This paper studies the performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN) in the context of binary detection of a deterministic signal. This paper aims to develop a numerical solution for the optimal power allocation scheme via a variation of the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm, which is called the constrained BBO-DE algorithm. This new stochastic optimization algorithm is a hybridization...
In production testing of wireless systems, measurement of EVM (a critical spec that is directly related to bit error rate) incurs significant test time due to the large numbers of symbols that need to be transmitted for reasons of accuracy. In our approach, EVM is modeled as a function of the system static non-idealities (IQ mismatch, gain, IIP3 parameters) and dynamic non-idealities (system noise,...
In many DSP applications (image and voice processing, baseband symbol decoding in high quality communication channels) several dBs of SNR loss can be tolerated without noticeable impact on system level performance. For power optimization in such applications, voltage overscaling can be used to operate the arithmetic circuitry slower than the critical circuit path delay while incurring tolerable SNR...
Production testing of digitally modulated transceivers such as those based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become challenging, particularly in the context of measuring specifications such as error-vector-magnitude (EVM) which require the use of precision test equipment with digital modulation capability and low noise floor. Moreover, test time is an issue due to the need to...
As channel conditions in wireless communications improve, the noise performance of the baseband DSP processor can be degraded to save power without compromising bit error rate. The degradation of baseband signal noise is achieved by degrading the noise performance (reducing the wordlength and supply voltage) of the various baseband signal processing modules in specific proportions defined by a locus,...
