We first study the optimal power allocation between the single source node and single relay with DF (decode and forward) protocol in multihop transmission. Then under the assumption that intermediate node can adaptively select transmission scheme between DT(direct transmission) and DF , a heuristic algorithm is proposed to find a good route and allocate power efficiently for the minimum outage probability with a given power budget. Finally, our simulation results show that cooperative-multihop transmission outperforms the non-cooperative-multihop transmission, and the proposed algorithm can achieve lower outage probability compared to the equal power allocation with shortest path.","PeriodicalId":137660,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems for Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131084367","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}

Due to the weakness of this inherent frequency selectivity in OFDM modulator, it is hard to estimate the impact of this frequency selectivity in the output of modulator under the influence of circuit noise, which presents a challenge in performance evaluation of OFDM modulator. In this paper, this inherent weak frequency selectivity on modulator output signal is illustrated and analyzed and an experimental base-band model is proposed to well describe the weak frequency selectivity in OFDM modulator. Finally, this model is applied to evaluate a high performance TDS-OFDM modulator with weak frequency selectivity. After the estimation and equalization of the inherent weak frequency selectivity, the MER measure result could reflect the performance of this modulator much more precisely.","PeriodicalId":137660,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems for Communications","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130053489","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}

At the system level, we investigate the interference effects and propose an approach to estimate the inter-modulation products introduced by receiver nonlinearities. We show how we map the system-level performance requirements to circuit-level platforms through an optimization process.

Multi-path routing protocols try to use multiple simultaneous paths to transfer data messages. While it might increase the bandwidth and the delivery ratio, it also distributes the traffic load more evenly over the network. This load balance can be used to increase the lifetime of a MANET, as it will avoid using only one route for many times. This article explores the load balance technique showing that it is possible to increase the network lifetime up to 22 minutes using this technique alone. The energy consumption of a MANET unit can be split into control (59%), data (34%) and routing (7%) packets. The energy used only by the network interface card can also be separated into the energy used by sending or receiving packets, in this case approximately 89% is used to receive packets. All these values were obtained through simulations on GloMoSim, performed using real values from a Compaq WL110 network interface card connected to an HP IPAQ 3600 handheld.","PeriodicalId":137660,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems for Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117135901","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}

The popular distributed coordination function (DCF) of IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) protocol adopts a binary exponential back-off (BEB) procedure to reduce the packet collision probability in WLANs. In DCF, the size of contention window is doubled upon a collision regardless of the network loads. This paper presents an adaptive MAC scheme to improve the QoS of VoIP in WLANs. This scheme applies a threshold of the collision rate to switch between two different functions for increasing the size of contention window based on the status of network loads. The performance of this scheme is investigated and compared to the original DCF using the network simulator NS-2. The performance results reveal that the adaptive scheme is able to achieve the higher throughput and medium utilization as well as lower access delay and packet loss probability than the original DCF.","PeriodicalId":137660,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems for Communications","volume":"36 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117324752","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}

A random optimizer algorithm based on a least square error function provides digital control of the biasing circuit and the loads of the mixer. The gain and IIP3 are calibrated by regulating the current of the input differential pair and by switching the loads. IIP2 calibration is achieved by using a novel technique that consists of offset voltages cancellation in the switching pairs.
