Block-Based Equalization Using Nonorthogonal Projector with Bayesian Decision Feedback Equalizer for CP-OFDM SystemsHsieh, Chih-nung 07 August 2006 (has links)
All digital communication channels are subject to inter-symbol interference (ISI). To achieve the desired system performance, at receiver end, the effect of ISI must be compensated and the task of the equalizer is to combat the degrading effects of ISI on the transmission. Due to the demand of high data transmission rate, the multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique implemented with the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted in many modern communications systems for block transmission. In block transmission systems, transmitter-included redundancy using finite-impulse response (FIR) filterbanks can be utilized to suppress inter-block-interference (IBI). However, the length of redundancy will affect the system performance, which is highly dependent on the length of channel impulse response. To deal with the effect of ISI, many equalizing schemes have been proposed, among them the FIR zero-forcing (ZF) equalizer with the non-orthogonal projector provides a useful transceiver design structure for suppressing the IBI and ISI, simultaneously.
In this thesis, we propose a new equalizing scheme; it combines the FIR-ZF equalizer with non-orthogonal projector as well as the Bayesian decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for IBI and ISI suppression. The Bayesian DFE is known to be one of the best schemes to achieve the desired performance for eliminating ISI. It can be employed to achieve the full potential of symbol-by-symbol equalizer. That is, after removing the effect of IBI with the non-orthogonal projector, the Bayesian DFE is employed for eliminating the ISI, simultaneously. For comparison, the system performance, in term of bit error rate (BER) is investigated, and compared with the minimum mean square error (MMSE)-IBI-DFE. The advantage of the new proposed equalizing scheme is verified via computer simulation under condition of insufficient redundancy.

Underwater Channel Modeling For Sonar ApplicationsEpcacan, Erdal 01 February 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Underwater acoustic channel models have been studied in the context of communication and
sonar applications. Acoustic propagation channel in an underwater environment exhibits multipath,
time-variability and Doppler eects. In this thesis, multipath fading channel models,
underwater physical properties and sound propagation characteristics are studied. An underwater
channel model for sonar applications is proposed. In the proposed model, the physical
characteristics of underwater environment are considered in a comprehensive manner. Experiments
/simulations were carried out using real-life data. Model parameters are estimated for a
specific location, scenario and physical conditions. The channel response is approximated by
fitting the model output to the recorded data. The optimization and estimation are conducted
in frequency domain using Mean Square Error criterion.

Analysis of coded OFDM system over frequency-selective fading channelsZheng, Jun 15 November 2004 (has links)
This thesis considers the analysis of system performance and resource allocation for a coded OFDM system over frequency selective fading channels. Due to the inseparable role taken by channel coding in a coded OFDM system, an information theoretical analysis is carried out and taken as the basis for the system performance and throughput.
Based on the results of the information theoretical analysis, the optimal system BER performance of a coded OFDM system is first shown to converge to the outage probability for large OFDM block lengths. Instead of evaluating the outage probability numerically, we provide in this thesis a simple analytical closed form approximation of the outage probability for a coded OFDM system over frequency selective quasi-static fading channels. Simulation results of the turbo-coded OFDM systems further confirm the approximation of the outage probability.
By taking the instantaneous channel capacity as the analytical building block, system throughput of a coded OFDM system is then provided. With the aim to compare the performance difference between adaptive and uniform resource allocation strategies, the system throughput of different allocation schemes under various channel conditions is analyzed. First, it is demonstrated that adaptive power allocation over
OFDM sub-carriers at the transmitter achieves very little gain in terms of throughput over a uniform power distribution scheme. Theoretical analysis is then provided of the throughput increase of adaptive-rate schemes compared with fixed-rate schemes under various situations. Two practical OFDM systems implementing rate-compatible-punctured-turbo-code-based (RCPT-based) hybrid automatic-repeat-request (Hybrid-ARQ) and redundancy incremental Hybrid-ARQ protocols are also provided to verify the analytical results.

Stochastic modeling of cooperative wireless multi-hop networksHassan, Syed Ali 18 October 2011 (has links)
Multi-hop wireless transmission, where radios forward the message of other radios, is becoming popular both in cellular as well as sensor networks.
This research is concerned with the statistical modeling of multi-hop wireless networks that do cooperative transmission (CT). CT is a physical layer wireless
communication scheme in which spatially separated wireless nodes collaborate to form a virtual array antenna for the
purpose of increased reliability. The dissertation has two major parts. The first part addresses a special form of CT known as the Opportunistic Large Array (OLA). The second part addresses the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation for the purpose of recruiting nodes for CT.
In an OLA transmission, the nodes from one level transmit the message signal concurrently without any coordination with each other, thereby producing transmit diversity. The receiving layer of nodes receives the message signal and repeats the process using the decode-and-forward cooperative protocol. The key contribution of this research is to model the transmissions that hop from one layer of nodes to another under the effects of channel variations, carrier frequency offsets, and path loss. It has been shown for a one-dimensional network that the successive transmission process can be modeled as a quasi-stationary Markov chain in discrete time. By studying various properties of the Markov chain, the system parameters, for instance, the transmit power of relays and distance between them can be optimized. This optimization is used to improve the performance of the system in terms of maximum throughput, range extensions, and minimum delays while delivering the data to the destination node using the multi-hop wireless communication system.
A major problem for network sustainability, especially in battery-assisted networks, is that the batteries are drained pretty quickly during the operation of the network. However, in dense sensor networks, this problem can be alleviated by using a subset of nodes which take part in CT, thereby saving the network energy. SNR is an important parameter in determining which nodes to participate in CT. The more distant nodes from the source having least SNR are most suitable to transmit the message to next level. However, practical real-time SNR estimators are required to do this job. Therefore, another key contribution of this research is the design of optimal SNR estimators for synchronized as well as non-synchronized receivers, which can work with both the symbol-by-symbol Rayleigh fading channels as well as slow flat fading channels in a wireless medium.

Analysis of OSTBC in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks using 2-hop DF Relaying ProtocolTahseen, Muhammad Mustafa, Khan, MatiUllah, Ullah, Farhan January 2011 (has links)
To achieve cooperative diversity in cognitive radio network, Decode and Forward (DF) protocol is implemented at Cognitive Radios (CRs) using Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding (OSTBC). The 2-hop communication between source and destination is completed with the help of Cognitive Relays (CRs) using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology within the network. To achieve spatial diversity and good code rate Alamouti 2×2 STBC is used for transmission. CR is using the decoding (Decode and Forward (DF)) strategy and without amplifying ability before forwarding data towards destination provide better performance. The main objective of this thesis is to detect Primary User (PU) spectrum availability or non-availability for the use of Secondary Users (SU). The Alamouti STBC encoded data is broadcasted to wireless Rayleigh faded channel through transmitter having two transmitting antennas. The CRs are preferred to place close with PU to detect transmitted signal and because of having decoding capability CRs decode the collected data using Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding technique then re-encode the decoded data for further transmission towards receiver. The energy of PU signal received at relays is calculated using energy detector used at cognitive controller having authority to make final decision about presence or absence of PU signal within the spectrum by comparing calculated energy of PU received signal with a predefined value. If the calculated signal energy is less than threshold value it is pretended as the absence of PU and in the other case spectrum is assumed as occupied by PU. Decoding PU signal at relays before forwarding towards destination provide better performance in terms of detection probability and decreasing probability of false alarming as the Signal to Noise (SNR) increases. The proposed cooperative spectrum sensing using DF protocol at cognitive relays with Alamouti STBC is implemented and results are validated by MATLAB simulation. / +46 455 38 50 00

Applying OSTBC in Cooperative Cognitive Radio NetworksShahzad, Hamid, Botchu, Jaishankar January 2010 (has links)
In this report, we introduce cooperative spectrum sensing using orthogonal space time block coding (OSTBC) in order to achieve cooperative diversity in the cognitive radios (CRs) network. Transmit diversity or gain is achieved by introducing more than one antenna on the transmitter and receiver side, but in small electronic mobile devices it looks impractical. The signals received from the primary users (PUs) are amplified by the cognitive relays and further forwarded to the cognitive controller where decisions are made on the basis of the information collected from each cognitive relay. The cooperative relaying protocol used here in cognitive relays is based on an amplifying-forward (AF) scheme. Alamouti scheme in OSTBC has been proposed to achieve better detection performance in CR network. The energy detector performance is analyzed over an independent Rayleigh fading channel. In CR network the secondary user (SU) shares PU's frequency band if it fi nds PU is not in its vicinity. The SU starts using the licensed band and leaves the band as soon as it finds the PU is present or going to use the same band. The detection of the spectrum holes by CRs has to be more agile and intelligent. The main objective of the CRs network is to use the free holes without causing any interference to the PUs. The energy detection technique is simple and outperforms other sensing techniques in cooperative cognitive radio networks. The energy detector collects information from different users, compares it with a certain prede fined threshold () value and then makes a fi nal decision. Detection and false alarm probabilities are derived and manipulated using OSTBC on PU and SU through AF protocol in cooperative communication. The performance of the system is analyzed with single and multiple relays and with and without direct path between the PUs and SUs. Maximum ratio (MRC) and selection combining (SC) schemes are used in energy detector and the results are compared with and without direct link between PU and SU. The analysis is performed by placing the relay close to the PUs. Our results are processed and validated by computer simulation.

Performance Analysis of 3-hop using DAF and DF over 2-hop Relaying ProtocolsMehmood, Faisal, Ejaz, Muneeb January 2013 (has links)
In wireless Communication, the need of radio spectrum increases nowadays. But in the system we are losing approximately 82-86% of spectrum most of the time due to the absence of Primary User (PU). To overcome this issue Cognitive Radio (CR) is an admirable approach. The concept of cooperative communication needs to be considering because high data rate is the demand for wireless services. Cooperative diversity in the network realized by 3-hop Decode, Amplify and Forward (DAF) and Decode and Forward (DF) and in 2-hop DF and Amplify and Forward (AF) Protocols implemented in cognitive radio communication network using Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding (OSTBC). The communication between end points is accomplished by using Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna arrangement. During the Propagation, Alamouti Space Time Block Coding is used to accomplish spatial diversity and the encoded data is transmitted through Rayleigh fading channel. CR decodes the transmitted signal using Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding method. Afterward signal broadcast toward the destination. To check the energy level of signal, energy detection technique applies at the Cognitive Controller (CC). Finally, CC will take ultimate decision for the presence of primary user if the energy level of signal is greater than predefined threshold level, it means PU is present otherwise it is absent. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the performance of 3-hop and 2-hop communication network using relays. The performance is compared on the bases of two parameters i.e. Bit Error Rate (BER) and Probability of Detection (PD). The results are processed and validated by MATLAB simulation.

On the capacity of multi-terminal systems : the interference and fading broadcast channelsJafarian, Amin 12 October 2012 (has links)
A central feature of wireless networks is multiple users sharing a common medium. Cellular systems are among the most common examples of such networks. The main phenomenon resulting from this inter-user interaction is interference, and thus analyzing interference networks is critical to determine the capacity of wireless networks. The capacity region of an interference network is defined as the set of rates that the users can simultaneously achieve while ensuring arbitrarily small probability of decoding error. It is an inherently hard problem to find the capacity region of interference networks. Even the capacity region of a general 2-user interference channel is a prominent open
problem in information theory. This work's goal is to derive achievable regions that are improved over known results, and when possible, capacity theorems,
for K user interference networks.
Another multiuser channel that is commonly found in wireless systems is a broadcast channel. Broadcast channels stand side by side with Interference channels as the two of the most important channels for which capacity results are still not completely known. In this work we develop inner and outer bounds on the capacity region of fading broadcast channels, using which we find a part of the capacity region under some conditions.
In summary, this work first presents coding arguments for new achievable rate regions and, where possible, capacity results for K-user interference networks. Second, it provides inner and outer-bounds for a class of fading broadcast channels. / text
