Statistics that are obtained from the demodulator are used in a direct-sequence spread-spectrum receiver to provide an estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio. We evaluate the applicability to spread-spectrum multiple-access systems of an SNR estimator that was proposed previously for SNR estimation in systems for which the only disturbance is thermal noise. The proposed estimate does not require the...
Effective adaptation of error-control coding in a packet radio network requires certain statistics to be developed in the demodulator and decoder of the receiving radio during the reception of each packet. The statistics from one packet are employed to select the code for the next packet. The design and evaluation of cross-layer protocols that use such statistics typically require numerous simulations...
Statistics obtained during demodulation are used in a direct-sequence spread-spectrum packet radio network to govern the adjustment of transmitter power within the first few packets of a session. The statistics are also employed by an adaptive transmission protocol to select the modulation parameters and the rate of the error-control code for each packet. The power-adjustment protocol uses the statistics...
Packet radios for tactical networks must be able to communicate over highly dynamic links that are susceptible to variations in propagation loss, jamming, and multiple-access interference. We describe and evaluate an adaptive scaling metric for soft-decision decoding in direct-sequence spread-spectrum receivers for tactical radio networks. The metric is derived from post-detection signal quality statistics...
Cognitive radios that are employed in a network with dynamic frequency assignments must operate efficiently in the presence of uncertainties and variations in the propagation characteristics of the network's communication links. A low-complexity adaptive transmission protocol is described and evaluated for use in cognitive radio networks whose links have unknown and possibly time-varying propagation...
