A non-orthogonal multicarrier signal, termed spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM), is investigated in this work. It improves spectral efficiency by compressing sub-carrier spacing below the symbol rate at the cost of self-created inter carrier interference (ICI). Sphere decoding (SD) is an efficient method to recover signals approaching maximum likelihood (ML) performance....
In digital communication systems the use of filters that fulfill the first Nyquist criterion (Nyquist-I), guarantees that a sequence of pulses will not be affected by inter-symbol interference (ISI) if the receiver samples signals at optimum and uniformly spaced instants. In this manuscript the Nyquist-I pulse, called exponential linear pulse (ELP), is evaluated in the time and frequency domain using...
Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) based Cognitive Radio (CR) allows a secondary user (SU) to use spectrum in an opportunistic manner when the primary user (PU) of that spectrum is not transmitting. Conventional dynamic spectrum allocation methods deal with acquiring spectrum as fixed width channels. In this paper, we propose a novel technique where a node inside a network can dynamically access the spectrum...
This paper investigates the resource allocation problem in heterogeneous cognitive radio networks (HCRNs). In this paper, two types of users, i.e., multi-homing and single-network cognitive radio users (CRUs), are considered to coexist in HCRNs. Multi-homing CRUs can access multiple networks simultaneously, while single-network CRUs can be served by only one network at a time. With the aim of maximizing...
RF self-interference cancellation for Full-Duplex communication with a microwave photonic technique is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. It is based on an integrated dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM), where the sub-MZMs (MZM1 and MZM2) are biased at the quadrature point and the minimum point, respectively. It avoids the optical interference at the combining Y branch waveguide....
Penetration of multimedia communications with mobile Wi-Fi and tethering requires wireless LANs (WLANs) to guarantee a specific bandwidth in densely deployed WLANs. IEEE802.11e (HCCA) with 802.11aa could use inefficiently radio frequency as well as fail to provide each WLAN with enough CFP period in which sending opportunity of a terminal is guaranteed. To guarantee a specific bandwidth even in densely...
Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) techniques are proposed as solutions to alleviate the negative impact of interference on system performance, while enhancing the provided Quality of Service (QoS). Typically, the available bandwidth is divided into inner and edge sub-bands. Users are also classified into interior and edge users. The available resources in each zone are exclusively allocated...
Modern multi-core systems employ shared memory architecture, entailing problems related to the main memory such as row-buffer conflicts, time-varying hot-spots across memory channels, and superfluous switches between reads and writes originating from different cores. There have been proposals to solve these problems by partitioning main memory across banks and/or channels such that a DRAM bank is...
In the paper, we studied the solution of resource allocation problem with Coordinated Multi-Point(CoMP) in heterogeneous wireless networks. The utilization of CoMP technology enhances channel quality of users at the edge of cells, but it also brings more complexity to resource management of the network. To reduce this pressure, we exploited a feedback-based method to determine the allocation of users...
This paper proposes an integrated visible light communication and positioning (VLCP) system using filter bank multicarrier-based subcarrier multiplexing. Simulation results show that the proposed VLCP system achieves higher positioning accuracy and better bit error rate performance than the VLCP system using conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based subcarrier multiplexing.
This paper investigates a time sharing (TS) based user pairing strategy to accommodate similar gain users in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems, termed as TS- NOMA. A scenario is considered in which the distribution of users in a cellular area is non-uniform, such that the number of cell center users is less than cell edge users. In this case, if two user conventional NOMA (C-NOMA) pairing...
mm-Wave is a promising technology to meet the enormous bandwidth demands of the future generation cellular networks. This technology has vast amount of unused bandwidth, but has problem of human blockage. Blockage mitigation methods for indoor environments cannot be applied to outdoor scenarios effectively. In this paper, we mitigate human blockage of the mm-Wave technology by proposing an algorithm...
Wi-Fi enabled hand-held devices have quickly occupied the consumer market as a result of the remarkable customer acceptance of IEEE 802.11 standard. In this regard, the demand of high throughput introduces high throughput standards such as IEEE 802.11ac. It supports Dynamic Bandwidth Channel Access (DBCA), where a wireless station selects channel bandwidth dynamically based on the availability of...
The rapid growth of new radio technologies for Smart City/Building/Home applications means that models of cross-technology interference are needed to inform the development of higher layer protocols and applications. We systematically investigate interference interactions between LoRa and IEEE 802.15.4g networks. Our results show that LoRa can obtain high packet reception rates, even in presence of...
With the development of wireless transmission technology, the coexistence of a variety of network protocols is inevitable in industrial control networks for a certain period of time. Due to the lack of a necessary coordination mechanism between different network protocols, this may impact the transmission performance of the backhaul network connecting several subnetworks with different protocols when...
Cognitive radio network (CRN) is regarded as an emerging technology for better spectrum efficiency where unlicensed secondary users (SUs) sense RF spectrum to find idle channels and access them opportunistically without causing any harmful interference to licensed primary users (PUs). However, RF spectrum sensing and sharing along with reconfigurable capabilities of SUs bring severe security vulnerabilities...
Maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are a class of erasure codes that are widely adopted to enhance the reliability of distributed storage systems (DSS). In this paper, we develop a new approach to construction of simple (5, 3) MDS codes. With judiciously block-designed generator matrices, we show that the proposed MDS codes have a minimum stripe size α = 2 and can be constructed over a small (Galois)...
Among the high-radix and low-diameter networks, fat-tree topology is commonly used in HPC and datacenter systems. Resource and job management is critically important to mitigate application interference in order to achieve high system performance and utilization. Preliminary studies have shown the effect of job placement on parallel scientific applications performance. In this work we study interference...
This paper tackles the study of the nondesired effects in the detection capabilities and system resolution of Passive Radar (PR) solutions due to sporadic interference. Real radar data acquired by IDEPAR demonstrator (DVB-T based PR system developed by the University of Alcala) with the presence of an interference were considered. The ambiguity function is calculated to estimate the pedestal mean...
Same frequency networking (SFN) technology is widely used in modern wireless network to achieve high area spectrum efficiency. However, it brings the inter-cell interference to the users at the cell edge. Frequency allocation and power control is extensively used to diminish the effect of the interference. Most of the researches are focus on the downlink data transmission due to the fact that the...
