Ad hoc networks are formed when devices with wireless communications capabilities spontaneously connect and exchange information packets. Typically, in wireless ad hoc networks, nodes estimate their position relative to their neighbors by processing the location information in conjunction with the certain physical properties of the signals they receive, such as signal strength, bit error rate, or time difference of arrival. Unfortunately, widely used low-cost infrared transmitters and receivers for indoor applications do not allow measurement of these properties easily. To overcome this, we have developed a system which relies only on the reception of a data frame and is capable of estimating the angular direction of the infrared signal source within an error margin of +/- 5 degrees. Then, through the application of triangulation, a node estimates its relative position with respect to its neighbors. One effective method of translating a relative position to an absolute one is to use anchor nodes. These nodes broadcast their exact location. Each receiving node then progressively fixes its position and broadcasts the position updates, leading to the entire network localizing itself. A major drawback of this approach arises in large networks, where the average hop distance between an anchor and ordinary nodes is large, and position estimation errors inevitably start to accumulate. In order to alleviate this problem, we have developed the Anchor Hop Distance Weighted Localization (AHDWL) algorithm to selectively weigh position estimates at each hop. We found that the AHDWL algorithm is very effective in reducing propagation of positioning errors.","PeriodicalId":375669,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122515948","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 DS scheme is based on ecological self-organization where BSs are dynamically reconfigured based on their tempo-spatial traffic diversity. The compatibility of CoMP and DS is explored and improved upon independent DS energy savings by 10%. Sector switching patterns are examined and their relationship between energy savings defined. Furthermore, the bit rate of boundary User Equipment (UE) is explored. Previously when utilizing DS without CoMP, boundary UEs that required high bit rates would limit the effectiveness of the DS scheme due to the large number of Resource Blocks (RB) required for their transmission. However, by utilizing CoMP joint transmission, an underserved boundary UE can attain sustained bit rates by sharing transmission responsibilities between neighboring BSs. This effectively allows RB allocation to be exchanged from a loaded BS to a neighboring unloaded BS. When the exchange is based on minimizing the initial BS's load factor, the DS sector switching can be invoked. This allows for decreased energy consumption but increased or sustained boundary UE bit rate.","PeriodicalId":375669,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126392799","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 key idea is to cast femtocells' clustering as an evolutionary game, where the femtocells independently switch to less interfered clusters. Within each cluster, we design a non-cooperative game to implement power control in the absence of centralized coordination.

In frequency division duplex multiple input multiple output systems, channel state information is extracted through channel feedback mechanism which is not easy to implement due to the fact that the feedback overhead is critical with so many antennas. However, large scale antenna arrays may introduce correlation elements into channel state information due to the limit of the base station size. Therefore, we propose a wavelet compression based channel feedback protocol aiming to reduce the feedback load by exploiting the correlation features among large scale antenna arrays. We take a point-to-point massive multiple input multiple output system into consideration, and both Jakes correlation model and exponential correlation model are applied to make the numerical simulations and verify the performance of the proposed wavelet compression based feedback scheme.","PeriodicalId":375669,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126864512","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}

Also, the joint design of channel equalizer and decoder can provides great advantages for system performance. However, research on the soft output of an ANN-based equalizer still remains largely open. Towards this end, this paper proposes an accurate soft information characterization for an ANN-based channel equalizer, which is crucial for the joint development of equalization and decoding. Particularly, we focus on the functional link ANN (FLANN)-based channel equalizer. By adopting the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, we find that the error signal of a FLANN-based equalizer is not Gauss, which would pose a challenge to the calculation of the soft information. We use the mix-Gauss distribution to model the error signal, and accordingly the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) from a FLANN-based equalizer is derived. We also give insight into the mix-Gauss model that one component stands for the channel noise and another component stands for the noise caused by the equalizer, which may shed some lights on the optimization of a FLANN-based equalizer.","PeriodicalId":375669,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"49 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114003990","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 paper, we evaluated the PUMA routing protocol performance using the Manhattan Mobility Model with the effect of the Nakagami fading distribution in VANET. We also analyse the average node distribution in the tagged vehicle communication range using Poisson distribution. We use the NS 2.34 and VanetMobiSim for the simulation and evaluation of the performance. The performance results will be analyzed by varying the traffic parameters in the Manhattan mobility model from low to high traffic condition. The simulation result shows that the communication range under the Nakagami fading distribution affected the Quality of Service (QoS) in VANET.
