Outage analysis in wireless channels with multiple interferers subject to shadowing and fading using a compound pdf model
International Journal of Electronics and Communications, 61(4): pp. 255-261.Wireless communication systems are subject to short term and long term fading of the
channel. Instead of the commonly used Nakagami-lognormal model to account for the
conditions existing in these shadowed fading channels, a compound probability density
function (pdf) model is used to evaluate the performance of wireless systems. While the
Nakagami-lognormal lacks a closed form solution to the pdf of the received power in
shadowed fading channels, the compound pdf has an analytical expression for the pdf of
the received signal power. The synergy between these two models for the analysis of
wireless systems is explored by calculating the bit error rate in a DPSK modem as well as
the outage probability in a wireless system in a shadowed fading channel. This is
followed by the computation of the outage probability in the general case where both the
desired and cochannels are subject to shadowing and fading. The analyses were carried
out for both fixed number of cochannels and random number of cochannels. Results
demonstrate the usefulness of the compound pdf model for the performance analyses of
wireless systems in shadowed fading channels
OPTIMIZING RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN VERY BAD CHANNEL CONDITIONS
Radio resource management is one of the most important parts of modern multi-user wireless communication systems. The main reason for this importance comes from the fact that the radio resources, such as bandwidth and power, are scarce. For instance, UMTS systems use 5MHz bandwidth for voice as well as data services. The optimum usage of the radio resource guarantees the highest efficient utilization of wireless networks. To optimize the radio resources, the transmitters need to estimate the channel conditions. This channel estimation is done by using pilot signal from the receiver. There are usually small delays between the measurements and the radio resource
allocation. When the channel is highly correlated, this delay will not affect the performance, because the channel will not be significantly changed between the time of measurement and the time of transmission. However, if the mobile speed is high or the
channel is very high dynamic, the correlation becomes very low. This is due to the timevarying nature of the channel. We call channels with very low correlation in time as bad condition channels.
In this thesis we discuss this extremely important topic. The tools for analyzing bad condition channels are also proposed and discussed. Two power control algorithms to mitigate the low correlation of channels have been proposed. Our algorithms are
validated through several simulations.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format
Power control in multimedia CDMA cellular networks.
Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2000.Wireless mobile communication is witnessing a rapid growth in, and demand
for, improved technology and range of information types and services. Further,
third generation cellular networks are expected to provide mobile users with
ubiquitous wireless access to a global backbone architecture that carries a wide
variety of electronic services. We examine the topic of power control and
models that arc suitable for modem third generation wireless networks. CDMA
technology is proving to be a promising and attractive approach for spectrally
efficient, economical and high quality digital communications wireless
networks. This thesis addresses the challenge of integrating heterogeneous
transmitting sources with a broad range of Quality of Service characteristics in
the cellular COMA networks. Provided the right power control can be devised,
COMA offers the potential of extracting gain from the statistical multiplexing of
such sources. A distributed power control algorithm is proposed which is
required to update the transmitted power of the mobiles in each of the service
classes locally. and enhance the performance of the system significantly.
Algorithms for pragmatic issues like power level quantization and truncation of
power are derived and incorporated into the proposed distributed power control
algorithm
Adaptive radio resource management for mobile satellite systems
Word processed copy.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-99).In this thesis, a set of unique strategies and enhanced schemes for adaptive CDMA modulation are devised. A graded resource system is proposed for better radio resource management. Subsequently, a successful adaptive CDMA algorithm is designed and a prioritised processing gain for adaptive CDMA algorithm in satellite system is introduced. The idea of the critical section in the downlink system when a user controller scheme has to be activated to improve the performance is initiated. The diversity technique and rate compatible punctured turbo-code (RCPT), which has been found to give improved throughput performance in a direct sequence (DS) CDMA, are exploited
Ionospheric scintillation studies
The diffracted field of a monochromatic plane wave was characterized by two complex correlation functions. For a Gaussian complex field, these quantities suffice to completely define the statistics of the field. Thus, one can in principle calculate the statistics of any measurable quantity in terms of the model parameters. The best data fits were achieved for intensity statistics derived under the Gaussian statistics hypothesis. The signal structure that achieved the best fit was nearly invariant with scintillation level and irregularity source (ionosphere or solar wind). It was characterized by the fact that more than 80% of the scattered signal power is in phase quadrature with the undeviated or coherent signal component. Thus, the Gaussian-statistics hypothesis is both convenient and accurate for channel modeling work
