This system provides an additional function to an LED advertisement panel; the panel not only displays an advertisement, but also transmits wirelessly to other devices. We suggest its use in benefit of the visually impaired. They can obtain local information by using this system, named i-LightHouse (i-LH). For this purpose, i-LH transmits a long-range navigation signal to direct users to the LED sign panel and a short-range signal to download content information to the users' devices. We propose its modulation scheme which can multiplex the navigation and content information at the same time. In this system, the interruption by a passerby and ambient lights may degrade the communication performance. On these issues, we propose an error correcting method and a filter to mitigate the interference of them and evaluate the effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126307889","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}

With increases of signal bandwidth, the effects of limited bandwidth of the predistorter feedback path cannot be ignored. In the proposed algorithm, adaptation is derived from direct learning for the lookup table (LUT) gains. According to the proposed approach, when the LUT contents are adapted according to an LMS algorithm, several other LUT entries adjacent to the currently processed entry are also updated. However, the level of adaption for adjacent entries is less than for the currently processed entry. This level is defined by the preselected window weight function. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to design a low-complexity, memoryless adaptive predistortion system with narrowband feedback path to compensate for the nonlinearity of an HPA.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122264407","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 method is based on controlling the forward and the back-scattering currents at the antenna ports taking each antenna's driving point impedance into account. We achieve this using a six-section connection circuit that is placed between the multi-antenna system ports and the rest of the transceivers. The method is presented through application to a printed two-monopole antenna example and is implemented in a number of ways showing the technique's flexibility. An improvement in the mutual coupling ranging between 4–10 dB was achieved. The technique is general and does not require the MIMO problem to be symmetric, i.e., it can be implemented to MIMO systems with different antenna types.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116733550","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 main characteristic of the proposed scheme is the small signaling overhead required for the cooperation between the secondary systems. The secondary systems need only to communicate their locations to a central network controller. The controller can then allocate the transmission power levels to the different systems such that the TV receivers are sufficiently protected. At the same time, the sum of the transmission power levels allocated to the secondary systems is maximized.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116742274","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 proposed design employs stochastic gradient algorithm to guarantee the local optimum. Moreover, it is improved by using simulated annealing type optimization to approach the global optimum.

In this work, we use the periodic nature of body actions to propose an action-based scheduling technique in which time-slot allocations are adapted to the periodic connectedness of on-body links. In other words, the periodicity of on-body links is employed to predict the future behaviours of links to help develop energy-efficient communications between on-body nodes, thereby elongating the network lifetime. Analysis and measurement with 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee compliant micaZ motes in a fitness environment serve as our tool to do action recognition and subsequently scheduling. The proposed technique helps us reach within less than 7% of power consumption lower bound while it does not have complexity of most channel prediction algorithms that can result in excessive process power consumption.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131763916","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}

It is shown that spectrum sensing and sharing scenario can be modeled as a transferable utility (TU) cooperative game and that Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction mechanism can be used to allocate spectrum resources fairly to each user. SUs form coalitions to jointly sense the spectrum. The worth of each SU is calculated according to the work done for the coalition in terms of the information obtained about primary user (PU) activity from sensing the spectrum. The resulting games are balanced and superadditive and each SU gets a pay-off according to her worth in the coalition. Depending upon their spectrum needs, SUs use this pay-off to bid for unoccupied bands of spectrum through an VCG auction. VCG auction mechanism provides SUs with an incentive to bid truthfully according to their demand and is socially optimal. The concepts and results are illustrated using a simple example.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131764142","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}
