Synchronization in wireless communications
The last decade has witnessed an immense increase of wireless communications services in order to keep pace with the ever increasing demand for higher data rates combined with higher mobility. To satisfy this demand for higher data rates, the throughput over the existing transmission media had to be increased. Several techniques were proposed to boost up the data rate: multicarrier systems to combat selective fading, ultra wide band (UWB) communications systems to share the spectrum with other users, MIMO transmissions to increase the capacity of wireless links, iteratively decodable codes (e.g., turbo codes and LDPC codes) to improve the quality of the link, cognitive radios, and so forth
On Max-SINR Receiver for Hexagonal Multicarrier Transmission Over Doubly Dispersive Channel
In this paper, a novel receiver for Hexagonal Multicarrier Transmission (HMT)
system based on the maximizing Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio
(Max-SINR) criterion is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the prototype
pulse of the proposed Max-SINR receiver should adapt to the root mean square
(RMS) delay spread of the doubly dispersive (DD) channel with exponential power
delay profile and U-shape Doppler spectrum. Simulation results show that the
proposed Max-SINR receiver outperforms traditional projection scheme and
obtains an approximation to the theoretical upper bound SINR performance within
the full range of channel spread factor. Meanwhile, the SINR performance of the
proposed prototype pulse is robust to the estimation error between the
estimated value and the real value of time delay spread.Comment: 6 pages. The paper has been published in Proc. IEEE GLOBECOM 2012.

Waveform Design for 5G and Beyond
5G is envisioned to improve major key performance indicators (KPIs), such as
peak data rate, spectral efficiency, power consumption, complexity, connection
density, latency, and mobility. This chapter aims to provide a complete picture
of the ongoing 5G waveform discussions and overviews the major candidates. It
provides a brief description of the waveform and reveals the 5G use cases and
waveform design requirements. The chapter presents the main features of cyclic
prefix-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) that is deployed in
4G LTE systems. CP-OFDM is the baseline of the 5G waveform discussions since
the performance of a new waveform is usually compared with it. The chapter
examines the essential characteristics of the major waveform candidates along
with the related advantages and disadvantages. It summarizes and compares the
key features of different waveforms.Comment: 22 pages, 21 figures, 2 tables; accepted version (The URL for the

Max-SINR Receiver for HMCT Systems over Non-Stationary Doubly Dispersive Channel
In this paper, a maximizing Signal-to-Interference plus-Noise Ratio
(Max-SINR) receiver for Hexagonal Multicarrier Transmission (HMCT) system over
non-stationary doubly dispersive (NSDD) channel is proposed. The closed-form
timing offset expression of the prototype pulse for the proposed Max-SINR HMCT
receiver over NSDD channel is derived. Simulation results show that the
proposed Max-SINR receiver outperforms traditional projection scheme and
obtains an approximation to the theoretical upper bound SINR performance within
all the local stationarity regions (LSRs). Meanwhile, the SINR performance of
the proposed Max-SINR HMCT receiver is robust to the estimation error between
the estimated value and the real value of root mean square (RMS) delay spread.Comment: This paper has been accepted by URSI GASS 2014 and will be presented

Waveform Design Considerations for 5G Wireless Networks
In this chapter, we first introduce new requirements of 5G wireless network and its differences from past generations. The question “Why do we need new waveforms?” is answered in these respects. In the following sections, time‐frequency (TF) lattice structure, pulse shaping, and multicarrier schemes are discussed in detail. TF lattice structures give information about TF localization of the pulse shape of employed filters. The structures are examined for multicarrier, single‐carrier, time‐division, and frequency‐division multiplexing schemes, comparatively. Dispersion on time and frequency response of these filters may cause interference among symbols and carriers. Thus, effects of different pulse shapes, their corresponding transceiver structures, and trade‐offs are given. Finally, performance evaluations of the selected waveform structures for 5G wireless communication systems are discussed
Doctor of Philosophy
dissertationThe demand for high speed communication has been increasing in the past two decades. Multicarrier communication technology has been suggested to address this demand. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is the most widely used multicarrier technique. However, OFDM has a number of disadvantages in time-varying channels, multiple access, and cognitive radios. On the other hand, filterbank multicarrier (FBMC) communication has been suggested as an alternative to OFDM that can overcome the disadvantages of OFDM. In this dissertation, we investigate the application of filtered multitone (FMT), a subset of FBMC modulation methods, to slow fading and fast fading channels. We investigate the FMT transmitter and receiver in continuous and discrete time domains. An efficient implementation of FMT systems is derived and the conditions for perfect reconstruction in an FBMC communication system are presented. We derive equations for FMT in slow fading channels that allow evaluation of FMT when applied to mobile wireless communication systems. We consider using fractionally spaced per tone channel equalizers with different number of taps. The numerical results are presented to investigate the performance of these equalizers. The numerical results show that single-tap equalizers suffice for typical wireless channels. The equalizer design study is advanced by introducing adaptive equalizers which use channel estimation. We derive equations for a minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimator and improve the channel estimation by considering the finite duration of channel impulse response. The results of optimum equalizers (when channel is known perfectly) are compared with those of the adaptive equalizers, and it is found that a loss of 1 dB or less incurs. We also introduce a new form of FMT which is specially designed to handle doubly dispersive channels. This method is called FMT-dd (FMT for doubly dispersive channels). The proposed FMT-dd is applied to two common methods of data symbol orientation in the time-frequency space grid; namely, rectangular and hexagonal lattices. The performance of these methods along with OFDM and the conventional FMT are compared and a significant improvement in performance is observed. The FMT-dd design is applied to real-world underwater acoustic (UWA) communication channels. The experimental results from an at-sea experiment (ACOMM10) show that this new design provides a significant gain over OFDM. The feasibility of implementing a MIMO system for multicarrier UWA communication channels is studied through computer simulations. Our study emphasizes the bandwidth efficiency of multicarrier MIMO communications .We show that the value of MIMO to UWA communication is very limited
