The digital signal power spectrum of smart IoT devices is greatly needed to provide communication support. The line codes play a significant role in data bit transmission in digital communication. The existing line-coding techniques are designed for traditional computing network technology and power spectrum density to translate data bits into a signal using various line code waveforms. The existing line-code techniques have multiple kinds of issues, such as the utilization of bandwidth, connection synchronization (CS), the direct current (DC) component, and power spectrum density (PSD). These highlighted issues are not adequate in IoT devices in smart cities due to their small size.

  • 4.1 DIGITAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION in Chapter 3, We Discussed Data and Signals
    A computer network is designed to send information from one point to another. This information needs to be converted to either a digital signal or an analog signal for trans• mission. In this chapter, we discuss the first choice, conversion to digital signals; in Chapter 5, we discuss the second choice, conversion to analog signals. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of digital transmission over analog transmission in Chapter 3. In this chapter, we show the schemes and techniques that we use to transmit data digitally. First, we discuss digital-to-digital conversion tech• niques, methods which convert digital data to digital signals. Second, we discuss analog- to-digital conversion techniques, methods which change an analog signal to a digital signal. Finally, we discuss transmission modes. 4.1 DIGITAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION In Chapter 3, we discussed data and signals. We said that data can be either digital or analog. We also said that signals that represent data can also be digital or analog. In this section, we see how we can represent digital data by using digital signals. The conver• sion involves three techniques: line coding, block coding, and scrambling. Line coding is always needed; block coding and scrambling may or may not be needed. Line Coding Line coding is the process of converting digital data to digital signals. We assume that data, in the form of text, numbers, graphical images, audio, or video, are stored in com• puter memory as sequences of bits (see Chapter 1). Line coding converts a sequence of bits to a digital signal. At the sender, digital data are encoded into a digital signal; at the receiver, the digital data are recreated by decoding the digital signal.

  • UNIT: 3 Digital and Analog Transmission
    UNIT: 3 Digital and Analog Transmission DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERSION Digital-to-analog conversion is the process of changing one of the characteristics of an analog signal based on the information in digital data. Figure 5.1 shows the relationship between the digital information, the digital-to-analog modulating process, and the resultant analog signal. A sine wave is defined by three characteristics: amplitude, frequency, and phase. When we vary anyone of these characteristics, we create a different version of that wave. So, by changing one characteristic of a simple electric signal, we can use it to represent digital data. Before we discuss specific methods of digital-to-analog modulation, two basic issues must be reviewed: bit and baud rates and the carrier signal. Aspects of Digital-to-Analog Conversion Before we discuss specific methods of digital-to-analog modulation, two basic issues must be reviewed: bit and baud rates and the carrier signal. Data Element Versus Signal Element Data element is the smallest piece of information to be exchanged, the bit. We also defined a signal element as the smallest unit of a signal that is constant. Data Rate Versus Signal Rate We can define the data rate (bit rate) and the signal rate (baud rate). The relationship between them is S= N/r baud where N is the data rate (bps) and r is the number of data elements carried in one signal element. The value of r in analog transmission is r =log2 L, where L is the type of signal element, not the level. Carrier Signal In analog transmission, the sending device produces a high-frequency signal that acts as a base for the information signal.

  • 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.

Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, PMB 4000, Ogbomoso, Nigeria *E-mail of corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates a three-state simulation model for a frequency-selective land mobile satellite communication (LMSC) channel. 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 propagation characteristics of the proposed
