Target QoS corresponds to a minimum user data rate, a target bit-error rate and a maximum outage probability. The only available CSI is the channel average gain of each user. This partial CSI can be viewed as a shadowed pathloss that yields a modified user distribution on which resource allocation is based. Under these constraints, we provide the optimal resource allocation that maximizes the user rate. Compared to full-CSI-based allocation schemes, our solution offers a significant complexity and feedback reduction as well as a good robustness to CSI estimation errors.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129406391","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 paper presents a non-data-aided (NDA) SNR estimation scheme for 32APSK using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Two variants of the EM algorithm are presented, first with an arbitrary initialization and a second version that is initialized by modifying an existing (sub-optimal) SNR estimation technique. We demonstrate a significantly faster convergence with the latter form of initialization. We compare the performance of this estimator to the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of NDA SNR estimation and show that the estimator performs very close to the CRLB over all SNRs of practical interest even for block sizes of 100 symbols. The estimator has also been implemented on FPGAs and we show that the fixed point implementation also performs very close to the theoretical limit.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132996094","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}

Such a receiver is frequently encountered in wireless communications and in array processing, and the Signal to noise ratio (SNR) at its output is a popular performance index. The SNR can be modeled as a random quadratic form and in order to study this quadratic form, one can rely on well-know results in Random Matrix Theory, if one assumes that the dimension of the received and transmitted signals go to infinity, their ratio remaining constant. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the SNR for a large class of multidimensional signals (MIMO, CDMA, MC-CDMA transmissions). More precisely, we provide a deterministic approximation of the SNR, that depends on the system parameters; furthermore, the fluctuations of the SNR around this deterministic approximation are shown to be Gaussian, with variance decreasing as 1/K, where K is the dimension of the transmitted signal.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133228552","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 apply this algorithm for sensor networks with binary CEO model where sensors observe different noisy versions of a single source, located away from sensors. This calls for employing more powerful error correcting codes, therefore we apply convolutional codes (Hamming codes and single parity check codes are applied in). We use the concept of iterative horizontal-vertical decoding for concatenated block codes to formulate the update rules for L-values for the considered binary CEO model. Our simulations confirm that the iterative joint decoding scheme substantially decreases the bit error rate compared with the separate decoding scheme, and reaches the minimum achievable distortion for channels with significantly higher noise levels.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122244227","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 define a binary packet (symbol) error sequence that indicates whether or not an RS symbol is transmitted successfully across the discrete channel whose input enters the modulator and whose output exits the demodulator. We then approximate the discrete channelpsilas packet error sequence using an Mth order Markov queue-based channel (QBC). In other words, the QBC is used to model the discrete channel at the packet level. Modeling accuracy is evaluated by comparing the simulated probability of codeword error (PCE) for the discrete channel with the numerically evaluated PCE for the QBC. Modeling results identify accurate low-order QBCs for a wide range of fading conditions and reveal that modeling the discrete channel at the packet level is an efficient tool for non-binary coding performance evaluation over channels with memory.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115125295","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 shown that all channels in the network from the source through the relays to the destination/receiver node can be blindly estimated up to a phase ambiguities vector which contains the phases of the direct source to destination channel frequency response. Hence, by employing a small number of pilot symbols, phase ambiguities can be effectively resolved. As verified by computer simulations, the proposed methods exhibit high estimation accuracy even for a short training sequence, and outperform direct training-based channel estimation.
