In this paper, an energy efficient adaptive modulation scheme is proposed for a wireless cognitive radio ad hoc network, where each node is equipped with cognitive radio and the network is an OFDMA system operating on time slots. In each slot, the users with new traffic demand will sense the spectrum and locate the available subcarrier set. Then they choose subcarriers with favorable channel condition...
The multi-access scheme of 802.11 wireless networks imposes difficulties in achieving predictable service quality in multi-hop networks. In such networks, the residual capacity of wireless links should be estimated for resource allocation services such as flow admission control. In this paper, we propose an accurate and non-intrusive method to estimate the residual bandwidth of an 802.11 link. Inputs...
Wireless network coding has the potential to enhance the capacity of wireless mesh networks (WMNs). However, most of the work considering the practical deployment of network coding in WMNs considers only IEEE 802.11 based medium access control (MAC) layers. The recent emergence of sophisticated MAC standards supporting WMNs (e.g. IEEE 802.16) make it necessary to view the deployment issues for network...
Underwater acoustic channel (UACh) requires robust techniques to get high speed data transmission for reliable communication. This paper presents the adaptive transmission technique in conjunction with the maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique to adapt the UACh fluctuation based on a statistical channel model. Simulation analysis shows that we can optimize the data rate allowing the transmit...
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...
In this paper we discuss performance results of a novel real-time closed-loop power amplifier (PA) linearization technique that has originally been proposed by Ahmed and Li. The novel approach performs on-the-fly prediction and measurement of the PA AM/AM and AM/PM non-linearity, stores such non-linear characteristics and calculates their inverse functions in order to pre-distort the base-band amplitude...
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...
