In particular, noncoherent receivers can be implemented with very low complexity. However, impulse radio and low duty cycle signaling involve stringent requirements on timing recovery. Standard synchronization algorithms might not be applicable due to constraints on memory capacity, clock accuracy and the sampling frequency of the receiver. Therefore, we present a scheme for burst detection and joint frame and symbol synchronization where both transmitter and receiver respect the low-duty cycle requirements. Furthermore, a subsampling analog-to-digital converter with a free running clock is assumed to meet low-power constraints. Burst detection is based on correlation with a known synchronization sequence. For symbol synchronization digital reconstruction of the symbol timing is applied, based on an FIR interpolation filter. Finally, it can be seen from performance results with real measured BAN channels that the presented synchronization algorithm is very well suited for the use in such applications.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117018613","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}

These are called redundant, because they do not increase the network capacity under normal operation, due to the shortest-path metric of the routing protocol. Instead, their sole purpose is to increase the network reliability by providing failover links when a link in the shortest-path fails. This paper shows how to estimate the additional network reliability that results from introducing a redundant node. The best location of a redundant node, i.e. where to locate the node in order to maximise the additional network reliability, can also be found.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128435968","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}

Note that AODV (ad hoc on-demand distance vector) is one of the most popular routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. Each time a route request (RREQ) message is forwarded hop by hop, each forwarding node updates the route quality which is defined as the minimum SINR of serialized links in a route and contained in the RREQ header. Compared to the conventional multipath version of AODV protocol (which is called AOMDV), CM-AODV assigns the construction of multiple paths to the destination node and makes it algorithmically simple, resulting in the improved performance of packet delivery and the less overhead incurred at intermediate nodes. Our performance study shows that CMAODV significantly outperforms AOMDV in terms of packet delivery ratio and average end-to-end delay, but results in up to 45 percent less routing overhead.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124781222","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 is the total amount of time needed to transmit a given frame, which is defined as the duration from the instant a node starts the transmission, until the instant when the transmission task effectively finishes. We are motivated by the fact that IEEE 802.11 DCF does not provide time-bounded transmissions. Thus, it is important to have an estimate of the service time because most of the times a physical connection between two nodes exists, but it is misinterpreted by the upper layers due to the long waiting time to obtain a response from a node. In this case, the estimate of the service time can be used by the upper layer protocols to solve some problems caused by IEEE 802.11, such as routing failures due to timeouts or even TCP connection failures. The congestion time in IEEE 802.11 before each (re)transmission, which is due to the random access mechanism employed in the CSMA/CA, makes it more difficult for service time to be estimated. Our approach needs only local information available at each node and considers a realistic scenario where the traffic sources may have different data generation rates (heterogeneous traffic). The applied methodology is described and we present simulation results to assess its accuracy.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129199658","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 propose a wavelet domain (WD) equalization method to improve the convergence rate and discuss its advantage over other transform domain adaptive filters. This discussion is performed on two important categories of blind equalization; the stochastic gradient descent approach and cyclostationary based approach that is used in the case of blind fractionally spaced equalization (FSE) of channels.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124200699","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 paper, we investigate the performance of VoIP on EUTRA downlink assuming that only limited channel quality feedback information is available. System level simulation results show that by increasing the CQI measurement frequency window to 2 PRBs and using average best-4 CQI reporting scheme, the achieved VoIP capacities for no packet bundling case and packet bundling case are 201 users/sector and 353 users/sector respectively with 6 control channels. Compared with the ideal CQI measurement frequency window of 1 PRB and full CQI reporting scheme, the relative loss of VoIP capacity is negligible for no bundling case and about 9% for bundling case. On the other hand, the reported CQI wordsize in uplink can be significantly decreased by 84% from 126 bits to 20 bits.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"490 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116193567","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}
