This paper presents a self-multiplexing antenna based on diplexing and quadruplexing Substrate-Integrated Waveguide (SIW) cavities. The diplexing structure incorporates two V-shaped slots, while the quadruplexing structure advances this concept by combining the slots to form a cross-shaped configuration within the cavity. The widths and lengths of the slots are carefully tuned to achieve variations in the respective operating frequencies without affecting the others. The proposed diplexing antenna resonates at 8.48 and 9.2 GHz, with a frequency ratio of 1.08, while the quadruplexing antenna operates at 6.9, 7.1, 7.48, and 8.2GHz. Both designs exhibit isolation levels well below –20dB and achieve a simulated peak gain of 5.6 dBi at the highest frequency, with a compact cavity area of 0.56 λg^(2). The proposed antennas operate within the NR bands (n12, n18, n26), making them suitable for modern high-speed wireless communication systems. Moreover, the properties like multiband operation, compactness, high isolation, low loss, and low interference make the antenna favorable for the high-speed railway communication systems.展开更多

By using special pream-bles to assist the decision of a feedback loop and to solve the problem of phase ambiguity,the tracking performance of the algorithm has been improved greatly. Only a few preambles are needed in the al-gorithm since the preambles are not used to estimate the frequency offset but used to provide the variation information of the phase due to the presence of frequency offset. Simulations verify that the algorithm has low SNR bound for tracking as well as high tracking accuracy and the tracking range is expanded to 30% of one subcarrier spacing.展开更多

A kind of FMA has been developed to investigate nonlinear and nonstationary aerodynamic forces considering the coupled effects of multiple degrees of freedom(DOFs). This apparatus can make section models to vibrate in a prescribed displacement defined by a numerical signal in time domain, including stationary and nonstationary movements with time-variant amplitudes and frequencies and even stochastic displacements. A series of validation tests show that the apparatus can re-illustrate various motions with enough precision in 3 D coupled states of two linear displacements and one torsional displacement. To meet the requirement of aerodynamic modeling, the flutter derivatives of a box girder section are identified, verifying its accuracy and feasibility by comparing with previously reported results. By simulating the nonstationary vibration with time-variant amplitude, the phenomena of frequency multiplication and memory effects are examined. In addition to studying the aerodynamics of a bluff body under large amplitudes and nonstationary vibrations, some potential applications of the proposed FMA are discussed in vehicle-bridge-wind dynamic analysis, pile-soil interaction, and line-tower coupled vibration aerodynamics in structural engineering.展开更多

Without disrupting the primary user （PU） transmissions, the overlay model allows the secondary user （SU） to utilize opportunistically the idle sub-channels; the underlay model allows the SU to occupy the same sub-channels with PU.

QoE is measured by the mean opinion score （MOS） rather than simply fulfilling the physical and medium access control （MAC） layer requirements. The simulations considering the file transfer and video stream services show that the proposed resource allocation strategy is spectrum efficient.展开更多

Thus, the problem in MU-OFDM system is the adaptive allocation of the resources(subcarriers, bits and power) to different users subject to several restrictions to maximize the total system capacity. In this work, a proposed subcarrier allocation algorithm was presented to assign the subcarriers with highest channel gain to the users. After the subcarrier allocation, subcarrier gain-based power allocation(SGPA) was employed for power and bit loading. The simulation results show that the proposed subcarrier-power allocation scheme can achieve high total system capacity and good fairness in allocating the resources to the users with slightly high computational complexity compared to the existing subcarrier allocation algorithms.展开更多

The data-carrying subcarriers in the inverse fast Fourier transform/fast Fourier transform(IFFT/FFT) size of1 024 points are successfully divided into three sub-channels,in which each sub-channel has 256 useful subcarriers, by using adaptive dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA). Taking the inherent advantages of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation(MQAM)modulation mechanism into account, the performance of the absolutely identical MQAM format over the different sub-channels for the downstream OFDMA-passive optical network(PON) is investigated based on the intensity modulation direct detection(IMDD) system by simulations. The results show that three parallel4 QAM or 16 QAM or 64 QAM OFDMA data, which are transmitted over three sub-channels, is more suitable for different sub-channel allocations, respectively. In addition, comparing with single port4/16/64 QAM OFDM over the same access system, the receiver sensitivity economizes – 0.6 d Bm, 0.6 d Bm, 4.6 d Bm at the bit error rate(BER) value of 10-3 respectively.展开更多

Two methods, theoretical analysis and calculation and Monte Carlo simulation, are used for the evaluations. By theoreti- cal analysis and calculation, frequency efficiency equation of a relay is introduced and numerical results are calculated. Monte Carlo simulation results also verify that the calculation method is reasonable. The evaluation shows that a relay can increase system performance to a certain level if it is designed appropriately, otherwise it will be harmful for the system performance, even to reduce it.展开更多

In this paper, we develop an executable top-down hierarchical Colored Petri Net (CPN) model for multi-traffic CAC in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system. By theoretic analysis and CPN simulation, it is demonstrated that the CPN model is isomorphic to Markov Chain (MC) assuming that each data stream follows Poisson distribution and the corresponding arrival time interval is an exponential random variable, and it breaks through MC's explicit limitation, which includes MC's memoryless property and proneness to state space explosion in evaluating CAC process. Moreover, we present four CAC schemes based on CPN model taking into account call-level and packet-level Quality of Service (QoS). The simulation results show that CPN offers significant advantages over MC in modeling CAC strategies and evaluating their performance with less computational complexity in addition to its flexibility and adaptability to different scenarios.展开更多

According to the optimality conditions, a downlink resource allocation algorithm consisting of subcarrier assignment and power alloca- tion is proposed. By adjusting the tradeoff coefficient, the proposed algorithm can achieve different levels of compromise between efficiency and fairness. The well-known classic resource allocation policies such as sum-rate maximization algorithm, proportional fairness algorithm and max-rain algorithm are all special cases of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the compromise between efficiency and fairness can be continuously adjusted according to system requirements.展开更多

文摘To meet the requirements of quick positioning of mobile terminals from base stations(BSs)or third-party devices,as well as to improve the convergence speed and reduce the steady state maladjustment of the least mean square(LMS)method,a new logarithmic-sigmoid variable step-size LMS(LG-SVSLMS)was proposed and applied to estimate the direction of arrival(DOA)of orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA)signals.Based on the proposed LG-SVSLMS,a non-blind DOA estimation system for OFDMA signals was constructed.The proposed LG-SVSLMS adopts a new multi-parameter step-size update function which combines the sigmoid function and the logarithmic function.It controls the adjustment magnitude of step-size during the initial and steady state phases of the LMS method to achieve both a high convergence speed and low steady state maladjustment.Finally,simulation was conducted to verify the performance of the LG-SVSLMS.The simulation results show that the non-blind DOA estimation system based on the LG-SVSLMS can accurately estimate the DOA of the target signal in the scenario where interference signals from multi-source and multi-path fading signals arrive at the third-party devices asynchronously with the target signal,and the estimation deviation is within±3°.The non-blind DOA estimation for OFDMA signals with the proposed LG-SVSLMS is of great significance for the instant positioning technology of mobile terminals based on the adaptive antenna array.
文摘This article proposes a new transceiver design for Single carrier frequency division multiple access(SCFDMA)system based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT). SCFDMA offers almost same structure as Orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA)with extra advantage of low Peak to Average Power Ratio(PAPR). Moreover,this article also suggests the application of Walsh Hadamard transform(WHT)for linear precoding(LP)to improve the PAPR performance of the system. Supremacy of the proposed transceiver over conventional Fast Fourier transform(FFT)based SCFDMA is shown through simulated results in terms of PAPR,spectral efficiency(SE)and bit error rate(BER).
文摘Mobile WiMAX(worldwide interoperability for microwave access) air interface adopts orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) as multiple access technique for its uplink(UL) and downlink(DL) to improve the multipath performance.All OFDMA based networks,like mobile WiMAX,experience the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR).The high PAPR increases the complexity of analog-to-digital(A/D) and digital-to-analog(D/A) convertors,and also reduces the efficiency of RF high-power-amplifier(HPA).In this work,a new zadoff-chu matrix transform(ZCMT) precoding based random interleaved orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) system was proposed for PAPR reduction in mobile WiMAX system.The system is based on precoding the constellation symbols with the ZCMT precoder before subcarrier mapping.The PAPR of proposed system is analyzed with the root-raised-cosine(RRC) pulse shaping to keep out of band radiation low and meet the transmission spectrum mask requirement.Simulation results show that the proposed system has better PAPR gain than the hadamard transform(WHT) precoded random interleaved OFDMA systems and the conventional random interleaved OFDMA systems.Symbol-error-rate(SER) performance of the system is also better than the conventional random interleaved OFDMA systems and the random interleaved OFDMA systems with WHT.The good improvement in PAPR significantly reduces the cost and the complexity of the transmitter.

文摘In this paper, the 40-Gbps orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) technology enabled by subcarrier allocation in the form of integrated architecture for the intra-cell is proposed in the downlink transmission passive broadband optical access system. The data-carrying subcarriers in the inverse fast Fourier transform/fast Fourier transform(IFFT/FFT) size of1 024 points are successfully divided into three sub-channels,in which each sub-channel has 256 useful subcarriers, by using adaptive dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA). Taking the inherent advantages of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation(MQAM)modulation mechanism into account, the performance of the absolutely identical MQAM format over the different sub-channels for the downstream OFDMA-passive optical network(PON) is investigated based on the intensity modulation direct detection(IMDD) system by simulations. The results show that three parallel4 QAM or 16 QAM or 64 QAM OFDMA data, which are transmitted over three sub-channels, is more suitable for different sub-channel allocations, respectively. In addition, comparing with single port4/16/64 QAM OFDM over the same access system, the receiver sensitivity economizes – 0.6 d Bm, 0.6 d Bm, 4.6 d Bm at the bit error rate(BER) value of 10-3 respectively.
文摘Performance of fixed relays in orthogonal frequency division multiple access （0FDMA） systems, especially the coverage and capacity performance at the cell edge, is evaluated in this paper. Two methods, theoretical analysis and calculation and Monte Carlo simulation, are used for the evaluations. By theoreti- cal analysis and calculation, frequency efficiency equation of a relay is introduced and numerical results are calculated. Monte Carlo simulation results also verify that the calculation method is reasonable. The evaluation shows that a relay can increase system performance to a certain level if it is designed appropriately, otherwise it will be harmful for the system performance, even to reduce it.

文摘Call Admission Control (CAC) is one of the key traffic management mechanisms that must be deployed in order to meet the strict requirements for dependability imposed on the services provided by modern wireless networks. In this paper, we develop an executable top-down hierarchical Colored Petri Net (CPN) model for multi-traffic CAC in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system. By theoretic analysis and CPN simulation, it is demonstrated that the CPN model is isomorphic to Markov Chain (MC) assuming that each data stream follows Poisson distribution and the corresponding arrival time interval is an exponential random variable, and it breaks through MC's explicit limitation, which includes MC's memoryless property and proneness to state space explosion in evaluating CAC process. Moreover, we present four CAC schemes based on CPN model taking into account call-level and packet-level Quality of Service (QoS). The simulation results show that CPN offers significant advantages over MC in modeling CAC strategies and evaluating their performance with less computational complexity in addition to its flexibility and adaptability to different scenarios.
文摘A resource allocation problem considering both efficiency and fairness in orthogonal frequency division multiple access （OFDMA） systems is studied. According to the optimality conditions, a downlink resource allocation algorithm consisting of subcarrier assignment and power alloca- tion is proposed. By adjusting the tradeoff coefficient, the proposed algorithm can achieve different levels of compromise between efficiency and fairness. The well-known classic resource allocation policies such as sum-rate maximization algorithm, proportional fairness algorithm and max-rain algorithm are all special cases of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the compromise between efficiency and fairness can be continuously adjusted according to system requirements.

文摘To improve the total throughput of the uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access system,a low complexity hybrid power distribution（HPD） combined with subcarrier allocation scheme is proposed.For the fairness mechanism for the subcarrier,the inter-cell interference is first analyzed to calculate the capacity of the multi-cell.The user selects the subcarrier with the largest channel gain.Based on the above subcarrier allocation scheme,a new kind of HPD scheme is proposed,which adopts the waterfilling-power-distributed scheme and the equal-power-distributed scheme in the cell-boundary and the cellcenter,respectively.Simulation results show that compared with the waterfilling-power-distributed scheme in the whole cell,the proposed HPD scheme decreases the system complexity significantly,meanwhile its capacity is 2% higher than that of the equal-powerdistributed scheme over the same subcarrier allocation.
