In this paper, an Ad-hoc Routing Protocol that works in wireless Ad-hoc communication networks with multiple radios and multiple channels and that controls call admission based on bandwidth measurement is proposed. Unlike the conventional Ad-hoc node with a single radio using a single channel, an Ad-hoc node of the protocol proposed, the MCQosR(Multiple Channel Quality of Service Routing), has multiple radios and uses multiple channels, which allows full duplex transmission between wireless Ad-hoc nodes, and reduces intra interference on the route. Also, a fixed channel only for reception at each node enables the estimation of the available bandwidth, which is used to control the call admission for QoS provision. The performance of the MCQosR was verified by simulation.

The wireless mesh network (WMN) has attracted significant interests as a broadband wireless network to provide ubiquitous wireless access for broadband services. Especially with incorporating multiple orthogonal channels and multiple directional antennas into the WMN, each node can communicate with its neighbor nodes simultaneously without interference between them. However, as we allow more freedom, we need a more sophisticated algorithm to fully utilize it and developing such an algorithm is not easy in general. In this paper, we study a joint channel assignment, link scheduling, routing, and rate control problem for the WMN with multiple orthogonal channels and multiple directional antennas. This problem is inherently hard to solve, since the problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear problem (MINLP). However, despite of its inherent difficulty, we develop an algorithm to solve the problem by using the generalized Benders decomposition approach [2]. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm provides the optimal solution to maximize the network utility, which is defined as the sum of utilities of all sessions.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a signal processing technique used for un-mixing of the mixed recorded signals. In wireless communication, ICA is mainly used in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Most of the existing work regarding the ICA applications in MIMO systems assumed static or quasi static wireless channels. Performance of the ICA algorithms degrades in case of time varying wireless channels and is further degraded if the data block lengths are reduced to get the quasi stationarity. In this paper, we propose an ICA based MIMO transceiver that performs well in time varying wireless channels, even for smaller data blocks. Simulation is performed over quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) signals. Results show that the proposed transceiver system outperforms the existing MIMO system utilizing the FastICA and the OBAICA algorithms in both the transceiver systems for time varying wireless channels. Performance improvement is observed for different data blocks lengths and signal to noise ratios (SNRs).

We propose a new routing protocol, MCQosR, that is based on bandwidth estimation, admission control, and a routing metric, MCCR - suitable for wireless ad-hoc networks with multiple radios and channels. To use the full capacity of a wireless link, we assume a node with multiple radios for full duplex operation, and a radio using multiple channels to exclude route-intra interference. This makes it possible to use the capacity of a wireless link. Then, to provide bandwidth and delay guarantee, we have a radio with a fixed channel for layer-3 data reception at each node, used to estimate the available bandwidth and expected delay of a wireless link. Based on the estimate of available bandwidth and delay, we apply the call admission control to a new call requiring bandwidth and delay guarantee. New calls with traffic that will overflow link or network capacity are rejected so the accepted calls can use the required bandwidth and delay. Finally, we propose a routing metric, MCCR, which considers the channel contentions and collisions of a wireless link operating in CSMA/CA. MCCR is useful for finding a route with less traffic and distributing traffic over the network to prevent network congestion as much as possible. The simulation of the MCQosR protocol and the MCCR metric shows traffic is distributed and guaranteed service is provided for accepted calls.

Wireless ad hoc networks often suffer from rapidly degrading performance with the number of user increases in the network. One of the major reasons for this rapid degradation of performance is the fact that users are sharing a single channel. Obviously, the problem of using single shared channel schemes is that the probability of collision increases with the number of nodes. Fortunately, it is possible to solve this problem with multi-channel approaches. Due to the especial properties of multiple channels, using the multiple channels is more efficient than single channel because it enhances the capacity of the channel and reduces the error rate during data transmission. Some multi-channel schemes us one dedicated channel for control packets and one separate channel for data transmissions. On the other hand, another protocols use more than two channels for data transmissions. This paper summarizes six multiple channel protocols based on these two kinds of schemes. Then we compare them and discuss the research challenge of multiple channel protocols.

In this paper, diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) of three-user wireless multiple-antenna cooperative systems is investigated in general fading channels when half-duplex and decode-and-forward relay is employed. Three protocols, i.e., adaptive protocol, receive diversity protocol, and dual-hop relaying protocol, are considered. The general fading channels may include transmit and/or receive correlation and nonzero channel means, and are extensions of independent and identically distributed Rayleigh or Rician fading channels. Firstly, simple DMT expressions are derived for general fading channels with zero channel means and no correlation when users employ arbitrary number of antennas. Explicit DMT expressions are also obtained when all users employ the same number of antennas and the channels between any two users are of the same fading statistics. Finally, the impact of nonzero channel means and/or correlation on DMT is evaluated. It is revealed theoretically that the DMTs depend on the number of antennas at each user, channel means (except for Rayleigh and Rician fading statistics), transmit and/or receive correlation, and the polynomial behavior near zero of the channel gain probability density function. Examples are also provided to illustrate the analysis and results.

In this paper, we study a problem that is concerning how to construct a delay-constrained multicast tree on a wireless mesh network (WMN) such that the number of serviced clients is maximized. In order to support high-quality and concurrent interference-free transmission streams, multiple radios are implemented in each mesh node in the WMNs. Instead of only orthogonal channels used for the multicast in the previous works, both orthogonal and partially overlapping channels are considered in this study. As a result, the number of links successfully allocated channels can be expected to be much larger than that of the approaches in which only orthogonal channels are considered. The number of serviced subscribers is then increased dramatically. Hence, the goal of this study is to find interference-free and delay-constrained multicast trees that can lead to the maximal number of serviced subscribers. This problem is referred as the MRDCM problem. Two heuristics, load-based greedy algorithm and load-based MCM algorithm, are developed for constructing multicast trees. Furthermore, two load-based channel assignment procedures are provided to allocate interference-free channels to the multicast trees. A set of experiments is designed to do performance, delay and efficiency comparisons for the multicast trees generated by all the approximation algorithms proposed in this study.

This paper considers the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) relay channel where multiple antennas are employed by each terminal. Compared to single-input single-output (SISO) relay channels, MIMO relay channels introduce additional degrees of freedom, making the design and analysis of optimal cooperative strategies more complex. In this paper, a partial cooperation strategy that combines transmit-side message splitting and block-Markov encoding is presented. Lower bounds on capacity that improve on a previously proposed non-cooperative lower bound are derived for Gaussian MIMO relay channels.

무선 환경에서는 채널의 대역폭과 휴대장치의 전력이 제한된다. 이러한 환경에서 데이타를 브로드캐스트(Broadcast) 하는 것은 효과적으로 클라이언트(Client)에게 데이타를 제공하기 위한 훌륭한 기법이 된다. 싱글 채널(Single channel)에서 뿐만 아니라 다중 채널(Multi-channel) 환경에서 클라이언트들의 데이타에 대한 접근 패턴에 따라 브로드캐스트 프로그램을 작성하는 기법이 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 물리적으로 독립된 다중 채널 환경에서의 효과적인 브로드캐스트 기법에 대해 소개한다. 기존에 소개된 기법들에서는 데이타의 접근 확률(access probability)을 기초로 주어진 물리지 채널 수만큼 데이타 집합을 분할하게 된다. 이러한 기법들은 높은 접근 확률을 가지는 소수의 데이타의 낮은 접근 확률을 가지는 다수의 데이타로 나누게 된다. 하지만 이러한 기법들은 단순히 채널 수에 따라 데이타의 구분에만 관심이 있기 때문에, 동등한 채널 내에서 생기는 데이타들 간의 접근 확률의 차이가 무시된다. 실제 환경에서는 많은 수의 물리 채널을 확보하기가 어렵고, 상당히 많은 수의 데이타를 브로드캐스트 해야 한다. 따라서 동등한 채널 내에서도 접근 확률을 기초로 브로드캐스트 프로그램을 작성할 수 있다면 기존의 기법에서보다 더 좋은 성능을 낼 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 데이타의 집합을 채널 수에 맞게 분할함과 동시에 채널 내에서 브로드캐스트 되는 횟수를 정함으로써 다중 채널에서 접근확률의 편차가 심한 데이타를 브로드캐스트 해야 하는 상황에서 보다 적합한 방법을 제안한다.
