In ad hoc networks, a distributed timing synchronization is studied using a firefly-inspired approach. We illuminate the exiting synchronization algorithm based on the theory of pulse-coupled oscillators so that the algorithm can be applied to multi-carrier systems through packet-based communications, where nodes communicate over an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access air interface. As our main result, we introduce a new sync-code detector, which optimally designs both the coupling function and the detection threshold when various network parameters such as the number of nodes in the network and network topology are given a priori. Computer simulations are performed to show the convergence to a synchronized state in realistic network environments.

Selected mapping is well-known scheme for peak to average power ratio(PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency multiplexing(OFDM) systems. In this paper, we proposed a new scheme for generating a set of candidate transmission sequences. In conventional SLM, candidate sequences were generated by rotating the phases of the frequency domain OFDM M-ary symbols but in proposed scheme, candidate sequences are generated by multiplying the m-sequences with data in bit format of OFDM signals. Computer simulation results show that, as compared to the conventional SLM scheme, the proposed approach has better PAPR reduction performance and especially in case of OFDM systems which has small number of subcarriers has better performance than large ones.

In this paper, we propose a novel channel estimation method based on pilot channel in a frequency interleaved multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA). Using the chip interleaving (CI) technique in the frequency domain make it possible to achieve higher frequency diversity gain than the system with conventional symbol interleaving. However, in CI-MC-CDMA systems, a pilot channel-based channel estimation (PCCE) cannot be applied because the orthogonality between pilot symbols and the data symbol is not maintained. The proposed method alters the system structure in order to maintain orthogonality between data and pilot channels over two consecutive subcarriers. Therefore, it can obtain accurate channel state information (CSI) in CI-MC-CDMA.

We consider an OFDM based multiple AF relaying systems. Since the channel between first hop (source station-relay station) and second hop (relay station -destination station) varies independently, the subcarrier in the first hop can be paired to another subcarrier in the second hop for the increase of the system capacity. The conventional pairing which uses the brute force searching requires large complexity while giving optimal pairing for maximum system capacity. In this paper, we present sub-optimal subcarrier pairing scheme with low complexity. Every RS firstly pairs the subcarrier with the highest channel gain in the first hop to the subcarrier with highest channel gain in the second hop. The pair with the highest SNR among all the pairs is determined as final selected pair and the corresponding subcarriers are not selected at other RSs in the next paring iteration. This process is repeated until all the subcarriers are paired. Simulation results show the proposed pairing scheme achieves near optimal performance with low complexity.

In this paper, we propose multicarrier CDMA system using the concept of the modulation level-controlled system in order to make the system robust to the frequency selectivity and to provide a maximum data rate maintaining an acceptable transmission quality over various channel environments. This system selects higher data rate when the channel experiences the low delay spread and slow fading. On the other hand, when the fading changes very fast and the delay spread is very long, the system selects lower data rate. In both cases, the system controls the number of serial-to-parallel converted streams and the number of fed streams. This system has the fixed number of sub-carriers. So the product of tile number of serial-to-parallel converted streams and the number of fed streams is always kept constant. With the same data fed at different sub-carriers, the frequency diversity is achieved. And a RAKE receiver also is utilized to achieve path (time) diversity.

In this paper, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity in the multipath Rayleigh fading environment is analyzed and compared with that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system. Each carriers of the number of the input diversity branches in the Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is L and among L, the branches of $L_c$ are chosen to be maximum-ratio-combined. And the diversity outputs are coherent-detected and despread by the correlator of each carrier. As the result, we have known that the structure of the Wideband DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC-L_{c}/L$ diversity reception becomes simple due to no synchronization of bit or phase and in terms of the error performance, the performance of Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity is better than that of selection diversity, but worse than that of MRC diversity. Moreover, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is better than that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel since Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_c/L$ diversity can obtain gain from each diversity branch. In case four carriers are used and required BER is $10^{-6}$ in wireless data communication, Hybrid SC/MRC-2/4 diversity can increase more 17 users than Hybrid SC/MRC-2/3 diversity because the better input branches can be selected through increase of input branches.

In this paper, we analyze the spectral efficiency of multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) scheme. First, we derive a generalized formula for the spectral efficiency according to the number of subcarriers involved in, code division multiplexing and the number of codes used (i.e., loading factor), under a given set of channel coefficients. Also, we derive a generalized formula for spectral efficiency of various reduced-complexity systems that divide the full sets of subcarriers into several groups of subcarriers for code division multiplexing. Then, through these derivations, we establish an inter-relationship between the frequency selectivity and diversity order according to the number of multipaths. From the results, we choose the smallest code length while maximizing the diversity effect, provide an optimum subcarrier allocation strategy, and finally suggest a system structure for capacity-maximizing under the smallest code length. Through numerical analyses under simulated environments, we analyze the properties of spectral efficiency of various systems with reduced complexity and choose a major contributing factors to system design and a better system design methodology. Finally, we compare the spectral efficiency of the MC-CDMA scheme and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme to make a relationship between both schemes.

Wireless carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) systems are widely used but show extremely different transmission efficiency according to the operation environment. Simulation or prototype deployment is needed to see the transmission efficiency of a wireless CSMA system with the partial packet retransmission scheme. The lower bound for the transmission efficiency of such a system is found mathematically in this work. This shows how much the partial packet retransmission scheme improves the transmission efficiency quantitatively. It also shows that the maximum throughput is obtained at higher offered load compared to the conventional CSMA system without the partial packet transmission. The result of this work can be applied to IEEE 802.11 networks or wireless mesh networks.

The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is divided into many subcarriers and transferred in a parallel way. It reduces the necessary bandwidth using the orthogonality between the subcarriers. Therefore it requires the transmission channel which has stable characteristic. When the delay spread of the channel exceed the guard interval, then the orthogonality of the subcarriers cannot maintain and as a result the system performance degrade. In this paper, the XCP-OFDM(OFDM using cross-handed Circular Polarization) system is newly proposed. This system divides the channel in order to eliminate the overlapping of subcarrier's spectrum by using cross-handed circular polarization. Therefore, the proposed XCP-OFDM system can improve the performance without increasing the guard interval. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results are described.
