Therefore, the output signal distortion of the radio repeater, which is caused by the multipath channel between the repeaterpsilas input antenna and a base station, is not properly compensated. In this paper, a scheme to compensate for the output signal distortion in conventional ICAN repeaters is proposed. The compensation is performed by estimating the input multipath channel, inverting the estimated channel, and compensating the input signal using the inverted channel prior to feedback signal cancellation. The validity of the proposed scheme is confirmed by showing that the output signal quality of a conventional ICAN repeater is considerably improved by this scheme.","PeriodicalId":429449,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134185164","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}

By using the proposed method, in order to recognize the ON-point time period of the ZEDpsilas RF receiver, the parent node does not receive a data request periodically from the ZED. Therefore, the network traffic between the ZED and the parent node is reduced. This method is used to transmit the data efficiently and reliably. Based on the current ZigBee stack application support sub-layer (APS), we present the ZigBee end device data transmission (ZEDDT) method. The simulation results by Network Simulator-2 (NS2) are included in order to demonstrate the validity and the usefulness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":429449,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126105620","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 hardware platform consist of a single S3C2410 ARM which its operation speed is 200 MHz, three TMS320C6416T DSPs which has a 1GHz clock, a single Stratix II EP2S60F672C5 FPGA which has 900 K gates and two two-channel ADCs and DACs which can support up to 125 MHz sampling rate. The embedded Linux 2.4 is ported on the ARM and the DSP has a transmitter and receiver and two more receivers. There are two DSPs in the receiver to support diverse signal processing algorithms which is required in the next generation communication system receiver. The FIR filter is implemented for over/down-sampling and to eliminate the harmonic elements and the aliasing in the FPGA. Also the host and client USB, RS232 for serial communication and 10 Mbps LAN for TCP/IP communication are contained for external interface. We implement IEEE 802.11a PHY part to verify the effectiveness of the embedded platform architecture.

Of course, the design depends on the mobility pattern and delay tolerance as in highly mobile environments, exchange of control signaling bears a huge cost whereas for fixed (non-mobile) networks, the designer can dedicate a fraction of the rate (which is negligible in terms of overhead) to optimize the system. One of the big challenges is to find how to optimally split the intelligence between cognitive terminals and cognitive networks. In this paper, we discuss the challenges ahead and provide some research directions to develop the theoretical foundations of these networks.","PeriodicalId":429449,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127965028","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 present a new approach to energy-efficient, distributed clustering in WSNs using the recent modeling and computational methodology of factor graphs and message-passings. We first formulate the sensor clustering as an optimization problem that minimizes the total data transmission cost weighted by node residual energy. We then derive simplified, localized, min-sum recursive message-passing rules which can elect a near-optimal set of cluster heads. We show through simulations that the proposed algorithm quickly achieves a good approximation of the minimum cost found by a centralized algorithm, and effectively prolongs the network lifetime compared to a popular sensor clustering algorithm.","PeriodicalId":429449,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131560353","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}

These affects must be taken into accounts in satellite link design and operation. This talk describes the effects and techniques to quantify and alleviate the effects. Sun transit causes satellite link outage and occurs when the pointing angles from the receive earth station to the satellite and to the sun are so nearly coincident that additional noise power presented by the sun causes the demodulator to operate below its Eb/No-threshold. In general a sun transit outage cannot be avoided and occurs around the spring and fall equinoxes for a few minutes a day and for several days; its occurrence, however, can be predicted in advance with an accuracy of less than a minute by the Vuong & Forsey technique. Rainfall attenuates and depolarizes the carrier; it also raises the antenna temperature of a receive earth station. Its affects are more pronounced at Ku-band and higher frequencies, at heavy rain zones such as Vietnam and at low elevation angles. Rain attenuation statistics can be predicted from various models with the most popular ones being ITU's and Crane's. The combined effects of uplink rainfall and downlink rainfall to a satellite communication link can be estimated accurately and simply by the Vuong & Vuong technique. Rainfall affects can be alleviated through design satellite links with high link margins, use of ALC (automatic level control) available with a satellite transponder, UPC (uplink power control) which can be equipped to a transmit earth station, adaptive data rate or adaptive FEC (forward error correction) coding rate, among others.","PeriodicalId":429449,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130970027","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}
