In this paper, we perform the capacity evaluation for MUD with non-uniform chip-level signaling and observe that MUD complexity can be greatly reduced by trading-off some proportion of the full MUD channel capacity. This trade-off between the MUD channel capacity and the MUD complexity can be used to improve performance of CDMA systems. Consequently, we present simulation results illustrating that by selecting appropriate non-uniform chip probabilities, our considered CDMA system can achieve a good throughput and great reduction in multi-user interference and MUD implementation complexity.","PeriodicalId":343966,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Biennial Symposium on Communications (QBSC)","volume":"59 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133486752","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}

To analytically evaluate the proposed detector, focusing on the single-relay case with a direct source-destination link, we derive an exact expression of the bit-error rate (BER) for binary FSK in Rayleigh fading.

We discuss the implementation of the proposed scheme and discuss an emulated-based experimental study to evaluate PR's performance. The results show that PR outperforms exact-repair Minimum Bandwidth Regenerating (exact-MBR) network coding in terms of complexity and repair traffic overhead.

In this paper, Min-Sum and Min-Sum with correction factor algorithms are reviewed and adapted with TS-LDPC codes for future analog VLSI implementation. Simulation results show that the error performance of the Min-Sum algorithm is comparable with the Sum-Product algorithm for the same block length. This means that the lower error floor property of TS-LDPC codes is preserved when MS algorithms are used. Moreover, analog decoder implementation of TS-LDPC codes is studied. To test the suitability of the MS algorithm based TS-LDPC decoder some analog impairments such as mismatch, leakage and noise are considered in the decoding procedure of TS-LDPC codes. In each case, it is shown that the degradation of the error performance of TS-LDPC codes due to analog impairments is negligible. Therefore, it can be concluded that the analog decoder of the TS-LDPC code using MS algorithm is fairly robust against analog imperfections and may be considered in future implementation of analog VLSI decoder.","PeriodicalId":343966,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Biennial Symposium on Communications (QBSC)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376758","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}

With the local observation and control using surrounding spectrum-related information, an individual cognitive sensor node can effectively perform the spectrum sharing with LCS-UF and LCS-MMF.

It transmits one OFDM subcarrier per each sub-channel. Before starting its transmission, a primary user sends a beacon to inform the secondary user. If the secondary user receives this message, it does not use any sub-channel from that primary user band for its transmission in order to limit the interference to the primary receiver. However, it is possible that the secondary user misses the beacon of a primary user because of the channel fading and hence, considers the sub-channels of that primary user for its transmission. We are interested in the total interference caused by the secondary user to primary users' receivers and the total capacity of the secondary user. In particular, we provide the average of total interference as well as an analytical lower bound on the mean of the capacity. The trade-off between the capacity and the interference is useful in the design of an OFDM-based cognitive network with beacon.","PeriodicalId":343966,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Biennial Symposium on Communications (QBSC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130397529","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}

Therefore, congestion is very high especially with the increasing use of similar and other wireless technologies in this band. The IEEE802.11n [3] standard operates using both the 2.4GHz and the less congested 5GHz frequency band. Some of the deficiencies of using the 5GHz are penetration issues and coverage area. In this paper, we propose a multi-band scheme that is capable of dynamically switches between the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz frequency bands based on the operating environment. The metric we use in the switching operation is the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). We validate our work by real implementations and experiments.
