Unlike pseudo-noise codes used in direct-sequence spread spectrum communications, Walsh-Hadamard code has many side lobes in its autocorrelation function. Well-known initial acquisition schemes for direct-sequence spread spectrum communications, therefore, cannot be applied to WHCDM. In order to solve this problem, we propose an initial acquisition scheme for WHCDM with a novel approach. It detects the symbol timing on the basis of not the autocorrelation function of Walsh-Hadamard code but the energy variance of the signal after demultiplexing. The results of computer simulation confirm that the proposed scheme provides rapid acquisition.","PeriodicalId":225413,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"30 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113935717","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 provides the performance evaluation of a decode-and-forward based dual-hop wireless-powerline mixed cooperative system in terms of analytical average bit error rate (BER). The fading in the wireless channel is modeled by the Nakagami-m distribution while that in the PLC channel is modeled using the Log-Normal distribution. The analysis involving Log-Normal fading is very complicated; hence, we use the gamma approximation to Log-Normal distribution for our analysis. The additive noise in PLC channel follows Bernoulli-Gaussian distribution. We derive probability density function of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio of the considered system. A closed-form expression of the average BER of the considered system is computed. We also evaluate the diversity of the considered system. Validity of the derived analytical expressions is closely verified by simulated results.","PeriodicalId":225413,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128857156","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 past, several methods and algorithms were developed for the IA problem. Among these IA algorithms, Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is the most effective and popular algorithm with fast convergence time, wide use in optimization problems in general and issue of IA problem in particular and has been continuously improved. In this paper, we focus on the MSA algorithm, one of the latest improved versions of SA for the IA problem and improved the MSA algorithm by using the mechanism of TS algorithm in order to avoid repeated searches.

We propose an heuristic algorithm to choose the best sites to install the FSO transceivers and also the best topology for a given traffic load in a region. The algorithm aims to use the least of FSO links as possible since this allows to reduce the network costs. In addition, the algorithm takes into account the influence of turbulence, misalignment, and noise by choosing links with low bit-error rate (BER). The simulation results show that the calculation time of the proposed heuristic algorithm is much smaller than optimal integer linear programming (ILP) model. Since the proposed algorithm runs very fast, even with a large number of choices of FSO sites, it is practical to use it in building quickly a restoration communication networks for replacing a regular one after a disaster. The average BER of all links of the FSO network designed by using the proposed algorithm also meets the requirement of end-to-end BER threshold.","PeriodicalId":225413,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125323823","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}
