This paper first proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) batch channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and finds MMSE estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed ...

In this letter we propose a realistic channel model for visible light communication (VLC) assuming a mobile user. Based on non-sequential ray tracing we first obtain channel impulse responses for each point over the user movement trajectories and then express path loss and delay spread as a function of distance through curve fitting. Our results demonstrate large variations in received power. In system design this necessitates the use of adaptive schemes where transmission parameters can be selected ...

In this paper we present an indoor measurement campaign for TV white space bands inside a university building. The measurement results are compared with different indoor propagation models in the literature. We observed large estimation errors for the total path loss value from all existing models. Consequently we are proposing a new indoor propagation model for TVWS frequencies which concatenates the effects of frequency dependent path loss with penetration losses due to walls and windows. ...

In wideband spectrum sensing compressive sensing approaches have been used at the receiver side to decrease the sampling rate if the wideband signal can be represented as sparse in a given domain. While most studies consider the reconstruction of primary user's signal accurately it is indeed more important to analyze the presence or absence of the signal correctly. Furthermore these studies do not consider the achievable lower bounds of reconstruction error and how well the selected method performs ...

Amplitude and frequency modulations are still the most popular modulation techniques in data transmission at telecommunication systems such as radio and television broadcasting gsm etc. However the architectures of these individual systems are totally different. In this paper it is shown that a cellular neural network with an opposite-sign template can behave either as an amplitude or a frequency modulator. Firstly a brief information about these networks is given and then the amplitude and frequency ...

The challenging problem in the design of digital receivers of today's and future high-speed high data-rate wireless communication systems is to implement the optimal decoding and channel estimation processes jointly in a computationally feasible way. Without realising such a critical function perfectly at receiver the whole system will not work properly within the desired performance limits. Unfortunately direct implementation of such optimal algorithms is not possible mainly due to their ...

In this paper an iterative and computationally efficient data detection algorithm is proposed based on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) technique for orthogonal division multiplexing (OFDM) systems under fast fading channels. The proposed detector includes the original detector presented in [1] as one of its special cases. With a proper choice of its parameters simulations show that the new detector has negligible performance loss than original one in [1] with ...

In every reflectance-based application like broadband matching circuit modeling etc. a nonlinear equation following from energy conservation the Feldtkeller equation must be solved in order to obtain real networks. In the literature however there is no analytic solution available but only numerical solutions. Consequently the resulting error depends on the accuracy of the numerical tools. In this paper an analytic solution is proposed which is based on the modified ABCD-parameters of a lossless ...
