A number of research proposed channel separation by utilizing Energy Detection (ED) as a solution to overcome the interference issue. However, to the author's knowledge there is little information on scan duration set for ED that need to be pre-configured before any communication or transmission can be established. This paper present an empirical study conducted to identify suitable scan duration for ED. Experimental test in this study is conducted in two different conditions: 1) without interference and 2) with interference from IEEE802.11b WiFi Access Point (AP). After considering the tradeoff between accuracy and false detection, the outcome from this study suggests that n=3 is suitable scan duration (SD) to be configured for ED.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"73 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134013225","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 the Massive-MIMO system the number of transmit antennas is much larger than the number of served users. Hence, it promises higher spectral efficiency by improving the rank of the overall channel matrix and localizing the interference. To mitigate interference (especially between adjacent sub-sectors), the accuracy of estimated channel is highly important. While, channel estimation in Massive-MIMO systems will cause the technical challenge of pilot contamination, due to the large number of antennas. In this regard, this paper addresses the effect of pilot training during channel estimation in downlink and uplink transmission of TDD Massive-MIMO system. The results present the performance of channel estimation in term of mean square error under different channel estimation techniques, various number of transmit antennas, and different length of pilot training. Moreover, results are compared under two different scenarios; without and with interference (pilot contamination). The results highlight the importance of pilot contamination avoidance in the Massive-MIMO system.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114351207","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 practice, CRs not only have to cope with impulsive noises but also need to consider noise uncertainties. Small uncertainties of noise parameters are inevitable in any practical detector and the impact of these must be considered. This paper considers the energy detector based spectrum sensing under Middleton Class A noise with parameter uncertainties. Firstly, we show how analytical expressions of the probabilities of detection and false alarm can be derived. Secondly, we show that the mismatch of impulsive parameters A and Γ have little impact on performance and can thus generally be ignored but the uncertainty of noise power σZ2 can induce SNR Walls to the detector, which means that, no matter how many observations are obtained, the detector cannot robustly detect the primary signal. These results have implications for designing an enhanced energy detector for robust spectrum sensing.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130393414","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 designed unit-cell shows double negative values (both permittivity and permeability) in S band (2.95 GHz to 4.00 GHz). The array configurations shift resonance points of metamaterial structure slightly and hence lead to shift of negative value frequency ranges of effective parameters slightly.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127898204","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}
