Adaptive transmission for block-fading channelsNguyen, Dang Khoa January 2010 (has links)
Multipath propagation and mobility in wireless communication systems give rise to variations in the amplitude and phase of the transmitted signal, commonly referred to as fading. Many wireless applications are affected by slowly varying fading, where the channel is non-ergodic, leading to non-reliable transmission during bad channel realizations. These communication scenarios are well modeled by the block-fading channel, where the reliability is quantatively characterized by the outage probability. This thesis focuses on the analysis and design of adaptive transmission schemes to improve the outage performance of both single- and multiple-antenna transmission over the block-fading channel, especially for the cases where discrete input constellations are used. Firstly, a new lower bound on the outage probability of non-adaptive transmission is proposed, providing an efficient tool for evaluating the performance of non-adaptive transmission. The lower bound, together with its asymptotic analysis, is essential for efficiently designing the adaptive transmission schemes considered in the thesis. Secondly, new power allocation rules are derived to minimize the outage probability of fixed-rate transmission over block-fading channels. Asymptotic outage analysis for the resulting schemes is performed, revealing important system design criteria. Furthermore, the thesis proposes novel suboptimal power allocation rules, which enjoy low-complexity while suffering minimal losses as compared to the optimal solution. Thus, these schemes facilitate power adaptation in low-cost devices. Thirdly, the thesis considers incremental-redundancy automatic-repeat-request (INR-ARQ) strategies, which perform adaptive transmission based on receiver feedback. In particular, the thesis concentrates on multi-bit feedback, which has been shown to yield significant gains in performance compared to conventional single-bit ARQ schemes. The thesis proposes a new information-theoretic framework for multi-bit feedback INR-ARQ, whereby the receiver feeds back a quantized version of the accumulated mutual information. Within this framework, the thesis presents an asymptotic analysis which yields the large gains in outage performance offered by multi-bit feedback. Furthermore, the thesis proposes practical design rules, which further illustrates the benefits of multi-bit feedback in INR-ARQ systems. In short, the thesis studies the outage performance of transmission over block-fading channels. Outage analysis is performed for non-adaptive and adaptive transmission. Improvements for the existing adaptive schemes are also proposed, leading to either lower complexity requirements or better outage performance. Still, further research is needed to bring the benefits offered by adaptive transmission into practical systems. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2010

Architectures and Protocols for Performance Improvements of Real-Time NetworksKunert, Kristina January 2010 (has links)
When designing architectures and protocols for data traffic requiring real-time services, one of the major design goals is to guarantee that traffic deadlines can be met. However, many real-time applications also have additional requirements such as high throughput, high reliability, or energy efficiency. High-performance embedded systems communicating heterogeneous traffic with high bandwidth and strict timing requirements are in need of more efficient communication solutions, while wireless industrial applications, communicating control data, require support of reliability and guarantees of real-time predictability at the same time. To meet the requirements of high-performance embedded systems, this thesis work proposes two multi-wavelength high-speed passive optical networks. To enable reliable wireless industrial communications, a framework incorporating carefully scheduled retransmissions is developed. All solutions are based on a single-hop star topology, predictable Medium Access Control algorithms and Earliest Deadline First scheduling, centrally controlled by a master node. Further, real-time schedulability analysis is used as admission control policy to provide delay guarantees for hard real-time traffic. For high-performance embedded systems an optical star network with an Arrayed Waveguide Grating placed in the centre is suggested. The design combines spatial wavelength reuse with fixed-tuned and tuneable transceivers in the end nodes, enabling simultaneous transmission of both control and data traffic. This, in turn, permits efficient support of heterogeneous traffic with both hard and soft real-time constraints. By analyzing traffic dependencies in this multichannel network, and adapting the real-time schedulability analysis to incorporate these traffic dependencies, a considerable increase of the possible guaranteed throughput for hard real-time traffic can be obtained. Most industrial applications require using existing standards such as IEEE 802.11 or IEEE 802.15.4 for interoperability and cost efficiency. However, these standards do not provide predictable channel access, and thus real-time guarantees cannot be given. A framework is therefore developed, combining transport layer retransmissions with real-time analysis admission control, which has been adapted to consider retransmissions. It can be placed on top of many underlying communication technologies, exemplified in our work by the two aforementioned wireless standards. To enable a higher data rate than pure IEEE 802.15.4, but still maintaining its energy saving properties, two multichannel network architectures based on IEEE 802.15.4 and encompassing the framework are designed. The proposed architectures are evaluated in terms of reliability, utilization, delay, complexity, scalability and energy efficiency and it is concluded that performance is enhanced through redundancy in the time and frequency domains.

Adaptive Resource Allocation for Statistical QoS Provisioning in Mobile Wireless Communications and NetworksDu, Qinghe 2010 December 1900 (has links)
Due to the highly-varying wireless channels over time, frequency, and space
domains, statistical QoS provisioning, instead of deterministic QoS guarantees, has
become a recognized feature in the next-generation wireless networks. In this dissertation,
we study the adaptive wireless resource allocation problems for statistical QoS
provisioning, such as guaranteeing the specified delay-bound violation probability,
upper-bounding the average loss-rate, optimizing the average goodput/throughput,
etc., in several typical types of mobile wireless networks.
In the first part of this dissertation, we study the statistical QoS provisioning for
mobile multicast through the adaptive resource allocations, where different multicast
receivers attempt to receive the common messages from a single base-station sender
over broadcast fading channels. Because of the heterogeneous fading across different
multicast receivers, both instantaneously and statistically, how to design the efficient
adaptive rate control and resource allocation for wireless multicast is a widely cited
open problem. We first study the time-sharing based goodput-optimization problem
for non-realtime multicast services. Then, to more comprehensively characterize the
QoS provisioning problems for mobile multicast with diverse QoS requirements, we
further integrate the statistical delay-QoS control techniques — effective capacity
theory, statistical loss-rate control, and information theory to propose a QoS-driven
optimization framework. Applying this framework and solving for the corresponding optimization problem, we identify the optimal tradeoff among statistical delay-QoS
requirements, sustainable traffic load, and the average loss rate through the adaptive
resource allocations and queue management. Furthermore, we study the adaptive
resource allocation problems for multi-layer video multicast to satisfy diverse statistical
delay and loss QoS requirements over different video layers. In addition,
we derive the efficient adaptive erasure-correction coding scheme for the packet-level
multicast, where the erasure-correction code is dynamically constructed based on multicast
receivers’ packet-loss statuses, to achieve high error-control efficiency in mobile
multicast networks.
In the second part of this dissertation, we design the adaptive resource allocation
schemes for QoS provisioning in unicast based wireless networks, with emphasis
on statistical delay-QoS guarantees. First, we develop the QoS-driven time-slot and
power allocation schemes for multi-user downlink transmissions (with independent
messages) in cellular networks to maximize the delay-QoS-constrained sum system
throughput. Second, we propose the delay-QoS-aware base-station selection schemes
in distributed multiple-input-multiple-output systems. Third, we study the queueaware
spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks for statistical delay-QoS provisioning.
Analyses and simulations are presented to show the advantages of our proposed
schemes and the impact of delay-QoS requirements on adaptive resource allocations
in various environments.

Cooperative Communication and QoS in Infrastructure WLANsNischal, S January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs operating in the infrastructure mode are extremely popular and have seen widespread deployment because of their convenience and cost efficiency. A large number of research studies have investigated the performance of DCF, the default MAC protocol in 802.11 WLANs. Previous studies have pointed out several performance problems caused by the interaction of DCF in infrastructure-based WLANs. This thesis addresses a few of these issues.
In the first part of the thesis, we address the issue of head-of-line (HOL) blocking at the Access Point (AP) in infrastructure WLANs. We use a cooperative ARQ scheme to resolve the obstruction at the AP queue. We analytically study the performance of our scheme in a single cell IEEE 802.11 infrastructure WLAN under a TCP controlled file download scenario and validate our analysis by extensive simulations. Both analysis and simulation results show considerable increase in system throughput with the cooperative ARQ scheme. We further examine the delay performance of the ARQ scheme in the presence of both elastic TCP traffic and delay sensitive VoIP traffic. Simulations results show that our scheme decreases the delay in the downlink for VoIP packets significantly while simultaneously providing considerable gains in the TCP download throughput.
Next, we propose a joint uplink/downlink opportunistic scheduling scheme for maximising system throughput in infrastructure WLANs. We first solve the uplink/downlink unfairness that exists in infrastructure WLANs by maintaining a separate queue and a backoff timer at the AP for each mobile station (STA). We also increase the system throughput by making the backoff timer a function of the channel gains. We analyse the I performance of our scheme under symmetric UDP traffic with i. i. d. channel conditions.
Finally, we discuss several opportunistic scheduling policies which aim to increase the system throughput while satisfying certain Quality of Service (QoS) objectives. The standard IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol only offers best-effort services and does not provide any QoS guarantees. Providing QoS in 802.11 networks with time varying channel conditions has proven to be a challenge. We show by simulations that by an appropriate choice of the scheduling metric in our opportunistic scheduling scheme, different QOS objectives like maximizing weighted system sum throughput, minimum rate guarantees and throughput optimality can be attained.
