In this paper, we compare two different anti-jamming schemes, Subspace projection and SCORE algorithm. For multipath cancelation, nulling technique is applied to both anti-jamming schemes. It is noted that SCORE algorithm is more robust to the multipath interference. It is also noted that Subspace projection scheme requires nulling technique for multipath mitigation.

In this paper, we propose an edge side-lobe suppressor (ESS) for the uplink of OFDMA systems, which mitigates the interference introduced by different frequency offsets between a desired user and the other users. We evaluate the proposed ESS scheme by measuring average signal to interference ratio (SIR) and average bit error rate (BER). The simulation results confirm that the proposed ESS scheme improves system performance by approximately 5∼10 dB SIR as compared to conventional OFDMA systems. Because the additional operations for the proposed scheme can be performed by a real-valued look-up table, the implementation of the ESS hardly requires increasing transmitter and receiver complexity.

This article considers a model of cooperative spectrum sharing between primary and secondary systems in which transmission occurs in two phases. In this scheme, we introduce that a single secondary transmitter, ST, employs a quadrature-phase-based signal to present the secondary message, while the primary message is presented by an in-phase-based signal. This allows simultaneous spectrum sharing without mutual interference. Therefore, an interference constraint is not necessary to protect primary operating performance from being degraded by the secondary user operations. Theoretical analysis and Simulations are then provided to confirm the superiority of the proposed scheme over the the current conventional methods.

Cognitive Radio (CR) has very promising potential to improve spectrum utilization by allowing unlicensed Secondary Users (SUs) to access the spectrum dynamically without disturbing licensed Primary Users (PUs). Mitigating interference is a fundamental problem in CR scenarios. This is particularly problematic for deploying CR in cellular networks, when users are located at the cell edge, as the inter-cell interference mitigation and frequency reuse are critical requirements for both PUs and SUs. Further cellular networks require higher cell edge performance, then SUs will meet more challenges than PUs. To solve the performance decrease for SUs at the cell edge, a novel Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) scheme based on Game Theory is proposed in this paper. Full frequency reuse can be realized as well as inter-cell interference mitigated according to SUs' sensing, measurement and interaction in this scheme. A joint power/channel allocation algorithm is proposed to improve both cell-edge user experience and network performance through distributed pricing calculation and exchange based on game theory. Analytical proof is presented and simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves high efficiency of spectrum usage and improvement of cell edge SUs' performance.

Directional antennas have been used in Ad Hoc networks, significantly improving the spatial reuse of the networks. However, the extended transmission range causes collisions at the receivers of neighbors, which prevents full exploitation of the potential of the directional antenna. In this paper, we propose a new power control MAC protocol for a directional antenna. For this protocol, we propose a method to detect a set of interference nodes in the neighbors of a receiver. We then use a power control algorithm to calculate the minimum transmission power and send data. Simulation results demonstrate that this protocol increases the network performance and reduces energy consumption.

Femtocells as home base station for indoor coverage extension and wideband data service, have been studied with significant interests. When femtocell is deployed, the existing cell structural of changes causes various technical problems. In this paper, we investigate the femto-macro cell interference mitigation in OFDMA system. We propose dynamic downlink resource management scheme which adjust the transmitted power of femtocell according to the strength of received macrocell signal and allocates subcarrier to femtocells in a dynamic manner. In this way, the interference between the macrocell users and femtocells is reduced. The simulation results show that proposed scheme enhances both macrocell and femtocell throughputs.

For over 25 years, the stray currents from DC electric railroads have caused serious interference problems with underground metallic infrastructures in Korea. The most serious interference is reported at the pipelines near the depot areas. Our field survey proves that this phenomena is mainly due to the missing of dedicated rectifiers for mainline, depot and/or workshop areas. Because it takes so much time and costs too much to replace the traction power system, we consider a stray current confinement method which collects the stray currents and drains them to the negative terminal of the rectifier. This can be realized by installing a stray current collecting wire along the depot boundary. Moreover, we found the stray current collecting reinforcement bar located beneath the rails of concrete slab tracks. Using this bar, we arc going to draing the stray currents from mainline rails. In this paper we show the result of field survey on railroad facilities and present the stray current confinement method under field test.

The paucity of pilot signals in Massive MIMO system is a vital issue. To accommodate substantial number of users, pilot signals are reused. This leads to interference, resulting in pilot contamination and degrades channel estimation at the Base Station (BS). Hence, mitigation of pilot contamination is exigency in Massive MIMO system. The proposed Time Shifted Pilot Signal Transmission with Pilot signal Hopping (TSPTPH), addresses the pilot contamination issue by transmitting pilot signals in non-overlapping time interval with hopping of pilot signals in each transmission slot. Hopping is carried by switching user to new a pilot signal in each transmission slot, resulting in random change of interfering users. This contributes to the change in channel coefficient, which leads to improved channel estimation at the BS and therefore enhances the efficiency of Massive MIMO system. In this system, Uplink Signal Power to Interference plus Noise Power Ratio (SINR) and data-rate are calculated for pilot signal reuse factor 1 and 3, by estimating the channel with Least Square estimation. The proposed system also reduces the uplink Signal power for data transmission of each User Equipment for normalized spectral efficiency with rising number of antennas at the BS and thus improves battery life.

When an underground pipeline runs parallel with DC electric railways, it suffers from electrolytic corrosion caused by the stray current leaked from the railway negative returns, i.e., the rails. Perforation due to the electrolytic corrosion may bring about large-scale accidents even under cathodically protected condition. Traditionally, drainage bonding methods have been widely used as a mitigation method for stray current interference. In particular, the increased adoption of forced drainage method to gas pipelines makes the interference much more sophisticated. In this paper, we analyze the electric interference between pipelines and railways from the results of field investigation carried out in Seoul and Busan.

In this paper, we propose a system model which effectively mitigates impulsive noise that degrades the performance of power line communication. Recently, deep learning have shown effective performance improvement in various fields. In order to mitigate effective impulsive noise, we applied a convolution neural network which is one of deep learning algorithm to conventional system. Also, we used a successive interference cancellation scheme to mitigate impulsive noise generated from multi-users. We simulate the proposed model which can be applied to the power line communication in the Section V. The performance of the proposed system model is verified through bit error probability versus SNR graph. In addition, we compare ZF and MMSE successive interference cancellation scheme, successive interference cancellation with optimal ordering, and successive interference cancellation without optimal ordering. Then we confirm which schemes have better performance.
