An antenna switching based NOMA scheme for IEEE 802.15.4 concurrent transmission
This paper introduces a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme to support concurrent transmission of multiple IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Unlike collision avoidance Multiple Access Control (MAC), concurrent transmission supports Concurrent-MAC (C-MAC) where packet collision is allowed. The communication latency can be reduced by C-MAC because a user can transmit immediately without waiting for the completion of other usersâ transmission. The big challenge of concurrent transmission is that error free demodulation of multiple collided packets hardly can be achieved due to severe Multiple Access Interference (MAI). To improve the demodulation performance with MAI presented, we introduce an architecture with multiple switching antennas sharing a single analog transceiver to capture spatial character of different users. Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) algorithm is designed to separate collided packets by utilizing the spatial character. Simulation shows that at least five users can transmit concurrently to the SIC receiver equipped with eight antennas without sacrificing Packet Error Rate
An Energy Efficient Semi-static Power Control and Link Adaptation Scheme in UMTS HSDPA
High speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) has been successfully applied in
commercial systems and improves user experience significantly. However, it
incurs substantial energy consumption. In this paper, we address this issue by
proposing a novel energy efficient semi-static power control and link
adaptation scheme in HSDPA. Through estimating the EE under different
modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and corresponding transmit power, the
proposed scheme can determine the most energy efficient MCS level and transmit
power at the Node B. And then the Node B configure the optimal MCS level and
transmit power. In order to decrease the signaling overhead caused by the
configuration, a dual trigger mechanism is employed. After that, we extend the
proposed scheme to the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) scenarios.
Simulation results confirm the significant EE improvement of our proposed
scheme. Finally, we give a discussion on the potential EE gain and challenge of
the energy efficient mode switching between single input multiple output (SIMO)
and MIMO configuration in HSDPA.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, accepted in EURASIP Journal on Wireless

Future benefits and applications of intelligent on-board processing to VSAT services
The trends and roles of VSAT services in the year 2010 time frame are examined based on an overall network and service model for that period. An estimate of the VSAT traffic is then made and the service and general network requirements are identified. In order to accommodate these traffic needs, four satellite VSAT architectures based on the use of fixed or scanning multibeam antennas in conjunction with IF switching or onboard regeneration and baseband processing are suggested. The performance of each of these architectures is assessed and the key enabling technologies are identified

Application of advanced on-board processing concepts to future satellite communications systems
An initial definition of on-board processing requirements for an advanced satellite communications system to service domestic markets in the 1990's is presented. An exemplar system architecture with both RF on-board switching and demodulation/remodulation baseband processing was used to identify important issues related to system implementation, cost, and technology development
