This strategy is implemented for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with channel state information (CSI) feedback. Low density parity check (LDPC) codes are utilized for encoding by employing signal-to noise ratio (SNR) dependent coding rates, as well as distinct modulation schemes to achieve adaptivity to time-varying channel conditions. The performance of the proposed system was tested on Rayleigh fading channels that exhibit frequency coherent bands. Numerical results obtained via simulation demonstrate that the throughput of the proposed system and bit error rate (BER) performance are better than previously suggested approaches.","PeriodicalId":409336,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122279734","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 two different cases, either with single packet or with two packets routing within the node, the effect of buffering capability is studied in such networks. The results have confirmed that with additional hardware cost in buffering, the performance can be enhanced as that in the original binary routing Data Vortex networks. While buffering based on single packet routing allows for modest performance improvement, buffering based on two packets routing allows for much better latency and throughput performance compared with buffer-less networks, and such improvement is also more significant than the performance enhancement in binary decoding Data Vortex networks with the same buffering capabilities.","PeriodicalId":409336,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116664464","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 first study the self similarity of the empirically aggregated VoIP traffic in a heterogeneous wireless network testbed environment and then model it using Fractional Gaussian Noise (fGn). The heterogeneity of the environment is provided by exploiting different wireless technologies in backbone and access networks. The backbone of the testbed is IEEE 802.16d WiMAX whereas the access network is IEEE 802.11b WiFi mesh architecture. We evaluate the self similarity in terms of throughput and packet inter-arrival time using empirically captured VoIP calls generated by softphones in the laboratory. We prove the collected data’s self similar characteristics with stochastic analysis using autocorrelation functions. We implement three well-known time domain estimators to obtain Hurst values for both metrics. We also suggest the Fractional Gaussian Noise (fGn) Model for the empirically aggregated VoIP data. The self similarity analysis and modeling performed in this work will motivate new design issues on the quality of service frameworks and resources allocation mechanisms such as buffers in wireless heterogeneous networks.","PeriodicalId":409336,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129139962","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}

Our newly refined teleconference technique provides all of the features that previous teleconference systems provide, but our new approach consumes considerably less data bandwidth than previous systems require.
