We analyze the system performance over a spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channel with multiple access interference (MAI). Assuming perfect channel knowledge available at the transmitter, maximal ratio transmission (MRT) is employed to weight the transmitted signal optimally in terms of combating signal fading. Further, adaptive beamforming reception is adopted to suppress MAI and also to combat the fading. We examine the effect of varying the number of transmit and receive antennas on the diversity gain and interference suppression.","PeriodicalId":435910,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003.

These characteristics fit better the requirements of today's army and the needs of today's commercial world. Most of the applications that have been referred in the bibliography assume devices that are of finite power. The latter is true because of the existing technology (web enabled cell phones, PDAs, laptops, PPCs). The goal for ad hoc networks is to accommodate light weight, battery powered portable devices. Because of the finite power limitation, we have to design efficient ways to use the existing power. A first step towards efficient utilization of power is to eliminate its unnecessary usage wherever possible. For a networking device, significant part of power is consumed for communications and more specifically for transmissions. In this work we focus on eliminating the transmission power consumed into the network subject to the network's connectivity. The assurance of network connectivity is essential in this problem since the usage of limited transmission power from the nodes may result in a partitioned network. We provide solutions to the efficient usage of transmission power by clustering the nodes based on their proximity and ensuring the intracluster and intercluster connectivity of the network. The algorithms presented in this paper achieve their objective as the collected results from their simulation show.","PeriodicalId":435910,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003.

In these cases minimizing size and maximizing power efficiency is usually also of great interest. Examples include terrestrial communications in urban settings where line of sight may not be available as well as links to highly dynamic aircraft and missiles. Most high throughput, bandwidth efficient waveforms in use today (e.g. OFDM or QAM) are very sensitive to dynamics and multipath. They also are often characterized by significant peak to average transmit power that prohibit the use of more efficient transmitter designs. Extensive trade-off analysis and simulations were performed for selecting the coding and constant envelope (power efficient), spectrally efficient modulation schemes combined with receive processing, that achieves \"turbo-like\" performance. The implemented receiver combines soft-input/soft-output (SISO) equalization and decoding via adaptive iterative detection (AID) techniques and exhibits excellent performance even in severe dynamic multipath fading channels with large delay spreads. Reduced complexity algorithms were designed for hardware implementation and their performance was evaluated.","PeriodicalId":435910,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003.

The throughput maximization problem is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem and the optimum power vector is determined by using the feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP). The disadvantage of the FSQP is its slow convergence especially when the number of optimized variables is large. To overcome this drawback, we propose a low-complexity suboptimal power allocation algorithm which updates the power vectors iteratively based on the first order necessary conditions for local optimum points. Simulation results show the proposed power allocation algorithms increase system throughputs from 5% to 30% over the equal power allocation scheme in various channel conditions.","PeriodicalId":435910,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003.

The new approach takes advantage of the fact that when a pulsed radio wave propagates over a long distance the significant pulse energy exists only over a small part of the propagation path at any instant of time. This allows the use of a relatively small FDTD computational mesh that exists only over a portion of the propagation path, moving along with the pulse energy. At the leading edge of the FDTD mesh inside the moving window the appropriate terrain and atmospheric material parameters are added to the mesh. At the trailing edge the terrain, foliage and atmosphere that has been left behind by the pulse is removed. Absorbing boundaries are used appropriately at the boundaries of the mesh. The potential savings over using a full FDTD mesh over the entire length of the propagation path are enormous. The proposed method promises to be the first full wave method applicable to radio propagation prediction calculations over long propagation paths. The moving window FDTD method has been applied to propagation over different types of irregular terrain. Comparisons with path loss measurements and ray-based methods show good accuracy and illustrate the advantages of a full wave method. Applications to foliage covered terrain have also been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":435910,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003.
