The desired user channels are assumed to follow the Rayleigh distribution and different fading environments for interferers' channels have been considered, Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Rician. We derive exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability and the symbol error rate (SER) for the Rayleigh and Nakagami-m cases, and accurate approximations for the case of Rician distributed interferers' channels. Both, the independent non-identically distributed (i.n.d.) and independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) cases of interferers' channels have been considered in this paper. Furthermore, a look into the asymptotical high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance has been taken and the diversity order and coding gain of the proposed fading environments are compared. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulations are provided to validate the analytical and asymptotic results and to illustrate the effect of interference on the system performance.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124664584","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 idea of orthogonal coding has later been extended to new degrees of freedom like polarization and frequency (OFDM) as well. The majority of the research concerning code matrices still concentrates on real and complex codes. However, there has been some change in the very past where also quaternions came into play. Nevertheless, hypercomplex numbers like quaternions, octonions and others are still used rarely. One reason we saw was that there is no general idea and construction scheme for code matrices. Real-, complex- and quaternion-valued code matrices are still being constructed in the respective domain. For that reason, we took an abstract point of view. That is, we do not consider a certain type of hypercomplex numbers. Instead, we do all computation in a real matrix-representation. Moreover, we show the basic conditions that have to be fulfilled so that generalized orthogonal hypercomplex codes exist.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130254078","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 structured subchannel IR estimation allows us to isolate the propagation channel from the transmit and receive filters. As a consequence the number of parameters to be estimated is reduced as well as the length of the training sequence.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127299146","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 study joint subcarrier matching and power allocation for two-hop relay systems with the purpose of maximizing the total spectral efficiency. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer (binary) problem, but due to its complexity, the problem is separated into subcarrier matching and power allocation subproblems. Methods to solve both problems have been presented in previous works, but the solution to the power allocation problem still presented a high complexity. In this paper we demonstrate that the power allocation problem can be reformulated into a more tractable form, allowing us to develop suboptimal solutions based on water-filling with low computational cost. Numerical results show that the proposed suboptimal solutions are near-optimal and offer a good trade-off between performance and complexity.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129490132","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}

By exploiting the statistical properties of the received subband signals, the average of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is derived to exhibit the tradeoff between performance and efficiency. Furthermore, bit-error-rate (BER) comparisons of FBMC systems with different oversampling ratios over frequency-selective and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels in the presence of CFO are presented. These results confirm that oversampling increases robustness of the system against CFO.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"106 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120820800","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 the previous work, we have proposed two methods on cooperative node selection for each forwarding node over the route between S and D established by the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) algorithm, but their application has been limited within the selection of just a single cooperative node for each forwarding node. Extension from single cooperative node selection to multiple cooperative nodes selection is not straightforward and requires a deep consideration, because when dealing with multiple cooperative nodes, we need to select and order adequate multiple cooperative nodes, and the selection and the ordering are related to each other. In this paper, we propose a multiple cooperative nodes selection method based on the criterion composed of the “quality” and “angle” metrics, which can select and order adequate cooperative nodes uniquely according to the criterion. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the packet error rate without any knowledge on the locations of nodes; as the number of cooperative nodes increases, the packet error rate is gradually improved, but the packet delay inevitably increases.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121599117","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 scheme is implemented by combining frame based Slotted ALOHA and Q-Learning. ALOHA based schemes have the benefits of simplicity, low computation and overheads, but suffer collisions from the blind transmission strategy. By considering the previous transmission experience, Q-Learning offers nodes certain intelligence to access slots with a lower probability of collision. During data transmissions, receivers are informed by transmitters about their future slot selections so that the receivers can turn off their radio in other slots to save energy. Compared with basic Slotted ALOHA, ALOHA-QIR obtains significant improvements in throughput, delay and energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114253816","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}
