Reliable Multicast D2D Communication Over Multiple Channels in Underlay Cellular Networks
2020
Multicast device-to-device (D2D) communications operating underlay with cellular networks is a spectral efficient technique for disseminating data to the nearby receivers. However, due to critical challenges such as, mitigating mutual interference and unavailability of perfect channel state information (CSI), the resource allocation to multicast groups needs significant attention. In this work, we present a framework for joint channel assignment and power allocation strategy to maximize the sum rate of the combined network. The proposed framework allows access of multiple channels to the multicast groups, thus improving the achievable rate of the individual groups. Furthermore, fairness in …
Energy-efficient resource allocation for OFDMA two-way relay networks with imperfect CSI
2015
Most of the existed works on the radio resource allocation (RRA) problem commonly assume the channel-state information (CSI) can be perfectly obtained by the transmission source. However, such assumption is not practical in the realistic wireless systems. In this work, we consider the practical implementation issues of resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) two-way relay networks: the inaccuracy of channel-state information (CSI) available to the source. Instead, only the estimated channel status is known by the source. In this context, a joint optimization of subcarrier pairing and allocation, relay selection, and transmit power allocation is formulate…
Stationarity Test for Wireless Communication Channels
2009
In this article, we propose a new test to determine the intervals of stationarity for wireless communication channels. The intervals of stationarity are identified by comparing the delay power spectral density (PSD) estimated at different time instances. The performance of the proposed stationarity test has been evaluated based on the synthetic data generated using a channel simulator. The analysis of the stationarity intervals for two radio communication channels measured in different propagation scenarios reveals that the number and the length of the stationarity intervals decrease as the dimensions of the channel matrix increase.
Joint LMMSE equalizer for HSDPA in full-rate space time transmit diversity schemes
2005
This contribution presents a joint linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) equalizer for full-rate space-time transmit diversity multi-code schemes based on W-CDMA, featuring two and four transmit antennas. Specifically, high-rate, high load systems are targeted, in order to analyze the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) of 3GPP Release 6. We derive an equivalent transmission scheme to equalize the received sufficient statistic in a single stage. To reduce the effects of multipath and multiuser interference, and to provide spatial and frequency diversity at the receiver, an LMMSE equalizer is employed. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed schemes achieve robust performance…
Level-Crossing Rate and Average Duration of Fades of the Envelope of Mobile-to-Mobile Fading Channels in Cooperative Networks Under Line-of-Sight Con…
2008
This paper studies the fading behavior of mobile- to-mobile (M2M) fading channels in relay-based cooperative networks under line-of-sight (LOS) conditions. Here, we assume that LOS components exist in both the direct link between the source mobile station (SMS) and the destination mobile station (DMS) as well as in the link via the mobile relay (MR). In such a propagation environment, the fading channel is referred to as the multiple-LOS second-order scattering (MLSS) channel. The fading behavior of MLSS channels is studied by analyzing the level-crossing rate (LCR) and the average duration of fades (ADF) of the received envelope. We have derived analytical expressions for the LCR, ADF, and…
Mobile radio channel models for present and future wireless communication systems
2008
From the beginnings of mobile communication, there is a high demand for realistic models for mobile fading channels. The reason for the demand is that channel models are essential for the performance evaluation, parameter optimisation, and test of mobile communication systems. Design methods for mobile fading channels are therefore of great importance for system engineers who are involved in the development of present and future mobile communication systems. In this presentation, an overview will be given about several design methodologies commonly used for the design of mobile radio channel models in present and future wireless communication systems. All presented channel models have in co…
A wideband multiple-cluster MIMO mobile-to-mobile channel model based on the geometrical street model
2008
In this paper, we extend the geometrical street multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile-to-mobile (M2M) channel model with respect to multiple clusters of scatterers as well as to frequency selectivity. The statistical properties of the proposed reference model are studied. Analytical solutions are provided for the three-dimensional (3D) space-time cross-correlation function (CCF), the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF), the 2D space CCF, and the frequency correlation function (FCF). The correlation properties are studied under the assumption of non-isotropic scattering conditions. The proposed reference model can be used as a starting point for the derivation of a wideband MIMO M…
Improving the Performance Metric of Wireless Sensor Networks with Clustering Markov Chain Model and Multilevel Fusion
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/783543 Open access The paper proposes a performance metric evaluation for a distributed detection wireless sensor network with respect to IEEE 802.15.4 standard. A distributed detection scheme is considered with presence of the fusion node and organized sensors into the clustering and non-clustering networks. Sensors are distributed in clusters uniformly and nonuniformly and network has multilevel fusion centers. Fusion centers act as heads of clusters for decision making based on majority-like received signal strength (RSS) with comparis…
Cooperative communication design with distributed code allocation in a clustered network
2011
A major challenge for cooperative communication in distributed networks is to coordinate relay transmissions without introducing too much overhead. Targeting a clustered network, we propose a novel cooperative communication scheme including channel quality based relay selection and distributed space-time code allocation in this paper. Both analysis and simulations are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed cooperative scheme, in terms of packet delivery rate, throughput and energy efficiency, under different channel conditions and network density.
Mutual-information based rate-adaptation for Multi-User TH-IR-UWB coded system
2011
In this paper we present a coding rate adaptation technique for a Time-Hopping Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band (TH-IR-UWB) system assuming that the Multi-User Interference (MUI) is modeled as an additive interference noise following a Generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD). The shape parameter induced by the GGD model is in general time-variant since it strongly depends on the essential UWB system parameters and the received signal power of the active users. In this paper, we show that the performance of a TH-IR-UWB LDPC coded system is quite independent of the GGD shape parameter when we consider the mutual information between the soft input to the decoder and the transmitted sequence, espe…
