Ieee 802.15.4a Based Ultra Wideband Systems for Coexistence With Primary Users
(IEEE, 2015) Fındıklı, Çağlar; Erküçük, Serhat; Çelebi, Mehmet Ertuğrul
Peaceful coexistence is a major implementation issue for both cognitive radios and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Accordingly the UWB impulse radio (UWB-IR) based Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standard IEEE 802.15.4a has suggested using linear combination of pulses to limit interference to coexisting primary systems. In this paper motivated by implementing the IEEE 802.15.4a based UWB-IR systems for peaceful coexistence we consider the implementation of linear combination of pulses as suggested by the standard. Accordingly we (I) design linearly combined pulses that conform to the standard requirements and (ii) study the UWB-IR system performance in the presence of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wideband primary systems with various bandwidths and subcarriers. The study shows that the UWB-IR system performance can be significantly improved by selecting suitable pulses for transmission and employing appropriate filtering techniques at the receiver when the primary system is active. The results are important for the practical implementation of IEEE 802.15.4a based UWB systems coexisting with licensed systems.

Support Vector Machines Based Target Tracking Techniques
(IEEE, 2006) Özer, Sedat; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Kabaoğlu, Nihat
This paper addresses the problem of aplying powerful statistical pattern classification algorithms based on kernels to target tracking. Rather than directly adapting a recognizer we develop a localizer directly using the regression form of the Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed approach considers using dynamic model together as feature vectors and makes the hyperplane and the support vectors follow the changes in these features. The performance of the tracker is demostrated in a sensor network scenario with a moving target in a polynomial route.

Channel Estimation for Spatial Modulation Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems
(IEEE, 2015) Acar, Yusuf; Doğan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal
A combination of spatial modulation and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SM-OFDM) has been recently proposed for multicarrier systems while assuming the perfect channel state information (P-CSI) available at the receiver. But in practical scenarios the estimation of CSI is crucial in order to detect the transmitted data coherently. In this work(1) a new frame structure and pilot symbol aided channel estimation (PSA-CE) technique with a piecewise linear interpolation is proposed for the SM-OFDM systems operating in the presence of frequency selective channel. Bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed channel estimation technique is then investigated with different channel models such as Typical Urban ( TU) and Rural Urban (RU) for 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). In particular it is shown that the performance with estimated channel came close to that with known channel within 2.3 dB in SNR for BER = 10(-4) for TU channels.

Beacons for Indoor Positioning
(IEEE, 2017) Cay, Elif; Mert, Yeliz; Bahcetepe, Ali; Akyazi, Bugra Kagan; Öğrenci, Arif Selçuk
This work aims to develop a system for the tracking and control of elderly or handicapped people in an indoor environment. We have developed both a special box using an Arduino board and a mobile application on Android to determine the location of the target based on the Bluetooth Low Energy signals transmitted by special Beacons which are placed in the area of interest. Both systems are used to determine the position of the person and to monitor any event that would cause an alert. Those events can be a long stay in a fixed position or the entry into pre-defined forbidden zones. The location data will be stored in a database for further processing. Alerts can trigger messages to be sent to local authorities and/or relatives of the people. Measurements and test results are discussed regarding their performance. It is clear that more research and development is necessary for obtaining reliable products.

Power Control and Resource Allocation in Tdd-Ofdm Based Femtocell Networks With Interference
(IEEE, 2017) Altabbaa, Mhd Tahssin; Arsan, Taner; Panayırcı, Erdal
Femtocell technology is a promising solution for different dilemmas in cellular networks. In femtocell power control the interference experienced by the network is divided into two main tiers according to the type of network whose signal is interfering with another network. In utilizing the functionality of a two-tier network where femtocell technology is deployed a major challenge is in sharing the frequency resource of a macrocell. This paper proposes an enhanced dynamic algorithm bounded by two constraints to optimize the transmission powers of femtocell users in TDD-OFDM based femtocell networks taking into consideration rate enhancement of femtocell mobile stations. We compare our algorithm with the macrocell guard system which allows femtocells to occupy only the subchannels unoccupied by the macrocell.

Performance Investigation of Ieee 802.11af Systems Under Realistic Channel Conditions
(IEEE, 2015) Macit, Mustafa Can; Şenol, Habib; 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.
Complex Event Post Processing for Traffic Accidents
(IEEE, 2012) Öğrenci, Arif Selçuk; Öğrenci, Arif Selçuk
In this paper we describe a framework for an expert system that tries to predict effects of an accident based on past data using supervised learning employing artificial neural networks. For this purpose sensory data events are post processed in order to generate a reasonable mapping between input and output parameters in case an event is detected automatically or manually. The framework is intended to be used to take actions for reducing the effects of the accident on traffic congestion and to inform necessary parties to intervene in a timely fashion.

Qos-Constrained Semi-Persistent Scheduling of Machine-Type Communications in Cellular Networks
(IEEE, 2019) Karadağ, Göksu; Gül, Recep; Sadi, Yalçın; Ergen, Sinem Coleri
The dramatic growth of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in cellular networks brings the challenge of satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of a large number of M2M devices with limited radio resources. In this paper we propose an optimization framework for the semi-persistent scheduling of M2M transmissions based on the exploitation of their periodicity with the goal of reducing the overhead of the signaling required for connection initiation and scheduling. The goal of the optimization problem is to minimize the number of frequency bands used by the M2M devices to allow fair resource allocation of newly joining M2M and human-to-human communications. The constraints of the problem are delay and periodicity requirements of the M2M devices. We first prove that the optimization problem is NP-hard and then propose a polynomial-time heuristic algorithm employing a fixed priority assignment according to the QoS characteristics of the devices. We show that this heuristic algorithm provides an asymptotic approximation ratio of 2.33 to the optimal solution for the case where the delay tolerances of the devices are equal to their periods. Through extensive simulations we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs better than the existing algorithms in terms of frequency band usage and schedulability.

Partial Power and Rate Adaptation for Mqam/Ofdm Systems Under Cfo
(IEEE, 2014) Dong, Zhicheng; Fan, Pingzhi; Panayırcı, Erdal; Lei, Xianfu
In this paper a new partial power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO). The conventional adaptive scheme is shown to be a special case of the partially adaptive scheme technique which enables the resulting non-convex optimization problem solved in a feasible way. It leads to a solution for optimal power adaptation that maximizes the spectral efficiency of an OFDM system using M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) under average power and instantaneous BER constraints. Closed-form expressions for the average spectral efficiency (ASE) of adaptive OFDM systems are derived. The theoretical results and computer simulations show that the range of the partial adaptation becomes narrow and the performance of constant power and continuous rate is very close to that of the partially adaptive power and continuous rate for higher CFO or high signal noise ratio (SNR) values.

Busy Tone Implementation for Coexistence of Ieee 802.22 and 802.11 Af Systems
(IEEE, 2015) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat; Baykaş, Tunçer
In this paper a new algorithm based on busy tone approach has been proposed for the coexistence of IEEE 802.22 and IEEE 802.11af systems in TV white space. Different from the earlier study in addition to 802.11af access points listening to the busy tone signal their clients also listen to the busy tone and let the access points know once they hear it. Accordingly interference caused to 802.22 systems has been reduced. This study quantifies the improved system performance in terms of interfering packet rate for different hearing regions considering the communication parameters and channel models adapted for the standards.

Relay-Aided Secure Broadcasting for Vlc
(IEEE, 2018) Arafa, Ahmed; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
A visible light communication (VLC) broadcast channel is considered in which a transmitter communicates with two receivers in the presence of an external eavesdropper. Trusted cooperative half-duplex relays are deployed to aid with securing the transmitted data. Transmission is amplitude-constrained to maintain operation within the light emitting diodes (LEDs) dynamic range. Achievable secrecy rate regions are derived under such amplitude constraints for this multi receiver wiretap channel first for direct transmission without the relays and then for cooperative jamming decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward relaying schemes. Superposition coding with uniform signaling is used for transmission along with secure beamforming at the relays. Superiority of the secure relaying schemes over direct transmission is shown with performance depending on how far the eavesdropper is from the transmitter and the relays.

Design of Practical Matching Networks With Lumped Elements Via Modeling
(IEEE, 2007) Yarman, Sıddık Binboğa; Şengül, Metin Y.; Kılınç, Ali
It is a common practice to utilize commercially available software tools to design matching networks for wireless communication systems. Most of these tools require a properly selected matching network topology with good initial element values. Therefore in this paper a practical method is presented to generate matching networks with initial element values. In the implementation process of the proposed method first the driving point immitance data for the matching network is obtained in a straight forward manner without optimization. Then it is modeled as a realizable bounded-real input reflection coefficient which in turn yields the desired matching network with reasonable element values. Eventually the initial design is improved by optimizing the performance of the matched system employing the commercially available computer-aided design (CAD) packages. An example is given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed method. It is shown that new method provides excellent results as a front-end when utilized together with CAD tools.
Pilot Symbol Assisted Channel Estimation for 4x4 Space Time Block Coded Spatial Modulation Systems
(IEEE, 2015) Acar, Yusuf; Doğan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal
Recently spatial modulation (SM) and space-time block coding (STBC) are combined to take advantage of the benefits of both while avoiding their drawbacks for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The pioneering works on STBC-SM assume that perfect knowledge of the channel fading coefficients is available at the receiver. This work(1) addresses the challenging and timely problem of channel estimation for 4 x 4 STBC-SM systems in the presence of time-varying channels. In this paper the estimation of channel at pilot durations is done by least square (LS) method and then the channel interpolation is performed by linear interpolation or nearest neighbor interpolation algorithms. Simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed channel estimation based on the linear interpolation offer substantial performance gains over the channel estimation based on the nearest neighbor interpolation. In particular a savings of about 5dB is obtained at BER = 10(-5) as compared with the nearest interpolation based receiver at 120km/h for 4 x 4 STBC-SM systems with the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation.

(IEEE, 2013) Erdoğan, Mustafa; Şenol, Habib; Panayırcı, Erdal; Uysal, Murat

Effect of Inter-Block Region on Compressed Sensing Based Channel Estimation in Tds-Ofdm Systems
(IEEE, 2016) Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; 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.

(IEEE, 2006) Özmen, Atilla; Tander, Baran
In this study a numerical method is proposed to determine the oscillation frequencies in the astable cellular neural networks with opposite-sign templates [1]. This method depends on the training of a multilayer perceptron that uses various template coefficients and the correspondant frequency values as inputs and outputs. First of all a frequency surface is obtained from templates and then training samples are picked from this surface in order to apply to multilayer perceptron. The effects of the template coefficients to the oscillation frequencies are also investigated. Furthermore an oscillator design is carried out for simulation and the performance as well as the advantages of the proposed method are evaluated.

Comparison of Compressed Sensing Based Algorithms for Sparse Signal Reconstruction
(IEEE, 2016) Çelik, Safa; Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
Compressed sensing theory shows that any signal which is defined as sparse in a given domain can be reconstructed using fewer linear projections instead of using all Nyquist-rate samples. In this paper we investigate basis pursuit matching pursuit orthogonal matching pursuit and compressive sampling matching pursuit algorithms which are basic compressed sensing based algorithms and present performance curves in terms of mean squared error for various parameters including signal-tonoise ratio sparsity and number of measurements with regard to mean squared error. In addition accuracy of estimation performances has been supported with theoretical lower bounds (Cramer-Rao lower bound and deterministic lower mean squared error). Considering estimation performances compressive sampling matching pursuit yields the best results unless the signal has a non-sparse structure.
