th Generation (5G) networks. Several enabling technologies are being explored for the 5G mobile system era. The aim is to evolve a cellular network that is intrinsically flexible and remarkably pushes forward the limits of legacy mobile systems across all dimensions of performance metrics. All the stakeholders, such as regulatory bodies, standardization authorities, industrial fora, mobile operators and vendors, must work in unison to bring 5G to fruition. In this paper, we aggregate the 5G-related information coming from the various stakeholders, in order to i) have a comprehensive overview of 5G and ii) to provide a survey of the envisioned 5G technologies; their development thus far from the perspective of those stakeholders will open up new frontiers of services and applications for next-generation wireless networks.

Standardization on performance objectives of satellite systems using adaptive coding and modulation

The radiocommunication part of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU‐R) establishes the standards for wireless communications. Recommendation ITU‐R S.1062 specifies the performance objectives for satellite communication systems providing constant bit rate service. However, this is not applicable to most modern satellite communication systems utilizing adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) schemes to compensate for channel impairments, especially for systems operating in high frequency bands. For this reason, ITU‐R recently developed Recommendation ITU‐R S.2131 that is suitable for satellite systems with ACM. The developed Recommendation provides a method to determine performance objectives for satellite systems using ACM. Two possible objective parameters are presented, including packet error rate and spectral efficiency. This paper presents the standardization process, and the background used to establish new performance objectives. In addition, interpretations of the objectives are given by using estimation results for two different propagation characteristics.

A Perceptually Motivated Active Noise Control Design and Its Psychoacoustic Analysis

The active noise control (ANC) technique attenuates acoustic noise in a flexible and effective way. Traditional ANC design aims to minimize the residual noise energy, which is indiscriminative in the frequency domain. However, human hearing perception exhibits selective sensitivity for different frequency ranges. In this paper, we aim to improve the noise attenuation performance in perceptual perspective by incorporating noise weighting into ANC design. We also introduce psychoacoustic analysis to evaluate the sound quality of the residual noise by using a predictive pleasantness model, which combines four psychoacoustic parameters: loudness, sharpness, roughness, and tonality. Simulations on synthetic random noise and realistic noise show that our method improves the sound quality and that ITU‐R 468 noise weighting even performs better than A‐weighting.     

Modified rain attenuation model for tropical regions for Ku‐Band signals

Attenuation measurement on Ku‐ band satellite signal in a tropical site, Fiji is presented. Rain‐attenuation prediction by ITU‐R and the Crane Global models showed noticeable deviation to the measured values. Unlike the monotonic decrease predicted by these models, exceedance of rain‐rate and attenuation in Fiji and other tropical regions showed the presence of breakpoints. For Suva, the breakpoint in rain‐rate and attenuation were at 58 mm/h and 9.4 dB with exceedances of 0.009 and 0.018%, respectively. Modifications to the ITU‐R model are proposed in this paper, for adopting it in the tropics. These modifications are based on the properties that in the tropics (i) the accumulation time factor at the breakpoints is an invariant (ii) for elevation angles <60° and at high rain rates multiple rain cells intersect the slant path. The attenuation exceedance is predicted by two expressions similar to the ITU‐R model, one for rain‐rates lower than the breakpoint rain‐rate and the other above it. The modified prediction model show remarkable agreement with the measured Ku‐band attenuation in seven tropical sites. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
