This work deals with M-sequence UWB Radio architectures for high-precision indoor localization and low data rate radio transmission. So far, UWB M-sequence devices were only used in Radar mode which applies wired synchronization between transmitter and receiver. Radio systems have different architecture since receiver and transmitter are spatially separated from each other. This paper focuses on the...
This paper proposes a practical synchronization algorithm for Transmit-Reference UWB receiver which uses sliding window and supports flexible sampling rates. Additionally, a Simulink model and implementation of synchronization algorithm in receiver by hardware description language (HDL) is also developed using model-based design. Finally, we assess impact of signal-noise-rate (SNR), number of bits...
The paper presents the concept, design and analysis for a visible light communications receiver which has a full 180° perception angle thus offering the guard against blocking and enhancing the system mobility. The proposed receiver includes seven sub-receivers with the proposed geometrical shape investigated and analyzed in MATLAB® for evaluating the received power, RMS delay spread and corresponding...
We consider a setting in which a receiver uses a sequence of short, narrowband training burst signals from a transmitter to jointly estimate the time delay and frequency offset of its local clock with respect to the transmitter. A key challenge in this estimation problem is in handling cycle-slips arising from ambiguities in phase unwrapping when (a) the repetition rate of the training signal is small...
Primary results of fundamental research in the field of radar theory are presented. The novelty of the research consists in the following: within the scope of energy conservation law and Bayes statistical decision theory a new approach to the process of target radar signals detection on the basis of energy criterion is considered. A condition for radio-signals optimal energy detection against a background...
This paper presents results of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) LOLA (achieving LOw LAtency in wireless communications) project about the design of a cooperative broadcast (CB) technique based on a decode and forward (DF) protocol, in the context of a clusterized wireless mesh network (WMN) based on 3GPP LTE PHY/MAC layers. The CB technique is compared to a baseline broadcast technique, obtained...
This paper investigates performance tradeoffs between energy and information transfer in a relay based two-hop wireless system involving an energy harvesting receiver. The source and relay nodes of the two-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) system employ orthogonal space-time block codes along with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme. The joint optimal source and relay precoders over...
The existing energy saving algorithms are implemented only with one kind of Passive Optical Network (PON). However, as far as Ethernet PON (EPON), good performances can not be reached simultaneously in both 10G-EPON and 1G-EPON. 10G-EPON can provide higher throughput and lower delay than 1G-EPON, but it consumes more energy. Therefore, to obtain trade-off performances, we propose a new Energy Saving...
In mobile cognitive radio networks, the expected delay for a packet to be delivered to its destination via a singlehop communication (without relaying) is a fundamental metric that can provide a guidance to multi-hop routing protocol design and route planning. In this paper, we characterize the impact of PU activities, spectrum availabilities, channel bandwidth, MAC access, SU mobilities, and interference,...
A new approach of indoor positioning has recently been proposed: the repealite system. It aims at providing a continuity of the positioning service through the use of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) signals, thus leading to a single technological mean, the GNSS receiver, for both outdoors and indoors. A few error sources have to be dealt with in order to reach sub-meter accuracy, among...
Due to diverse network latencies, participants in a Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) may observe different inconsistency levels of the simulated virtual world, which can seriously affect fair competition among them. In this paper, we investigate how to disseminate Dead Reckoning (DR)-based updates with the objectives of achieving fairness among participants and reducing inconsistency as much...
Future Internet research activities try to increase the flexibility of the Internet. A well known approach in this area is to build protocol graphs by connecting functional blocks together. The protocol graph that should be used is the one most suitable to the application's requirements. This paper presents a Multistep Process Model to find the most suitable protocol graph. We evaluate our proposed...
TCP In cast good put collapse, as a practical problem found in cluster-based storage networks and data center networks, attracts increasing attentions recently. This paper proposes a simple good put model of TCP In cast. Compared with previous In cast model, this model has three different properties. First, the TCP slow start process is considered as an essential part rather than a negligible one,...
One of the possible solutions is to use space division multiplexing in order to overcome the capacity crunch. Few mode fibers (FMF) have attracted a lot of attention in the recent years, however still a lot of research is required to enable transmission over FMF. One of the problems with the realization of FMF transmission is that these fibers have a modal dispersion which results in high number of...
This paper proposes an audio-data hiding scheme for amplitude-modulation (AM) radio broadcasting systems. The digital-audio method of watermarking based on cochlear delay (CD) that we previously proposed is employed in this scheme to send an inaudible message. We investigate the feasibility of a data-hiding scheme in the AM domain by applying the method of CD-based inaudible watermarking. The proposed...
In this paper, we proposed an asynchronous wave-pipelined Serializer and Deserializer, or WP-SERDES in brief, that is totally clock-free. In contrast to conventional SERDES that employ power hungry phase-locked loops (PLLs) for synchronization in serializers and clock-data recovery (CDR) circuits in deserializers, the proposed WP-SERDES employs delay elements (DEs) consisting of inverter chains for...
In this paper, the connectionless multicast routing MCOM (Multipoint relay Connectionless Multicast) is introduced for mobile Ad hoc networks. MCOM adapts over a wide ranges of density of group members. It appears as unicast with few receivers and as flooding protocol, similar to Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF), with many receivers. MCOM utilizes the forwarding structure Multipoint relay (MPR)...
An absolute calibrate of BOC signal transmitting channel on navigation satellite based on software defined radio is addressed. At first, the BOC navigation signal and the pulse per second (PPS) generated by navigation time keeping system are sampled synchronously. After the sampling data of BOC signal is preprocessed, a serial-to-parallel transform is done for the intermediate frequency carried BOC...
This study proposes an energy detection based time synchronization scheme for IR-UWB systems. The proposed synchronization scheme may achieve symbol timing synchronization within a symbol interval. The mean square error (MSE) performance of the proposed scheme is compared with that of the TDLC algorithm, in both residential line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation environments...
Wireless sensor networks are appealing to researchers due to their wide range of application potential in areas such as target detection and tracking, environmental monitoring, and tactical systems. However, lower sensing ranges result in dense networks, which bring the necessity to achieve an effcient medium access protocl subject to power constraints. Various MAC protocols with different objectives...
