With an informed transmitter, we maximize the rate for each user. With an uninformed transmitter, we consider the optimal power allocation that causes the fastest convergence to zero of the fraction of channels whose mutual information is less than any given rate as the transmitter channel knowledge converges to zero. We assume a deterministic space and time dispersive multipath channel with multiple transmit and receive antennas, generating an orthogonally multiplexed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) broadcast system. Under limited transmit power;we consider different user specific space-time modulation formats that represent assignments of signal dimensions to transmit antennas. For the two-user orthogonally multiplexed MIMO broadcast channels, the achievable rate regions, with and without transmitter channel knowledge, evolve from a triangular region at low SNR to a rectangular region at high SNR. We also investigate the maximum sum rate for these regions and derive the associated power allocations at low and high SNR. Furthermore, we present numerical results for a two-user system that illustrate the effects of channel knowledge at the transmitter, the multi-dimensional space-time modulation format and features of the multipath channel.展开更多

Cognitive Radio (CR) emerges as an important trend for a solution to this problem. Spectrum sensing is a crucial function in a CR system. Cooperative spectrum sensing can overcome fading and shadowing effects, and hence increase the reliability of primary user detection. In this paper we consider a system model of a dedicated detect-andforward wireless sensor network (DetF WSN) for cooperative spectrum sensing with k-out-of-n decision fusion in the presence of reporting channels errors. Using this model we consider the design of a spatial reuse media access control (MAC) protocol based on TDMA/OFDMA to resolve conflicts and conserve resources for intra-WSN communication. The influence of the MAC protocol on spectrum sensing performance of the WSN is a key consideration. Two design approaches, using greedy and adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) algorithms, are considered in detail. Performance results assuming a grid network in a Rician fading environment are presented for the two design approaches.展开更多

Discretization of the received continuous time signal using filter banks is an essential stage in the front-end part, where the Fast Haar Transform (FHT) is used to reduce complexity. Analysis of our receiver over slow-fading channels shows that it is optimal for certain modulation schemes. By comparison with literature, it is shown that over such channels our receiver can achieve optimal performance for Time-Orthogonal modulation. Computed and Monte-Carlo simulated performance results over fast time-varying Rayleigh fading channels show that with Minimum Shift Keying (MSK), our receiver using four basis functions (filters) lowers the error floor by more than one order of magnitude with respect to other techniques of comparable complexity. Orthogonal Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) can achieve the same performance as Time-Orthogonal modulation for the slow-fading case, but suffers some degradation over fast-fading channels where it exhibits an error floor. Compared to MSK, however, Orthogonal FSK provides better performance.展开更多
