Traditionally, the interference is treated as an additional source of noise, recent advances in information theory show that interference is not necessarily an opponent, but might be decoded and cancelled to obtain a larger capacity region. In this paper, a sparse code multiple access (SCMA) based uplink ICI cancellation technique is proposed to enhance the performance of the cell-edge users by jointly decoding the desired signal and the interference signal at the base stations. Unlike the orthogonal transmission schemes such as fractional frequency reuse in 4G, the proposed non-orthogonal SCMA-based scheme allows several cell-edge users to share the same time-frequency resource blocks (RBs). The sparse codewords are designed to make each user spread its data on a small set of RBs to achieve frequency and interference diversity, and make the near-optimal detection feasible with moderate complexity through iterative message passing algorithm (MPA). Then an open-loop MIMO transmission scheme which combines SCMA with Alamouti code is proposed to achieve full space-time-frequency diversity. Simulation results show that when there is no correlation among resource blocks and the antenna configuration is 1×1, the proposed SCMA-based scheme has about 2dB gain for uplink cell-edge users in multi-cell scenario compared with the FFR-based ICI coordination scheme in LTE networks. The gain becomes larger when combined with the existing MIMO technique. In addition, the SCMA-based scheme is also proved to be more robust to the burst interference.","PeriodicalId":164776,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Communications & Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130641830","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}

After using feature matching to find a reference plane, the parallax of multiple frames will be revised based on the transformation of reference plane and a factorization method is used to recover the relative depth map. Finally, plausible refocus images can be obtained according to the relative depth map.

Since most of WSN applications aim to make full use of the energy-limited sensor nodes to monitor a wide area for a long time, energy efficiency and scalability become two important performance metrics for WSNs. Clustering has been proved to be an effective way to improve energy efficiency and network lifetime for WSNs. However, with the increasing scale of WSNs, existing clustering schemes would face significant limitations in improving energy efficiency and prolonging network lifetime. Inspired by the similar features between large scale WSNs and complex networks, some analysis methods in complex networks can be utilized to address these limitations. In this paper, we propose a clustering scheme, named Energy-aware and Scalable Clustering Scheme (ESCS), to enhance the energy efficiency and scalability in WSNs. The proposed scheme is based on the inherent characteristics of WSNs and evolution idea of Barabasi-Albert (BA) model. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that ESCS can prolong the network lifetime and significantly improve the scalability of WSNs.","PeriodicalId":164776,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Communications & Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133411491","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 new channel model for turbulent plasma sheath is proposed, which is highly parameterized for the convenience of the communication verification. The model is based on 1/fα colored noise and the parameters are derived by propagating the EM wave through uniform plasma field. Statistical characteristics of the channel are investigated by simulations. Results show that signals would be severely modulated by the channel which is distinguished by non-stationary time varying and deep fading.

Specifically, we build up a theoretical model for a communication system which consists of one reader and one tag. The tag employs ambient backscatter to communicate with the reader. Next we design an optimal detector which can minimize the BER and find the closed-form expression for the detection threshold. Noting that the optimal detector cannot result in equal BERs in detect “0” or “1”, therefore we design another detector that can achieve the same error probability in detecting “0” with that in detecting “1”. Moreover, we analyse the BER performance for both detectors.

However, in reality, the resources of mobile nodes are limited, and helping others to carry and forward messages result in resource depletion. Therefore, mobile nodes behave selfishly to some degree along with the available resources. Furthermore, different messages may belong to different service types with different priorities and compete for finite buffer room. In order to guarantee the quality of service, the issues of node selfishness and buffer management should be taken into account in routing algorithms. Consequently, by combining the social properties of node selfishness and degree centrality, we propose an innovative routing algorithm with the buffer management mechanism designed according to message priority. The extensive experiments with the real world traces are conducted and the corresponding simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can improve the message delivery probability with low network overhead, and performs better than existing routing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":164776,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Communications & Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116694838","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}

Carrier frequency offset (CFO) can result in extension and compression of the received signal in time domain and has a direct effect on the performance of decoding. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of CFO estimation and compensation for a high speed UWA communication system. There are three steps including coarse CFO estimation, fine CFO estimation and linear interpolation, which are taken to estimate and compensate the CFO. The scheme can eliminate the phenomenon of ambiguous phase and tolerate quick random variation of the CFO in UWA channel. A UWA communication experiment was carried out in December 2012 in the Indian Ocean, off Rottnest Island, Western Australia. With the proposed algorithm in this paper, the UWA system can achieve an average of 1.95% uncoded BER with QPSK modulation at the 1km range and 5.57% with BPSK at the 10km range.","PeriodicalId":164776,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Wireless Communications & Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115633526","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}
