Specifically, the input and output of the nonlinear HPA are accessed in the feedback loop structure to obtain the Volterra kernel parameters using least mean square (LMS) and recursive least square (RLS) algorithms. Once the Volterra kernel is obtained and signals pass through the cascaded system of the predistorter and the HPA, overall linear system characteristics are achieved. The proposed method is non-parametric as it does not assume any specific model for the HPA and the signal structure. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified through computer simulations. The improvements in the reduction of out-of-band spectral regrowth and enhanced performance in terms of the bit error rate (BER) are documented for the traveling wave tube (TWT) HPA model","PeriodicalId":425107,"journal":{"name":"4th Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference (CNSR'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388091","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 the previous spectral polarization (SPC) scheme, the entire wavelength is assigned as vertical or horizontal state of polarization (SOP), respectively. In current study, we assign positive (+), negative (-), and nothing chip (0) value on individual wavelengths allocation to realize the specified orthogonal ternary sequence which transformed from original bipolar Walsh-Hadamard matrix. The motivation of this manner is to reduce the phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) resulting from the wavelengths collision on photo-detector. It is shown that wavelength collision can be decreased and PIIN noise is also reduced at photo-detector. Neglecting the effects of shot noise and thermal noise, and considering only phase-induced intensity-noise with a degree of polarization setting of P=0 for the ideal case, the bit error rate versus the number of simultaneous active users is approximately improved by 40% and 100% compared to the previous spectral polarization coding and complementary spectral amplitude coding (SAC) for a 10-9 error probability, respectively","PeriodicalId":425107,"journal":{"name":"4th Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference (CNSR'06)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126504812","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}

Nodes in a MANET are free to move and organize themselves in an arbitrary fashion. Energy-efficient design is a significant challenge due to the characteristics of MANETs such as distributed control constantly changing network topology, and mobile users with limited power supply. The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol includes a power saving mechanism. However; it has many limitations. A new energy-efficient MAC protocol (EE-MAC) is proposed in this paper. This protocol elects master nodes which keep awake and act as a network backbone to transfer data. The other (stave) nodes sleep to conserve energy and wake up periodically to communicate with the masters. To balance energy consumption, a rotation mechanism of masters and slaves is used. It is shown that EE-MAC performs better titan IEEE 802.11 power saving mode and exceeds IEEE 802.11 with respect to balancing network throughput and energy savings. The performance of EE-MAC is considered with respect to network load, node density and network mobility","PeriodicalId":425107,"journal":{"name":"4th Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference (CNSR'06)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127426934","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 densities of sensor nodes ore determined by solving an optimization problem which maximizes the coverage percentage under the constraints that the traffic loads among sensor nodes at different distances are equal. Simulations are performed by using the proposed algorithm accompanied with energy-efficient clustering and gradient-based routing algorithms.
