In this paper, we propose a robust STBC transmission scheme to combat the timing synchronization errors over frequency-selective multiple-access channels. First, the equivalent channel model in the presence of timing synchronization errors is derived and we find that the synchronization errors result in an equivalent channel model with larger number of correlated channel taps. Based on this correlated...
This work studies the performance of a data-driven reduced rank scheme for rapid timing acquisition in multiple access communications. Our results show that when only a limited amount of preamble bits are available, instead of the true second-order statistics (SOS), the reduced rank scheme provides reliable timing information. Exploiting the structure of the multiple access interference, the data...
A new construction of a full-diversity full-rate space-time block code (FDFR-STBC) is presented in this paper. The design is for 2 transmit antennas and 2 time slots. The code outperforms the previous FDFR-STBC codes in [3], [4], [5], [6] for 1 receive antenna. We reduce the decoding complexity by exploiting the algebraic structure of the code and using the hybrid maximum-likelihood interference cancellation...
In this paper, the design of a compact planar bandpass filter above a defected ground plane is presented. The filter is designed as a combination of microstrip resonators and exploits the properties of a planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure patterned unto the ground plane of the printed circuit board material to provide a very wide stopband of up to 5 times the fundamental frequency. The...
Optical communication systems based on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) would benefit from the ability to adjust the operating wavelength of a laser transmitter. Previous attempts, including thermal adjustment, etalon based wavelength locking, and various types of optical frequency and phase locked loops such as the Pound-Drever-Hall technique suffer from weaknesses including sensitivity...
This paper addresses adaptive channel estimation for time-varying mobile wireless channels with nonstationary statistics. We presents a reduced complexity adaptive channel estimator based on a set membership filtering approach known as the Optimal Bounding Ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm. To exploit time and frequency domain correlation properties of the channel in an efficient low-complexity way, we allow...
Correlative minimum shift keying (MSK), a second order polynomial modulation scheme known as tamed frequency modulation (TFM), is a constant envelope type of modulation with a perfect peak to average power ratio (PAPR), besides the property of low out of band power. We apply the linearized TFM to the single carrier transmission with frequency domain equalization (SC/FDE) concept. We then obtain a...
In this paper we consider the coexistence issue between OFDM-based WLANs of the 802.11a family and time-hopping ultra wideband (TH-UWB) systems. A general analytical expression is provided for the bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM transceiver operating in the presence of UWB interference and the interferences caused by the multipath propagation phenomenon on the 802.11a OFDM signal, comprising intersymbol...
Due to resource constraints, digital image transmissions are a significant challenge for image sensor based wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this paper, we propose a novel robust and energy-efficient scheme, called image component transmission (ICT) in WSN by providing various levels of reliability during image transmissions. Essential components such as the information for the positions of significant...
