Decoding and lossy forwarding based multiple access relayingLu, P.-S. (Pen-Shun) 20 March 2015 (has links)
Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to provide a unified concept of lossy-forwarding from the theoretical analysis to practical scheme design for the decode-and-forward-based multiple access relay channel (MARC) system. To improve the performance of MARC with the relay subject to resources or/and time constraints, the erroneous estimates output from simple detection schemes are used at the relay are forwarded and exploited. A correlation is then found between two sequences: one is the network-coded sequence sent from the relay, and the other is their corresponding exclusive-OR-ed information sequence. Several joint network-channel coding (JNCC) techniques are provided in which the correlation is utilized to update the log-likelihood ratio sequences during the iterative decoding process at the destination. As a result, the bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) are improved compared with those of MARC with select DF strategy (SDF-MARC). The MARC proposed above is referred to as erroneous estimates-exploiting MARC (e-MARC).
To investigate the achieved FER performance of the e-MARC system, the outage probability for e-MARC with two source nodes is theoretically derived. We re-formulate the e-MARC system and identify its admissible rate region according to the Slepian-Wolf theorem with a helper. Then, the outage probability is obtained by a set of integral over the rate region with respect to the probability density functions of all the links' instantaneous signal-to-noise power ratios. It is found through simulations that, as one of the source nodes is far away from both the relay and destination, e-MARC is superior to SDF-MARC in terms of outage performance. Furthermore, a joint adaptive network-channel coding (JANCC) technique is then proposed to support e-MARC with more source nodes. A vector is constructed at the destination in JANCC to identify the indices of the incorrectly decoded source node(s), and re-transmitted to the relay for requesting additional redundancy. The relay performs network-coding only over the estimates specified by the vector upon receiving the request. Numerical results show that JANCC-aided e-MARC is superior to e-MARC in terms of FER and goodput efficiency. In addition, compared iterative decoding is performed at relay with SDF-MARC, the use of differential detection with JANCC-aided e-MARC significantly reduces the computational complexity and latency with only a small loss in the FER. / Tiivistelmä
Tämän väitöskirjan tarkoituksena on tuottaa yhtenäinen kokonaisuus häviöllisestä lähetyksestä pura-ja-lähetä (DF) -pohjaisessa monikäyttörelejärjestelmässä (MARC) sekä teoreettisesta että käytännöllisestä näkökulmasta. Parantaakseen resurssi- tai aikarajoitetun MARC-järjestelmän suorituskykyä, vastaanotin hyödyntää riippuvuussuhdetta releen välittämien informaatiosekvenssien virheellisten estimaattien ja suoraan lähteestä tulevien informaatiosekvenssien välillä (e-MARC). Työssä ehdotetaan useita yhdistetyn verkko -ja kanavakoodauksen menetelmiä (JNCC), joissa log-uskottavuussuhdesekvenssit iteratiivisen purkamisprosessin aikana päivitetään hyödyntämällä sekvenssien riippuvuussuhdetta vastaanottimessa. Tämän tuloksena sekä bittivirhe- että kehysvirhesuhdetta saadaan parannettua verrattuna selektiiviseen pura-ja-lähetä menetelmää käyttävään MARC-strategiaan (SDF-MARC).
Kehysvirheen suorituskyvyn tarkastelua varten työssä johdetaan teoreettinen epäkäytettävyyden todennäköisyys e-MARC-menetelmälle kahden lähettimen tapauksessa. Lisäksi e-MARC-menetelmälle määritetään tiedonsiirtonopeusalue Slepian-Wolf -teoreeman mukaisesti. Tämän jälkeen saadaan epäkäytettävyyden todennäköisyys kaikkien linkkien signaalikohinasuhteen todennäköisyystiheysfunktion integraalina tiedonsiirtonopeusalueen yli. Simulointitulokset osoittavat e-MARC-menetelmän paremman epäkäytettävyyden todennäköisyyden verrattuna SDF-MARC-menetelmään silloin kun yksi lähettimistä on kaukana sekä releestä että vastaanottimesta. Mahdollistaakseen useamman lähteen käytön e-MARC-menetelmässä, työssä ehdotetaan lisäksi adaptiivinen yhdistetyn verkko-ja kanavakoodauksen menetelmä (JANCC). Siinä vastaanotin määrittää väärin purettujen sekvenssien lähettimet ja ilmoittaa ne vektorimuodossa takaisin releelle pyytääkseen näiden lähettimien informaation uudelleenlähetystä. Tämän jälkeen rele suorittaa verkkokoodauksen vain tunnistusvektorin määrittämien informaatiosekvenssien estimaatteihin perustuen. Tulokset näyttävät, että JANCC-menetelmää käyttävä e-MARC saavuttaa paremman kehysvirheen ja hyödyllisen läpäisyn tehokkuuden verrattuna e-MARC-menetelmään.

Stability analysis of new paradigms in wireless networksKangas, M. (Maria) 02 June 2017 (has links)
Abstract
Fading in wireless channels, the limited battery energy available in wireless handsets, the changing user demands and the increasing demand for high data rate and low delay pose serious design challenges in the future generations of mobile communication systems. It is necessary to develop efficient transmission policies that adapt to changes in network conditions and achieve the target delay and rate with minimum power consumption.
In this thesis, a number of new paradigms in wireless networks are presented. Dynamic programming tools are used to provide dynamic network stabilizing resource allocation solutions for virtualized data centers with clouds, cooperative networks and heterogeneous networks. Exact dynamic programming is used to develop optimal resource allocation and topology control policies for these networks with queues and time varying channels. In addition, approximate dynamic programming is also considered to provide new sub-optimal solutions.
Unified system models and unified control problems are also provided for both secondary service provider and primary service provider cognitive networks and for conventional wireless networks. The results show that by adapting to the changes in queue lengths and channel states, the dynamic policy mitigates the effects of primary service provider and secondary service provider cognitive networks on each other.
We investigate the network stability and provide new unified stability regions for primary service provider and secondary service provider cognitive networks as well as for conventional wireless networks. The K-step Lyapunov drift is used to analyse the performance and stability of the proposed dynamic control policies, and new unified stability analysis and queuing bound are provided for both primary service provider and secondary service provider cognitive networks and for conventional wireless networks. By adapting to the changes in network conditions, the dynamic control policies are shown to stabilize the network and to minimize the bound for the average queue length. In addition, we prove that the previously proposed frame based does not minimize the bound for the average delay, when there are shared resources between the terminals with queues. / Tiivistelmä
Langattomien kanavien häipyminen, langattomien laitteiden akkujen rajallinen koko, käyttäjien käyttötarpeiden muutokset sekä lisääntyvän tiedonsiirron ja lyhyemmän viiveen vaatimukset luovat suuria haasteita tulevaisuuden langattomien verkkojen suunnitteluun. On välttämätöntä kehittää tehokkaita resurssien allokointialgoritmeja, jotka sopeutuvat verkkojen muutoksiin ja saavuttavat sekä tavoiteviiveen että tavoitedatanopeuden mahdollisimman pienellä tehon kulutuksella.
Tässä väitöskirjassa esitetään uusia paradigmoja langattomille tietoliikenneverkoille. Dynaamisen ohjelmoinnin välineitä käytetään luomaan dynaamisia verkon stabiloivia resurssien allokointiratkaisuja virtuaalisille pilvipalveludatakeskuksille, käyttäjien yhteistyöverkoille ja heterogeenisille verkoille. Tarkkoja dynaamisen ohjelmoinnin välineitä käytetään kehittämään optimaalisia resurssien allokointi ja topologian kontrollointialgoritmeja näille jonojen ja häipyvien kanavien verkoille. Tämän lisäksi, estimoituja dynaamisen ohjelmoinnin välineitä käytetään luomaan uusia alioptimaalisia ratkaisuja.
Yhtenäisiä systeemimalleja ja yhtenäisiä kontrollointiongelmia luodaan sekä toissijaisen ja ensisijaisen palvelun tuottajan kognitiivisille verkoille että tavallisille langattomille verkoille. Tulokset osoittavat että sopeutumalla jonojen pituuksien ja kanavien muutoksiin dynaaminen tekniikka vaimentaa ensisijaisen ja toissijaisen palvelun tuottajien kognitiivisten verkkojen vaikutusta toisiinsa.
Tutkimme myös verkon stabiiliutta ja luomme uusia stabiilisuusalueita sekä ensisijaisen ja toissijaisen palveluntuottajan kognitiivisille verkoille että tavallisille langattomille verkoille. K:n askeleen Lyapunovin driftiä käytetään analysoimaan dynaamisen kontrollointitekniikan suorituskykyä ja stabiiliutta. Lisäksi uusi yhtenäinen stabiiliusanalyysi ja jonon yläraja luodaan ensisijaisen ja toissijaisen palveluntuottajan kognitiivisille verkoille ja tavallisille langattomille verkoille. Dynaamisen algoritmin näytetään stabiloivan verkko ja minimoivan keskimääräisen jonon pituuden yläraja sopeutumalla verkon olosuhteiden muutoksiin. Tämän lisäksi todistamme että aiemmin esitetty frame-algoritmi ei minimoi keskimääräisen viiveen ylärajaa, kun käyttäjät jakavat keskenään resursseja.

Optimal Amplify-And-Forward Relaying For Cooperative Communications And Underlay Cognitive RadioSainath, B 04 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Relay-assisted cooperative communication exploits spatial diversity to combat wireless fading, and is an appealing technology for next generation wireless systems. Several relay cooperation protocols have been proposed in the literature. In amplify-and-forward (AF)relaying, which is the focus of this thesis, the relay amplifies the signal it receives from the source and forwards it to the destination. AF has been extensively studied in the literature on account of its simplicity since the relay does not need to decode the received signal.
We propose a novel optimal relaying policy for two-hop AF cooperative relay systems. In this, an average power-constrained relay adapts its gain and transmit power to minimize the fading-averaged symbol error probability (SEP) at the destination. Next, we consider a generalization of the above policy in which the relay operates as an underlay cognitive radio (CR). This mode of communication is relevant because it promises to address the spectrum shortage constraint. Here, the relay adapts its gain as a function of its local channel gain to the source and destination and also the primary such that the average interference it causes to the primary receiver is also constrained.
For both the above policies, we also present near-optimal, simpler relay gain adaptation policies that are easy to implement and that provide insights about the optimal policies. The SEPs and diversity order of the policies are analyzed to quantify their performance. These policies generalize the conventional fixed-power and fixed-gain AF relaying policies considered in cooperative and CR literature, and outperform them by 2.0-7.7 dB. This translates into significant energy savings at the source and relay, and motivates their use in next generation wireless systems.

Approche cross-layer pour la minimisation d’énergie dans les réseaux de capteurs sans fil / Cross-layer based energy minimization in wireless sensor networksBen Ammar, Amira 16 November 2018 (has links)
Les réseaux de capteurs sans fil (RCSF) sont des réseaux ad hoc généralement constitués d’entités autonomes miniaturisées appelés noeuds capteurs pouvant communiquer entre eux par liaison radio. Les RCSF ont suscité beaucoup d’engouement dans la recherche scientifique en raison notamment des nouveaux problèmes de routage sous forte contrainte de durée de vie du réseau et de faibles capacités des noeuds.Ce type de réseau diffère des réseaux filaires par ses caractéristiques et limitations qui ont motivé le développement d’une nouvelle approche de conception cross-layer ignorant certains paradigmes de l’approche classique permettant l’échange mutuel d’informations même entre couches non adjacentes. Cette approche qui n’est pas encore standardisée, a démontré son intérêt à travers plusieurs travaux visant un meilleur compromis entre consommation d’énergie et une certaine qualité de service.Nos contributions peuvent être classées en deux catégories suivant la stratégie de routage à savoir le routage ad-hoc et le routage suivant la technique de clustering.Dans la première partie, nous proposons une architecture cross-layer, modulaire, adaptable et extensible nommée XL-AODV (cross layer AODV) basée sur l'échange du SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) entre la couche réseau et la couche physique qui a été modélisée par la distribution K. Nous évaluons sous le simulateur NS2 les performances de notre approche XL-AODV. Une analyse comparative avec AODV, a montré pour différentes configurations de réseaux, l’efficacité de notre proposition en termes de gains énergétiques et de latence de bout en bout.Pour la deuxième partie, nous proposons une première approche XL-LEACH qui constitue une amélioration de la version originale de LEACH, en l'adaptant aux réseaux de capteurs denses et à grande échelle tout en tenant compte des caractéristiques de la couche physique modélisée par la distribution K. Dans une troisième partie, nous introduisons une amélioration de XL-LEACH par l'approche dite, XL-CLEACH (XL Cooperative LEACH) en intégrant la communication coopérative au niveau MAC. Nous avons prouvé par une étude analytique qui a été validée par les simulations, le gain apporté en termes de consommation d’énergie, de la durée de vie du réseau et du TES (Taux d'Erreur Symbol). Les architectures XL-LEACH et XL-CLEACH ont été implémentées sous MATLAB. / Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be defined as an ad hoc network consisting of miniaturized autonomous entities, called sensor nodes which communicate with each other over a radio link. WSNs is a research topic which has gained a lot of interest due, in particular, to new routing problems under low node capacity and high network lifetime constraints.WSNs differ from wired networks in their characteristics and limitations which have motivated the development of a new cross-layer design that ignores certain paradigms of the classical approach allowing the mutual exchange of information even between non-adjacent layers. This approach, which is not yet standardized, has gained a lot of attention through several works aiming to energy consumption minimization under a required QoS (Quality of Service).In this thesis, our contributions can be classified are twofold according to the considered routing strategy namely the ad-hoc routing and clustering based routing.In the first part, we propose a new adaptable and extensible cross-layer design called XL-AODV (Cross Layer AODV) based on the exchange of the SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) between the network and the physical layer which has been modelled by the K distribution.We evaluate under the NS2 simulator, the performance of XL-AODV. A comparative analysis with AODV, showed for different network configurations, the efficiency of our proposition in terms of energy saving and end-to-end latency.In the second part, we propose an XL-LEACH approach which is an improvement of the original version of LEACH by its adapting to dense and large scale sensor networks. We have also taken into account the characteristics of the physical layer modelled by the K distribution.In a third part, XL-CLEACH (XL Cooperative LEACH) approach is introduced to improve XL-LEACH by integrating the cooperative communication at the MAC layer.We have proved through an analytical study and validated by simulations, the gain in terms of energy consumption, network lifetime and SER (Symbol Error Rate). The XL-LEACH and XL-CLEACH architecture were implemented under MATLAB.

Interference Cancelling Detectors In OFDMA/MIMO/Cooperative CommunicationsSreedhar, Dheeraj 09 1900 (has links)
In this thesis, we focus on interference cancelling (IC) detectors for advanced communication systems. The contents of this thesis is divided into the following four parts:
1. Multiuser interference (MUI) cancellation in uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA).
2. Inter-carrier interference (ICI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI) cancellation in space-frequency block coded OFDM (SFBC-OFDM).
3. Single-symbol decodability (SSD) of distributed space-time block codes (DSTBC) in partially-coherent cooperative networks with amplify-and-forward protocol at the relays
4. Interference cancellation in cooperative SFBC-OFDM networks with amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols at the relays.
In uplink OFDMA systems, MUI occurs due to different carrier frequency offsets of different users at the receiver. In the first part of the thesis, we present a weighted multistage linear parallel interference cancellation approach to mitigate the effect of this MUI in uplink OFDMA. We also present a minimum mean square error (MMSE) based approach to MUI cancellation in uplink OFDMA. We present a recursion to approach the MMSE solution and show structure-wise and performance-wise comparison with other detectors in the literature.
Use of SFBC-OFDM signals is advantageous in high-mobility broadband wireless access, where the channel is highly time- as well as frequency-selective because of which the receiver experiences both ISI as well as ICI. In the second part of the thesis, we are concerned with the detection of SFBC-OFDM signals on time- and frequency-selective MIMO channels. Specifically, we propose and evaluate the performance of an interference cancelling receiver for SFBC-OFDM, which alleviates the effects of ISI and ICI in highly time- and frequency-selective channels
The benefits of MIMO techniques can be made possible to user nodes having a single transmit antenna through cooperation among different nodes. In the third part of the thesis, we derive a new set of conditions for a distributed DSTBC to be SSD for a partially-coherent relay channel (PCRC), where the relays have only the phase information of the source-to-relay channels. We also establish several properties of SSD codes for PCRC.
In the last part of the thesis, we consider cooperative SFBC-OFDM networks with AF and DF protocols at the relays. In cooperative SFBC-OFDM networks that employ DF protocol, i) ISI occurs at the destination due to violation of the `quasi-static' assumption because of the frequency selectivity of the relay-to-destination channels, and ii) ICI occurs due to imperfect carrier synchronization between the relay nodes and the destination, both of which result in error-floors in the bit error performance at the destination. We propose an interference cancellation algorithm for this system at the destination node, and show that the proposed algorithm effectively mitigates the ISI and ICI effects.

Αποδοτικές τεχνικές εκτίμησης – ισοστάθμισης γενικευμένων ασύρματων καναλιών πολλαπλών εισόδων – πολλαπλών εξόδων / Efficient channel estimation - equalization techniques for wireless MIMO systems & cooperative networksΛάλος, Αριστείδης 11 January 2011 (has links)
Τα συστήματα πολλαπλών κεραιών στον πομπό και στο δέκτη (MIMO) αποτελούν βασικά μέτωπα ανάπτυξης των ασύρματων επικοινωνιών. Ωστόσο, η εφαρμογή της τεχνολογίας MIMO στα κινητά δίκτυα επικοινωνιών αντιμετωπίζει το πρακτικό πρόβλημα της ενσωμάτωσης πολλαπλών κεραιών σε μικρά κινητά τερματικά. Με σκοπό την αντιμετώπιση του εμποδίου αυτού, δημιουργήθηκε ένα άλλο σημαντικό μέτωπο έρευνας, αυτό των συνεργατικών επικοινωνιών. Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής ασχοληθήκαμε με την ανάπτυξη και μελέτη αλγορίθμων επεξεργασίας σήματος για τα δύο παραπάνω συστήματα.
Σχετικά με τα συστήματα MIMO η πρωτοποριακή έρευνα που πραγματοποιήθηκε στα Bell labs στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ΄90, απέδειξε ότι η χρήση πολλαπλών κεραιών μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε σημαντική αύξηση της χωρητικότητας των ασύρματων συστημάτων βελτιώνοντας την αξιοπιστία της μετάδοσης. Προκειμένου να αξιοποιηθούν οι παραπάνω δυνατότητες απαιτείται η σχεδίαση σύνθετων δεκτών MIMO. Προς αυτήν την κατεύθυνση έχει στραφεί ένας μεγάλος αριθμός μεθόδων ισοστάθμισης του καναλιού και πιο συγκεκριμένα δεκτών ανατροφοδότησης αποφάσεων. Δεδομένου ότι σε ευρυζωνικά συστήματα επικοινωνιών το ασύρματο κανάλι είναι άγνωστο στο δέκτη και μεταβάλλεται χρονικά, στραφήκαμε προς τις προσαρμοστικές μεθόδους ισοστάθμισης. Στα πλαίσια της διαριβής αναζήτησαμε προσαρμοστικούς αλγόριθμους κατάλληλους για τη σχεδίαση προσαρμοστικών ισοσταθμιστών MIMO DFE με τα εξής χαρακτηριστικά: 1) να παρουσιάζουν απόδοση (ταχύτητα σύγκλισης) συγκρίσιμη με αυτή του RLS, 2) η υπολογιστική τους πολυπλοκότητα να είναι μικρότερη από αυτή του RLS και 3) να είναι αριθμητικά ευσταθείς.
΄Εχει αποδειχθεί ότι προσαρμοστικοί αλγόριθμοι που βασίζονται στη μέθοδο των συζυγών κλίσεων (conjugate gradient (CG)) πληρούν τις παραπάνω προϋποθέσεις. Αρχικά αναζητήσαμε τεχνικές που βασίζονται στη μέθοδο αυτή και χρησιμοποιούνται σε προβλήματα προσαρμοστικού φιλτραρίσματος και πιο ειδικά, στο πρόβλημα προσαρμοστικής ισοστάθμισης διαύλου στη περίπτωση SISO. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, υλοποιήσαμε έναν προσαρμοστικό αλγόριθμο στο πεδίο των συχνοτήτων που επεξεργάζεται τα δεδομένα κάθε φορά που λαμβάνεται ένα νέο εισερχόμενο πακέτο δεδομένων. Ο προτεινόμενος ισοσταθμιστής πετυχαίνει μια πολύ καλή απόδοση, ενώ οι υπολογιστικές του απαιτήσεις είναι πολύ χαμηλές.
Στη συνέχεια αναπτύξαμε τρεις νέους αλγορίθμους προσαρμοστικής ισοστάθμισης συχνοτικά επιλεκτικών συστημάτων MIMO, που βασίζονται στη μέθοδο CG και στις προβολές Galerkin. Το πρόβλημα σχεδιασμού προσαρμοστικών MIMO DFE αντιμετωπίζεται ως ένα πρόβλημα επίλυσης γραμμικών εξισώσεων, με πολλαπλά δεξιά μέλη, που εξελίσσεται στο χρόνο. Επισημαίνουμε ότι τα σχήματα που προτείνουμε θα μπορούσαν να αποτελέσουν ένα γενικότερο πλαίσιο σχεδίασης προσαρμοστικών δεκτών για συχνοτικά επιλεκτικά συστήματα MIMO, με ιδιότητες σύγκλισης παρόμοιες με αυτές του RLS, έχοντας, ωστόσο, μικρότερες υπολογιστικές απαιτήσεις.
Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής αναπτύξαμε τεχνικές εκτίμησης καναλιού για συνεργατικά δίκτυα με N αναμεταδότες που είτε ενισχύουν και αναμεταδίδουν ή αποκωδικοποιούν και αναμεταδίδουν το λαμβανόμενο σήμα. ΄Ολες οι τεχνικές εκτίμησης που προτείναμε υλοποιούνται εξ΄ ολοκλήρου στο πεδίο των συχνοτήτων. Αρχικά παρουσιάσαμε τεχνικές που βασίζονται στη μετάδοση πιλοτικών συμβόλων σε συγκεκριμένες συχνοτικές συνιστώσες. Στη συνέχεια αποδείξαμε ότι όλα τα κανάλια από την πηγή μέσω των αναμεταδοτών προς τον προορισμό μπορούν να εκτιμηθούν τυφλά εάν γνωρίζουμε τις φάσεις της απόκρισης συχνότητας του ασύρματου καναλιού μεταξύ πηγής και προορισμού.. Επιπρόσθετα, πραγματοποιήθηκε ϑεωρητική ανάλυση της απόδοσης των προτεινόμενων σχημάτων η οποία επαληθεύτηκε μέσω προσομοιώσεων σε υπολογιστή.
Τέλος, αξιολογήσαμε πειραματικά διάφορα πρωτόκολλα συνεργατικής επικοινωνίας (AF, DF, SF) και τεχνικές κατανεμημένης χωροχρονικής επεξεργασίας DSTC για συνεργατικά δίκτυα σε μια πλατφόρμα υλοποίησης πραγματικού χρόνου που χρησιμοποιεί επεξεργαστές ψηφιακής επεξεργασίας σήματος. Διαπιστώσαμε ότι τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα συμφωνούν πλήρως με τα θεωρητικά. / Systems employing multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver, known as MIMO (multiinput multioutput) systems, as well as space time coding techniques developed for such systems, are two of the main technologies employed for the evolution of wireless communications. However, the application of MIMO technology to mobile networks, often faces the practical implementation problem of having too many antennas on a small mobile terminal. In an attempt to overcome such a severe limitation, cooperative communication schemes have been proposed. This PhD dissertation, described our work on the design and analysis of signal processing algorithms for the two aforementioned systems, as is described in detail next.
Concerning MIMO systems, the pioneering work performed at Bell Labs in the middle of the nineties, proved that the use of multiple antennas can lead to a significant increase in wireless systems capacity. To exploit this potential, sophisticated MIMO receivers should be designed. To this end, a large amount of channel equalizers and, more specifically, decision feedback equalizers has been proposed. Because these assumptions are difficult to meet in high rate single carrier systems, we have focused our attention on decision feedback equalizers. . Our main goal is to derive algorithms for updating the MIMO DFE filters with the following characteristics: 1) convergence properties similar to these of the RLS 2) more computationally efficient than RLS and 3) numerically stable.
It is known that adaptive algorithms based on the CG (conjugate gradient) have the above characteristics We initially studied this method as an iterative method for solving linear equations and we pointed out the main differences with the steepest descent method, on which the LMS algorithm is based. An extended search of adaptive DFE algorithms, based on the CG method was carried out. More specifically, a new block adaptive CG algorithm was developed. In the resulting algorithm, one CG iteration per block update is executed. In order to reduce even more the complexity, the algorithm was implemented in the Frequency Domain. The proposed equalizer offers a good performance - complexity trade off.
Three new adaptive equalization algorithms for wireless systems operating over frequency selective MIMO channels, based on the CG method and the Galerkin projection method, are proposed. The problem of MIMO decision feedback equalizer (DFE) design is formulated as a set of linear equations with multiple righthand sides (RHSs) evolving in time. These schemes provide a flexible framework in MIMO adaptive equalization design to implement schemes with convergence properties comparable to the RLS, but of lower computational cost.
Furthermore, we worked on channel estimation for cooperative communication networks, where the nodes either simply amplify and forward the received signal, or they decode and transmit the signal (DF). We first propose efficient channel estimation techniques for relay networks with N relays. The new methods are implemented in the frequency domain (FD). Initially, training based techniques are presented, where the training pilots are multiplexed with the data in the frequency domain. It is then shown that all the channels in the network can be estimated blindly provided that we know the phases of the frequency response of the (Source → Destination) channel. Thus, by making use of a small number of pilots in only one link (the sourcetodestination link) we can estimate all the other channels (Source→Relay i→Destination) in the network. A theoretical performance study of the proposed algorithms is presented and closed form expressions for the mean squared channel estimation error are provided. The presented theoretical analysis is verified by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The application of the derived schemes to the DF case, and the impact of erroneous detection to their performance are also studied.
Finally, we investigated experimentally four cooperative relaying schemes: amplify and forward (AF), detect and forward (DF), cooperative maximum ratio combining (CMRC) and distributed spacetime coding (DSTC), and one novel selection relaying (SR) scheme on a realtime DSP based testbed. The experimental results are fairly close to the ones predicted by theory

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.

Performance evaluation and protocol design of fixed-rate and rateless coded relaying networksNikjah, Reza 06 1900 (has links)
The importance of cooperative relaying communication in substituting for, or complementing,
multiantenna systems is described, and a brief literature review is presented.
Amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying are investigated and
compared for a dual-hop relay channel. The optimal strategy, source and relay optimal
power allocation, and maximum cooperative gain are determined for the relay channel. It
is shown that while DF relaying is preferable to AF relaying for strong source-relay links,
AF relaying leads to more gain for strong source-destination or relay-destination links.
Superimposed and selection AF relaying are investigated for multirelay, dual-hop relaying.
Selection AF relaying is shown to be globally strictly outage suboptimal. A necessary
condition for the selection AF outage optimality, and an upper bound on the probability of
this optimality are obtained. A near-optimal power allocation scheme is derived for superimposed
AF relaying.
The maximum instantaneous rates, outage probabilities, and average capacities of multirelay,
dual-hop relaying schemes are obtained for superimposed, selection, and orthogonal
DF relaying, each with parallel channel cooperation (PCC) or repetition-based cooperation
(RC). It is observed that the PCC over RC gain can be as much as 4 dB for the outage
probabilities and 8.5 dB for the average capacities. Increasing the number of relays deteriorates
the capacity performance of orthogonal relaying, but improves the performances of
the other schemes.
The application of rateless codes to DF relaying networks is studied by investigating
three single-relay protocols, one of which is new, and three novel, low complexity multirelay
protocols for dual-hop networks. The maximum rate and minimum energy per bit and
per symbol are derived for the single-relay protocols under a peak power and an average
power constraint. The long-term average rate and energy per bit, and relay-to-source usage
ratio (RSUR), a new performance measure, are evaluated for the single-relay and multirelay
protocols. The new single-relay protocol is the most energy efficient single-relay scheme
in most cases. All the multirelay protocols exhibit near-optimal rate performances, but are
vastly different in the RSUR.
