In this context, we seek a distributed scheme for discrete resource allocation. The algorithm proposed should reduce computation and signalling overhead, compared to centralized optimization or distributed solutions based on Game Theory. Therefore, the solution proposed here consists in splitting the resource allocation problem into two parts. First, Users and Base Stations negotiate a mean allocation using a Multisystem Minimum Mean Rate Scheduling (M3RS) algorithm presented here. Then, Base Stations allocate power independantly and instantaneously in order to cope with changing radio conditions. This problem is widely known in literature and is not developped here.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 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":"125948143","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}

Second, a modification of iterative (turbo) decoding allows appropriate feedback of decoded q-ary symbols and their reliabilities in each decoder iteration.

In margin adaptive objective, base station (BS) has to satisfy individual quality of service (QoS) constraints of the users subject to transmit power minimization. The solution is hard to achieve because multiple streams from different users on the same subcarrier cause inter-stream interference which forces the use of low complexity beamforming techniques and makes it a joint beamforming and resource allocation problem. We propose a sub-optimal two step solution which decouples beamforming from subcarrier and power allocation. First a reduced number of user groups are formed and then the problem is formulated as a convex optimization problem. Finally an efficient algorithm is developed which allocates subcarriers to these user groups. Simulation results reveal comparable performance with the hugely complex optimal solution.","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":"130415314","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 use of orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal designs in such relay networks has the advantage of providing maximum diversity at a low decoding complexity. However, similar to their originating space-time codes, these designs are restricted in terms of rate and number of relays. In order to alleviate such restrictions, we propose an extension of group-coherent codes (GCCs) to wireless relay networks. As will be shown, with a very limited amount of feedback from receiver to the relays, it is possible to achieve a distributed code that is applicable for any number of relays without an additional rate loss. In addition, our approach offers the advantages of linear ML decoding complexity, maximum diversity, lower delay, and increased power gain. We further show that it is possible to improve the performance at the price of a higher feedback rate. Finally, the robustness of our scheme against node failures is verified.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"55 33 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":"116208852","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 algorithms and techniques for locating sensor nodes have been proposed in the literature. A recent algorithm, which is based on a given set of pairwise distance estimates among nodes and the target, generates a map of node locations. This algorithm, known as FastMap, uses projections onto orthogonal hyperplanes to find the coordinates successively. In this paper, we analytically study the performance of the FastMap algorithm for 2D positioning. Moreover a modified version of FastMap with better performance is proposed and analyzed. The analysis shows that the optimum anchor placement should be at the edge of the network.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"86 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":"122686556","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 described receiver structure dispenses with the need of a data fusion center, and is capable of operating either independently or in cooperation with other receivers.

In order to distinguish various systems relying on OFDM modulations from each others (such as WiMAX, WiFi, DVB-T), we need to be able to estimate precisely the inter-carrier spacing used in the transmitted signal. When the ratio between cyclic prefix and OFDM symbol duration is small or when the multipath propagation channel is almost as large as the cyclic prefix, standard approaches based on detection of cyclic prefix via an autocorrelation fall down. Therefore we propose a new algorithm to estimate the parameters of an OFDM modulated signal (especially the inter-carrier spacing) relying on the fourth order statistics of the received signal. We theoretically prove its robustness to multipath channels, time offset and frequency offset. Then its performance is analysed through numerical simulations and compared to standard approach which confirms the accuracy of the new algorithm.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"17 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":"134373906","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}
