Both methods aim to enhance the channel capacity compared to fixed transmission method. Alpha-Mu fading channel covers different fading channels in wireless communications to study the bit error rate or spectral efficiency. In this paper, the use of adaptive transmission with SC diversity is implemented under alpha-mu fading channel. Two different options were presented. The first option deals with the transmission of the data without taking target bit error rate into account, where no transmission under this option, which is good for low data rate services. Buffering the data in bad channel condition and waiting for the next period to send the data is the main target of the second option. The target bit error rate will be considered. In each scenario, bit error rate and spectral efficiency are computed. Simulation results illustrated that the performance of α - μ fading channel can be presented to different fading models. The results show that Nakagami-m fading distribution outperforms the performance of both Rayleigh and Weibull distributions in terms of BER and SE under selection combining diversity.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125123526","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}

Hard decision combining (HDC) schemes are proposed to combine the sensing decisions of the collaborated users to come out with a global binary decision on the presence or absence PUs. This paper presents an analytical study on the optimality of HDC rules at which the Bayes risk function is minimized. In this work, the sensing performance of energy detection (ED) is also evaluated in two cases; when the estimated noise power is perfectly known at the SU receiver and when noise uncertainty is present at the SU receiver. The sensing performance of the ED and likelihood ratio test (LRT) of local spectrum sensing (SS) is first compared. Then, the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) employing k-out-of-N combining rule has been analyzed. A mathematical derivation of an optimal decision combining rule under low Bayes risk has been formulated. Computer results show that the sensing performance of the ED method slightly outperforms the LRT method within the lower range of probability of false alarm. However, the two methods exhibit almost similar sensing performance within the higher range of probability of false alarm. On the other hand, at lower values of probability of detection, the OR combining rule exhibits the best detection performance over the Majority and AND rules. Finally, it has been found that the optimal decision combining rule to achieve lower Bayes risk function is the Majority distributed decision rule.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"59 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127580483","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}

Many researchers introduce different techniques to reduce PAPR with tradeoffs of data rate loss and computations of approach. In some cases, the techniques of reduction may lead to increase average power of transmitted signal and degrades the BER performance at the receiver. Hence, proper design of PAPR reduction technique needs to be considered. In this paper, a combination of Clipping Peak and Amplifying Bottom (CPAB) is proposed. The peak of signal is clipped at a threshold A, while the bottom values of signal are amplified to threshold B. The clipping technique was widely accepted method to improve the PAPR statistics. Therefore, joint clipping with amplifying in CPAB will develop PAPR reduction. In addition, PAPR value depends on clipping and amplifying thresholds. The result shows that the clipping factor affected the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) performance more than the amplifying factor in CPAB technique. Thus, by properly select the threshold of A and B, better OFDM system performance is achieved with lower PAPR.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126857227","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}
