Hence in many waveforms, some known symbols are inserted periodically into the data stream to achieve Data-Aided (DA) synchronization. However, these known symbols decrease the throughput of the transmissions. The data symbols which are unknown can also be used for synchronization, in which case it is known as Non-Data Aided (NDA) synchronization. In this paper, we present an efficient structure which is almost the same for both the DA and NDA methods,especially suitable for implementation on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). We discuss the implementation complexity and trade-offs involved in the FPGA implementation of this structure. We illustrate its utility by applying it a satellite communications waveform, popularly known as DVB-S2.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127077721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate networks where all nodes have a single-radio antenna, the MAC layer protocol is synchronized OFDM, and each channel uses TDMA. In such networks, data collisions can be avoided by reserving data time-slots. Data loss can also occur when a receiving node changes its assigned channel, hence it does not completely receive the data which is on the link. We call this type of loss data corruption. Our simulations show that if there are several available time slots to reserve, a proper channel and time-slot selection algorithm is required to prevent data corruption. Consequently, it is better that a node changes channels as infrequently as possible and any necessary change should take place at an appropriate time. The same is true about switching between receiving and sending modes, i.e. switching modes also leads to data loss, so it should be avoided whenever possible. In this study we propose a new algorithm to allocate channels and time-slots so as to decrease data loss.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116851386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This preemption capability is one of the most required features for the operation of tactical networks. And, it can be achieved by sacrificing QoSs for traditional class-based non mission-critical flows along the path for the delivery of those mission-critical data. Multilevel precedence and preemption (MLPP) has been developed for circuit-switched military networks. Since the paths to deliver data in circuit-switched networks are explicitly established, the implementation of MLPP is very simple,. However, since paths to deliver data are implicit and varying according to the changes of topologies in packet-switched and mobile ad-hoc networks, it is very difficult to implement the precedence capability. In this paper, we propose a preemptive control method to guarantee the delivery of mission-critical data in wireless mesh network (WMN)-based mobile tactical networks. To provide the preemption capability, we also propose a method to establish an explicit path in WMN environment. With the explicitly established path, cross layer-based queue management scheme at each node along the path is also proposed. The performances of the proposed method are evaluated through simulations, and the results show that the proposed method is very suitable to support preemptive mission-critical data delivery.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128210508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper considers a practical design called per user unitary and rate control (PU2RC) in order to achieve the multi-user diversity (MUDiv) for SDMA with the reasonable feedback burden. However, PU2RC/OFDMA needs to feedback the preferred precoding index and its CQIs per resource unit, chunk. Moreover, it has a defect in scheduling the streams using user grouping and is difficult to achieve MUDiv fully. In order to overcome these drawbacks, we employ transmitter controlled precoding and opportunistic feedback (TCP-OFB) in conjunction with frequency scheduling for single-user and multi-user allocation. Numerical results shows that the proposed scheme achieves comparable performance to conventional PU2RC/OFDMA with a far reduced feedback load in any user allocation and antenna correlation scenarios.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115058854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this competitive CRN, our interest is in determining optimal power and rate distribution choices for each SU while maintaining fairness in “quality of experience” across all SUs. Unlike prior approaches that focus on resource allocation based on instantaneous quality of service (QoS), our approach to fairness encompasses both current and prior history of user experience with respect to QoS. Specifically, we quantify user experience over time by introducing dynamic fairness weights for each SU in the resource allocation framework. The dynamics of the weights are governed by the Homo Egualis (HE) society model. We consider Jain system level fairness index [1] as a measure of fairness in resource allocation. Simulation results show that the weighted resource allocation scheme provide a better system level fairness index relative to the unweighted allocation scheme.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133497592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
