    Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access : Is it the Multiple Access System of the Future? Srikanth S., Kumaran V. , Manikandan C., Murugesapandian AU-KBC Research center, Anna University, Chennai, India Email: [email protected] Abstract There is significant interest worldwide in the development of technologies for broadband cellular wireless (BCW) systems. One of the key technologies which is becoming the de- facto technology for use in BCW systems is the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme. In this tutorial article, we discuss the reasons for the popularity of OFDMA and outline some of the important concepts which are used in OFDMA as applied to BCW systems. We shall use the IEEE 802.16 based WiMAX standards for highlighting some of the significant ideas in the practical use of OFDMA systems. 1. Introduction Broadband Cellular Wireless (BCW) systems are expected to be rolled out in the near future to satisfy demands from various segments. As demand for mobile services continuous to grow worldwide system vendors and cellular operators have noticed the enormous popularity of 2nd generation mobile cellular systems and are keen to extend this trend to BCW systems. Several challenges exist in the development and deployment of BCW systems and research work addressing these challenges is ongoing in several labs around the world. The orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based systems are being adopted for use in different flavors of BCW systems [1]. The IEEE 802.16d and 802.16e standards which are popularly known by the industry forum name WiMAX are being considered for BCW systems and are the first standards to use the OFDMA technique [2].

  • Applying Distributed Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding in Cooperative Communication Networks
    APPLYING DISTRIBUTED ORTHOGONAL SPACE TIME BLOCK CODING IN COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS JAMES ADU ANSERE ODION EHIMIAGHE This thesis is presented as part of the Degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Telecommunication Blekinge Institute of Technology April 2012 School of Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Supervisor: Professor Abbas Mohammed ABSTRACT In this research, we investigate cooperative spectrum sensing using distributed orthogonal space time block coding (DOSTBC). Multiple antennas are introduced at the transmitter and the receiver to achieve higher cooperative diversity in the cooperative wireless (CW) networks. The received signals from the primary users (PUs) at the cooperative relays (CRs) are encoded and retransmitted to the cooperative controller (CC), where further decisions are made depending on the information sent from the CRs. The cooperative relaying protocol employed here in CRs is based on decoding forward (DF) technique. The proposed Alamouti scheme in orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC) has been found to enhance detection performance in CW networks. The analyses over independent Rayleigh fading channels are performed by the energy detector. In CW networks the secondary users (SUs) use the available frequency band as the PUs is absent. The SU discontinue using the licensed band and head off as soon as the PU is present. The SUs is more responsive and intelligent in detecting the spectrum holes. The principal aim of the CW network is to use the available holes without causing any interference to the PUs. The CRs are preferably placed close to the PU to detect transmitted signal, with decoding capability the information collected are decoded by CRs using Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding technique.

However, the expected benefits of these technologies cannot be achieved without a proper system design. In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly optimizing terminal precoders/decoders and relay forwarding matrices on the basis of the sum mean square error (MSE) criterion in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay systems, where two multi-antenna nodes mutually exchange information via multi-antenna amplify-and-forward relays. This problem is nonconvex and a local optimal solution is typically found by using iterative algorithms based on alternating optimization. We show how the constrained minimization of the sum-MSE can be relaxed to obtain two separated subproblems which, under mild conditions, admit a closed-form solution.
