An Accurate Sample Rejection Estimator of the Outage Probability With Equal Gain Combining

We evaluate the outage probability (OP) for L-branch equal gain combining (EGC) receivers operating over fading channels, i.e., equivalently the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the sum of the L channel envelopes. In general, closed form expressions of OP values are out of reach. The use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations is not a good alternative as it requires a large number of samples for small values of OP. In this paper, we use the concept of importance sampling (IS), being known to yield accurate estimates using fewer simulation runs. Our proposed IS scheme is based on sample rejection where the IS density is the truncation of the underlying density over the L dimensional sphere. It assumes the knowledge of the CDF of the sum of the L channel gains in closed-form. Such an assumption is not restrictive since it holds for various challenging fading models. We apply our approach to the case of independent Rayleigh, correlated Rayleigh, and independent and identically distributed Rice fading models. Next, we extend our approach to the interesting scenario of generalised selection combining receivers combined with EGC under the independent Rayleigh environment. For each case, we prove the desired bounded relative error property. Finally, we validate these theoretical results through some selected experiments

Performance of wireless optical telecommunication systems in the presence of fading and interference

Postojeći komunikacioni sistem u domenu RF elektromagnetnog spektra nije u mogućnosti da zadovolji sve potrebe brzog i obimnog prenosa podataka, koje se javljaju usled ekspanzije i sve veće upotrebe IoT uređaja, 5G i B5G mreža, kao i raznovrsnih aplikacija i multimedijalnog sadržaja. Optička bežična komunikacija (OWC), koja koristi veliki opseg nelicenciranog dela spektra, se pokazala kao dobra alternativa za ublažavanje nedostataka konvencionalnog sistema za prenos podataka koji radi u RF domenu. FSO (Free Space Optics) tehnologija predstavlja jednu od vrsta optičkih bežičnih komunikacija, ima veliku upotrebu u LAN i MAN mrežama , bežičnom video nadzoru, koristi se u medicinske svrhe, u svemirskoj komunikaciji, za rešavanje problema poslednje milje itd. Primena bežičnih komunikacija, znatno može da doprinese performansama sistema, i to u smislu spektralne i energetske efikasnosti kao i u smislu pouzdanosti. U disertaciji je u cilju utvrđivanja optimalnog scenarija prijema signala, kao i određivanja optimalnih vrednosti parametara takvog prenosa, izvršena analiza karakteristika bežičnog optičkog prenosa signala u prisustvu turbulencije i efekta greške pozicioniranja, koji se odvija pod kompozitnim uticajem navedenih smetnji. Za posmatrane scenarije prenosa razmatrane su standardne mere performansi sistema, kao što su srednja verovatnoća greške po bitu, posmatrana za odgovarajuće modulacione formate, kao i verovatnoća otkaza. Predstavljena su analitička i numerička rešenja problema, a uticaji pojedinih parametara sistema na performanse bežičnog optičkog prenosa prikazani su i grafički

Povećanje informacionog kapaciteta i pouzdanosti u bežičnim optičkim komunikacijama primenom algoritama adaptivnog prenosa

This dissertation considers adaptive transmission algorithms and their influence towards increasing information capacity and system reliability. Theses algorithms are applied to optical wireless communications, as well as to radio-frequency system with diversity receiver. System of adaptive transmission is described in detail, and different algorithms of adaptation are applied: ORA, OPRA, CIFR, and TIFR. Derived probability density function combines influence of atmospheric turbulence, atmospheric losses and positioning errors that consist of laser pointing precision and jitter. FSO system without adaptation is also considered. For this case, bit-error rate and outage probability are determined when signal is exposed to different strengths of atmospheric turbulence, when there is atmospheric attenuation and positioning errors due to both main causes, when IM/DD and heterodyne detection are used. Power penalty is also determined for such system. Bit-error rate is also determined for the case when SIM is used in combination with binary modulation and quadrature amplitude modulation. Capacity analysis is given for the use of ORA, OPRA, CIFR and TIFR adaptive transmission algorithms, and for IM/DD and heterodyne detection cases. Algorithms used for transmitter power adaptation are additionally analyzed and improved with an aim to obtain realistic and functional systems. Based on analytical expression, simulation model is developed for adaptive transmission systems, which is used to validate numerical results. Approximate expressions are also given for used adaptive algorithms. Finally, adaptive transmission is considered also for a class of wireless RF systems. Fading model used is based on α-κ-μ distribution. Outage probability and amount of fading are given as representative performance measures. Besides adaptive transmission algorithms used in FSO systems, analysis of space diversity reception is also presented for the general case of using L antennas

Advanced Trends in Wireless Communications

Physical limitations on wireless communication channels impose huge challenges to reliable communication. Bandwidth limitations, propagation loss, noise and interference make the wireless channel a narrow pipe that does not readily accommodate rapid flow of data. Thus, researches aim to design systems that are suitable to operate in such channels, in order to have high performance quality of service. Also, the mobility of the communication systems requires further investigations to reduce the complexity and the power consumption of the receiver. This book aims to provide highlights of the current research in the field of wireless communications. The subjects discussed are very valuable to communication researchers rather than researchers in the wireless related areas. The book chapters cover a wide range of wireless communication topics
