The focus of this paper is on the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system considering the combined influence of receiver noise, Rayleigh fading and the timing error due to imperfect slot synchronization at the receiver. Performance results are presented in terms of BER, BER improvement and BER-floor in presence of inter-channel interference (ICI) and...
Transmit diversity generally requires more than one antenna at the transmitter. However, many wireless devices are limited by size or hardware complexity to one antenna. Recently, a new class of methods called cooperative communication has been proposed that enables single antenna mobiles in a multiuser environment to share their antennas and generate a virtual multiple-antenna transmitter that allows...
Cooperative decoding is powerful technique for establishing good quality TV broadcasting. In cooperative decoding, some TV receivers, nodes, are cooperated, each other. These share the received information signal and thus obtain good quality information signal. Incremental-Maximum Ratio Combining (I-MRC) is one of the cooperative decoding methods. In I-MRC, the best condition's node and second one...
OFDMA is a potential technology that can flexibly allocate subcarriers while providing diversity gain to multiple users. In our recent work, we showed a surprising result that the maximum frequency diversity gain in OFDMA systems is equal to the number of independent subcarriers, i.e., the same as that in point-to-point OFDM systems despite of the fact that multiple users will share a common set of...
Spectrum sensing is a key enabling technology of cognitive radio. Reliable detection increases access opportunity to temporarily unused bands and prevents harmful interference to the licensed users. Due to the receiver noise, signal attenuation, and multi-path fading effect, however, it is usually not possible to determine the existence of primary signal with absolute certainty. Without the information...
In this paper we are introducing a new generation of 802.11n wireless network standard. The objective is to obtain numerical values for various measures of networking performance of 802.11n by simulating the system using Simulink. Our initial approach was to investigate the abilities of 802.11n standard to model a transmitter and receiver that communicated over a user defined channel. In wireless...
With the proliferation of wireless multimedia applications, multicast/broadcast has been recognized as an efficient technique to transmit a large volume of data to multiple mobile stations at the same time. In most multicast systems, the transmitter (e.g., base station) adapts its data rate to the worst channel among all users in the multicast group, so as to guarantee service quality to each user...
