In this paper we apply approximate and multiscale entropy metrics to spectrum occupancy data gathered during an extensive measurement campaign. We show that the presented methods can be successfully applied to search for and quantify structures of highly varying complexities and time scales. Although structures can be found they are unfortunately relatively complex and it does not appear to be easy...
Considering the high packet losses and low, varying bandwidth of GPRS/EDGE network and limited computation power of handheld devices, we present and implement a novel SVC video-on-demand system for hand-held devices over GPRS/EDGE network. For the purpose of handling varying bitrate, we propose a priority based layer switching (PLS) adaptation scheme for SVC stream, which not only performs online...
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
The next generation of wireless networks (4G) will use OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) in the reverse link. In OFDMA, the reverse link resources assigned to a user are called tiles each of which consists of a subset of consecutive subcarriers. Since at most one user is assigned to each of these tiles then reverse link transmissions within a sector are orthogonal. However, the...
This paper investigates the effective gain of antennas in indoor channels. A metric called instantaneous effective gain is proposed, and a multiple-cluster 3D channel model is used to facilitate the proposed antenna effective gain. In the multiple-cluster channel model, Laplacian and double exponential distribution are utilized to model azimuth and elevation signal power distribution respectively,...
