To implement suitable spectrum sensing techniques, RF front end is mandatory at the secondary devices. However, these front-ends are usually low cost devices implying then some RF impairments which may affect the properties and characteristics of the received signal hence the performance of the spectrum sensing. In this paper, we analyze the effect of three main imperfections on the spectrum sensing capabilities of a CR receiver: the carrier frequency offset, the IQ mismatch and the phase noise. We show that the energy detector is not sensitive to any of these errors while the cyclostationnarity detector is only sensitive to the phase noise while its performance is independent of the carrier frequency offset and IQ mismatch values.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122224056","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}

Therefore, sensors' duty-cycling is a significant process in order to reduce data load and prolong network lifetime, where certain sensors are selected to be active, while some others are pushed into sleep mode. However, quality of service in terms of network connectivity and sensing coverage must be guaranteed. This paper proposes a sensor selection method to guarantee connected coverage by using hexagonal tessellation as a virtual partition which consists of many hexagonal cells across the network. Six pieces of equilateral triangles in each hexagonal cell are target areas in which k sensors are selected to operate. Performance of the method is evaluated in terms of quality of connected coverage, number of active nodes, efficient coverage area and chance of node selection.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125692126","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}

Motivated by Bayesian compressed sensing, we discuss the possibility of approximate decoding, even with fewer received measurements (packets) than the number of messages. As a result, our real field network coding scenario, called quantized network coding, is capable of inter-node compression without the need to know the inter-node redundancy of messages. We also present our numerical and analytic arguments on the robustness and computational simplicity (relative to the previously proposed linear programming and standard belief propagation) of our proposed decoding algorithm for the quantized network coding.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"167 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131746742","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 CSI estimation rates we mean how much the receivers' tracking loops are fast to estimate the channel gains over the individual time slots. The fading links are considered to be frequency-flat time-varying Rayleigh fading and modeled by a first-order autoregressive process (AR1). General closed-form approximate expression is derived for the outage probability, which is further verified through Monte Carlo simulation. The derived expression is valid for time-varying as well as quasi-static fading links for both low and high CSI estimation rates. Furthermore, we analytically show that, due to high speeds of the cooperating-nodes, the outage probability experiences asymptotic floor which could be completely eliminated by well-designed fast tracking loops at the receivers. This outage performance is also investigated under different nodes mobility scenarios.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127785801","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 work considers the use of FFR in the cellular uplink (UL). We analyze the uplink worst case Signal to Interference power Ratio (SIR) for sectored FFR and compare its results with those of strict FFR and Soft FFR. A closed form expression is derived analytically for worst SIR and best inner radius. This analytical technique is utilized to configure a FFR solution for the TIL of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) cellular systems. The analysis is performed using two-tiers cellular network with uniform user density and for three different cases of FFR, sectored FFR, Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR), and strict FFR with Frequency Reuse Factor (FRF)= 3 and FRF= 4. Also the effect of power control exponent on those FFR schemes is studied. The inner radius configuration depends on equalizing the worst SIR for both inner and outer edges of the cell. Numerical results show that sectored FFR without power control yields the highest SIR followed by strict FFR with FRF= 4. Power control exponent does not affect FFR with reuse three but strongly affects SFR and FRF= 4 as its increase reduces its SIR and inner radius. Sectored FFR without power control have the highest SE, hence sectored FFR highly balances the needs of interference reduction and resource efficiency but at the expense of increased system complexity.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133852965","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 explains the concept of the transmitter-side nonlinearities that are induced by the High Power Amplifiers (HPA), the final stage at the transmitter side of the communication system. HPA nonlinearities create in-band and out-of-band distortions in wireless communication systems. The in-band distortion results in the degradation of overall performance of Bit Error Rate (BER) and the capacity of the mobile operations. On the other hand, out-of-band distortion creates the spectral broadening effects that degrade the performance of other operators usually operate in the near bands. This paper presents a novel method for the mitigation of HPA nonlinearities by joint predistorter and constellation rotation in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. The results reveal that the joint nonlinearity compensation technique in MIMO communications system enhances the overall error rate performance of the system.

And in the paper, we show that the feasibility is no longer limited by the number of users K. Two typical scenarios are considered in this paper, namely, a single-stream and a multi-stream system. And the graph theory is introduced to investigate the feasibility conditions under both scenarios. Compared with other existing works about the feasibility, our paper considers a more general scenario in which different users can transmit different numbers of data streams and the maximum number of interference streams to be removed for each user can be different. Thus the results are more meaningful to practical systems.","PeriodicalId":199195,"journal":{"name":"2014 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"37 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":"131820669","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}
