Providing reliable communication for the SUs in CRNs requires elaborate considerations in various functionalities of the network. Here, a practical structure for the network is considered in which the cooperation among the SUs is taken into account to improve the reliability of the secondary data transmission on wireless fading channels. Furthermore, an efficient spectrum scheduling scheme is proposed which can effectively manage the data transmission for the SUs. A queueing framework is proposed to analyze the performance of the SUs in the network. Furthermore, the effects of spectrum sensing errors on the performance of the SUs are studied. The analytical results are also verified by simulations.","PeriodicalId":395644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA'15)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122587425","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}

Based on incremental best relay technique, the selected relay by the proposed algorithm is chosen to transmit only if the rely-to-destination link signal to noise ratio (SNR) is greater than the SNR of the source-destination. The proposed algorithm does not require cyclic redundancy check for error correction. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated in terms of bit error rate and outage probability for known and estimated channel. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with other existing schemes for relay selection. Channel estimation is performed by least square algorithm.

In this paper, two legitimate transmitters Alice and John cooperate to increase the reliable transmission rate received by their common legitimate receiver Bob, where one eavesdropper, Eve exists. We propose a distributed algorithm that allows the devices to select whether to cooperate or not and to adapt their optimal power allocation based on the cooperation framework selected.

Traditionally these PCs are selected using correlation map or some sort of statistical trial-error techniques. These techniques have the disadvantage of requiring the large PC set regardless of the workload type which is computationally burden when scaling number of cores in processor. In this paper, we use the more recent algorithm of least-angle regression to choose specific set of PCs for definite workload characteristic and validate its accuracy by thermal modeling. It include only those PCs most correlated with thermal behavior of workload. Such PCs are considered as signatures to predict workload characteristic and to apply specific thermal management action. The PC sets are trained and tested on model using workloads from the PARSEC and SPEC CPU 2006 benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":395644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA'15)","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123349169","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}

However, it is still challenging in LTE to provide the desired quality of service to the users particularly in the presence of high mobility and uplink feedback delay. In this paper, the impact of Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) uplink feedback delay on the overall network performance under different scheduling algorithms and mobility patterns is discussed.

Wavelet shrinkage denoising methods can efficiently reject the white noise embedded in the PD signal acquisition and measurement processes. The wavelet threshold determination is a key factor in the quality of noise suppression from signals. A novel threshold estimation technique, namely histogram-based threshold estimation (HBTE), is introduced to obtain the optimal level-dependent wavelet thresholds of noisy partial discharge signals. Unlike existing wavelet thresholding techniques, HBTE obtains two different threshold values for each wavelet subband. The proposed method is applied on measured PD signals at different noise levels. Experimental results show that the proposed thresholding approach outperforms the conventional threshold selection rules in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, cross correlation coefficient, root mean square error, and reduction in noise level.","PeriodicalId":395644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA'15)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127079696","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}

Antenna arrays and beamforming algorithms are typically used to improve system performance and noise immunity. For non-adaptive beamforming where signal-path gains remain unchanged, power dissipation is predictable but SNR and BER depend on the changing statistics of the received signals. On the other hand, in adaptive beamforming where signal-path gains are changed in real time according to the statistics of the received signals, the SNR is improved and BER is decreased, but power dissipation undergoes unpredictable transients during the gain adaptation process. Such transients are especially detrimental to battery-based power management systems in mobile applications. In this paper, we propose an FPGA-based methodology for the analysis, modeling and prediction of power dissipation in embedded array signal processing systems containing adaptive beamforming components. This FPGA-based methodology enables the exploration of the adaptive beamforming design space in terms of power, timing, overhead, arithmetic precision and computational resources. A distinct feature of this methodology is that it enables such design-space exploration in real-time and on actual received waveforms. We describe a specific implementation of this methodology using a hardware prototype based on Xilinx's Virtex 7 FPGA. We use this prototype to explore the design space of a four-channel Least-Mean-Squares (LMS) beamformer. The main result of this exploration is the selection of an adaptive algorithm design point that represents the best tradeoff between parameter convergence, machine precision and energy-efficiency for the embedded array signal processor.","PeriodicalId":395644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA'15)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114947326","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}
