    This Dissertation analyzes the performance of ecient digital commu- nication systems, the performance analysis includes the bit error rate (BER) of dier- ent binary and M-ary modulation schemes, and the average channel capacity (ACC) under dierent adaptive transmission protocols, namely, the simultaneous power and rate adaptation protocol (OPRA), the optimal rate with xed power protocol (ORA), the channel inversion with xed rate protocol (CIFR), and the truncated channel in- version with xed transmit power protocol (CTIFR). In this dissertation, BER and ACC performance of interference-limited dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay- ing cooperative systems with co-channel interference (CCI) at both the relay and destination nodes is analyzed in small-scale multipath Nakagami-m fading channels with arbitrary (integer as well as non-integer) values of m. This channel condition is assumed for both the desired signal as well as co-channel interfering signals. In addition, the practical case of unequal average fading powers between the two hops is assumed in the analysis. The analysis assumes an arbitrary number of indepen- dent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) interfering signals at both relay (R) and destination (D) nodes. Also, the work extended to the case when the receiver employs the maximum ratio combining (MRC) and the equal gain combining (EGC) schemes to exploit the diversity gain

    Abstract — In this paper, we introduce an adaptive Lp–norm metric for robust coherent diversity combining in non–Gaussian noise and interference. We derive a general closed–form expres-sion for the asymptotic bit error rate (BER) for Lp–norm combin-ing in independent non–identically distributed Ricean fading and non–Gaussian noise and interference with finite moments. Based on this asymptotic BER expression, the metric parameters can be adapted to the underlying type of noise and interference using a finite difference stochastic approximation (FDSA) algorithm. Simulation results confirm the validity of the derived asymptotic BER expression and the excellent performance of the proposed adaptive Lp–norm metric. I

    Co-channel interference in heterogeneous networks: Rician/Rayleigh scenario

    The purpose of this study is to analyze interference for a macro cellular network h which embeds femtocells and/or relay nodes. Femtocells and relay nodes are being introduced to improve coverage and capacity of conventional cellular networks. However, their introduction comes with additional interference between the uacrocell and femtocell/relay node, and between individual femtocells/relay nodes. Hence, there is a need for analytical expressions for the performance measures such that outage probability and average capacity so that the effect of co-channe1 interference is understood thoroughly. In this thesis, analytical and numerical results are presented for outage probability and average capacity in a Rician/Rayleigh Scenario. In this scenario, the desired signal experiences Rician fading channel and the interfering signals experience Rayleigh fading channels. Closed-form and infinite series expressions are found for the outage probability and an infinite sum expression is found for the average capacity. The analysis approximates SINR by its tight upper bound SIR; therefore, the outage probability result is a tight lower bound and the average capacity result is a tight upper bound of their corresponding results without the approximation. Moreover, the thesis, as a background work, includes detailed studies of the relevant probability distributions used to model fading channels and radio link performance metrics in the absence of interference

    Ratio of Products of Mixture Gamma Variates with Applications to Wireless Communications Systems

    The fading scenario of many realistic wireless communication transmission systems, such as, multi-hop communications and spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), can be modelled by the product and the ratio of the product of the random variables (RVs) of the channel distribution. However, there is no work has been investigated in the literature to provide unified statistics of the product and the ratio of the products that can be used for a wide range of non-composite and composite fading conditions. Accordingly, in this paper, the statistical properties, namely, probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and moment generating function (MGF) of the product and the ratio of the product of independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.d.) mixture Gamma (MG) RVs are derived. A MG distribution has been widely employed to approximate with high accuracy most of the conventional fading models, for example, Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, Nakagami-q (Hoyt), and Nakagami-n (Rician) as well as the generalised composite fading channels, such as, generalised- (),− /gamma, − /gamma, and − /gamma. Hence, the derived PDF, CDF, and MGF are utilized for the Beaulieu–Xie and −−− shadowed fading channels that have not been yet presented by the previous works due to mathematical intractability of their statistics. Thus, the equivalent parameters of a MG distribution for these channels are given. To this end, simple closed-form mathematically tractable expressions of the performance metrics are obtained. The derived statistics are applied to analyse the outage probability (OP), the average error probability for different modulation schemes, the effective rate (ER) of wireless communication systems and the average area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUC) curve of energy detection over cascaded fading channels. Moreover, the OP of the multi-hop communications systems with co-channel interference (CCI), both the lower bound of secure OP (SOPL) and probability of non-zero secrecy capacity (PNSC) of the physical layer security (PLS), and the outage and delay-limited capacities of CRNs are studied via using the statistics of the ratio of the product of MG variates. A comparison between the numerical results and the Monte Carlo simulations is presented to verify the validation of our analysis

    Severely Fading MIMO Channels

    In most wireless communications research, the channel models considered experience less severe fading than the classic Rayleigh fading case. In this thesis, however, we investigate MIMO channels where the fading is more severe. In these environments, we show that the coefficient of variation of the channel amplitudes is a good predictor of the link mutual information, for a variety of models. We propose a novel channel model for severely fading channels based on the complex multivariate t distribution. For this model, we are able to compute exact results for the ergodic mutual information and approximations to the outage probabilities for the mutual information. Applications of this work include wireless sensors, RF tagging, land-mobile, indoor-mobile, ground-penetrating radar, and ionospheric radio links. Finally, we point out that the methodology can also be extended to evaluate the mutual information of a cellular MIMO link and the performance of various MIMO receivers in a cellular scenario. In these cellular applications, the channel itself is not severely fading but the multivariate t distribution can be applied to model the effects of intercellular interference

    Transmit antenna selection in fading wireless communication systems

    Get PDF
    Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 79-83).To address the drawbacks associated with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, we propose the use of the transmit antenna selection technique. In transmit antenna selection, the best performing antenna(s) is selected from all the available transmit antennas for transmission. Transmit antenna selection reduces the number of radio frequency chains, and the system complexity while still achieving the goals of multiple antenna systems. In this thesis the performance of a MIMO system employing transmit antenna selection and maximal-ratiocombining is studied

    In order to improve the performance of the wireless signal transmission system in the presence of various types of interference, new methods of combining diversion techniques in the relay and on the receiving side have been proposed. When using diversi, the combining technique has shown a significant improvement in the performance of wireless relay signal transmission, and thus a lower probability of system failure. Increasing the capacity of wireless telecommunications systems is feasible in terms of fixed bandwidth and specified modulation format by using the cooperative concept to increase the signal strength to noise and interference ratio. By using mobile stations as a relay, performance improvement can be achieved in M2M communication, which can be rationally used to increase channel information capacity and transmission reliability. A more detailed analysis has been conducted and can answer questions about quantitative measures of improvement in the conditions of fading and inter-channel interference. The cases of relay transmission are discussed, as well as the possibility of applying a diversion technique to improve performance in conditions of simultaneous reception of a signal through a direct connection and through a relay. For the above cases, standard performance measures will be determined using statistical telecommunications theory
