First, we proved that the - Columnwise Complementary codes is better than - Columnwise Complementary code in time selective channel by explaining the probability of happening MAI elimination in frequency domain and proposing a method to use - Columnwise Complementary codes in one cell. Furthermore, we proposed the method to increase the capability of resisting of frequency selective fading channel without decreasing the capability of resisting of time selective fading channel. Finally, we showed some simulation results about receiver velocity and MAI elimination in frequency domain.

Dans cette thèse, le compromis entre la consommation d'énergie et le délai dans les réseaux de capteurs sans fil est étudié en exploitant efficacement les liens non fiables. Nous proposons une métrique de l'efficacité énergétique et une métrique de délai moyenne qui sont combinés avec le modèle de lien radio à erreur. En utilisant ces deux métriques et un modèle réaliste de lien radio, nous déduisons la limite inférieure et le front de Pareto du compromis Energie-Délai sont calculés pour trois types de systèmes de communication: la communication multi-saut traditionnelle, la communication opportuniste et la communication coopérative MIMO (CMIMO) dans trois différents canaux: le canal a bruit additif blanc Gaussien, le canal a évanouissements rapides de Rayleigh et le canal a évanouissement de Rayleigh par blocs. Les expressions de ces limites faibles sont obtenues et vérifiées par des simulations bidimensionnelles de réseaux de capteurs distribués aléatoirement. Sur la base de l'expression de la borne inférieure du compromis Energie-Délai, un cadre multi-couche est fourni pour optimiser les paramètres des couches physique, MAC et routage sous contrainte de délai. Les résultats obtenus montrent que pour parvenir à une meilleure performance Energie-Délai, les mécanismes de communication suivants devraient être adoptés selon le type de canal : les communications multi-saut traditionnelles sont les plus performantes pour le canal à bruit additif blanc Gaussien, alors que les communications opportunistes le sont pour les canaux à évanouissements de Rayleigh par blocs et enfin le CMIMO pour les canaux à évanouissements rapides de Rayleigh.

This RF emulator has been developed with the use of electronic circuits between them, and the presence of an attenuator which can be controlled by software and another one controlled by a power supply. The performance and characterization of the emulator has been done with some tests of video streaming links. The essential purpose is to present a simple and efficient approach to implement a testbed emulation of flat fast fading that can allow the RF signal to be confined inside a coaxial cable, where there is a controlled ambient whose permits to investigate the performance over all wireless networks. We perform also in this work some comparison to evaluate the behavior of both the 802.11b and 802.11g standards in flat fast fading channel through a video transmission and a further analysis of the jitter in many different power levels of the signal by assuming that the emulator has a perfect control of the system. / An?lise comparativa do desempenho das redes locais sem fio (WLANs), padr?o IEEE 802.11b e 802.11g, na transmiss?o de fluxo cont?nuo de v?deo, tamb?m conhecido como streaming de v?deo, simulando caracter?sticas de uma transmiss?o de v?deo em formato IPTV, com o intuito de identificar qual dos dois padr?es tem melhor desempenho na transmiss?o desse tipo de tr?fego. Esse trabalho foi motivado pela necessidade de implanta??o da segunda fase do projeto Exibe da TV PUC Campinas, que prev? a distribui??o da programa??o do canal universit?rio, em formato IPTV, atrav?s de redes IP sem fio. Para simula??o desse sistema de distribui??o de v?deo, foram feitas an?lises das caracter?sticas de distribui??o, transmiss?o e formatos do v?deo transmitido. As transmiss?es foram realizadas com o uso de um emulador de R?dio Freq??ncia que disp?e de dois atenuadores, um controlado por software e outro por uma fonte de tens?o. O emulador pode proporcionar um ambiente controlado, onde todas as transmiss?es puderam ser realizadas utilizando os dois padr?es de rede, garantindo uma correta identifica??o do canal, controle das atenua??es e acompanhamento dos fen?menos de propaga??o.

The increasing demand for high data rate transmission over broadband radio channels has imposed significant challenges in wireless communications. Accurate channel estimation has a major impact on the whole system performance. Specifically, reliable estimate of the channel state information (CSI) is more challenging for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in doubly selective fading channels than for the slower fading channels over which OFDM has been deployed traditionally. With the help of a basis expansion model (BEM), a novel multivariate autoregressive (AR) process is developed to model the time evolution of the fast fading channel. Relying on pilot symbol aided modulation (PSAM), a novel Kalman smoothing algorithm based on a second-order dynamic model is exploited, where the mean square error (MSE) of the channel estimator is near to that of the optimal Wiener filter. To further improve the performance of channel estimation, a novel low-complexity iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection procedure is developed for fast fading channels with a small number of pilots and low pilot power to achieve the bit error rate (BER) performance close to when the CSI is known perfectly. The new channel estimation symbol detection technique is robust to variations of the radio channel from the design values and applicable to multiple modulation and coding types. By use of the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart, we investigate the convergence behavior of the new algorithm and analyze the modulation, pilot density, and error correction code selection for good system performance for a given power level. The algorithms developed in this thesis improve the performance of the whole system requiring only low ratios of pilot to data for excellent performance in fast fading channels. / Graduate

Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) is a new wireless technology designed to support cellular networks with wide coverage for a massive number of very cheap low power user devices. Studies have been initiated for deployment of NB-IoT in unlicensed frequency bands, some of which demand the use of a frequency-hopping scheme with a short channel dwell time. In order for a device to connect to a cell, it must synchronize well within the dwell time in order to decode the frequency-hopping pattern. Due to the significant path loss, the narrow bandwidth and the device characteristics, decreasing the synchronization time is a challenge. This thesis studies different methods to decrease the synchronization time for NB-IoT without increasing the demands on the user device. The study shows how artificial fast fading can be combined with denser reference signalling in order to achieve improvements to the cell acquisition and synchronization procedure sufficient for enabling unlicensed operation of NB-IoT. / Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) är en ny trådlös teknik som är designad för att hantera mobilnät med vidsträckt täckning för ett massivt antal mycket billiga och strömsnåla användarenheter. Studier har inletts för att operera NB-IoT i olicensierade frekvensband, varav några kräver att frekvenshoppande spridningsspektrum, med kort uppehållstid per kanal, används. För att en användarenhet ska kunna ansluta till en basstation måste den slutföra synkronisingsfasen inom uppehållstiden, så att basstationens hoppmönster kan avkodas. På grund utav den stora signalförsvagningen, den smala bandbredden och användarenhetens egenskaper är det en stor utmaning att förkorta synkroniseringstiden. Detta examensarbete studerar olika metoder för att förkorta synkroniseringstiden i NB-IoT utan att öka kraven på användarenheten. Arbetet visar att artificiell snabb-fädning kan kombineras med tätare referenssignalering för att uppnå förbättringar i synkroniseringsprocessen som är tillräckliga för att möjliggöra operation av NB-IoT i olicensierade frekvensband.

While the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has been explored in considerable detail, virtually all literature on this topic ignores electromagnetic considerations. This dissertation explores electromagnetic effects on the capacity performance of these multi-antenna architectures. Specifically, it examines the impact of superdirectivity for compact antenna arrays, the effect of antenna mutual coupling, and MIMO performance of multi-mode optical fiber with non-linear detection. Superdirectivity can lead to abnormally large capacity bounds in a MIMO communication system, especially when the antennas are placed close together. Because superdirective behavior is difficult to achieve in practice, this work formulates an approach for limiting the impact of superdirectivity by introducing finite ohmic loss into the capacity expressions. Results show that even a small amount of ohmic loss significantly affects the achievable system capacity and suppresses superdirective solutions. This formulation allows a more detailed examination of the capacity of MIMO systems for compact arrays. For channels which do not vary in time, placing antennas closer together generally reduces the system capacity. However, recent work has demonstrated that for a MIMO system operating in a fast fading environment where the transmitter and receiver know the channel covariance information, the capacity increases as antennas are placed near each other due to an increase in spatial correlation. Analysis of this behavior illustrates that when these capacity gains (due to closely spaced antennas) are observed the radiated power is also increased. Constraining the radiated power leads to superdirective solutions in which the ohmic loss constraint developed must be used to properly determine the capacity behavior of this system. Application of this constraint then leads to an optimum antenna spacing in contrast to the findings of previous research which indicate that antennas should be as close together as possible. Additionally, this section provides an analysis regarding the number of spatial modes that can be used for various system configurations. Recent research has shown that it is possible for MIMO communication techniques to be used with multimode optical fibers to increase the available distance-bandwidth. However, implementation of traditional MIMO schemes requires the use of coherent optical detection which can lead to high system complexity and cost. This dissertation proposes a multimode fiber MIMO system architecture which allows simultaneous transmission of unique streams to different users on the same fiber while using incoherent detection with amplitude and phase modulation at the transmitter. The resulting capacity scales nearly linearly with the number of transmitters and receivers. Because the architecture requires channel state information at the transmitter, a training scheme appropriate for use with optical intensity detection is also discussed.
