The objectives are to find how the scarce radio spectrum allocated to different services is utilized in Singapore and identify the bands that could be accessed for future opportunistic use due to their low or no active utilization. The results from the spectrum measurements taken over 12 weekday periods reveal that a significant amount of spectrum in Singapore has very low occupancy all the time. The occupancy is quantified as the amount of spectrum detected above a certain received power threshold. The outcome of this study suggests that Singapore has a great potential for employing emerging spectrum sharing technology such as the cognitive radio technology to accommodate enormous demands for future wireless services. However, this study of spectrum survey is preliminary in its nature and future long term studies need to be performed to determine any potential secondary usage on those channels that have low or no active utilization.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115442750","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}

Communication signals are directly generated and adapted according to medium properties without a modulator stage. Receivers recognize signal patterns from a chosen frequency band. These patterns are matched to respecting data sequence within a glossary to recover the information. Our purpose is increasing the bandwidth efficiency via manageable signal to noise ratio. Error free recoverability of the information encoded and carried by multiple pattern combinations in a noisy communication channel is the key factor for this purpose. A pattern based encoding and neural network based decoding technique is used in this study. It is shown that if the predefined communication patterns are appropriately chosen then the transmitted information by multiple sources can be decoded by the receivers in the same time interval, frequency band and location.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116974687","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 correlated-Weibull fading distribution is applied to characterize the propagation fading channel. Moreover, the assumption of CFO (carrier frequency offset) existing between subcarrier is other scenario considered in this paper. It is worthwhile noting that the system performance of an OFDM system with SC diversity is definitely dominated by transmission environments, that is, except fading parameters (of Weibull distribution) of fading statistics will be the most important reason to decide whether the system performance of an OFDM system is well or not, the CFO is another phaneoman affects the performance too.
