It is shown that the effects of multipath fading channel at the mobile receiver can be mitigated by properly designing of the filters based on the use of channel information. In order to compensate the effect of feedback delay (which is inherently present in FDD systems), a linear prediction of channel coefficients is used in the system to design the terminal filters for the current slot transmission. From the simulation results, it is shown that our proposed method performs better than that of MMSE equalizer, RAKE receiver with transmit filter (FIR-RAKE).","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116453371","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 introduction of real time communication has created additional challenges in this area with different communication constraints. Since sensor networks represent a new generation of time-critical applications, it is often necessary for communication to meet real time constraints. However, research dealing with providing QoS guarantees for real time traffic in sensor networks is still immature. To provide guaranteed QoS in WSN, this paper presents a novel analytical model based on limited service polling discipline. The proposed model implements two queues in a sensor node which are being served according to round robin service. The model is based on M/D/l queueing system (a special class of M/G/l queueing systems), which takes into account two different classes of traffic in a sensor node. The exact queueing delay in a sensor node for corresponding classes is calculated. Further, the analytical results are validated through an extensive simulation study.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129156041","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}

Design complexity increases with data rate in SCC. Multi-carrier based wireless communication reduces channel fading by sub-dividing the channel into a number of equal narrow bands, in which inter symbol interference (ISI) and inter carrier interference (ICI) effects cause bit error. Recently, a mechanism has been proposed to mitigate these interferences by cyclically shuffling the sub-carrier frequency and using CI (Carrier Interferometry) code to each sub-carrier. We attempt here to compute the cross-correlation between the sub-carriers to observe the proper orthogonality conditions. We also compute the cross-correlation between the present and previously transmitted symbols to find the orthogonality condition effect. Finally, the authors compute the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the frequency-shuffled CI/OFDM modulation system to observe its effectiveness for safety of the signal processing devices in the receiver.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134295454","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 draft amendment of IEEE 802.11e includes a Simple Scheduler, in which a fixed length of TXOPs is assigned according to mean data rates. Since some traffic present bursts of variable size, several enhancements have been proposed previously; e.g., TXOPs are allocated according to the actual buffered data which is indicated through transmissions performed in the previous TXOP. Though the allocations are efficient in channel utilization, a delay could inevitably be incurred by packets, due to that new arrivals cannot be transmitted in the current TXOP, but have to wait until next. In this paper, an efficient scheduling scheme is proposed that aims at improving packet delay while maintaining high channel utilization. In the proposed scheme, maximal residual bandwidth is assigned to a station taking into account demands from all the other stations, and the unused portion is reclaimed. From extensive simulation results, it is shown that packet delay is effectively improved, compared to two previous enhancements of the Simple Scheduler, while achieving high throughput performance.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114586182","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 basic properties based on theoretical analysis as well as simulation studies have been done to evaluate the performance of this technique based on the signal energy and symbol error rate (SER). In this paper the performance of absolute polar duty cycle division multiplexing is compared with multilevel M-ary as well as with the time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques.

Infrared diffuse communication provides high speed data transmission which is more economic then traditional fiber optic systems. Moreover it provides greater security than its counter part, i.e. radio frequency wireless communication, mainly due to its confined illumination. However the infrared wireless communication is not employed due to power limitations, alignment problems and performance degradation under severe weather conditions. In such conditions MIMO based signal processing techniques derived on parallels from wireless communication can be employed to provide better performance. In this paper we present a novel design for more reliable transmission. The proposed design is base on rate 1/2 Orthogonal Coding Scheme in combination with Virtual Fragmentation. Furthermore we discuss the cross layer architecture where by channel knowledge can be exploited by upper layers in order to efficiently decode the data, hence adapting to the channel conditions.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133197200","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}
