Pragmatic physical layer abstraction method based on bit-LLR-wise exponential effective SNR mapping for bit interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system

In this paper, we analyze the physical layer abstraction for bit interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （BIC-OFDM） system from a parallel bit channel perspective. By combining the exponential effective SNR （signal-to-noise ratio） mapping （EESM） with the maximum a posteriori （MAP） algorithm, a bit LLR （log-likelihood ratio） wise EESM （BL-EESM） method is proposed. This method can abstract the link performance with high accuracy, especially for the case when channel estimation is imperfect. Afterward, the BL-EESM method is simplified by utilizing the non-linear quantization idea, which can reduce the times of exponential operation by two orders of magnitude at wide system bandwidth, yet shows little loss in accuracy. Our proposal can be applied to both system level simulations to save the time consumption and to practical terminals to facilitate the adaptive modulation and coding （AMC） procedure, bringing about throughput improvement at low hardware cost.     

AN OPTIMIZED SCHEME FOR FAST HANDOFF IN IP-BASED CDMA WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

IntroductionMobility as an essential characteristic of wire-less network has received considerable attention inrecent years.A number of system- specific solu-tions have been developed for2 G( such as GSM)and 3G( such as UMTS) wireles networks.Fromthe Internetpointofview these solutions can be re-garded as layer- 2 solutions for wireless access net-works working transparently to the layer- 3 ( IPlayer) [1] .The evolution of wireless network is be-ing strongly influenced by mainly two compo…     

Influence of Error-prone Channel on the Performance of IEEE 802.11 WLAN Utilizing RTS/CTS Handshaking

A comprehensive study was presented for WLAN 802.11b using error-prone channel. It was theoretically and numerically evaluated the performance of three different network sizes with the bit rates that available in 802.11b protocol. Results show that throughput does not change with the size of the network for wide range of bit error rates (BERs) and the channel bit rates play a significant role in the main characteristics of the network. A comprehensive explanation has given for the phenomenon of the packet delay suppression at relatively high level of BERs in view of the size of the networks and the BERs. The effect length of the transmitting packets is also investigated.     

Performance analysis of single relay selection in cooperative communication over Nakagami-m fading channels

We derive closed-form expressions for outage probability and symbol error rate(SER) of opportunistic relaying(OR) and selection cooperation(SC).For the amplify-and-forward relay selection scheme,comparison between two selection strategies over independent non-identically distributed Nakagami-m fading channels via analytical and simulation results is given in terms of the outage probability and SER.Simulation results show that OR performs better than SC.     

Optimal training design and placement for MIMO orthogonal frequency division multiplexing channel estimation

This paper deals with optimal training design and placement over multiple orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) symbols for the least squares(LS) channel estimation in multiple-input multipleoutput(MIMO) OFDM systems.First,the optimal pilot sequences over multiple OFDM symbols are derived by co-cyclic Jacket matrices based on the minimum mean square error(MSE) of the LS channel estimation.Then,an enhanced channel estimation method using sliding window is proposed to improve further the performanc...
