The network consists of base nodes and target nodes. Base nodes equipped with antenna arrays are capable of localizing target nodes independently via integrated time-of-arrival (TOA) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. In addition, base nodes cooperate to improve the localization accuracy by fusing the estimated target node positions. Kalman filter is integrated with the fusion to further improve the localization performance. The proposed technique is compared to a localization technique based on extended Kalman filter (EKF), which directly fuses the multiple measured TOA-DOA. The comparison criteria include localization accuracy in terms of error cumulative distribution function (CDF) and approximate posterior Cramer Rao lower bound (APCRLB), filter stability and computational complexity. The comparison confirms that the proposed method involves minor computational complexity, while it demonstrates slightly larger PCRLB; however, compared to EKF its stability is higher. This makes it a good candidate for localizing multiple target nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122122601","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}

To close this gap for single-carrier differentially encoded phase shift keying with interleaving and convolutional encoding, Peleg et al. proposed a joint and iterative multi-symbol detection and decoding scheme that regards the differential encoding as inner component code of a serially concatenated code. Several data-, audio- and video-broadcast systems are differentially encoded multi-carrier systems and use time multiplexing of the transmitted services to reduce receiver complexity. The commonly used receiver-structure for these systems does not perform joint and iterative multi-symbol detection and decoding. The present work extends the use of the single-carrier iterative decoding scheme proposed by Peleg et al. to demodulate differentially encoded multi-carrier systems. A novel two-dimensional block-based demodulation is proposed that maintains both the multi-symbol differential detection coding gain and the reduction in receiver complexity by time-multiplexing. Simulations show that with comparable receiver-complexity, the proposed multi-carrier scheme outperforms the single-carrier scheme by ≈ 0.9 dB. Furthermore, the receiver complexity can be reduced up to a factor of four and a half compared to the single-carrier scheme. Finally, the proposed multi-carrier scheme outperforms ”classical” two-symbol differential detection with soft-decision Viterbi-decoding by ≈ 2.8 dB with one iteration and by ≈ 1.2 dB without iterations.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129711993","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}

However, reconfiguration time and power, limit the extent to which reconfiguration can be applied. Traditionally, either complete modules have to be swapped out or they can co-exist on chip. In this work, we propose a methodology for exploring a larger reconfiguration space for a class of systems that have FIR-like structure. Furthermore, by jointly optimizing the filters we exploit parameter similarities to minimize a linear cost function of area and reconfiguration overhead. We consider the physical limitations of implementing these designs on FPGAs and propose a placement-aware approach to account for those limitations. The proposed technique minimizes the size of the reconfigurable filter and reduces the reconfiguration overhead by up to 25% in a WiMax system which is used as a case study.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130354227","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 WMN is dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing and maintaining mesh connectivity among themselves. Mobility management, with provisioning of Quality of Service guarantees to mobile stations (MSs), is one of the key topics in these networks. This paper proposes efficient Mac Layer handoff management scheme for WMNs. First, we describe a new approach to reduce discovery delay based on handoff prediction when MSs roam across different Wireless Mesh Routers (WMRs). Then we develop a new algorithm to select the optimal target WMR using the minimum airtime cost as metric. The simulation results show that our design may achieve better performance in terms of discovery delay and network throughput.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"484 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126515494","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 addition to allowing direct communication between vehicles, VANETs also enable vehicles to connect to Roadside Units (RSUs) which are inexpensive infrastructure that have the capability of communicating with each others and with passing by vehicles. RSUs have so far been used for various purposes such as information disseminators, traffic directories, security providers, and service directories that store information about service providers. In this paper, we propose a system that uses RSUs as delegates of users in a VANET to acquire services from service providers without the users directly connecting to them. Since some of these services may require user authentication with the corresponding service providers, the system implements a method for allowing RSUs to use the user's credentials to get the requested services without jeopardizing the user's privacy. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system using the ns2 simulation software and demonstrated through comparing the results to those of an existing system the feasibility and efficiency of the new system in terms of query delay and traffic generation.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125489748","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 analysis assumes that the wavelength converters are deployed at the input ports of the node such that the node may have variable wavelength conversion capability. This means that the node may have no, partial or full conversion capability. The no and partial wavelength conversion is imitated by modeling each output port in the node as an M/M/w/w queue with limited server accessibility. Two performance measures are derived from the model; namely, the steady state throughput and the average burst loss probability assuming Poisson traffic arrivals. In addition, a simulation work is performed in order to validate the results of our proposed model. After taking into consideration the cost of the wavelength converters, optimum values for the wavelength conversion capability in the node, which lead to minimum burst loss probability, are reached for different traffic conditions.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130059354","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}
