5. Proposed Selection Criteria (in decreasing priority order)
June 30th, 2005
Proposed Selection Criteria (in decreasing priority order)
PER (packet error rate) with 15.4a channel models, rate ½ convolutional code (constraint length up to 5; more needs justification):
1.a) Coherent receiver
1.b) Diff. coherent receiver
1.c) Non-coherent receiver
SOP isolation (at least 2 SOP/band; up to 6 SOP)
Peak-to-peak voltage shall be specified, 1Vpp or Less is preferable
Spectrum: SPAR (spectral peak-to-average ratio)
Receiver flexibility: Support for coherent, diff. coherent and non-coherent RX
Scalability: Trade-off performance vs. complexity
Resilience to NBI (narrow-band interference)

Simulation Guidelines
PER (packet error rate) vs. Eb/N0
AWGN
Performance Coherent, Diff. Coherent, Non-coherent receive
4a channel models
Order of importance: CM1, CM8, then others
Show PER performance without receiver enhancements (e.g. a single rake finger for coherent receivers)
Show PER performance with proposal's enhancements
SOP isolation
Desired signal set at 6dB above sensitivity (Eb/N0 where 1% PER was achieved in the channel model.)
Vary SINR compute PER. Multiple interferer scenarios should use equal power.
Spectrum: SPAR (spectral peak-to-average ratio)
State/show what back-off will be required.
