TL;DR: It is shown that average cell throughput can be improved by 25-60 percent by applying careful cross-layer adaptation schemes and a simulation framework forCross-layer analysis between the MAC and PHY layers in 802.16e systems is provided.
Abstract: In this article we propose cross-layer design frameworks for 802.16e OFDMA systems that are compatible with WiBro based on various kinds of cross-layer protocols for performance improvement: a cross-layer adaptation framework and a design example of primitives for cross-layer operation between its MAC and PHY layers. In addition, we provide a simulation framework for cross-layer analysis between the MAC and PHY layers in 802.16e systems. Through this cross-layer simulator, we show that average cell throughput can be improved by 25-60 percent by applying careful cross-layer adaptation schemes.

TL;DR: This paper discusses the design issues of highly efficient and monolithic wideband RF polar transmitters, especially the ones that use the envelope-tracking (ET) technique, and the system-on-a-chip design considerations of the monolithic polar transmitter using ET versus EER (envelope elimination and restoration).
Abstract: This paper discusses the design issues of highly efficient and monolithic wideband RF polar transmitters, especially the ones that use the envelope-tracking (ET) technique. Besides first reviewing the current state-of-the-art polar transmitters in the literature, three focus topics will be discussed: 1) the system-on-a-chip (SoC) design considerations of the monolithic polar transmitter using ET versus EER (envelope elimination and restoration); 2) the design of highly efficient envelope amplifier capable of achieving the high efficiency, current, bandwidth, accuracy and noise specifications required for wideband signals; and 3) the design of high-efficiency monolithic Si-based class E power amplifiers (PAs) suitable for ET-based RF polar transmitters. A design prototype of a polar transmitter using ET and a monolithic SiGe PA that passed the stringent low-band EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) transmit mask with 45% overall transmitter system efficiency will be given; the simulated data of the entire polar transmitter system is also compared against the measurement. Further investigations on how to solve the technical challenges to successfully implement linear and high-efficiency ET-based polar transmitter for broadband wireless applications such as WiBro/WiMAX are also discussed.
TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-sleeve monopole antenna for indoor base station application is presented, which is very suitable for GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, UMTS, IMT2000, WiBro, WiMAX2350/3500 and wireless LAN.
Abstract: The design and enhanced bandwidth performance of a dual-sleeve monopole antenna for indoor base station application is presented. By a top-loading circular patch shorted to the ground plane through four shorting probes, the size reduction is achieved. The dual-sleeve structure is successfully employed to improve the impedance bandwidths through achieving another two resonant modes. A measured impedance bandwidth for VSWR ≤ 2 of about 137% ranging from 730 to 3880 MHz is achieved. It is very suitable for GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, UMTS, IMT2000, WiBro, WiMAX2350/3500, and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b).
TL;DR: WiMAX/Wibro circuit and system co-design that include RF circuits and digital DSP blocks co-simulations suggest that the entire highly integrated ET-based transmit (TX) system can meet the stringent 802.16e mobile-WiMAX TX mask with 64QAM modulation and reach ∼33% peak system efficiency.
Abstract: This paper discusses both circuits and system design aspects of highly-efficient wideband RF polar transmitters for mobile WiMAX/Wibro applications using an open-loop envelope tracking (ET) technique. The design of linear-assisted switching envelope amplifier and monolithic SiGe class-E power amplifier (PA) is discussed, while the SPICE simulation results are compared with the measurement data. WiMAX/Wibro circuit and system co-design that include RF circuits and digital DSP blocks co-simulations suggest that the entire highly integrated ET-based transmit (TX) system can meet the stringent 802.16e mobile-WiMAX TX mask with 64QAM modulation and reach ∼33% peak system efficiency.
