You know you're in a bad hotel when . . . Houston resort's service failure posted on Net for all to see Jill Vardy Financial Post OTTAWA - Management at a Houston hotel has been flamed from five continents after a Powerpoint presentation from two disgruntled guests of the hotel became one the hottest pages on the Internet. The file, entitled "You Have a Very Bad Hotel", has been e-mailed to tens of thousands of people around the world. It is what the authors call "a graphic complaint" prepared for the managers of the DoubleTree Club Hotel in Houston. In it, businessmen Tom Farmer and Shane Atchison, of Seattle, lay out in excruciating detail their failure to get a reserved room at the hotel in the early hours of Nov. 15. The pair say their room was guaranteed for late arrival with a major credit card, but when they arrived at the hotel, no room was available. The presentation contains quotes from the insolent desk clerk, dubbed "Night Clerk Mike," a dictionary definition of the word "guarantee", a chart plotting Night Clerk Mike's career, and a table that illustrates the likelihood of the two returning to the Houston hotel (slightly below the chance of Earth being ejected from the solar system by the gravitational pull of a passing star). snip nationalpost.com craphound.com

"..Async WCDMA has to use much wider search windows to find the other base stations.." ---------- <snip> Basically the chip rate of WCDMA is 3.125 times as IS-95 CDMA (that is, 3.84/1.2288). So the basic uplink handover search window of WCDMA should be almost 3 times than IS-95 based systems. As stated in the previous page, typical uplink handover search window for IS-95 base system is 60~80 chips. So the one for WCDMA may be 187.5~250 chips. This is only based on the assumption that the network can estimate the round trip delay between UE and target BS before the handover execution. Unfortunately in the WCDMA, it is basically impossible to estimate the round trip delay so that the uplink handover search window should be the sum of maximum round trip delay and delay spread [2]. If we assume the coverage of target cell is 10 km, then the uplink handover search window for that cell should be 300~400 chips. And if we assume the coverage of the cell as 40 km, then the search window should be larger than 1000 chips. Message 15980502
