Bit-error rate simulation for frequency-hopped multiple-access systems over fading channels by Le, Thi Ngoc Anh.

“…In this report, bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift-keying (FFH/BFSK) system using diversity-combining over multiple-access interference (MAI), partial-band jamming (PBJ), additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels is presented. Five diversity-combining methods utilized in BER simulation to counter MAI and PBJ effects are square-law linear combining, product combining, hard-decision majority-vote (HDMV), self-normalizing and clipper receivers.…”

Multilateral security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region : prospects and possibilities by Ball, Desmond

“…This paper seeks to (i) describe the achievements with respect to the institutionalisation of multilateralism in the Asia-Pacific since 1992; (ii) provide a critical assessment of this progress; (iii) consider some of the principal problems affecting the process; (iv) provide some net assessment of the achievements to date and what this suggests for the future; and (v) outline and agenda for action. It acknowledges the extraordinary progress of the institutionalisation of multilateral security cooperation between 1992-97 but also sees this process and institutionalising a region-wide confidence-building process were fundamentally important achievements of the first five-year period, but they were relatively easy undertakings when compared to mroe substantive activites such as preventive diplomacy, conflict resolution or arms control.…”
