In this paper, taking into account the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems experiencing log-normal shadowing fading, we investigate the ergodic capacity of such MIMO systems. For the MIMO fading channels with shadowing, using the Gauss Hermite integration, we present an approximated capacity expression. We also give a simplified and improved lower bound on the ergodic capacity by applying...
We consider the problem of rate allocation in a fading Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC) with fixed transmission powers. Our goal is to maximize a general concave utility function of transmission rates over the throughput capacity region. In contrast to earlier works in this context that propose solutions where a potentially complex optimization problem must be solved in every decision instant,...
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...
Huge interest and demand on information superhighway have pressed various telecommunications research fronts and lead to a new form of future Internet consisting of wired and wireless segments where resource-constrained devices such as palm pilots and sensors may become integral parts of the Internet rather than access-only platforms. One of the key design problems is the security in such heterogeneous...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems possess several distinct features such as very high data rate, large multipath or frequency diversity and improved ranging precision while requiring low-power low-complexity transceivers. Among the different modulation schemes, differential PSK is an attractive option because it does not require channel estimation, and hence reduces implementation complexity. This paper...
Unequal error protection is the key to future transport of multimedia data. The paper presents an overview of some new approaches realizing UEP properties in physical transport, especially multicarrier modulation, or with LDPC and turbo codes. For multicarrier modulation, a UEP bit-loading method is described allowing for an arbitrary number of classes, arbitrary SNR margins between the classes and...
