Context-aware applications must adapt to the environment in which they are inserted, and, for this, information on both device's hardware and the characteristics of the environment is crucial. In this work, we propose a method - called natural adaptive exponential smoothing (NAES) - to describe and forecast, in real time, the channel behavior of IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks. The NAES method uses a variation of the exponential smoothing technique to compute the channel quality indicators, namely the received signal strength (RSS) and the link quality. A comparison with the results obtained by the Trigg and Leach (1967)(TL) method shows that NAES outperforms TL method.","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116598305","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 the forward link of an OFDMA network, each traffic and control channel within a frame must be allocated power, bandwidth (number of subcarriers) and time (number of OFDMA symbols) resources. This flexibility is one of the advantages of OFDMA but requires more sophisticated resource management than third generation networks. In this paper we focus on the power and bandwidth allocation problems for the downlink. The power allocated to a channel can be varied continuously however the bandwidth allocation must be provided in discrete units (number of subcarriers). For some applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP), the bandwidth allocation is fixed and closed loop power control is used to maintain the required frame error rate (FER). In this paper we demonstrate that by varying resources in the bandwidth dimension in addition to the power dimension one can increase the efficiency of the system. We demonstrate the gains through illustrative examples and propose a practical algorithm for achieving these gains","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122359583","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}

Since IEEE802.15.4 ZigBee and IEEE802.11b WLAN share the same 2.4 GHz ISM band, WLAN causes severe interference to ZigBee devices due to higher transmission power in a large bandwidth of 22 MHz.

In the light of our results, we propose that multimedia transmission to mobile and wireless devices should be made based on pre-defined profiles, which contains a combination of static (perceptual, device type, CPU speed, and display specifications) and dynamic information (streamed content type location of the device/user, context of the device/user).

These components are used to generate the complex channel samples that evolve with time, but the position of the mobile remains constant, this is known as quasi motion simulation. As the SCM proposes an independent set of channel parameters (powers, delays, angles of departure, and angles of arrival) per mobile, the current model is spatially incoherent, that is, two spatial positions having a small Euclidean distance have widely different channel parameters. This paper proposes a method to introduce spatial coherence to SCM to make it suitable for full-motion simulations. At the same time, the model is well suited for the evaluation of multi-antenna schemes like space division multiple access (SDMA) where modeling of off-beam interference is important. Also, the introduction of spatial coherence does not affect the extension of SCM for wider bandwidths.","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124109968","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}
