Carrier recovery techniques on satellite mobile channels
An analytical method and a stored channel model were used to evaluate error performance of uncoded quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) trellis coded modulation (TCM) over shadowed satellite mobile channels in the presence of phase jitter for various carrier recovery techniques
Interworking between WLAN and 3G Cellular Networks: An IMS Based Architecture
In this paper, a novel architecture for interworking of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and the Third Generation (3G) mobile cellular network is presented. This architecture is a hybrid model with additional controls compared with the existing architectures and the use of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), as an arbitrator for coupling and real-time session management. Furthermore, a new networking entity called a mobility manager has been introduced within the IMS for seamless management of vertical handoffs. Efficient strategies for IP address distribution and bypassing high traffic loads form the cellular core network are other benefits of this architecture
Design and performance analysis of network code division multiplexing for wireless sensor networks
© 2015 IEEE. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a wireless sensor network, in which multiple groups of source nodes communicate with their respective destination nodes with the help of a common relay network. A network code division multiplexing (NCDM) scheme is proposed to remove the inter-session interference among multiple transmission sessions at each destination. We focus on analyzing the soft processing algorithm of the NCDM scheme. Based on the analysis results, a new code design criteria for the construction of the generator matrix is proposed. Simulation results show that by following the proposed code design criteria, the bit error ratio (BER) performance gap between the scheme we studied and the serial session scheme can be managed effectively. In serial session scheme, source nodes in a number of groups communicate with their respective destinations in a time division manner
Interference Exploitation Precoding for Multi-level Modulations
In this paper, we investigate the interference exploitation precoding for multi-level modulations in the downlink multi-antenna systems. We mathematically derive the optimal precoding structures based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. Furthermore, by formulating the dual problem, the precoding problem for multi-level modulations can be transformed into a pre-scaling operation using quadratic programming (QP) optimization. Compared to the original second-order cone programming (SOCP) formulation, this transformation that finally leads to a QP optimization allows a considerable complexity reduction. Simulation results validate our derivations on the optimal precoding structure, and demonstrate significant performance improvements for interference exploitation precoding over traditional precoding methods for multi-level modulations
Multiuser Scheduler and FDE Design for SC-FDMA MIMO Systems
This paper presents a novel spatial frequency domain packet scheduling and frequency domain equalization (FDE) algorithm for uplink Single Carrier (SC) Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) multiuser MIMO systems. Our analysis model is confined to 3GPP uplink SC-FDMA transmission with Multi-user (MU) Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM). The results show that the proposed MU-MIMO scheduler in conjunction with the new FDE singificantly increases the maximum achievable rate and improves the bit error rate (BER) performance for the system under consideration
Network coded non-binary LDGM codes based on lattices for a multi-access relay system
© 2015 IEEE. In this paper, we propose a novel network coded non-binary low-density generator matrix (LDGM) code structure for a multi-access relay system, where multiple sources transmit lattice signals to a destination with the help of a relay. Specifically, we first develop a network coded non-binary LDGM code structure by jointly considering lattice-signal transmissions at the sources and the relay. Then we derive the achievable computation rate (ACR) for the proposed system and on that basis optimize the key parameters in the proposed structure to maximize the ACR. Furthermore, we optimize the network coded non-binary LDGM codes based on lattices to approach the ACR. Simulation results show that the optimal setting of the parameters is consistent with that obtained from our analysis and the proposed code structure outperforms the designed reference scheme
Low-complexity precoding for spatial modulation
© 2017 IEEE. In this paper, we investigate linear precoding for spatial modulation (SM) over multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels. With channel state information available at the transmitter, our focus is to maximize the minimum Euclidean distance among all candidates of SM symbols. We prove that the precoder design is a large-scale non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP) problem. However, the conventional methods, such as semi-definite relaxation and iterative concave-convex process, cannot tackle this challenging problem effectively or efficiently. To address this issue, we leverage augmented Lagrangian and dual ascent techniques, and transform the original large-scale non-convex QCQP problem into a sequence of subproblems. These subproblems can be solved in an iterative manner efficiently. Numerical results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the system error performance relative to the SM without precoding, and features extremely fast convergence rate with very low computational complexity
