Compared to radio frequency (RF) communication systems, FSO ones provide high data rates, unregulated bandwidth, high security, and low power. Therefore, FSO systems are rapidly gaining interest as an effective means of transferring data at high rates over short distances. However, FSO still faces many challenges, including weather-dependent atmospheric attenuation, atmospheric turbulence, and misalignment fading (or pointing error). In this paper, we present some of the exciting research approaches that have been suggested to evaluate and improve the performance of FSO systems. The principle as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each improvement method will be analyzed. In addition, we outline some future research challenges and opportunities.","PeriodicalId":333572,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2014)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134458950","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}

Interference alignment (IA) is recently known as an emerging technique to obtain the maximum total degree of freedom. Finding the transceiver matrices for perfect IA is mathematically challenging since the interference alignment problems are highly nonlinear and nonconvex. Interference leakage minimization and signal to noise plus interference ratio (SINR) maximization methods were developed to suppress the interference from the undesired users. However, most of previous works commonly assume that the equal power is allocated to each user and each stream. In this paper, we develop an iterative optimization algorithm to optimize power allocation to each stream. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm offers a higher sum-rate than the interference leakage minimization method.","PeriodicalId":333572,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2014)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121034541","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}

Input impedance and radiation characteristics of the antenna are fully investigated over a broad frequency range up to 5.0 THz. The results show that the lens shape represented by the ratio of the extension length to the lens radius primarily determines the best possible antenna gain and radiation spectral bandwidth. The antenna gain response exhibits an increased level of sensitivity to the lens shape as the lens size increases, and this is particularly important when it comes to optimizing large substrate lenses.","PeriodicalId":333572,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2014)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125005844","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}

Globally Asynchronous, Locally Synchronous (GALS) approach addresses these challenges by dividing a chip into several independent subsystems working with different clock signals. In multi-synchronous Network-on-Chip (NoC) based on GALS architecture, the network routers run with different frequencies, so the problem is how to transfer data safely and efficiently between them. In order to build a synchronization unit to tackle this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel efficient asynchronous First-In-First-Out architecture targeting to multi-synchronous NoCs. Token ring structure, register-based memory, and modified Asynchronous Assertion - Synchronous De-assertion techniques are applied to improve the performance of the proposed asynchronous FIFO. After simulating and verifying the design, we have implemented our asynchronous FIFO architecture with CMOS 180nm technology from AMS. Implementation results are analyzed and compared with previous works to show the strong points of our design.","PeriodicalId":333572,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2014)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121596390","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 this work, we propose a CSS to mitigate impact of SU interference and maintain robust sensing. After discussing the reality that spectrum sensing in TV band could suffer SU interference, we describe a sensing scenario that truly exists. Under the scenario, sensing is conducted by IEEE 802.22 standard compliant devices for detecting TV signal in an area with some other heterogeneous SU networks, such as IEEE 802.11af network, operating in nearby. The proposed CSS is conducted by selected sensors and detects instant power change between two consecutive sensing durations. Computer simulation is conducted to verify novelty of the proposed CSS in mitigating impact of noise uncertainty and SU interference.","PeriodicalId":333572,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2014)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121869441","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}
