This paper proposes a new algorithm for opportunistic scheduling that take advantage of both multiuser diversity and power control. Motivated by the multicast RTS and priority-based CTS mechanism of OSMA protocol, we propose an opportunistic packet scheduling with power control scheme based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. The scheduling scheme chooses the best candidate receiver for transmission by considering the SINR at the nodes. This mechanism ensures that the transmission would be successful. The power control algorithm on the other hand, helps reduce interference between links and could maximize spatial reuse of the bandwidth. We then formulate a convex optimization problem for minimizing power consumption and maximizing net utility of the system. We showed that if a transmission power vector satisfying the maximum transmission power and SINR constraints of all nodes exist, then there exists an optimal solution that minimizes overall transmission power and maximizes utility of the system.

Multi-hop cellular networks (MCNs) reduce the transmit power and improve the system performance. Recently, several research studies have been conducted on MCNs. The mobile relay selection scheme is a rising issue in the design of MCNs that achieves these advantages. The conventional opportunistic relaying (OR) is performed on the single factor for maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). In this paper, a comprehensive OR scheme based on Bi-Target is proposed to improve the system throughput and reduce the relay handover by constraining the amount of required bandwidth and SINR. Moreover, the proposed algorithm captures the variability and the mobility that makes it more suitable for dynamic real scenarios. Numerical and simulation results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm in both enhancing the overall performance and reducing the handover.

At coverage boundaries of cellular systems including the recent WiBro standard which operate with full frequency reuse for increased spectral efficiency, interference signals from the base stations(BS) of adjacent cells degrade the receiver performance. In this paper, a detection method for multiple-antenna mobile stations(MS) is proposed for downlink performance improvement at coverage boundaries of cellular systems. For the performance verification, we obtain the probability density function(pdf) of the effective signal-to-interference and noise ratio(SINR) according to the variation of the interference signals from adjacent cells as well as the number of MS antennas, and calculate the transmission efficiency. We also verify the performance of proposed method with simulation results, to demonstrate a significant performance improvement is achieved over the maximal ratio combining(MRC) and spatial demultiplexing(SD) methods in terms of the effective SINR and the spectral efficiency.

We propose a new beamforming algorithm, which is based on simplex downhill optimization method in the presence of pilot channels in cdma2000 reverse-link, for the rake structure antenna array in DS/CDMA communication system. Our approach uses the desired signal(pilot) covariance matrix and the interference covariance matrix. The beamforming weights are made according to maximum SINR criteria using simplex downhill optimization procedure. Our proposed scheme provides lower computational load, better convergence speed, better performance than existingadaptive beamforming algorithm. The simplex downhill method is well suited to finding the optimal or sub-optimal weight vector, since they require only the value of the deterministic function to be optimized. The rake beamformer performances are also evaluated under several set of practical parameter values with regard to spatial channel model. We also compare the performance between conventional rake receiver and the proposed one under same receiving power.

The wireless medium is known to be time-varying which could affect and result to a poor network's performance. As a solution, an opportunistic scheduling and power control algorithm based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is proposed in this paper. The algorithm opportunistically exploits the channel condition for better network performance. Convex optimization problems were also formulated i.e. the overall transmission power of the system is minimized and the "net-utility" of he system is maximized. We have proven that an optimal transmission power vector may exist, satisfying the maximum power and SINR constraints at all receivers, thereby minimizing overall transmission power and maximizing net-utility of the system.

이 논문에서는 동일채널 간섭이 존재하는 채널 환경에서 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템의 수신 다이버시티 결합 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 방법에서는 각 수신 안테나로부터의 수신 신호를 주파수 영역에서 부반송파 단위로 결합하며, 잡음과 간섭 전력을 고려한 MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining)를 적용한다. 잡음과 간섭 전력은 채널의 제한된 지연확산에 기인하는 주파수 대역에서의 상관특성(coherency)을 이용하여 인접한 몇 개의 부채널에 대해 잡음과 간섭 전력의 평균을 취함으로써 더 정확한 추정치를 얻는다. IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN 규격에서 모의실험 결과 제안방법은 기존 방시에 비해 SNR을 2-4 dB 개선하였으며, 정확하게 SINR을 추정한 경우에 대해 1 dB 이내로 접근하는 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper analyzes interference alignment in the two-way relay network with compute-and-forward in both single relay and multiple relays networks. The advantages of compute-and-forward over other relaying strategies are that it can relay only linear combinations of the useful signals and remove the noise. The algorithm proposed in this paper adopts the criterion of maximum SINR to derive the pre-coding matrix. The experimental results show that the performance of interference alignment in two-way relay channel via compute-and-forward is better than that of amplify-and-forward, and the total sum rate in the two-way multiple relay networks is larger than that in the two-way single relay networks.

In this paper, an adaptive convolutional coding method in multicarrier direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems is considered. In order to accommodate a number of coding rates easily and make the encoder and decoder structure simple, we use the rate compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) code. To achieve maximum data throughput, an adaptive rate system based on the channel state information (the SINR estimate) is proposed. We show that the proposed adaptive rate convolution coded multicarrier DS/CDMA systems can enhance spectral efficiency and provide frequency diversity.

The objective of this paper is to present an adaptive algorithm for computing the weight vector which provides a beam pattern having its maximum gain along the direction of the mobile target signal source in the presence of interfering signals within a cell. The conjugate gradient method (CGM) is modified in such a way that the suboptimal weight vector is produced with the computational load of O(16N), which has been found to be small enough for the real-time processing of signals in most land mobile communications with the digital signal processor (DSP) off the shelf, where N denotes the number of antenna elements of the array. The adaptive procedure proposed in this paper is applied to code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile communication system to show its excellent performance in terms of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), bit error rate (BER), and capacity, which are enhanced by about 7 dB, ${\frac{1}{100}}$ times, and 7 times, respectively, when the number of antenna elements is 6 and the processing gain is 20 dB.
