Damit werden Untersuchungen aller ver- fugbaren¨ Methoden, die eine bessere Nutzung der bekanntlich stark eingeschr¨ankt verfugbaren¨ Ressource Frequenz versprechen, notwendig. Dazu geh¨ort die Einfuhrung¨ von Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Strategien genauso wie der Einsatz von Cognitive Radios (CRs) in Overlaysystemen oder die Nutzung der Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Technik. Eine weitere, schon lange bekannte Methode, besteht darin, Relais einzusetzen1. Sie ist in letzter Zeit erneut unter dem Namen Kooperative Kommu- nikation stark in das Interesse der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion geruckt.¨ Praktische Anwendungen finden Relais heute in der Satellitenkommunikation, im Richtfunk und in Sonderanwendungen. In zellularen Systemen werden kooperative Systeme bisher nicht eingesetzt, da sie hier zu einem stark erh¨ohten Signalisierungsauf- kommen fuhren.¨ Allerdings zeichnen sich zurzeit Anwendungen ab, die eine tiefer gehende Besch¨aftigung mit Prinzipien der Kooperativen Kommunikation sinnvoll er- scheinen lassen. Sollen sich z.B. in einer Produktionshalle fur¨ den Materialtransport genutzte Plattformen vollst¨andig autonom bewegen k¨onnen, muss jede Plattform uber¨ eine Kommunikationskomponente verfugen,¨ die sowohl eine Kommunikation von jeder Plattform zu jeder anderen als auch die Verbindung jeder Plattform mit dem Steuer- rechner gestattet. Hier ist Kooperative Kommunikation der von den Plattformen ge- tragenen Endger¨ate untereinander gefragt, z.B. wenn eine Plattform von der direkten Verbindung mit dem Steuerrechner abgeschattet ist. Mit seiner Dissertation Cooperative Communications: Network Design and Incre- mental Relaying liefert Tobias Renk interessante Beitr¨age zur Diskussion uber¨ den Einsatz von Relais.

  • Performance Comparison of Rayleigh and Rician Fading Channels in QAM Modulation Scheme Using Simulink Environment
    International Journal of Computational Engineering Research||Vol, 03||Issue, 5|| Performance Comparison of Rayleigh and Rician Fading Channels In QAM Modulation Scheme Using Simulink Environment P.Sunil Kumar1, Dr.M.G.Sumithra2 and Ms.M.Sarumathi3 1P.G.Scholar, Department of ECE, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam, India 2Professor, Department of ECE, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam, India 3Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam, India ABSTRACT: Fading refers to the fluctuations in signal strength when received at the receiver and it is classified into two types as fast fading and slow fading. The multipath propagation of the transmitted signal, which causes fast fading, is because of the three propagation mechanisms described as reflection, diffraction and scattering. The multiple signal paths may sometimes add constructively or sometimes destructively at the receiver, causing a variation in the power level of the received signal. The received signal envelope of a fast-fading signal is said to follow a Rayleigh distribution if there is no line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver and a Ricean distribution if one such path is available. The Performance comparison of the Rayleigh and Rician Fading channels in Quadrature Amplitude Modulation using Simulink tool is dealt in this paper. KEYWORDS: Fading, Rayleigh, Rician, QAM, Simulink I. INTRODUCTION TO THE LINE OF SIGHT TRANSMISSION: With any communication system, the signal that is received will differ from the signal that is transmitted, due to various transmission impairments. For analog signals, these impairments introduce random modifications that degrade the signal quality. For digital data, bit errors are introduced, a binary 1 is transformed into a binary 0, and vice versa.

  • A Novel Term Weighing Scheme Towards Efficient Crawl of Textual Databases
    International Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications, Volume XII, Special Issue, May 18, www.ijcea.com ISSN 2321-3469 DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCASTING UNDER DIFFERENT MODULATION SCHEMES AND CHANNELS Arvind Venkat M 1, Biswajit Singh 2, Sharon William Raj V 3 1Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, VTU University 2Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, VTU University 3Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, VTU University ABSTRACT: Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is a digital radio standard for broadcasting digital audio radio services, used in countries across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The DAB standard was initiated as a European research project in the 1980s. DAB is more efficient in its use of spectrum than analogue FM radio, and thus offer more radio services for the same given bandwidth. DAB is more robust with regard to noise and multipath fading for mobile listening, since DAB reception quality first degrades rapidly when the signal strength falls below a critical threshold, whereas FM reception quality degrades slowly with the decreasing signal. DAB uses a wide-bandwidth broadcast technology and typically spectra have been allocated for it in Band III (174–240 MHz) and L band (1.452–1.492 GHz), although the scheme allows for operation between 30 and 300 MHz In a digital transmission, Bit Error Rate (BER) is the percentage of bits with errors divided by the total number of bits that have been transmitted, received or processed over a given period of time. The rate is typically expressed as 10 to the negative power. The main purpose is to calculate and compare Bit Error Rate of Digital Audio Broadcast under different channels using QPSK, BPSK modulation schemes for different modes of DAB.

Aside from ionospheric effects, the propagation channels for LMSC systems are also characterized by wideband effects due to multipath fading which makes the channels time-variant and exhibit frequency-selective distortion. Hence, an adequate knowledge and modelling of the propagation channel is necessary for the design and performance evaluation of the LMSC systems. A three-state simulation model for a frequency-selective LMSC channel, which is a combination of Rayleigh, Rician and Loo fading processes, is developed.

The main performance metric for RFID reading efficiency and shortening the reading range to the system is the reliable reading coverage, where the tag can be read with higher detection probability. Most of current researches point of becoming completely unreadable at any distance consider the reader coverage to be determined only by its read in some cases [8]. Usually, these factors are beyond the range assuming monostatic configuration with omni-directional control of the system user and therefore, for a maximum antennas. In this paper, we model and study the effect of cascaded reliable reading range (i.e. 100% successful detection rate), channel fading and readers antenna orientation on the passive proper conditions should be analyzed and defined before any RFID tags, in terms of detection probability. We derive a closed- form expression for passive RFID detection probability taking implementation of the RFID system.
