Consequently, a subcarrier allocation algorithm with low computational complexity and satisfactory performance in almost all cases of interest is developed. The significance of channel v.s. queue state information with respect to various statistical properties of packet arrival processes is explored through extensive simulations.

This paper discusses the feasibility of downlink transmission with the maximum modulation level of 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), using the received signal level and throughput under the measurement condition of the maximum modulation level of 64 QAM. The feasibility study results show that 256 QAM yields a higher downlink throughput than 64 QAM within coverage of 1.2 km when the base-station antenna height is 84 m. The results are validated by evaluating the downlink throughput performance in the field trial under the measurement condition of the maximum modulation level of 256 QAM. It is considered that 256 QAM is feasible to provide a mobile broadband data communication service to subscribers in an urban area.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131411462","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}

It is a well known fact that the conventional code tracking loop suffers from performance degradation due to the presence of multipath. In past years, several advanced signal processing techniques have been devised to mitigate the multipath induced errors. One particular class of these signal processing techniques is the multi-correlator based feed-forward approach. The multipath performance of these feed-forward techniques has been extensively studied in open loop configuration by the authors in [1], [9]. The goal of this paper is to analyze the performance of these multi-correlator based feed-forward techniques in closed loop configuration, i.e., in the presence of an NCO and a loop filter, in multipath channels. Additionally, the delay tracking methods previously studied for BPSK and Sine BOC signals are also studied here with the newly proposed Multiplexed BOC modulation.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121398227","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}

Through component spectrum sharing, secondary users (SUs) are able to opportunistically access licensed spectrum shared with the primary system. In the literature, spectrum sharing is normally investigated on the basis of the assumption that the spectrum sensing is perfect. However, in reality, the spectrum sensing can not be ideal, as demonstrated by two non-zero metrics, probability of misdetection and the probability of false alarm. In this paper, we focus on the interaction between spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing. In particular, we will study the optimization of cooperative spectrum sensing for achieving maximum spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks. A new percentage rule is proposed for the spectrum sensing cooperation, which is more generic than quantity-based rules and is applicable in both sparse and dense sensing scenarios. An analytical model is presented to analyze the spectrum sharing performance. Numerical examples are presented to show the optimal percentage of cooperating sensors in achieving maximum utilization, which simultaneously achieve minimum blocking probabilities. Results are also shown to explore the impact of key system parameters on the performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131242299","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 such a multihop network forwarders have forwarding duties but should, on the other hand, to spend as much time as possible in an energy-saving deep-sleep mode. In this work we explore decentralized approach to organize the wake-up process of the forwarders with the aim to let them wakeup at “just the right time” to catch an incoming packet, forward it and go quickly back to sleep mode. A key assumption for this work is that the forwarders do not know the traffic period beforehand, but they have to estimate the period and maintain their estimate over time. A key difficulty is that the period estimation and the scheduling of wakeup times will have to deal with jitter in the packet inter-arrival times. If a packet arrives before the forwarder wakes up, it is lost. This opens up a tradeoff between loss rates and the sleeping activities of the forwarder: when the forwarder wakes up “early”, the packet loss rate will be low but the forwarder spends more energy, and vice versa. The main contributions of this report are the following ones: (a) we design and implement local estimators for traffic period and jitter; (b) we design and implement a scheduling scheme by which a forwarder locally decides when to sleep and when to wakeup; and (c) we adjoin mechanisms to this scheme that allow to update the period and jitter estimates and to react to changes in the locally observed loss rate. We use measurements and simulation to evaluate our proposed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":412079,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Wireless Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125584827","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}
