The iterative usage of soft outputs increases the performance of digital radio receiver. The feedback of reliability information reduces the channel estimation errors and increases the performance of equalization. This paper investigates the turbo equalization techniques for wireless cellular systems over continuous time varying channel. Simulation results over a GSM channel were presented.

In this paper, we propose a robust trellis coded OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system for wireless communications over frequency selective fading channels. Computer simulations show that the proposed system achieves the better frame error rate(FER) performance as compared with the conventional Space time coded OFDM system in the correlated channel with multiple transmitter antennas.

OFDMA systems have been expected to be widely used to provide multimedia services over wireless channels. To evaluate performance of the OFDMA system, power should be considered as system resource as well as subcarriers. This study propose a queueing traffic model incorporating two kinds of resources (power and subcarriers), and an extended model giving a priority to handoff calls over new calls. Some extensive experiments are conducted to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed traffic model.

The implementation of IEEE 802.15.6 in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is contention based. Meanwhile, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC provides limited 16 channels in the Superframe structure, making it unfit for N heterogeneous nature of patient's data. Also, the Beacon-enabled Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision-Avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheduling access scheme in WBAN, allocates Contention-free Period (CAP) channels to emergency and non-emergency Biomedical Sensors (BMSs) using contention mechanism, increasing repetition in rounds. This reduces performance of the MAC protocol causing higher data collisions and delay, low data reliability, BMSs packet retransmissions and increased energy consumption. Moreover, it has no traffic differentiation method. This paper proposes a Low-delay Traffic-Aware Medium Access Control (LTA-MAC) protocol to provide sufficient channels with a higher bandwidth, and allocates them individually to non-emergency and emergency data. Also, a Contention Differentiated Adaptive Slot Allocation CSMA-CA (CDASA-CSMA/CA) for scheduling access scheme is proposed to reduce repetition in rounds, and assists in channels allocation to BMSs. Furthermore, an On-demand (OD) slot in the LTA-MAC to resolve the patient's data drops in the CSMA/CA scheme due to exceeding of threshold values in contentions is introduced. Simulation results demonstrate advantages of the proposed schemes over the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and CSMA/CA scheme in terms of success rate, packet delivery delay, and energy consumption.

최근 유선 네트워크의 설치가 어려운 먼 거리의 인터넷 접속을 낮은 비용으로 가능하게 해주는 기술인 무선 메쉬 네트워크에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 각 노드는 데이터를 송수신하는 호스트의 역할 뿐만 아니라 데이터를 전달하는 라우터의 역할도 수행한다. 이 때 메쉬 라우터는 기존 유선 망 또는 다른 무선 통신망으로의 연결을 제공하는 게이트웨이의 역할을 함으로써 무선 네트워크에서의 백본으로 동작할 수도 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스를 사용하는 것은, 서로 간섭하지 않는 채널을 사용하여 동시에 통신이 가능함으로써 천체 네트워크의 데이터 처리량을 높이게 된다. 이러한 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 각 인터페이스에 채널들을 할당하고 라우팅을 결정하는 것은 중요한 연구 과제이다. 따라서 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스를 지원하는 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서의 채널 할당 및 라우팅의 목적은 네트워크의 연결성을 유지하면서 간섭을 최소화하며 네트워크의 데이터 처리량을 향상시키는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 네트워크의 전체 데이터 처리량을 높이며, 평균 종단간 지연시간을 줄이는 중앙 집중적이며 휴리스틱한 방법의 채널 할당 및 라우팅 알고리즘들을 제안한다. 이를 위해 링크의 잔여 채널 용량을 고려한 라우팅 방법과 링크의 통신 참여 수를 고려한 채널 할당 및 라우팅 방법, 그리고 우회 경로를 허용하는 라우팅 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 NS-2 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 기존 관련 연구와 비교 분석하였다. 제안한 방법은 기종 관련 연구에서의 방법보다 우선 메쉬 네트워크에서의 평균 데이터 처리량을 증가시키며 평균 종단간 지연시간을 감소시키는 결과를 보임으로써 전체 네트워크의 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of an adaptive QAM scheme under flat and frequency selective fading channels for indoor wireless communication systems. The QAM modulation is combined with differential encoding and the demodulation process is carried out noncoherently. The adaptation is performed by varying the modulation level of QAM, depending upon received signal strength. The adaptation mechanism allows a 2- or 3-bit increase or decrease at a time, if the channel condition is considered to be significantly good or bad. Simulation results show that the average number of bits per symbol (ABPS) for each symbol block transmitted over a flat fading channel is higher than 5.0 and the BER performance is better than 10^-4 for a SNR value higher than 30 dB. For frequency selective fading channels, an oversampling technique in the receiver was employed. The BER performance obtained for frequency selective fading channels is better than 10^-4 with a SNR value of 40 dB and ABPS is found to be approximately 5.5. Therefore, this scheme is very useful in that it provides both very high bandwidth efficiency and acceptable performance with moderate SNR values over flat and frequency selective fading channels. In addition, this scheme provides reduced receiver complexity by way of noncoherent detection.

In this letter, we consider a cooperation system with multiple untrusted relays (URs). To keep the transmitted information confidential, we obtain joint channel characteristics (JCCs) through combining the channels from the source to the destination. Then, in the null space of the JCCs, jammers construct artificial noise to confuse URs when the source node broadcasts its data. Through a distributed implementation algorithm, the weight of each node can be obtained from its own channel state information. Simulation results show that high-level security of the system can be achieved when internal and external eavesdroppers coexist.

Multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network requires an effective management policy to control the assignment of channels to each radio. We concentrated our investigation on modeling method and solution to find a dynamic channel assignment scheme that is adapted to change of network traffic. Multi-path routing scheme was chosen to overwhelm the unreliability of wireless link. For a particular traffic state, our optimization model found a specific traffic distribution over multi-path and a channel assignment scheme that maximizes the overall network throughput. We developed a simple heuristic method for channel assignment by gradually removing clique load to obtain higher throughput. We also presented numerical examples and discussion of our models in comparison with existing research.

As telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services are developed, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This may result in several security incidents unless security protocols are well prepared. In this paper, we analyzed authentication and authorization procedures for healthcare system architecture to apply secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. From the analyses, we estimate optimal requirements as a countermeasure to its vulnerabilities.

Cross-layer design is a concept, which captures the dependencies and interactions and enables information sharing among layers in order to improve the network performance and security. There are two key challenges in wireless networks, lossy features of links and power assumption of network nodes. Cross-layer design of congestion control and power allocation in wireless lossy networks has been studied in the existing literature; however, there has been no contribution proposed in the literature that exploits the path diversity. In this paper, we are motivated to develop a cross-layer design of congestion control and power allocation, which takes into account lossy features of wireless links and transmission powers of network nodes and can be implemented in a distributed manner. Numerical simulation is conducted to illustrate the performance of our proposed algorithm and the comparison with current alternative approaches.
