We refer to this channel as quantized broadcast channel (QBC). We first observe that the capacity region defined for a GBC does not carry over as such to QBC. Also, we show that the optimal decoding scheme for GBC (i.e., high SNR user doing successive decoding and low SNR user decoding its message alone) is not optimal for QBC. We then propose an achievable rate region for QBC based on two different schemes. We present achievable rate region results for the case of uniform quantization at the receivers. We find that rotation of one of the user's input alphabet with respect to the other user's alphabet marginally enlarges the achievable rate region of QBC when almost equal powers are allotted to both the users.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"114 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":"128182400","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}

Many protocols are proposed for energy efficient cluster based sensor network. In this paper, energy efficient Adaptive number of Frames per Round (AFR) protocol is proposed for a WSN where cluster heads are evenly distributed. The proposed AFR protocol combined with the cooperative Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) technique is extended for dual-hop wireless sensor networks to improve the network lifetime. The selection of the cooperative relay then explored so that the unexpected partition in network is avoided. Different cooperative relay positions have been investigated for decreasing and balancing the energy consumption in the network. Comparison is made for AFR protocol with and without dual-hop cooperative MISO scheme as well as with some other existing protocols.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"4 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":"125689761","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}

When the stub length is taken to be nearly quarter wave in length, it offers capacitive and inductive impedance around the resonance frequency of the patch and realizes dual frequency response. In this paper, a detail analysis for the effect of stub on the dual band response of rectangular microstrip antenna is presented. The surface current distributions and the resonance curve plots were studied. It was observed that the stub modifies the fundamental and higher order orthogonal mode resonance frequencies of the patch and realizes dual frequency response. With an increase in stub length the directions of surface currents are modified, which gives broadside radiation pattern at the dual frequencies. The formulation of resonant length at dual frequencies in terms of stub dimensions is proposed and they agree within 5% with that of the simulated results.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"59 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":"128925626","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 monitoring system, while performing its operations for maintaining the health of the monitored network, must also be conscious of its impact on the application performance, and must strive to minimize this impact. To this end, we propose a centralized scheduling algorithm within 6PANview which non-intrusively analyzes application traffic arrival patterns at the base station, identifies network idle periods and schedules monitoring activities. The proposed algorithm finds those periodic sequences which are likely to have given rise to the pattern of arrivals seen at the base station. Parts of those sequences are then extended to coarsely predict future traffic and find epochs where low traffic is predicted, in order to schedule monitoring traffic or other activities at these times. We present simulation results for the proposed prediction and scheduling algorithm and its implementation as part of 6PANview. As an enhancement, we briefly talk about using 6PANview's overlay network architecture for distributed scheduling.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"53 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":"129200292","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 consider a cellular system employing MIMO-OFDM technique and beamforming with the goal of maximizing the system throughput. We use an approach based on iterative random orthogonal beamforming and correlation between the subcarriers which exploits orthogonality conditions of the scheduled users with reduced feedback. By simulation results, it is observed that this approach improves the throughput of the system with lower complexity.","PeriodicalId":178278,"journal":{"name":"2012 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"160 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":"132835474","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}
