An Abstract of Performance Evaluation of 2-D Pilot Aided OFDM System under Hyper-Rayleigh Fading Channel by Haobo Zhen Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering The University of Toledo August 2011 Wireless radio propagation channel is widely known as the most hostile communication channel. Modeling and simulation of wireless fading channel has been an essential issue in the design of communication system. Rayleigh fading and Rician fading model are the most commonly used small scale models in wireless communication. However, recent research shows that some WSN applications where sensor nodes deployed within cavity environment suffer from more severe fading than Rayleigh fading predicted, which is referred to as hyper-Rayleigh fading. Therefore, design of a more applicable model is necessary to describe hyper-Rayleigh fading. Two-wave with diffuse power (TWDP) model is suggested to be the proper model to represent hyper-Rayleigh fading behavior. However, little effort has been made to evaluate the anti-interference capacity of OFDM system under hyper-Rayleigh fading channel. In the thesis, the characteristic of hyper-Rayleigh fading is explored and analyzed. Furthermore, performances of OFDM system with various pilot aided channel estimation techniques under hyper-Rayleigh fading are investigated. Simulation results indicate hyper-Rayleigh fading exhibits worse fading phenomena iii than Rayleigh fading when parameters ∆ and K exceed certain values. OFDM system with 2-D channel estimation demonstrates strong resistance to multipath fading, thus can be regarded as a promising candidate of WSN applications under hyper-Rayleigh fading. iv Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Junghwan Kim for his guidance, his encouragement and support to me.

interference are the major performance degrading factors in wireless/mobile communications. In order to improve and testify the system’s effectiveness to resist fading, modeling and simulation of communication system under fading channel is of great significance in the design of communication system. For different propagation environment, the characteristic of fading channel is diverse and complex. Therefore, design of proper fading model in particular communication circumstance is essential in this regard. Rayleigh fading and Rician fading model are the most commonly used small scale models in wireless communication [1]. However, as wireless sensor networks (WSN) migrate into vastly different applications, conventional Rayleigh and Rician channel model don’t fit in every WSN environment. Recent research [2] [3] shows that some WSN applications where sensor nodes deployed within cavity environment suffer from more severe fading than Rayleigh fading predicted, which is referred to as hyper-Rayleigh fading. Herein, development of a more applicable fading model which

Perfect channel knowledge at the receiver is assumed. Expressions for maximum information rates and outage probabilities are derived. The advantages of transmitter channel knowledge are determined and a critical threshold is found beyond which such channel knowledge gains very little. Asymptotic expressions for the error exponent are found. For the case of transmit diversity closed form expressions for the error exponent and cutoff rate are given. The use of orthogonal modulating signals is shown to be asymptotically optimal in terms of information rate.

  • 2 the Wireless Channel
    CHAPTER 2 The wireless channel A good understanding of the wireless channel, its key physical parameters and the modeling issues, lays the foundation for the rest of the book. This is the goal of this chapter. A defining characteristic of the mobile wireless channel is the variations of the channel strength over time and over frequency. The variations can be roughly divided into two types (Figure 2.1): • Large-scale fading, due to path loss of signal as a function of distance and shadowing by large objects such as buildings and hills. This occurs as the mobile moves through a distance of the order of the cell size, and is typically frequency independent. • Small-scale fading, due to the constructive and destructive interference of the multiple signal paths between the transmitter and receiver. This occurs at the spatialscaleoftheorderofthecarrierwavelength,andisfrequencydependent. We will talk about both types of fading in this chapter, but with more emphasis on the latter. Large-scale fading is more relevant to issues such as cell-site planning. Small-scale multipath fading is more relevant to the design of reliable and efficient communication systems – the focus of this book. We start with the physical modeling of the wireless channel in terms of elec- tromagnetic waves. We then derive an input/output linear time-varying model for the channel, and define some important physical parameters. Finally, we introduce a few statistical models of the channel variation over time and over frequency. 2.1 Physical modeling for wireless channels Wireless channels operate through electromagnetic radiation from the trans- mitter to the receiver.

  • The Impact of Rayleigh Fading Channel Effects on the RF-DNA
    THE IMPACT OF RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNEL EFFECTS ON THE RF-DNA FINGERPRINTING PROCESS By Mohamed Fadul Donald R. Reising Abdul R. Ofoli Assistant Professor UC Foundation Associate Professor (Committee Chair) (Committee Member) Thomas D. Loveless UC Foundation Assistant Professor (Committee Member) THE IMPACT OF RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNEL EFFECTS ON THE RF-DNA FINGERPRINTING PROCESS By Mohamed Fadul A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Science: Engineering The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee August 2018 ii ABSTRACT The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of many electronic and electromechanical devices connected to the Internet. It is estimated that the number of IoT-connected devices will be between 20 and 50 billion by the year 2020. The need for mechanisms to secure IoT networks will increase dramatically as 70% of the edge devices have no encryption. Previous research has proposed RF- DNA fingerprinting to provide wireless network access security through the exploitation of PHY layer features. RF-DNA fingerprinting takes advantage of unique and distinct characteristics that unintentionally occur within a given radio’s transmit chain during waveform generation. In this work, the application of RF-DNA fingerprinting is extended by developing a Nelder-Mead-based algorithm that estimates the coefficients of an indoor Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of the Nelder-Mead estimator is compared to the Least Square estimator and is assessed with degrading signal-to-noise ratio. The Rayleigh channel coefficients set estimated by the Nelder- Mead estimator is used to remove the multipath channel effects from the radio 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.

    ABSTRACT In Part I of this tutorial, the major elements that contribute to fading and their effects in a communication channel were characterized. Here, in Part II, these phenomena are briefly summarized, and emphasis is then placed on methods to cope with these degradation effects. Two particular mitigation techniques are examined: the Viterbi equalizer implemented in the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), and the Rake receiver used in CDMA systems built to meet Interim Standard 95 (IS-95).

  • 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.
