Hadamard matrices exist for orders equal to N=2^n, where n >= 1 and lead to square WHSTBCs with minimal delay. The structure of WHSTBCs allow for simple decoupling and decoding.

They claim to guarantee QoS support in terms of low delay and guaranteed throughput. However, with the availability of flat rate plans and bandwidth-hungry applications of future mobile devices the systems are facing a hard challenge in satisfying all demands at the same time in a traffic load situation which can best be characterized as total overload or full buffer. In this situation the basic voice service must still be operational to full Erlang capacity, no matter what load the data traffic offers. In this paper the hierarchical static priority scheduling scheme is used to accomplish the required separation. Candidate technologies like LTE-Advanced, WiMAX are based on OFDMA access which allows flexible radio resource allocation, but has an inherent near-far heterogeneity which leads to unfairness if it is optimized for spectral efficiency. Multi-hop relaying is one way to diminish the near-far problem, which is why it is an important part of the system concepts. The scheduling scheme is designed with this multihop capability in mind and results show that in heterogeneous scenarios a proportional fair substrategy achieves the desired fairness. To achieve QoS distinction a flow management must be provided in OSI layer two, so that flows of different classes can be treated separately. This paper treats the flow management concept for multi-hop mobile radio systems, a key enabling technology for QoS aware resource scheduling. It features the cross-layer signaling of QoS requirements by the Application Layer to the Data Link Layer.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130909267","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}

Although NBI can be suppressed by employing time-domain prediction error filter (PEF), its effectiveness is reduced due to the usage of guard band which interrupts the spectrum. This paper discusses this problem and proposes two methods to improve the efficiency of PEF in the presence of guard band. Simulations show that proposed methods outperform conventional PEF in the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Moreover, channel effect caused by PEF must be compensated before demodulation in OFDM system, which is also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131322202","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 base-stations of neighboring cells negotiate with each other to determine the best number of channels that should be allocated to their edge users. While cells optimize the allocated resources on a local level, the bargaining process acts as a common framework that combines the optimization results of different cells. The bargaining can be viewed as a dynamic reuse scheme where the number of edge bands are changed according to the optimization process. The result was a noticeable gain when compared to a static reuse of frequencies. We also introduce a joint scheme that associates the Nash bargaining with load balancing handovers.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131856756","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}

An approximate analytical formulation of the saturated throughput of a cognitive IEEE 802.15.3c MAC in the directional contention access period (D-CAP) in the presence of contention time allocation period (CTAP) is presented in this paper. The analytical framework is formulated for N devices, including the pico-net controller (PNC). The state transition diagram is modeled by a two-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain. One dimension of the Markov chain is for the backoff stage and the second dimension is for the value of the backoff counter. The saturated throughput is approximated by the product of a weighted ratio of the throughput of the regular sub-CAP (RS-CAP) and the throughput of the RS-CAP minus the period necessary to transmit a packet before the end of the current RS-CAP, the probability of the number of devices in a beam sector, the number of beam sectors and the probability of false alarm. Numerical results of the saturated throughput corresponding to typical parameter values are presented. These results show the advantage of the cognitive IEEE 802.15.3c MAC in the D-CAP using the single carrier mode when the number of devices in the WPAN is large.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115675007","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}

But the unreliability of broadcast transmission and the randomness of channel access in the IEEE 802.11p MAC hamper the collection process. Specifically, the process suffers from essentially a form of the classic Coupon Collector's Problem, where it takes longer and longer to obtain the remaining information. In this paper, we solve the problem by introducing the application-level acknowledgement of the safety beacons. We demonstrate that this optimization drastically reduces the collection completion time, eventually contributing to the safety and efficiency in WAVE- based systems.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115785743","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 focus is mainly on single carrier frequency division multiple access systems, and on removing the distortion created by adjacent users' power amplifier. It is assumed that the receiver has perfect knowledge of all the users' transmitter power amplifier nonlinearities. By relaxing the requirement on PA linearity at the mobile terminals, the PA power efficiency can be improved. The simulations show that by utilizing the successive interference cancelation technique, the require signal to noise ratio required to achieve 10^-3 symbol error rate is decreased by 3 - 4 dB. By using a clipped communication signal instead of backing off the power in the transmitter PA, we are able to improve the power added efficiency by 8 percentage points.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115888133","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 analyze the asymptotic bit error rate of general FS-Lp and SD-Lp detectors in independent identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. Our results are valid for all types of noise with finite moments including AWGN. We show that both FS-Lp and SD-Lp detectors achieve a diversity gain equal to the number of receive antennas independent of the metric parameter p and the type of noise. However, except for the conventional L2 case, the performances of FS-Lp and SD-Lp detectors are not identical and the performance differences may be several dB for large numbers of receive antennas. Also, our results show that p=2 is not optimal in non-Gaussian noise and L1 and Linfty detectors may result in large performance gains or degradations compared to L2 detectors depending on the type of noise.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114314336","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}
