OSC (Orthogonal Sub Channel) is an enhancement for the GSM voice traffic. It provides up to double capacity in the GSM radio interface with the same hardware compared to the previous GSM Half Rate (HR) mode. This paper investigates the effects of the OSC on the capacity utilization compared to the GSM HR as function of the OSC capable handset penetration. The variation of the radio network capacity is studied by taking into account the division of the time slot usage between HR and OSC capable terminals. The results show the achievable capacity gains in terms of reduced time slots and transceiver units with given blocking rate.
The purpose of the paper is to present a new numerical method suitable for the computation of periodic structures subjected to repeated moving loads. It directly derives from the stationary methods proposed for cylindrical and axisymmetrical structures. Its mains features are the use of a calculation reference related to the moving loads and the periodic property of the thermomechanical response. These methods are developped by PSA and the Ecole Polytechnique, in order to design vented brake discs. In this paper, a brief description of the algorithm is first given and examples of numerical simulations of a vented brake disc are treated. RÉSUMÉ. Cet article porte sur le développement d'une nouvelle méthode de résolution numérique adaptée au calcul de structures périodiques soumises à des chargements mobiles et répétés. Il s'inspire directement des méthodes stationnaires développées pour les structures cylindriques ou axisymétriques. Cette méthode repose sur les principes suivants : le repère de calcul est lié au chargement et non plus à la structure, et la réponse thermomécanique de la structure y est supposée périodique. Cette méthode a été développée par PSA Peugeot Citroën et l'Ecole Polytechnique dans le cadre du dimensionnement des disques de frein ventilés. Dans cet article, on donnera une brève description de l'algorithme puis la simulation mécanique d'un disque de frein ventilé illustrera la méthode.
