The scheduler performs the dual task of scheduling the users experiencing high channel gains to minimize the energy consumption while at the same time, it takes into account the maximum allowed buffer length of each user to provide an upper bound on the maximum tolerable delay. The idea of a threshold depending on the buffer occupancy is proposed to schedule the users opportunistically unless the deadline for transmission is reached. A maximum delay guarantee is provided in the proposed scheme in addition to average delay guarantee at almost no additional energy cost. The results show that multilevel recursive optimization can minimize energy subject to maximum bounded delay for schedulers that empty the buffer.","PeriodicalId":334589,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123032524","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 future there will be a large number of RFID tags attached to objects and persons and dense deployment of the RFID readers, which will be interconnected in reader networks. The performance of the reading of such large volumes of tags requires efficient arbitration protocols for resolving the collisions among the tags that attempt to send information to the reader network. In this paper we introduce a framework for arbitration protocols that makes provisions for cooperative arbitration performed by the network of readers. We introduce the notion of arbitration space, which is a generalization of the recently recently introduced framework for collision resolution with running multiplicity estimation. The usefulness of the concept of arbitration space is illustrated through several examples. The presented ideas on generalized arbitration space set interesting directions for future work.","PeriodicalId":334589,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130305040","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}

Considering discrete complex input alphabets, the transmitter is assumed to comprise a linear front-end combined with nonlinear precoding, that minimizes the transmit energy penalty imposed by the linear front-end. The energy penalty is minimized by relaxing the input alphabet to a larger alphabet set prior to precoding. The so-called \"replica method\" of statistical physics is employed to derive the limiting empirical distribution of the precoder's output, as well as the limiting energy penalty. Particularizing to a \"zero-forcing\" (ZF) linear front-end, and non- cooperative users, a decoupling result is derived according to which the channel observed by each of the individual receivers can be characterized by the Markov chain u-x-y, where u is the channel input, x is the equivalent precoder output, and y is the channel output. A comparative spectral efficiency analysis of two illustrative examples reveals significant performance gains compared to linear ZF precoding in the medium to high Et/No region. In particular, we demonstrate that convex extended alphabets, amenable to efficient energy minimization algorithms, provide an attractive alternative to alphabets based on the discrete Gaussian integer lattice, for which the energy minimization problem is NP-hard.","PeriodicalId":334589,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121666584","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 a GNSS receiver the measure of C/N0 is not only a measure of the strength of the received signal, but is also used to determine the lock condition of the carrier and tracking loops and to control the channel scheduling. This paper investigates the possibility of implementing various low complexity C/N0 estimators, properly adapted from the digital communications world. After a theoretical analysis, the performance of such estimation techniques are assessed through both simulated and real GPS signals.","PeriodicalId":334589,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128054734","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 beamforming weights are computed in a distributed manner at each transmit sector antenna array without the need for inter-sector communication. The beamforming weights are chosen to compromise between maximizing the power to the served user from each sector while minimizing the interference caused to users served in adjacent sectors. The extensions of this method for variable levels of channel state information feedback and multiple receiver antennas are introduced. Beamforming codebooks with power variations across antennas are presented. We show how users can additionally feed back the fraction of interference caused by each interfering sector to incorporate the urgency of interference avoidance into the transmitter optimization.","PeriodicalId":334589,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127981813","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}
