To meet the ever growing demand for higher data rates, higher order modulations have been considered. This paper shows that it is possible to use the magnitude modulation concept for the M-QAM case, even considering the huge number of symbol combinations. The constellation and RRC symmetries are explored, allowing considerable reduction on look-up table computation complexity and storage requirements. Experimental results show considerable gains (>2dB) in PAPR and back-off reduction for 16-QAM with negligible BER losses.","PeriodicalId":297815,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117040958","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 novel subcarrier allocation method without channel state information (CSI) at any node is proposed to improve the diversity product. Moreover, for an arbitrary number of relays, a competitive non-regenerative DSFC proposed by Zhang et. aL, is extended to differential transmission incorporated with the proposed subcarrier allocation method for fair comparison. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results confirm that the proposed DSFC outperforms Zhang's scheme significantly in the differential case.","PeriodicalId":297815,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128613864","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 technique uses linear precoding to orthogonalize the channels, thus nullifying the interference. It employs a perturbation vector as well to reduce the transmitted power. The performance is enhanced by joint optimization of the linear precoder and the perturbation vector. As a result, the EDLP achieves not only full diversity order, but also significant power gain over comparable techniques. Although this structure enables EDLP to perform a global optimization on the closest lattice point search problem, the computational complexity of this nonlinear lattice precoding is comparable to linear techniques. Furthermore, the complexity at the receiver is kept constrained. When channel estimation errors are present, the proposed EDLP technique exhibits its robustness compared to other lattice precoding techniques.","PeriodicalId":297815,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129310412","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 presents a new MAC layer protocol designed for broadcast MANETs called COMB (Cell-based Orientation-aware MANET Broadcast). In principle, COMB allows the realization of a collision free transmission, high speed is supported and no handshake is required.

Secondly, we propose an efficient multiuser receiver architecture that requires a single polyphase filter bank and a concatenation of DFTs. Thirdly, we analyze time domain pre- equalization (TEQ) to shorten the equivalent channel impulse response between the FMT filter bank output and the ST-CP-DMT receiver. The proposed multiuser receiver outperforms the bank of synchronous single user receivers yet requiring less complexity.

A feedback link is assumed between the transceivers so that the receiver conveys to the multi-beam transmitter the new beams transmit power weights to be used in order to achieve the best signal quality at a given receiver location. The performance of a sample case of three receivers placed in different configurations in the room is evaluated in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and is compared with the single receiver scenario with and without a power adaptation. In the presence of one receiver, the transmit spot powers can be adjusted for optimum performance at that receiver location. For multiple receivers, there is conflict and we propose spot power adaptation based on the average requirements (power distribution in spots), i.e., EGC of spot power or MRC combining of spot powers. The results showed that the three receivers benefit most from an adaptive transmitter when each is placed at a corner of the room. In this case, as much as 2.8 dB increase in SNR is achieved for all three receivers at the corners. Moreover, a considerable SNR gain (1.8 dB) is also obtained when all receivers lie directly under the line of diffusing spots. Although the performance of the collaborative transmitter when all three receivers were located near room wall produced very minimal improvement, none of the receivers suffered any decrease in SNR.","PeriodicalId":297815,"journal":{"name":"IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127035037","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}
