The rate compatible punctured convolutional code (RCPC code) is an important module in Multi-band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band (MB-OFDM-UWB) indoor positioning system introduced in this paper as a kind of useful channel coding to offer more protection against all kinds of channel noise under indoor channel environments. In this paper, RCPC code for MB-OFDM-UWB indoor...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile embedded systems has been matched by the evolution of a variety of wireless network standards and technologies. The major constraints of wireless embedded systems are limitations of communication bandwidth, processing capabilities, and battery power. Remote wireless embedded systems often act as sensors, which provide data to a certain community. The exchange of data...
A scheme that exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless communication in order to achieve multicast content delivery is presented in this paper. As opposed to broadcasting, this method enables the clients to determine on-line the delivered content, and thus preserves the advantages of an individual service. On the other hand, a multicast content delivery is much more efficient than a unicast content...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation scheme of choice for digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), which is required to operate under high mobility conditions resulting in significant Inter-carrier Interference (ICI). To mitigate ICI, several cancellation schemes have been proposed but they require reliable channel information at the receiver which is quite challenging...
Expected growth in use and implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in different environments and for different applications creates new security challenges. In WSNs, a malicious node may initiate incorrect path information, change the contents of data packets, and even hijack one or more genuine network nodes. As the network reliability completely depends on individual nodespsila presence...
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a critical application in military networks for maintaining situational awareness and conducting battle management at all echelons. But these networks are often subject to frequent disconnections, limited bandwidth, and long delays, especially when using satellite services and field radios. Such conditions are inhospitable to TCP, and thus the standard IRC protocol, which...
This paper studies efficient complex valued matrix manipulations for multi-user STBC-MIMO decoding. A novel method called Alamouti blockwise analytical matrix inversion (ABAMI) is proposed for the inversion of large complex matrices that are based on Alamouti sub-blocks. Another method using a variant of Givens rotation is proposed for fast QR decomposition of this kind of matrices. Our solutions...
Video-streaming can now be offered on third-generation (3G) mobile networks. Most research efforts have focused on video download. This paper presents a detailed study of challenges faced for successfully deploying applications requiring life video upload. Both subjective and objective qualities as well as the effects of mobility are analyzed on real 3G networks. Consequently, video profiles are identified...
