Data rate improvements for the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network standard through the use of code division multiple access and turbo coding
The widespread use of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and the desire for such products from different vendors to operate together has generated a movement towards standardization. Over the last decade, several organizations worldwide have researched and developed such standards, this includes the IEEE 802.11 committee. One of the important considerations in design and marketing WLAN products is the data rate supported by such products. This thesis deals with the development of a modification of the Direct Sequence (DS) physical layer standard in IEEE 802.11 to allow higher data rates beyond the 1-2Mb/s supported by the standard. More precisely, this thesis proposes using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and turbo coding, an aggressive channel encoding technique, to improve the data rate performance 2-3 times over that in IEEE
802.11. A simplified transceiver design is presented and computer simulations are performed to verify the design and implementation considerations
Detection processes for digital satellite modems
The aim of this study is to devise detectors for digital satellite
modems, that have tolerances to additive white Gaussian noise which
are as close as possible to that for optimal detection, at a fraction
of the equipment complexity required for optimal detection. Computer
simulation tests and theoretical analyses are used to compare the
proposed detectors. [Continues.
A Combined Equaliser and Decoder for Maximum Likelihood Decoding of Convolutional Codes in the presence of ISI. Incorporation into GSM 3GPP Standard
The dissertation describes a new approach in combining the equalising and decoding operations in wireless telecommunications, namely MS decoder. It provides performance results (SNR) and carries out simulations based on GSM 3GPP standard
Performance of Turbo Coded OFDM in Wireless Application
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become a popular
modulation method in high speed wireless communications. By partitioning a wideband
fading channel into flat narrowband channels, OFDM is able to mitigate the detrimental
effects of multi path fading using a simple one- tap equalizer. There is a growing need to
quickly transmit information wirelessly and accurately.
Engineers have already combine techniques such as OFDM suitable for high data rate
transmission with forward error correction (FEC) methods over wireless channels. In this
thesis, we enhance the system throughput of a working OFDM system by adding turbo
coding. The smart use of coding and power allocation in OFDM will be useful to the desired
performance at higher data rates.
Error control codes have become a vital part of modern digital wireless systems,
enabling reliable transmission to be achieved over noisy channels. Over the past decade,
turbo codes have been widely considered to be the most powerful error control code of
practical importance. In the same time-scale, mixed voice/data networks have advanced
further and the concept of global wireless networks and terrestrial links has emerged. Such
networks present the challenge of optimizing error control codes for different channel types,
and for the different qualities of service demanded by voice and data

The SoftPHY Abstraction: from Packets to Symbols in Wireless Network Design
At ever-increasing rates, we are using wireless systems to communicatewith others and retrieve content of interest to us. Current wirelesstechnologies such as WiFi or Zigbee use forward error correction todrive bit error rates down when there are few interferingtransmissions. However, as more of us use wireless networks toretrieve increasingly rich content, interference increases inunpredictable ways. This results in errored bits, degradedthroughput, and eventually, an unusable network. We observe that thisis the result of higher layers working at the packet granularity,whereas they would benefit from a shift in perspective from wholepackets to individual symbols.From real-world experiments on a 31-node testbed of Zigbee andsoftware-defined radios, we find that often, not all of the bitsin corrupted packets share fate. Thus, today's wireless protocolsretransmit packets where only a small number of the constituent bitsin a packet are in error, wasting network resources. In thisdissertation, we will describe a physical layer that passesinformation about its confidence in each decoded symbol up to higherlayers. These SoftPHY hints have many applications, one ofwhich, more efficient link-layer retransmissions, we will describe indetail. PP-ARQ is a link-layer reliable retransmission protocolthat allows a receiver to compactly encode a request forretransmission of only the bits in a packet that are likely in error.Our experimental results show that PP-ARQ increases aggregate networkthroughput by a factor of approximately 2x under variousconditions. Finally, we will place our contributions in the contextof related work and discuss other uses of SoftPHY throughout thewireless networking stack
