The correlation matching approach consists in matching the observation covariance matrix, which is parameterized by the unknown channel vector, with its estimates based on the received observations. The channel estimate, within a complex scalar ambiguity, can be obtained blindly as the solution of a minimization problem. Consistency of the estimator is addressed. Mean square error performance of the proposed estimator and the resulting bit-error rate (BER) performance after zero-forcing equalization are analyzed through computer simulations. The results show the robustness of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114603909","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}

As the mobile terminal's ability is getting advance in recent time, wireless mesh network is expected to support QoS for the multimedia application's traffic. The bandwidth reservation technologies that use TDMA-based MAC guarantee the QoS of these traffic. Each flow reserves the time slots for its route at the beginning of the communication. In the reservation, the network capacity improves greatly by considering the spatial reuse of slots. However, in the current researches, each flow considers the spatial reuse only within its route and consumes other flow's available slots. In this paper, we propose \"Spatial Reuse Slot Allocation with Reallocating Neighbor Links\" (SRSA-RNL). In SRSA-RNL, each flow gathers the neighbor link's slot information and reallocates the slots of these links by considering the spatial reuse among these links. We showed SRSA-RNL improved the data transmission in the network by 8% in the simulation.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114737550","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, coherent receivers require good channel estimates, a difficult task when the channel impulse response is long and/or when space diversity techniques are employed. Usually, the channel estimates are obtained with the help of pilot symbols multiplexed with data symbols, which reduces the useful bit rate, decreasing the spectral efficiency of the systems. To avoid this, we consider the use of implicit pilots instead of multiplexed pilots. Since the interference levels between data and pilots might be very high, we propose an iterative receiver with joint detection and channel estimation. Our performance results show that our technique allows the use of low-power pilots, with performances close to the ones with perfect channel estimation, even when space diversity techniques are employed.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114909642","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 comparison between our scheme and another chase based scheme, the B-Chase detector, which was originally proposed for improving the performance of the vertical Bell Laboratories layered space-time (V-BLAST) system, is also presented. The problem existing in the B-Chase detector is the criterion for selecting the weakest symbol. In our scheme, a more reasonable selection criterion is proposed.

Continuous efforts are being put to improve the performance of ad-hoc networks in terms of path selection, quality of service (QoS), battery efficiency and security. Various routing protocols (proactive and reactive) have been proposed in this field for selecting the best path between the source and the destination. Self Learning Ad-Hoc Routing Protocol (SARP) is one such routing protocol which tries to reduce the control overhead during the path establishment process by piggybacking the information about the intermediate nodes in every path establishment message. Broadcasting of route discovery messages is an essential process in an ad-hoc network. However, in most cases, every node rebroadcasts these messages, resulting in broadcast storms which affect the ad-hoc network performance. In this research work, the authors propose a multicast based approach, i.e., Optimal Zone (OZON) with respect to SARP routing protocol, to control the number of rebroadcasts. OZON defines an optimal zone for every node where only the nodes at the boundary of the optimal zone are allowed to rebroadcast the messages. This reduces the number of broadcast messages in an ad-hoc network to a large extent and also helps in conserving the battery power. The authors evaluate the efficiency of the proposed OZON concept by comparing the performance of OZON enabled SARP (EE-SARP) with AODV, DSR and SARP. Simulation results indicate a significant reduction in the number of control packets and energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123487531","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 first stage LCMV detector produces a tentative detection output, while at the second stage a bank of soft LCMV detectors successively refine the estimated interference group by group with the assistance of the heterogeneous information in the symbol detection process. In addition, to avoid the annoying ordering mechanism, a channel- strength criterion is employed to order the groups at the second stage.
