In this paper, we present a systematic analysis of the performance of MCMC detectors. We study the impact of several parameters such as the list size and the number of independently running chains. As a performance criterion, our analysis is based on the mutual information over an equivalent modulation channel, rather than on coded bit error rates, because this metric is independent of the outer channel code and provides valuable insights over the whole SNR range of interest. Furthermore, we show that combining the MCMC detector with a hard-output sphere detector removes the error floor at high SNR, which is a well-known problem of the MCMC principle.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89815108","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 conducting goodness of fit tests, we define the range of values of the scintillation index, where the two distributions approximate each other, with a certain significance level. The efficiency of the new model is pointed out by deriving analytical expressions for the calculation of the bit-error rate of two typical FSO systems; an intensity-modulation/direct detection FSO system with M-ary pulse position modulation and a heterodyne FSO system with differential phase shift keying. Numerical examples are provided to clearly illustrate the accuracy of the proposed approach in the weak turbulence regime.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91288667","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 such a Time-Wavelength-Switched- Network (TWSN), the Time-Wavelength-Space-Routers (TWSRs) are configured to change their routing pattern on a time slot basis. Another kind of time slotted network proposed in the literature is the Time-Wavelength-Interleaved Network (TWIN), which eliminates time switching within the network by using a non-reconfigurable core and an intelligent edge utilizing a fast tunable laser to emulate fast switching. A drawback of the TWIN network is that it assigns a unique wavelength to each node in the network. Thus it requires a total of W = N wavelengths for an N-node network and hence is not scalable. In this paper we propose to design a wavelength-constrained (i.e., W < N) TWIN network with no switching (TWIN-NS) by using a multicasting strategy. We also propose a variant of the TWIN network which possesses switching capabilities only at the edge nodes (TWIN-ES), and compare the performances of these TWIN networks to that of the TWSN. We present integer linear programs and heuristic algorithms to solve the connection scheduling problem in the TWSN and the TWIN, and investigate the benefits of having a fast reconfigurable switch as opposed to a non-reconfigurable core.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89578905","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}

Our approach is unified in the sense that a (i) large class of fading channels, (ii) arbitrary labeling rules, and (iii) all common signal constellations are encompassed, and it is preferable over previous work in that we provide closed-form expressions.

To avoid extensive information exchange with the access point in centralized approaches, we propose a distributed threshold-based scheme, where each user accesses multiple channels simultaneously based on a comparison between measured channel gains and a channel gain threshold. Each user will adapts its channel gain threshold based on local measurements of collision on each channeland the energy consumption for channel contention. The problem is formulated as a constrained non-cooperative game. We show existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium. A gradient-based algorithm is proposed to update the channel gain threshold. Furthermore, the convergence of this algorithm is proved. In addition, for heterogeneous systems, our proposed scheme can maintain multiuser diversity gains considering the time-varying channel gain and energy consumption. Compared with peer distributed OFDMA schemes and random channel selection algorithms, our proposed schemes reduce overhead and achieve a higher throughput.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76600564","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 designed system applies GNU software radio as the platform, and USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) as the hardware solution. This cognitive radio is capable of detecting primary users in real time and adaptively adjusting its transmission parameters to avoid interference to primary users. Additionally, we have demonstrated that when the primary user transmission changes, the cognitive radio dynamically adjusts its transmission accordingly. We have demonstrated seamless real time video transmission between two cognitive radio nodes, while avoiding interference from primary users and interference to primary users operating in the same spectrum.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76872780","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}
