The destination node processes together the received information from the source node and a single, selection algorithm dependent relay one (if any of the candidate relays succeeds in decoding the original OFDM packet sent). The relayed packets are the same with the direct ones (repetition coding), so that simpler receiver processing applies. The destination node employs an optimized, iterative receiver structure based on Turbo processing, in which both the channels and the clipping distortion are (iteratively) estimated. The relaying nodes receive the source-node emanating packets in a standard, non-iterative fashion, due to delay constraints. Two methods of relay node selection are considered: a) Random Relay Selection (RRS), and b) Optimal Relay Selection (ORS). High gains are showed for the proposed approach, due to the synergy between clipping distortion, channel estimation and multiple transmission paths, based on node cooperation diversity. In addition, when the number of candidate relay nodes increases, it is shown that ORS performs significantly better than RRS.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"37 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":"127796526","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 presents a service admission control solution that enables to differentiate, limit and modulate the rate by which service requests are submitted into a NGN service-provisioning platform. The solution is focused on providing a fair level of bandwidth sharing among service classes, in a configurable and dynamic way so that it can adapt the distribution by which service requests are served. To sustain the design goals of our solution, major scheduling disciplines and rate control mechanisms are here studied and compared in order to elect the more adequate components.

COBRA facilitates joint selection of physical layer parameters and video sub-stream configuration. Unlike existing methods, the COBRA model offers an efficient way of balancing losses in PSNR due to channel errors and non-transmission of some enhancements layers in a sub-stream, with a judicious mechanism of selecting sub-stream configurations and communication parameters. Simulations show that COBRA maintains video quality at acceptable levels over wide range of low channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values.

As a result, the output power from a RFPA is often limited, thus, the communication distance is compromised. With the deployment of WiMAX (IEEE 802.16), which is targeting at the mobile market, the communication distance is a concern. In this project, we propose to use Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) to adaptively control the digital modulation and the output power of a RFPA. When the AMC selects the modulation order with the coding rate to achieve the targeted BER, the output power of a RFPA can be increased as long as its Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is less than the required. Therefore, the communication distance of an OFDM system could be intelligently extended.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"5 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":"131043429","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 then present a straightforward solution of separating the frequency spectra used for receiving and transmitting signals and propose a MAC/PHY cross-layer protocol for efficiently managing the channel bandwidth for asynchronous packet-based communication. We show that, when a K-port wireless switch with each port providing 20MHz of bidirectional bandwidth, the total communication bandwidth can be increased to 1.4K×20MHz, which is about 2K times as high as a wireless access point with 20MHz per channel.

These advancements made the radio frequency spectrum a scarce resource, and consequently, its efficient use is of the ultimate importance. To cope with the growing demand, network design focused on increasing the spectral efficiency by making use of advancement in Cognitive Radio technology. Cognitive Radio can reduce the spectrum shortage problem by enabling unlicensed users equipped with Cognitive Radios to reuse and share the licensed spectrum bands. Using the fact that a Cognitive Radio is capable of sensing the environmental conditions and automatically adapting its operating parameters in order to enhance network performance, we would like to make use of its knowledge to predict the mobility of Cognitive Radio users to improve the overall performance of the Cognitive Radio network. This study makes novel use of mobility prediction techniques to enhance reliability, bandwidth efficiency and scalability of the cognitive radio networks. Firstly, prediction techniques are evaluated and compared for prediction accuracy. Secondly, routing protocol reliability, efficiency and scalability performances are evaluated under different prediction techniques. Simulation results verify the performance improvements even with moderate accuracy predictors. Results clearly show that hybrid Markov CDF prediction performs the best. When compared with no prediction it significantly improves average reliability and efficiency by 11% and 8%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"27 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":"122116215","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}

Using this scheme, each subcarrier phase is adjusted by a polynomial function of the subcarrier index. The coefficients of such polynomial function can be determined at the transmitter by a search method, and can be conveyed using existing pilot tones.

The post-processing and filtering on the estimated channel taps energy are proposed to improve the estimation performance and reduce the noise effects of primary estimation, which is caused by LS estimation at pilot data.
