Reliable high-speed data communications over insufficient channel bandwidth is one of the major challenges of harsh wireless environments that push the achievable spectral efficiency far below its theoretical limits. A Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme is a userful modulation technique for achieving high data rate transmission without increasing the bandwidth of wireless communication systems. The exact general bit error rate (BER) expression of arbitrary rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation has not yet been derived. In this paper, a generalized closed-form expression for the BER performance of rectangular QAM with Gray code bit mapping is derived and analyzed in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. First we analyze the BER performance of an I-ary PAM scheme. Regular patterns in the k-th bit error probability are observed while developing the EBR expression. From these patterns we provide the exact and general closed-from EBR expression of an I-ary PAM. Then we present a general closed-from expression for BER of an arbitrary IXJ rectangular QAM by considering that this signaling format consists of two PAM scheme, i.e., I-ary and J-ary PAM. A simple approximate BER expression for rectangular QAM is given as well.

To reduce the outage probability and to increase the transmission capacity, the importance of repeaters in cellular systems keeps increasing. Unlike optical repeaters which require wireline connections, RF repeaters are easy to install, have low limitations in location and also have a reduced operational expense such as the optical fiber maintenance cost. On the other hand, RF repeaters suffer the interference due to the feedback signals between the transmitter and receiver antennas, hence require an extra interference cancellation method when the amount of the feedback signal reduction by using the shielding is not sufficient. In this paper, a channel estimation method for two-path feedback interference signals in the ICS (Interference Cancellation System) repeaters using baseband signal processing is proposed and its performance is evaluated. When compared with the conventional method which estimates each multipath individually, the proposed method achieves 10 dB performance gain in terms of the normalized mean-squared-error.

In this paper, we propose a new optical switching system as a infrastructure of the BcN, in which the high traffic volume will be expected due to the multimedia service, like P2P services. Because the JET protocol, the most popular protocol in OBS (Optical Burst Switching) research area, has high blocking probability for burst, it prevents commercialization in real network for its low throughput in TCP layer. To improve high blocking rate in OBS network, we segment large network into small network and perform burst scheduling to avoid burst loss. By using proposed scheme, Internet provider can reduce network deployment cost in Metro network as well as large mesh core networks

In this study, an algorithm for blind modulation detection in EDGE systems is presented. EDGE introduces an 8PSK modulation to provide high-speed data rates in addition to the existing GSM system. A transmitter may switch dynamically the modulation and coding schemes for transmission of data according to the channel quality. To decode the data correctly, the receiver has to detect using only training sequence which modulation is being used. Basically the property of one radio block composed of four bursts to detect effectively the modulation scheme even under severe conditions is used. More specifically, the reference value calculated for received burst is accumulated with previous reference value to minimize statistically the false detection probability in one radio block. Also each burst data having different modulation from the modulation of the fourth burst is set to zero to improve the decoding performance because the reference of the fourth burst has the highest reliability.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the PCM cell search algorithm proposed for fast cell search of WCDMA systems. In order to improve both performance and complexity of the cell search algorithm standardized for WCDMA systems the PCM scheme uses a group of the polarization codes produced by a Gold code generator. The PCM scheme only uses one synchronization channel since the polarization codes modulated on P-SCH can replace the RS codes of S-SCH. Thus, the PCM reduces the BS's transmission power since only one synchronization channel can be used, and it can also reduce the complexity of receiver as compared with the conventional one. In this paper, by defining a numerical model, we analyze the performance of the PCM cell search algorithm in terms of detection probability and mean acquisition time. Consequently, we could demonstrate that the PCM cell search algorithm is superior to the standard WCDMA cell search algorithm.

It is required to have researches on efficient resource allocation schemes in an integrated voice and data CDMA system with the spreading of high-speed wireless internets. In this paper, we proposed a efficient resouce allocation scheme for providing a high speed data service in an integrated CDMA system. In an integrated voice/data CDMA system, resources for voice users are allocated with high priority and residual resources are allocated to the data service. In this case, it is necessary to use a resource allocation scheme for minimizing interference. In this paper, we first explain about a interference minimizing method and define QoS requirements. Based on the method, we proposed a efficient resource allocation scheme which satisfy the QoS requirements. The proposed scheme controls the transmission rate and delay of data users with a priority information such as the number of packets in a queue. From the simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme reduce the blocking probability and delay and improve the performance.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive cooperation scheme with multi-relay nodes which achieves higher performance and spectral efficiency than that of some conventional cooperative schemes. The relay-selection is applied to choose the most potential relay among K ones. Afterward, the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) differences between S-D, S-R and R-D channels are considered for adaptive selection between the direct and the cooperation transmission strategy. In the proposed adaptive protocol, if the direct link is of high quality, the source will transmit to destination directly with all power consumption. Otherwise, the source broadcasts the signal with a lower power and requires the help of the chosen relay if it decodes correctly, else the source will transmit again with remaining power. Firstly, the spectral efficiency is derived by calculating the probability of each mode. Subsequently, the BER performance for the adaptive cooperation scheme is analyzed by considering each event that one of K relays is selected and then making the summation of all. Finally, the numerical results are presented to confirm the performance enhancement offered by the proposed schemes.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient algorithm using pulse signal based on group-node-contention in LR-WPAN. The purpose of IEEE 802.15.4 is low speed, low cost and low power consumption. Recently, as applications of LR-WPAN have been extended, there is a strong probability of collision as well and almost collision occurs because of hidden node problem. Moreover, if the collision continuously occurs due to hidden node collision, network performance could be decreased. Nowadays, although several papers focus on the hidden node collision, algorithms waste the channel resource if continuous collisions frequently occur. In this paper, we assume that PAN has been already formed groups, and by using pulse signal, coordinator allocates channel and orders, and then, nodes in the allocated group can compete each other. Hence, contention nodes are reduced significantly, channel wastage caused by collision is decreased, and data transmission rate is improving. Finally, this algorithm can protect the network from disruption caused by frequent collisions. Simulation shows that this algorithm can improve the performance.

This paper presents cluster based hybrid spectrum sensing system for M2M services. For each cluster, secondary nodes within the transmission radius of the primary node use hard decision method through local spectrum sensing to determine whether the primary node exists. And the other secondary nodes and the secondary nodes having poor radio channel conditions judge the existence of the primary node through the soft decision method of the values obtained by performing the cooperative spectrum sensing. In the proposed hybrid spectrum sensing system, the performance according to the number of secondary nodes is analyzed with the conventional system over Rayleigh fading channel. As the number of cooperative sensing users increased to 2, 3 and 4, the cluster error probability decreased to 0.5608, 0.5252 and 0.4001 at SNR of -10[dB] respectively. Since the proposed system uses less overhead traffic, it is found that it is more effective in terms of frequency usage than the conventional system using soft decision-soft decision and soft decision-hard decision methods.

Internet of Things (IoT) is based on wireless networks being able to connect things and people on a large scale. In the IoT environment, reliable broadcast plays an important role to distribute data to a large number of devices. Energy harvesting from a surrounding environment is a key technique to achieve a sustainable IoT network. In IoT networks, a problem of transmission errors and energy shortage should be mitigated for reliable broadcast. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient and reliable broadcast method to consider packet errors and energy consumption in the environment where a large number of nodes are connected. The proposed scheme can improve data restoration probability by up to 15% and reduce energy consumption by up to 17%.
