A generalized method for the design of ergodic sum-of-cisoids simulators for multiple uncorrelated rayleigh fading channels
2010
In this paper, we present a new method for the design of ergodic sum-of-sinusoids (SOS) simulation models for multiple uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels. The method, which is intended for a special class of SOS models, known as sum-of-cisoids (SOC) models, can be used to generate an arbitrary number of uncorrelated Rayleigh fading waveforms with specified Doppler power spectral characteristics. This is in contrast to the SOS simulators currently available in the open literature that have been designed under the isotropic scattering assumption, which are limited to the simulation of uncorrelated channels characterized by Clarke's U-shaped Doppler power spectral density (DPSD). The excell…
Efficient Simulation of Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission over Multipath Fading Channels
2011
Filterbank orthogonal multicarrier transmission schemes, such as OFDM/OQAM, are currently under intense study for their spectral efficiency and suitability for the physical layer of Cognitive Radio. Nonetheless, the mathematical description of the signal is cumbersome, and closed form expressions for performance figures are not available, so performance analysis on fading channels has to be performed by means of simulations. We propose an algorithm for simulating the received signal over multipath frequency selective fading channels, based on Taylor series expansion of the channel transfer function. The proposed method is compared to the state-of-the-art FFT-based method in terms of computa…
Geometry-Based Statistical Modeling of Non-WSSUS Mobile-to-Mobile Rayleigh Fading Channels
2017
In this paper, we present a novel geometry-based statistical model for small-scale non-wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (non-WSSUS) mobile-to-mobile (M2M) Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed model builds on the principles of plane wave propagation to capture the temporal evolution of the propagation delay and Doppler shift of the received multipath signal. This is different from existing non-WSSUS geometry-based statistical channel models, which are based on a spherical wave propagation approach, that in spite of being more realistic is more mathematically intricate. By considering an arbitrary geometrical configuration of the propagation area, we derive general expressions …
Fading mitigation coding techniques for space to ground free space optical communications
2014
In this manuscript, a Geostationary satellite-toground Free Space Optics (FSO) downlink channel model has been implemented, which is able to predict temporal irradiance fluctuations caused by scintillation at a wide range of turbulence conditions and for different values of the zenith angle. In order to mitigate fading events that occur in FSO communications, we have also tested the performance of three different families of Rateless Codes (Luby Transform, Raptor and RaptorQ) into our model and found that RaptorQ is the best candidate to mitigate errors in FSO links. Keywords— Optical Wireless Communications; Space-toGround FSO links, time-series, rateless codes; fading mitigation
On the statistical properties of the capacity of amplify-and-forward channels under LOS conditions
2008
Amplify-and-forward channels in cooperative networks provide a promising improvement in the network coverage and system throughput. Under line-of-sight (LOS) propagation conditions in such cooperative networks, the overall fading channel can be modeled by a double Rice process. In this article, we have studied the statistical properties of the capacity of double Rice fading channels. We have derived the analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the channel capacity. The obtained results are studied for different values of the amplitudes of the LOS components in …

Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Mobile-to-Mobile Fading Channels in Cooperative Networks Under Line-of-Sight Conditions
2009
Published version of an article from the journal: Wireless Personal Communications. The original publication is available at Springerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-009-9721-4 Recently, mobile-to-mobile (M2M) cooperative network technology has gained considerable attention for its promise of enhanced system performance with increased mobility support. As this is a new research field, little is known about the statistical properties of M2M fading channels in cooperative networks. So far, M2M fading channels have mainly been modeled under the assumption of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. In this paper, we propose a new model for M2M fading channels in amplify-and-forward relay lin…

Performance analysis of binary DPSK modulation schemes over Hoyt fading channels
2009
This paper presents a performance analysis of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation schemes over Hoyt fading channels. Based upon the theory of DPSK modulation and a recently derived formula for the probability density function (PDF) of the differential phase between two Hoyt vectors contaminated by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), the bit error probability (BEP) for DPSK systems with noncoherent demodulation over Hoyt channels is analyzed. In the analysis, the correlation between adjacent bits is taken into account. The obtained theoretical results are fully validated first by reducing them to the corresponding known solutions for the Rayleigh fading distribution being a s…
A Novel Amplify-and-Forward Relay Channel Model for Mobile-to-Mobile Fading Channels under Line-of-Sight Conditions
2021
In this chapter, we have proposed a new flexible M2M amplify-and-forward relay fading channel model under LOS propagation conditions. The novelty in the model is that we have considered the LOS components in both transmission links, i.e., the direct link between the source mobile station and the destination mobile station as well as the link via the mobile relay. By analogy with multiple scattering radio propagation channels, we have developed the MLSS fading channel as a second-order scattering channel, where the received signal comprises the single and double scattered components. Furthermore, the flexibility of the MLSS fading channel model comes from the fact that it can be reduced to d…
