Further a MIMO-UWB test-bed for evaluation and verification of specific multiple antenna algorithms and system designs will be provided. The evaluation of this initial test-bed allows the study of multi-user and interfering scenarios by providing access to the real MIMO channel.

This channel suffers from impulsive noise and other narrow-band interferences. Impulsive noise, in particular, can degrade the performance of OFDM-based Power Line Communication (PLC) systems significantly. Due to its simplicity, clipping is a popular technique for impulsive noise reduction. In this paper, we propose an adaptive- threshold clipping technique for impulsive noise reduction in OFDM based PLC receivers. Adaptivity in this technique is based on the minimum Bit Error Rate (BER). For our simulations, we adopt a widely accepted and practically proven channel model for broadband power line communication. Three noise scenarios, namely “heavily disturbed”, “medium disturbed” and “weakly disturbed”, that are based on practical measurements are used to investigate the performance of clipping technique before and after employing the proposed adaptive threshold by means of computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":311235,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"68 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133990785","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 order to shape the spectrum of the signal, a time dither on generated pulses leading to so-called Time Hopping UWB (TH-UWB) is introduced. Although of many advantages, the TH-PPM scheme faces serious challenges which are the Cross Modulation Interference (CMI) and the Inter Frame Interference (IFI) due to the multipath propagation. In this paper, Time Reversal is proposed as a technique for mitigating the CMI and IFI in TH-PPM UWB systems at the transmitter side. The CMI and IFI amount can be assessed by Signal-to-Interference-Ratio (SIR). Simulation results show that the proposed approach can improves the BER performance of the system considerably.

Two concepts of center-ray tube and lateral-ray tube are defined and then compared in different aspects of accuracy and computational time wherein the use of lateral-ray tube revealed as important step forward in ray tracing accuracy but more time consuming. An acceleration technique developed based on ray tubes coherency that deals with ray-sharing characteristic of tube. New concept of two-ray tube tracing (TRTT) benefiting four-ray tube configuration is presented. A computational procedure developed to implement TRTT technique for simulation of wave propagating through large complex three-dimensional (3D) objects. To verify accuracy of presented TRTT technique and relevant computational procedure, a simple 4 buildings scenario analyzed using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®. Moreover, field measurement values and TRTT simulation results compared in an urban environment on 910 MHz. The good agreement between simulation results and the measurements validates presented technique. Consequently, proposed technique provides an efficient ray tracing method while retains same accuracy as for four-ray tube launching. Moreover, this method can be used for evaluation of wireless channel characteristics by providing enough 3D information of tube configuration for 3D analysis of environments.","PeriodicalId":311235,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128523283","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}
