Amplitude and Frequency Modulations with Cellular Neural Networks
(Springer, 2015) Tander, Baran; Özmen, Atilla
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 surfaces of the generated quasi-sine oscillations are sketched with respect to various values of their cloning templates. Secondly it is proved that any of these types of modulations can be performed by only varying the template components without ever changing their structure. Finally a circuit is designed simulations are presented and performance of the proposed system is evaluated. The main contribution of this work is to show that both amplitude and frequency modulations can be realized under the same architecture with a simple technique specifically by treating the input signals as template components.

Bayesian estimation of discrete-time cellular neural network coefficients
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2017) Şenol, Habib; Özmen, Atilla; Şenol, Habib
A new method for finding the network coefficients of a discrete-time cellular neural network (DTCNN) is proposed. This new method uses a probabilistic approach that itself uses Bayesian learning to estimate the network coefficients. A posterior probability density function (PDF) is composed using the likelihood and prior PDFs derived from the system model and prior information respectively. This posterior PDF is used to draw samples with the help of the Metropolis algorithm a special case of the Metropolis--Hastings algorithm where the proposal distribution function is symmetric and resulting samples are then averaged to find the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimate of the network coefficients. A couple of image processing applications are performed using these estimated parameters and the results are compared with those of some well-known methods.

Channel Estimation for Realistic Indoor Optical Wireless Communication in ACO-OFDM Systems
(Springer, 2018) Özmen, Atilla; Şenol, Habib
In this paper channel estimation problem in a visible light communication system is considered. The information data is transmitted using asymmetrical clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. Channel estimation and symbol detection are performed by the Maximum Likelihood and the Linear Minimum Mean Square Error detection techniques respectively. The system performance is investigated in realistic environment that is simulated using an indoor channel model. Two different channels are produced using the indoor channel model. Symbol error rate (SER) performance of the system with estimated channels is presented for QPSK and 16-QAM digital modulation types and compared with the perfect channel state information. As a mean square error (MSE) performance benchmark for the channel estimator Cramer-Rao lower bound is also derived. MSE and SER performances of the simulation results are presented.

Channel estimation in underwater cooperative OFDM system with amplify-and-forward relaying
(IEEE, 2012) Şenol, Habib; Panayırcı, Erdal; Erdoğan, Mustafa; Uysal, Murat
This paper is concerned with a challenging problem of channel estimation for amplify-and-forward cooperative relay based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of sparse underwater acoustic channels and of the correlative non-Gaussian noise. We exploit the sparse structure of the channel impulse response to improve the performance of the channel estimation algorithm due to the reduced number of taps to be estimated. The resulting novel algorithm initially estimates the overall sparse channel taps from the source to the destination as well as their locations using the matching pursuit (MP) approach. The correlated non-Gaussian effective noise is modeled as a Gaussian mixture. Based on the Gaussian mixture model an efficient and low complexity algorithm is developed based on the combinations of the MP and the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) technique to improve the estimates of the channel taps and their location as well as the noise distribution parameters in an iterative way. The proposed SAGE algorithm is designed in such a way that by choosing the admissible hidden data properly on which the SAGE algorithm relies a subset of parameters is updated for analytical tractability and the remaining parameters for faster convergence Computer simulations show that underwater acoustic (UWA) channel is estimated very effectively and the proposed algorithm has excellent symbol error rate and channel estimation performance.

Connected navigation of non-communicating mobile agents
(IEEE, 2012) Kerestecioğlu, Feza; Cezayirli, Ahmet
This article discusses the connectivity of autonomous mobile robots that do not have communication capabilities. We show that if the group members follow the proposed Local Steering Strategy which utilizes information only about the relative positions of neighbor robots they can sustain their connectivity even in the case of bounded position measurement errors and the occultation of robots by other robots in the group. To reduce the computational burden in the implementation of the proposed methodology we used sub-optimal solutions. © 2012 IEEE.

Data-Aided Autoregressive Sparse Channel Tracking for OFDM Systems
(IEEE, 2016) Şenol, Habib; Erküçük, Serhat; Erküçük, Serhat; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
In order to meet future communication system requirements channel estimation over fast fading and frequency selective channels is crucial. In this paper Space Alternated Generalized Expectation Maximization Maximum a Posteriori (SAGE-MAP) based channel estimation algorithm is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems for Autoregressive (AR) modeled time-varying sparse channels. Also an initialization algorithm has been developed from the widely used sparse approximation algorithm Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) since the performance of SAGE algorithm strictly depends on initialization. The results show that multipath delay positions can be tracked successfully for every time instant using the proposed SAGE-MAP based approach.

Effect of Inter-Block-Interference-Free Region on Compressed Sensing Based Channel Estimation in TDS-OFDM Systems
(IEEE, 2016) Erküçük, Serhat; Şenol, Habib; Şenol, Habib; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
Time domain synchronous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) is the basis technology for digital television standard (DTV) employed in some countries thanks to its high spectral efficiency when compared to traditional cyclic prefix OFDM. Moreover it does not require pilot usage in frequency domain channel estimation. Instead of data usage as cyclic prefix pseudo-noise (PN) sequences are transmitted in guard intervals. Due to interference from the previous OFDM data symbol the received signal in guard interval can be decomposed into a small-sized signal that contains only PN sequences utilizing the inter-block-interference (IBI)-free region in the convolution matrix. Due to sparsity multipath fading channel can be obtained by the application of compressed sensing (CS) technique to reconstruct the high-dimensional sparse channel from the decreased-size of received signal through the known PN sequence matrix. In this study the effect of the size of IBI-free region on CS and Bayesian CS (BCS) based channel estimation is investigated. Accordingly reconstruction error performances of basis pursuit (BP) and BCS are compared. Simulation results show that the channel estimation can be improved by trading-off the length of the IBI-free region. However an increase in IBI-free region leads to decreased energy efficiency at both the transmitter and receiver side.

Extending the lifetime of WSNs with Maximum Energy Selection Algorithm (MESA)
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Dağ, Tamer; Dağ, Tamer
The limited battery supply of a sensor node is one of the most important factors that limit the lifetime of the WSNs. As a consequence increasing the lifetime of WSNs through energy efficient mechanisms has become a challenging research area. Previous studies have shown that instead of implementing direct transmission or multi-hop routing clustering can significantly improve the total energy dissipation and lifetime of a WSN. The traditional LEACH and LEACH based algorithms have evolved from this idea. In this paper we propose a fixed clustering routing algorithm for WSNs which selects the node with maximum residual energy for the following rounds according to a threshold level. The Maximum Energy Selection Algorithm (MESA) can improve the lifetime of the network and reduce the energy dissipation significantly. Our studies have shown that when compared with LEACH and LEACH based algorithms such as ModLEACH and DEEC MESA gains for the lifetime extension and energy dissipation is very important. © 2016 IEEE.

Information theoretical performance limits of single-carrier underwater acoustic systems
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2014) Şenol, Habib; Uysal, Murat; Panayırcı, Erdal; Şenol, Habib
In this study the authors investigate the information theoretical limits on the performance of point-to-point single-carrier acoustic systems over frequency-selective underwater channels with intersymbol interference. Under the assumptions of sparse and frequency-selective Rician fading channel and non-white correlated Gaussian ambient noise the authors derive an expression for channel capacity and demonstrate the dependency on channel parameters such as the number location and power delay profile of significant taps as well as environmental parameters such as distance temperature salinity pressure and depth. Then the authors use this expression to determine the optimal carrier frequency input signalling and bandwidth for capacity maximisation.

Joint Channel Estimation and Equalization for OFDM based Broadband Communications in Rapidly Varying Mobile Channels
(IEEE, 2010) Şenol, Habib; Poor, H. Vincent
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of channel estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and very rapidly time varying channels. In OFDM systems operating over rapidly time-varying channels the orthogonality between subcarriers is destroyed leading to inter-carrier interference (ICI) and resulting in an irreducible error floor. The band-limited discrete cosine serial expansion of low-dimensionality is employed to represent the time-varying channel. In this way the resulting reduced dimensional channel coefficients are estimated iteratively with tractable complexity and independently of the channel statistics. The algorithm is based on the expectation maximization-maximum a posteriori probability (EM-MAP) technique leading to a receiver structure that also yields the equalized output using the channel estimates. The pilot symbols are employed to estimate the initial coefficients effectively and unknown data symbols are averaged out in the algorithm in a non-data-aided fashion. It is shown that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm to estimate the channel coefficients and to generate the equalized output as a by-product is similar to O(N) per detected symbol N being the number of OFDM subcarriers. Computational complexity as well as computer simulations carried out for the systems described in WiMAX and LTE standards indicate that it has significant performance and complexity advantages over existing suboptimal channel estimation and equalization algorithms proposed earlier in the literature.

Joint Channel Estimation Equalization and Data Detection for OFDM Systems in the Presence of Very High Mobility
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2010) Şenol, Habib; Şenol, Habib; Poor, H. Vincent
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of joint channel estimation equalization and data detection for uplink orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and very rapidly time varying channels. The resulting algorithm is based on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) technique which is particularly well suited to multicarrier signal formats leading to a receiver structure that also incorporates interchannel interference (ICI) cancelation. In order to reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm band-limited discrete cosine orthogonal basis functions are employed to represent the rapidly time-varying fading channel by the discrete cosine serial expansion coefficients. It is shown that depending on the normalized Doppler frequency only a small number of expansion coefficients is sufficient to approximate the channel perfectly and there is no need to know the correlation function of the input signal. In this way the resulting reduced dimensional channel coefficients are estimated and the data symbols detected iteratively with tractable complexity. The proposed SAGE joint detection algorithm updates the data sequences serially and the channel parameters are updated in parallel leading to a receiver structure that also incorporates ICI cancelation. Computer simulations show that the cosine transformation represents the time-varying channel very effectively and the proposed algorithm has excellent symbol error rate and channel estimation performance even with a very small number of channel expansion coefficients employed in the algorithm resulting in substantial reduction of the computational complexity.

(2010) Şenol, Habib; Şenol, Habib; Panayırcı, Erdal
Rapidly time-varying and random disturbing effects on the phase of a signal waveform are known as phase noise. In this paper we consider the problem of joint detection of continuous-valued information source output and estimation of a phase noise by using expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. In order to estimate phase noise initial phase noise values are determined by cubic interpolation that utilizes pilot symbols. Computer simulations are performed for the proposed algorithm and the average mean square error (MSE) - signal to noise ratio (SNR) performance of source detector and phase noise estimator is presented for each iteration of the algorithm. Moreover average MSE - pilot spacing performance curves of phase noise estimator are given for various SNR values. ©2010 IEEE.

Linear expansions for frequency selective channels in OFDM
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2006) Şenol, Hande; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
Modeling the frequency selective fading channels as random processes we employ a linear expansion based on the Karhumen-Loeve (KL) series representation involving a complete set of orthogonal deterministic vectors with a corresponding uncorrelated random coefficients. Focusing on OFDM transmissions through frequency selective fading this paper pursues a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients estimation algorithm. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MMSE estimator. Moreover truncation in the linear expansion of channel is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We first exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also provide performance analysis results studying the influence of the effect of SNR and correlation mismatch on the estimator performance. Simulation results confirm our theoretical results and illustrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of tracking fast fading and improving performance. (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH.

A low-complexity KL expansion-based channel estimator for OFDM systems
(2005) Şenol, Habib; Cirpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
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 MMSE estimator. Moreover optimal rank reduction is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We then consider the stochastic Cramér-Rao bound and derive the closed-form expression for the random KL coefficients and consequently exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also analyze the effect of a modelling mismatch on the estimator performance. To further reduce the complexity we extend the batch linear MMSE to the sequential linear MMSE estimator. With the fast convergence property and the simple structure the sequential linear MMSE estimator provides an attractive alternative to the implementation of channel estimator.

A low-complexity time-domain MMSE channel estimator for space-time/frequency block-coded OFDM systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
Focusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency-selective channels this paper pursues a channel estimation approach in time domain for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems based on AR channel modelling. The paper proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) time-domain channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems with transmitter diversity in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the channel impulse responses 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 MMSE estimator. Subsequently optimal rank reduction is applied to obtain significant taps resulting in a smaller computational load on the proposed estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through the analytical results and computer simulations. In order to explore the performance the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is derived for the maximum ratio receive combiner (MRRC). We then consider the stochastic Cramer-Rao lower bound(CRLB) and derive the closed-form expression for the random KL coefficients and consequently exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also analyze the effect of a modelling mismatch on the estimator performance. Simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithms are capable of tracking fast fading and improving overall performance.

Nondata-aided joint channel estimation and equalization for OFDM systems in very rapidly varying mobile channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2012) Şenol, Habib; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of joint channel estimation and equalization for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and very rapidly time varying channels. The resulting algorithm is based on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization-maximum a posteriori probability (SAGE-MAP) technique which is particularly well suited to multicarrier signal formats. The algorithm is implemented in the time-domain which enables one to use the Gaussian approximation of the transmitted OFDM samples. Consequently the averaging process of the nonpilot data symbols becomes analytically possible resulting in a feasible and computationally efficient channel estimation algorithm leading to a receiver structure that yields also an equalized output from which the data symbols are detected with excellent symbol error rate (SER) performance. Based on this Gaussian approximation the exact Bayesian Cramer Rao lower bound (CRLB) as well as the convergence rate of the algorithm are derived analytically. To reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm discrete Legendre orthogonal basis functions are employed to represent the rapidly time-varying fading channel. It is shown that depending on the normalized Doppler frequency only a small number of expansion coefficients is sufficient to approximate the channel very well and there is no need to know the correlation function of the input signal. The computational complexity of the algorithm is shown to be similar to O(NL) per detected data symbol and per SAGE-MAP algorithm cycle where N is the number of OFDM subcarriers and L is the number of multipath components.

Performance Investigation of IEEE 802.11af Systems Under Realistic Channel Conditions
(IEEE, 2015) Şenol, Habib; Erküçük, Serhat; Erküçük, Serhat
As the analog TV broadcasting channels have become less frequently used in the last decade there has been a great interest in these frequency bands for the deployment of metropolitan local and personal area networks. Among them the local area network standard IEEE 802.11af defines PHY and MAC layer implementation of such networks in these unused frequency bands also named television white space (TVWS). According to the standard the systems may use contiguous or non-contiguous channels during their operation depending on the channel availability. In this paper we investigate in detail the performance of different operation modes of these systems under realistic channel conditions. While the perfect knowledge of channel would result in similar system performances as the number of in-between-bands occupying the non-contiguous modes is increased the channel estimation performance degrades drastically which is quantified in this study. In addition it is shown that determining the true locations of multipaths heavily relies on the selected channel resolution and has a significant effect on the system performance. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effects of both the non-contiguous operation modes and the selected channel resolution.

Rapidly Varying Sparse Channel Tracking with Hybrid Kalman-OMP Algorithm
(Springer, 2019) Şenol, Habib; Erküçük, Serhat; Erküçük, Serhat; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
It is expected from future communication standards that channel estimation algorithms should be able to operate over very fast varying frequency selective channel models. Therefore in this study autoregressive (AR) modeled fast varying channel has been considered and tracked with Kalman filter over one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Channel sparsity is exploited which decreases the complexity requirements of the Kalman algorithm. Since Kalman filter is not directly applicable to sparse channels orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm is modified for AR modeled sparse signal estimation. Also by using windows sparsity detection errors have been decreased. The simulation results showed that sparse fast varying channel can be tracked with the proposed hybrid Kalman-OMP algorithm and windowing method offers improved MSE results.
