ASAC CAACIY COIG A IEEECE CACEAIO I MUIUSE MUICAIE WIEESS COMMUICAIOS SYSEMS b Chrtn Ibr C Multicarrier modulation and multiuser systems have generated a great deal of research during the last decade. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation generated with the inverse Discrete Fourier Transform, which has been adopted for standards in wireless and wire-line communications. Multiuser wireless systems using multicarrier modulation suffer from the effects of dispersive fading channels, which create multi-access, inter-symbol, and inter-carrier interference (MAI, ISI, ICI). Nevertheless, channel dispersion also provides diversity, which can be exploited and has the potential to increase robustness against fading. Multiuser multi- carrier systems can be implemented using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), a flexible orthogonal multiplexing scheme that can implement time and frequency division multiplexing, and using multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA). Coding, interference cancellation, and resource sharing schemes to improve the performance of multiuser multicarrier systems on wireless channels were addressed in this dissertation. Performance of multiple access schemes applied to a downlink multiuser wireless system was studied from an information theory perspective and from a more practical perspective. For time, frequency, and code division, implemented using OFDMA and MC-CDMA, the system outage capacity region was calculated for a correlated fading channel. It was found that receiver complexity determines which scheme offers larger capacity regions, and that OFDMA results in a better compromise between complexity and performance than MC-CDMA. From the more practical perspective of bit error rate, the effects of channel coding and interleaving were investigated. Results in terms of coding bounds as well as simulation were obtained, showing that OFDMA- based orthogonal multiple access schemes are more sensitive to the effectiveness of the code to provide diversity than non-orthogonal, MC-CDMA-based schemes. While cellular multiuser schemes suffer mainly from MAI, OFDM-based broad- casting systems suffer from ICI, in particular when operating as a single frequency network (SFN). It was found that for SFN the performance of a conventional OFDM receiver rapidly degrades when transmitters have frequency synchronization errors. Several methods based on linear and decision-feedback ICI cancellation were proposed and evaluated, showing improved robustness against ICI. System function characterization of time-variant dispersive channels is important for understanding their effects on single carrier and multicarrier modulation. Using time-frequency duality it was shown that MC-CDMA and DS-CDMA are strictly dual on dispersive channels. This property was used to derive optimal matched filter structures, and to determine a criterion for the selection of spreading sequences for both DS and MC CDMA. The analysis of multiple antenna systems provided a unified framework for the study of DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA on time and frequency dispersive channels, which can also be used to compare their performance.

As the cost of implementing broadband access soars, the best alternative will be to use fixed wireless for these services. This thesis addresses the possibility of 3rd Generation (3G) mobile cellular wireless systems as the basis for fixed broadband wireless service. Two of the 3G technologies aimed at providing fixed broadband wireless access are Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This thesis aims to provide a preliminary study on using TD-SCDMA and OFDM for broadband wireless systems. Currently, there is not enough theory and information to establish the feasibility of using either of these technologies for broadband wireless access. First, the basic features and background on synchronous CDMA and OFDM are presented for the reader to better understand these technologies. Then, an example TD-SCDMA system is described, and some analytical and experimental results are presented.

Mobile cellular environments are expected to evolve with the technological approaches necessary to facilitate the deployment of multimedia services, such as streaming, file download, and carousel services. The perspective that video streaming in wireless networks services is an attractive service to end-users has spurred the research in this area. To provide for a video delivery platform in UMTS, the third generation partnership project (3GPP) addressed this problem with the introduction of the multimedia broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) in 3GPP Release 6. In this document we analyse several effective radio resource management techniques to provide MBMS, namely, use of nonuniform QAM constel- lations, multicode, and macrodiversity to guarantee the optimal distribution of QoS depending on the location of mobiles.

El Astal LOGO 13.1 Introduction AWGN channels Rayleigh Fading In AWGN, it may that a 10-dB SNR leads to BERs on the order of 10−4. but in fading channels, we need an SNR on the order of 40 dB in order to achieve a 10−4 BER, which is clearly unpractical. CONT. deep fading (very low SNR) The reason ??? is the fading of the channel; since the fading cause to have an attenuation being large, and thus of the instantaneous SNR being low, so the BER be high. CONT. The Solution!!!! Make sure that the SNR at Rx. has a smaller probability of being low. =make sure that the signal has a smaller probability to have a large attenuation 13.1.1 Principle of Diversity The principle of diversity is to ensure that the same information reaches the receiver (RX) on statistically independent channels. Example: SNR BER-DFSK If Pnoise is 50 pW. Consider the following two cases : 0dB 0.5 An AWGN channel with Psig,avg is 1 nW. A fading channel where during 90% of the time the ....... …... received power is 1.11 nW, while for the remainder, it is …… …… zero. 13dB 10−9 1.

BER with assuming it is selection diversity in the following cases: a. one received antenna. b. two received antenna. c. three received antenna 13.1.2 Definition of the Correlation Coefficient Any correlation between the fading of the channels decreases the effectiveness of diversity, why?? The most important one is the correlation coefficient of signal envelopes x and y: For two statistically independent signals E{xy} = E{x}E{y} ρxy=0 Signals are often said to be “effectively” decorrelated if ρ is below a certain threshold (typically 0.5 or 0.7).

  • Diversity Reception in Radiocommunication Links
    VIII. Évfolyam 1. szám - 2013. március Róbert Kovács [email protected] DIVERSITY RECEPTION IN RADIOCOMMUNICATION LINKS Abstract The increased throughput capacity needs in wireless audio video and data transmission networks demanded by the information society of the 21st century are satisfied by commonly used, enhanced, digital high bitrate radio transmission technologies. Versatility in conditions of the surrounding enviroment (e.g. physical nature of atmosphere and ionosphere, mobile communications, urban environment, digital transmissions) implies continuous wide range fluctuation in radio channel parameters. To eliminate these negative effects there are some advanced technologies supporting our radio devices in the background. The purpose of this article is to present the fundamentals of one of these technologies namely the not generally known, but everyday used diversity reception technique and to provide a systematic overview of the variety of its application branches. A 21. század információs társadalmának megnövekedett vezeték nélküli hang- kép- és adatátviteli igényeit általánosan használt, fejlett, digitális, nagysebességű rádiós technológiák biztosítják.

  • Radio Resource Management in Bunched Personal Communication Systems
    Radio Resource Management in Bunched Personal Communication Systems MIGUEL BERG A dissertation submitted to the Royal Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2002 TRITA–S3–RST–0201 ISSN 1400–9137 ISRN KTH/RST/R--02/01--SE Radio Communication Systems Department of Signals, Sensors and Systems iii Abstract The traditional way of increasing capacity in a wireless communication system has been cell splitting and fixed channel-allocation based on prediction tools. However, the planning complexity increases rapidly with the number of cells and the method is not suitable for the large temporal and spatial traffic variations expected in the future. A lot of research has therefore been performed regarding adaptive channel allocation, where a channel can be used anywhere as long as the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is acceptable. A common opinion is that these solutions must be decentralized since a centralized one would be overly complex. In this thesis, we study the locally centralized bunch concept for radio resource management (RRM) in a Manhattan environment and show that it can give a very high capacity, both for outdoor users and for indoor users covered by outdoor base stations. We show how measurement limitations and errors affect the performance and we propose methods to handle these problems, e.g. averaging of measured values, robust channel selection algorithms, and increased SIR margins. We also study the computational and signaling complexities and show that they can be reduced by splitting large bunches, using sparse matrix calculations, and by using a simplified admission algorithm.

    4 Radio over Fiber Technology for the Next Generation Hamed Al-Raweshidy 4.1 Introduction Chapters 1 and 2 have presented the main elements of the optical devices and the parameters related to radio over fiber: laser diode performance, intermodulation, RIN, and clipping noise. This chapter discusses in more detail the system performance of radio over fiber on Universal Mobile Tele- communication System/wideband code-division multiple access (UMTS/ WCDMA). We start with an introduction to UMTS and WCDMA with an overview of radio over fiber technology for the UMTS system. The advantages and disadvantages of radio over fiber technology for third-genera- tion (3G) and fourth-generation (4G) systems are also discussed. In addition, a simulation for both radio and optical systems is presented. Furthermore, an analytical model for evaluating the performance of WCDMA-based radio over fiber systems with numerical results showed an improvement in perfor- mance when the effect of voice activity monitoring on intermodulation distortion and clipping noise was taken into account. 4.2 Radio over Fiber Systems Recently, optical fiber microcellular systems, in which microcells in a wide area are connected by optical fibers and radio signals are transmitted over 183 184 Radio over Fiber Technologies for Mobile Communications Networks an optical fiber link among base stations and control stations, has attracted much attention [1].

The transmission between sensor node and sink node in maritime wireless sensor networks is usually unreliable due to the harsh propagation environment. To extend the transmission range or to enhance the transmission reliability between sensor nodes and sink node, we propose a macrodiversity reception scheme in the sink node equipped with distributed multiple hard-decision receivers. Multiple receivers are divided into several clusters and placed at different locations to receive different signal copies suffering from different fadings. Furthermore, a cascaded combining strategy based on hard-decision information is used to reduce the overall complexity of receiving side. The experimental results in the ocean scenarios show that the macrodiversity reception scheme with two antenna clusters has a transmission gain of 3–4 dB compared with the single antenna reception when the package loss rate is 10−2.
