As FBMC-OQAM is a multi-carrier technique, it suffers from the high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and directly applying the PAPR reduction schemes proposed for OFDM to FBMC-OQAM turns out to be ineffective, due to its overlapping structure. In this paper, a scheme named as Dispersive Selective Mapping (DSLM) is proposed, which is an extended and generalized version of Overlapped Selective Mapping (OSLM). Simulation results show that performance of this method is very closely trailing to that of OFDM.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129590095","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}

First of all, using the Geometrically Based Stochastical Channel Model adapted to Body Area Networks, the channel parameters were analysed. On average, the difference between the maximum and minimum values of path loss from different wearable antennas and external receiver is equal to 23 dB. Moreover, the capacity of the system is studied, and the application of bit-and-power loading schemes in MISO-OFDM systems is presented. Depending on the body position in the street, the average data rate varies in [2, 5.5] bps/Hz.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127065475","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 paper introduces an Edgeworth expansion in terms of log-cumulants, which are the analogous to cumulants for the Second Kind statistics.

In this regard, precoding in multiuser-multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) downlink systems is a prominent example. In frequency division duplex, channel observations are quantized and fed back via the uplink, protected by an error correction code. The quantization resolution together with the code strength correspond to a certain amount of feedback bits. For a limited number of uplink signaling resources, there is a trade-off between investing bits for increasing the quantization resolution or for improving the error correction capability. While existing feedback schemes use a fixed quantization resolution, this work proposes a scheme which finds the optimal number of quantization bits for minimizing the channel uncertainty at the transmitter. Simulation results verify the proposed solution and apply it to precoded transmission in a MU-MIMO downlink system.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129033887","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 clear trend in the growth of traffic demand suggests that spectrum scarcity will be a serious threat to reach the capacity needs in the near future. Looking for more available spectrum, regulators have already begun to study secondary assignments in licensed bands, based on the recent cognitive network paradigm. In this context, we focus our work in the analysis of optimum spectrum allocation mechanisms. We introduce a stochastic model to formulate the problem, considering primary users' activity and a periodically scheduled assignment scheme. To solve the problem we propose a novel robust solution, which we argue is superior to an expectation based approach, comparing both alternatives through extensive simulations.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"54 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123220913","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 requires experimental testing for realistic performance evaluation and design tuning. However, experimental testing of large-scale wireless networks using hardware testbeds is usually very hard to perform due to the need for collecting and monitoring the performance metrics data for multiple sensor nodes all at the same time, especially the node's energy consumption data. On the other hand, pure simulation testing may not accurately replicate the real-life scenarios, especially those parameters that are related to the wireless signal behavior in special environments. Therefore, this work attempts to close this gap between experimental and simulation testing. This paper presents a scalable simulation testbed that attempts to mimic our previously designed small-scale hardware testbed for wireless multimedia sensor networks by tuning the simulation parameters to match the real-life measurements obtained via experimental testing. The proposed simulation testbed embeds the JPEG and JPEG2000 image compression algorithms and potentially allows for network-controlled image compression and transmission decisions. The simulation results show very close match to the small-scale experimental testing as well as to the hypothetical large-scale extensions that were based on the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126007131","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 multi-antenna relay and the single-antenna relay nodes employ the decode-remodulate-and-forward and amplify-and-forward protocols, respectively.
