Definitions, Abbreviations,<strong>and</strong> SymbolsDefinitionsAdaptive antenna system (AAS): a system adaptively exploiting more than one antennato improve the coverage <strong>and</strong> the system capacity.Adaptive coding <strong>and</strong> modulation (ACM): a transmitter switching automatically themodulation constellation <strong>and</strong> the FEC coding rate in order to adapt them to the instantaneouschannel conditions (e.g. weather or fading) for improving the system capacity.Adjacent channel interference (ACI): interference emanating from the use of adjacentchannels in a given coverage area, e.g. dense cellular system.Asynchronous: users transmitting their signals without time constraints.Base station (BS): equipment consisting of a base station controller (BSC) <strong>and</strong> severalbase station transceivers (BST).Burst: transmission event consisting of a symbol sequence (preamble <strong>and</strong> the datasymbols).Cell: geographical area controlled by a base station. A cell can be split into sectors.Co-channel interference (CCI): interference emanating from the re-use of the samefrequency b<strong>and</strong> in a given coverage area, e.g. dense cellular system.DC subcarrier: in an <strong>OFDM</strong> or <strong>OFDM</strong>A signal, the subcarrier whose frequency wouldbe equal to the RF center frequency of the station.Detection: operation for signal detection in the receiver. In a multi-user environment asingle-user (SD) or multi-user (MD) detection can be used. The multi-user detectionrequires the knowledge of the signal characteristics of all active users.Single-user detection techniques for <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA: MRC, EGC, ZF, MMSE.<strong>Multi</strong>-user detection techniques for <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA: MLSE, MLSSE, IC, JD.<strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Carrier</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Second Edition K.
