In this paper, we propose a cooperative relaying protocol using Fountain codes for secondary network under interference constraint. In the proposed protocol, a secondary source uses Fountain codes to transmit its message to a secondary destination with help of a secondary relay. The secondary source and relay operate in the underlay model, in which they must adapt their transmit power so that the interference caused at a primary user is lower than an allowable threshold. To evaluate performance of the proposed protocol, we derive the expressions of average number of transmission times over Rayleigh fading channel. Various Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the derivations.

In this paper, we study the coexistence of typical radio access technologies (WiMAX, CDMA, WLAN) in heterogeneous networks. Although the radio accesses employ different frequency band, they can interfere with each other due to out-of- band emission. We compute the minimum adjacent channel interference ratio (ACIR) to satisfy the allowable level of interference, and the resulting minimum frequency separation (guard band) between interfering and victim system. We observe that WiMAX-WLAN coexistence and WiMAX-CDMA coexistence are feasible with at least 20 MHz and 15 MHz guard bands, respectively.

This paper deals with a systematic approach for the construction of the fixed-delay tree search (FDTS) detector in the intersymbol interference channel. The approach is based on the efficient multi-dimensional space partitioning. The Voronoi diagram (VoD) and the Delaunay tessellation (DT) of the multi-dimensional space are applied to implement the algorithm. In the proposed approach, utilizing the geometric information contained in the VOD/DT, the relative location of the observation sequence is determined which has been shown to reduce the implementation complexity. Detailed construction procedures are discussed followed by an example from the intersymbol interference communication channel.

To implement high-order multiuser multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO) for massive MIMO systems, there must be a feedback scheme that can warrant its performance with a limited signaling overhead. The interference-to-noise ratio can be a basis for a novel form of Codebook (CB)-based MU-MIMO feedback scheme. The objective of this paper is to verify such a scheme's performance under a practical system configuration with a 3D channel model in various radio environments. We evaluate the performance of various CB-based feedback schemes with different types of overhead reduction approaches, providing an experimental ground with which to optimize a CB-based MU-MIMO feedback scheme while identifying the design constraints for a massive MIMO system.

In this paper, a extension of a fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) to perform interference signal detection and cancelling is proposed for downlink multiuser multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) communication system. It is based on the application of channel matrix expansion on generalized sphere decoder (GSD), and modification of the channel matrix ordering scheme to a FSD algorithm for interference detection. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the proposed algorithm improves the receiver performance by 3 dB as compared to maximum likelihood detection without interference cancelling at 10% packet error rate in configuration of 702 Mbit/s datarate for four users respectively on IEEE802.11ac.

Inter-symbol interference (ISI) problem is inevitable when the guard interval (GI) is shorter than the delay spread (DS) for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Iterative techniques have been proposed to overcome such a problem. However, most of existing algorithms are not efficient for an OFDM system with a small GI working under the channel with a large DS. Especially in the case of the DS spans a longer time than the half of the OFDM symbol duration. On the other hand, conventional algorithms, which can reduce the effects of the severe ISI, often employ several impractical assumptions to support the conclusions. In this paper, we present a robust decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for the OFDM system to overcome the severe ISI problem. The proposed DFE removes the ISI in a same manner as the residual inter-symbol interference cancellation (RISIC) algorithm. However, the inter-carrier interference (ICI) is reduced via cyclicity removal instead of the cyclicity restoration used in the conventional algorithms. The link-level simulation (LLS) results indicate that our proposed DFE scheme can dramatically improve the BER performance when the DS spans longer than the half of ODFM symbol duration.

A centralized cognitive radio (CR) network is proposed and its system capacity is studied. The CR network is designed with power control and multi-user scheduling schemes to support best-effort traffics under peak interference power constraints. We provide an analytical framework to quantify its system capacity, taking into account various key factors such as interference constraints, density of primary users, cell radius, the number of CR users, and propagations effects. Furthermore, closed-form formulas are derived for its capacities when only path loss is considered in the channel model. Semi-analytical expressions for the capacities are also given when more realistic channel models that include path loss, shadowing, and small-scale fading are used. The accuracy of the proposed analytical framework is validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Illustrated with a practical example, the provided analytical framework is shown to be useful for the strategic planning of centralized CR networks.

Time spread due to the multipath in underwater acoustic channel, induces ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) which degrades the performance of the underwater acoustic communication system. The passive phase conjugation (PPC) which improves the signal to multipath interference ratio (SMR) and therefore reduces the frequency selectivity. is a diversity communication technique giving a less ISI under multipath fading channel. Its frequency selectivity depends on the number of receiver array sensors and time varying source to receiver range. In this study, frequency selectivity of the PPC and its effects on bit error of underwater acoustic communication is analyzed by numerical simulation.

A design method is proposed for the sequence detection with fixed decision delay with less hardware complexity using the concept of the Voronoi diagram and its dual, the Delaunay tessellation. This detector design is based on the Fixed Delay Tree Search (FDTS) detection. The FDTS is a computationally efficient sequence detection algerian and has been shown to achieve near-optimal performance in the severe Intersymbol Interference (ISI) channels when combined with decision feedback equalization and the appropriate channel coding. In this approach, utilizing the information contained in the Voronoi diagram or equivalently the Delaunay tessellation, the relative location of the detector input sequence in the multi-dimensional Euclidean space is found without any computational redundancy, which leads to a reduced complexity implementation of the detector.

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system is investigated in the presence of multi user interference and Nakagami fading channel environments. The DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system adopts multicode technique to enhance the data transmission rate. Using the calculated BER performance, BER figures of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system are shown to discuss the effect of the number of multi user interference, Nakagami fading index, and data transmission rate. From the results, the transmission rate of DS/CDMA-BPSK signal improve by adopting Multicode technique. And we know that the major parameter of BER performance degradation in Multicode DS/CDMA system is the effect of multi user interference than the fading depth.
