In Ricean channels, there is a signal-to-noise ratio-dependent critical data rate below which signaling with zero outage is possible. The link will be more reliable the higher this critical data rate is. We present results of spectral efficiency and outage probability from channel sounder measurements of V2V MIMO radio channels in the 5.2 GHz band. Our results show that MIMO channels with higher spatial correlation lead to lower ergodic capacity and a reduced critical data rate. However, for fixed output power the temporal evolution of the ergodic capacity and critical data rate shows that the channel with the strongest line of sight (LoS)component also has the highest capacity.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130095766","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}

This motivates a substantial redesign of the algorithms and techniques of the underwater data transfer concerning both physical and data link layers, especially concerning the development of underwater acoustic sensor networks. The recent studies of underwater acoustic sensor networks have caused the appearance of a variety of data link and network layers protocols intended to solve particular tasks for various types of networks. In this paper, we present a new media channel access protocol architecture combining two media access algorithms for the transfer of different data types, notably burst data and short instant messages, in order to provide the network layer with additional capabilities to solve problems in a wider range.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131287474","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, topology control based approaches are proposed, serving the purpose of adding communication links in a multi-hop network in an intelligent and effective manner. Through analysis and simulation, we demonstrate how the proposed methods decrease the average path length between randomly selected node pairs and properly scale the clustering coefficient of a multi-hop network, by exploiting social structure characteristics of small-world networks, thus allowing the development of more demanding services on top of wireless multi- hop networks.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116845274","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 particular, a sub-set of cluster nodes will access, through their cellular link, parts of a file to be exchanged among all cluster members. The paper focus is on the \"source election\" issue. The novelty of the research lies in the main problem constraints, which make it far different from (and more exacting than) traditional cluster head election problems: the source number can cover the whole range of nodes and all the nodes must be considered data destinations. We propose a source election algorithm, only based on the knowledge of the number of nodes, which is fast in converging to either the optimal or, alternatively, a satisfactory sub-optimal solution. In so doing, we exploit a performing genetic algorithm. Its observed behaviour makes us confident that the followed approach can be the winning one in conditions of null/limited awareness of node position and type of relevant available cellular links.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126974237","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}

Secondary user (SU) usually operates in a low power profile to avoid interference with the PU and sudden appearance of a PU causes loss of data of the SU. Appropriate erasure correction coding (also called as anti-jamming coding) is, thus, required to maintain the reliability of the link. In this paper, we propose the random linear coding (RLC), which is commonly used in network coding, to be used as an anti-jamming scheme. We also propose a variant of RLC anti-jamming scheme that requires reduced complexity decoding. The throughput of both the proposed schemes is analyzed and it is shown that high throughput can be obtained at the expense of very small redundancy by carefully selecting the Galois field size.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116577162","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 two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel is considered. We assume that the transmission bandwidth of the CU is wider than that of the PU, and the spectrum of the PU is called victim band. Because of the unequal transmission bandwidth, the sampling rates of the two users are not necessarily equal. Two sources of interferences are considered in the alignment. One source is the spatial interference from different antennas of the CU. The other source is the intercarrier interference (ICI) from the un-victim band of CU to the victim band of PU. An active antenna of the cognitive user is used to align with the spatial interference from the other antennas of the cognitive user and ICI such that the interference to the PU is nullified. The simulation shows that the scheme creates a greater than -200dB notch on the transmission spectrum of the victim band. This scheme allows the CU to utilize the victim band simultaneously with the PU and leads to underlay cognitive radio transmission. We also present a successive interference cancellation scheme at the cognitive receiver to detect the signal within the victim band. The error performance at the cognitive receiver of this underlay cognitive radio system is presented as well.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133590178","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}

Unlike previously considered dynamic spectrum access (DSA) proposals, DSL allows for the spectrum owner, called the primary user, to dynamically adjust the amount of interference it is willing to tolerate from secondary users. In response, the secondary users update their transmit powers to maximize a suitably chosen reward function. In previous work, it has been shown that the best response adaptations will converge to a unique Nash equilibrium under the assumptions of a quasi-static channel conditions and for a fixed number of secondary users. In this paper, we investigate the convergence and equilibrium performance of the proposed DSL-game in the presence of slow time-varying fading and time-varying secondary system size. Our results show that while the DSL best response adaptation algorithm is reasonably robust against these dynamics, there is a trade-off between performance and the CSI update rate.","PeriodicalId":422951,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"126 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114011732","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}
