    Bandwidth and computation-intensive Big Data applications in disciplines like social media, bio- and nano-informatics, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and real-time analytics, are pushing existing access and core (backbone) networks as well as Data Center Networks (DCNs) to their limits. Next generation DCNs must support continuously increasing network traffic while satisfying minimum performance requirements of latency, reliability, flexibility and scalability. Therefore, a larger number of cables (i.e., copper-cables and fiber optics) may be required in conventional wired DCNs. In addition to limiting the possible topologies, large number of cables may result into design and development problems related to wire ducting and maintenance, heat dissipation, and power consumption. To address the cabling complexity in wired DCNs, we propose OWCells, a class of optical wireless cellular data center network architectures in which fixed line of sight (LOS) optical wireless communication (OWC) links are used to connect the racks arranged in regular polygonal topologies. We present the OWCell DCN architecture, develop its theoretical underpinnings, and investigate routing protocols and OWC transceiver design. To realize a fully wireless DCN, servers in racks must also be connected using OWC links. There is, however, a difficulty of connecting multiple adjacent network components, such as servers in a rack, using point-to-point LOS links. To overcome this problem, we propose and validate the feasibility of an FSO-Bus to connect multiple adjacent network components using NLOS point-to-point OWC links. Finally, to complete the design of the OWC transceiver, we develop a new class of strictly and rearrangeably non-blocking multicast optical switches in which multicast is performed efficiently at the physical optical (lower) layer rather than upper layers (e.g., application layer).

    Given the exorbitant amount of data transmitted and the increasing demand for data connectivity in the 21st century, it has become imperative to search for pro-active and sustainable solutions to the effectively alleviate the overwhelming burden imposed on wireless networks. In this study a Decode and Forward cooperative relay channel is analyzed, with the employment of Maximal Ratio Combining at the destination node as the method of offering diversity combining. The system framework used is based on a three-node relay channel with a source node, relay node and a destination node. A model for the wireless communications channel is formulated in order for simulation to be carried out to investigate the impact on performance of relaying on a node placed at the edge of cell. Firstly, an AWGN channel is used before the effect of Rayleigh fading is taken into consideration. Result shows that performance of cooperative relaying performance is always superior or similar to conventional relaying. Additionally, relaying is beneficial when the relay is placed closer to the receiver

    In recent time, the demand for multimedia data services over wireless links has grown up rapidly. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) forms the basis for all 3G and beyond wireless communication standards due to its efficient frequency utilization permitting near ideal data rate and ubiquitous coverage with high mobility. OFDM signals are prone to high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR). Unfortunately, the high PAPR inherent to OFDM signal envelopes occasionally drives high power amplifiers (HPAs) to operate in the nonlinear region of their characteristic leading out-of-band radiation, reduction in efficiency of communication system etc. A plethora of research has been devoted to reducing the performance degradation due to the PAPR problem inherent to OFDM systems. Advanced techniques such as partial transmit sequences (PTS) and selected mapping (SLM) have been considered most promising for PAPR reduction. Such techniques are seen to be efficient for distortion-less signal processing but suffer from computational complexity and often requires transmission of extra information in terms of several side information (SI) bits leading to loss in effective data rate. This thesis investigates the PAPR problem using Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) scheme, where optimization is achieved with evolutionary bio-inspired metaheuristic stochastic algorithms. The phase factor optimization in PTS is used for PAPR reduction. At first, swarm intelligence based Firefly PTS (FF-PTS) algorithm is proposed which delivers improved PAPR performance with reduced searching complexity. Following this, Cuckoo Search based PTS (CS-PTS) technique is presented, which offers good PAPR performance in terms of solution quality and convergence speed. Lastly, Improved Harmony search based PTS (IHS-PTS) is introduced, which provides improved PAPR. The algorithm has simple structure with a very few parameters for larger PTS sub-blocks. The PAPR performance of the proposed technique with different parameters is also verified through extensive computer simulations. Furthermore, complexity analysis of algorithms demonstrates that the proposed schemes offer significant complexity reduction when compared to standard PAPR reduction techniques. Findings have been validated through extensive simulation tests

    The driving force of the study is susceptibility of LS algorithm to noise. As LS algorithm is simple to implement, hence it’s performance improvement can contribute a lot to the wireless technology that are especially deals with high computation. Cascading of AdaBoost algorithm with LS greatly influences the OFDM system performance. Performance of Adaptive Boosting based symbol recovery was investigated on the performance of LS, MMSE, BLUE were also compared with the performance of AdaBoost algorithm and MMSE has been found the higher computational complexity. Furthermore, MMSE also requires apriori channel statistics and computational complexity O(5N3) of the MMSE increases exponentially as the number of carrier increases. For the Adaboost case the computational complexity calculation is little different.Therefore, in the training stage of the AdaBoost algorithm, the computational complexity is only O(nT M) Furthermore, as it is a classification algorithm so in the receiver side we will require a separate de-mapper (or decoder) to get the desired data bits, i.e., a. SAS aided DCT based PAPR reduction 1326 and b. SAS aided DCT based PAPR reduction. A successive addition subtraction preprocessed DCT based PAPR reduction technique was proposed. Here, the performance of proposed method was compared with other preexisting techniques like SLM and PTS and the performance of the proposed method was seen to outperform specially in low PAPR region. In the proposed PAPR reduction method, the receiver is aware of the transmitted signal processing, this enables a reverse operation at the receiver to extract the transmit data. Hence the requirement of sending extra information through extra subcarrier is eliminated. The proposed method is also seen to be spectrally efficient. In the case of PTS and SLM it is inevitable to send the side information to retrieve the transmit signal. Hence, these two methods are spectrally inefficient. Successive addition subtraction based PAPR reduction method was also applied to MIMO systems. The performance of the SAS based PAPR reduction method also showed better performance as compared to other technique. An extensive simulation of MIMO OFDM PAPR reduction was carried out by varying the number of subcarriers and number of transmitter antennas. A detailed computational complexity analysis was also carried out. BATE aided SDMA multi user detection. A detailed study of SDMA system was carried out with it’s mathematical analysis.Many linear and non linear detectors like ML, MMSE, PIC, SIC have been proposed in literature for multiuser detection of SDMA system. However, except MMSE every receivers other are computational extensive. So as to enhance the performance of the MMSE MUD a meta heuristic Bat algorithm was incorporated in cascade with MMSE

    학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 전기·컴퓨터공학부, 2014. 2. 노종선.This dissertation proposes several research results on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction schemes for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The PAPR is the one of major drawback of OFDM system which causes signal distortion when OFDM signal passes through nonlinear high power amplifier (HPA). Various schemes have been proposed to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals such as clipping, selected mapping (SLM), partial transmit sequence (PTS), active constellation extension (ACE), companding, and tone reservation (TR). Among them, PTS scheme can transmit an OFDM signal vector by generating many alternative OFDM signal vectors using the partitioned subblock signals and selecting the optimal OFDM signal vector with the minimum PAPR. However, the PTS scheme requires large computational complexity, because it needs many inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs) of subblock signals and lots of alternative OFDM signal vectors are generated. In this dissertation, we concentrate on reducing the computational complexity of the PTS scheme. In the first part of this dissertation, we propose a new PTS scheme with low computational complexity using two search steps to find a subset of phase rotating vectors showing good PAPR reduction performance. In the first step, sequences with low correlation are used as phase rotating vectors for PTS scheme, which are called the initial phase vectors. Kasami sequence and quaternary sequence are used in this step as the initial phase vectors. In the second step, local search is performed based on the initial phase vectors to find additional phase rotating vectors which show good PAPR reduction performance. Numerical analysis shows that the proposed PTS scheme can achieve almost the same PAPR reduction performance as the conventional PTS scheme with much lower computational complexity than other low-complexity PTS schemes. In the second part of the dissertation, we propose another low-complexity PTS schemes using the dominant time-domain OFDM signal samples, which are only used to calculate PAPR of each alternative OFDM signal vector. In this PTS scheme, we propose efficient metrics to select the dominant time-domain samples. For further lowering the computational complexity, dominant time-domain samples are sorted in decreasing order by the proposed metric values and then the power of each sample is compared with the minimum PAPR of the previously examined alternative OFDM signal vectors. Numerical results confirm that the proposed PTS schemes using new metrics show large computational complexity reduction compared to other existing low-complexity PTS schemes without PAPR degradation. In the last part of the dissertation, for the reduced-complexity PTS scheme, a new selection method of the dominant time-domain samples is proposed by rotating the IFFTed signal samples to the area on which the IFFTed signal sample of the first subblock is located in the signal space. Moreover, the method of pre-exclusion of the phase rotating vectors using the time-domain sample rotation is proposed to reduce the number of alternative OFDM signal vectors. Further, three proposed PTS schemes are introduced to reduce the computational complexity by using simple OFDM signal rotation and pre-exclusion of the phase rotating vectors. Numerical analysis shows that the proposed PTS schemes achieve the same PAPR reduction performance as that of the conventional PTS scheme with the large computational complexity reduction.Docto
