A pilot preamble-based approach is proposed that makes use of the conjugate direction search algorithm. In many earlier works, the multidimensional optimization involved in this joint estimation problem is broken into a series of one-dimensional searches. All these methods calculate the frequency offsets of the different users one after the other. However in this work, the Powell's method of Conjugate Direction Search is made use of, which gives all estimates simultaneously regardless of the number of active users in the system. Its performance is compared with a computationally-efficient approximation of the Alternating Projection algorithm [8]. The method compares favourably in this regard and has the added advantage of flexibilty of application to any subcarrier assignment scheme in OFDMA systems. The performance advantages of this new method are substantiated through simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127518263","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}

It is known that the power consumption of a Base Station is not only due to the radio power transmitted and the power consumed by the digital signal processing transceiver units but also due to the huge amount of power consumed by the cooling system and power backup units. It has been seen that although traffic load varies over a large range during a 24 hour cycle the power consumption does not vary proportionally. Traffic load dependent power saving is one of the foci of this work. An important aspect included in this work is the huge penetration loss that is added to the system Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) during night time when most of the users are considered to be indoor. This work focuses on the performance evaluation cell sleep mode to save power (reduce carbon foot print). Results relating to three sector urban micro-cell scenario as per International Telecommunication Union (ITU) specification are presented. Traffic load threshold for activating the sleep mode is also identified.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128388004","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}

CPE involves estimation of time versus instantaneous frequency relationship and estimation of amplitude-variation of chirp-envelope with time. This paper introduces a new approach for estimating the parameters of an incoming noisy chirp signal by passing it through a collection of filters of known responses. Instantaneous frequency of the noisy chirp is then `collectively' estimated from the responses of these known filters to the chirp. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that, no a-priori information regarding the time versus instantaneous frequency relationship is required. Moreover, the technique works equally well for various types of modulations in the chirp. Results are encouraging even when amplitude of chirp-envelope is time-varying.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128449260","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 notion of transmission configuration (TC) is considered and a heuristic algorithm is proposed to find a good subset of all possible TCs. Using these TCs, we present convex programming (CP) formulations to find a proportional fair rate allocation solution.

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-sensor vector prediction history tree (V-PHT) decision algorithm for error correction in a wireless sensor network (WSN). This scheme is based on the recently proposed prediction history tree (PHT) algorithm for model based error correction in WSNs. However, unlike the existing PHT model, which exclusively exploits the temporal correlation inherent in the narrowband sensor data, the proposed V-PHT model for sensor data correction exploits the joint spatial and temporal correlation in sensor data arising out of geographical proximity of the sensor nodes. Towards this end, an optimal multi-sensor spatio-temporal AR model is developed for predictive modeling of the sensor data. Further, employing the spatio-temporal correlation structure amongst the sensors, we develop a robust framework for optimal estimation of the multi-sensor AR predictor model. Simulation results obtained employing sensor data models available in literature demonstrate that the proposed spatio-temporal V-PHT model for error correction in a WSN results in a significant reduction in mean-squared error (MSE) compared to the existing PHT scheme which exploits only temporal correlation.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124223764","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}
