In this paper various algorithms are proposed to help IEEE 802.11af and IEEE 802.22 wireless systems to coexist in TV white space by considering multiple techniques. By using busy tone power control and multihop communication techniques improvements have been made compared to prior approaches. With this approach while IEEE 802.22 systems are protected from intra-network interference IEEE 802.11af systems are still able to continue transmitting packets. Considering the communication parameters and ...

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 ...

In compressive sensing (CS)-based spectrum sensing literature most studies consider accurate reconstruction of the primary user signal rather than detection of the signal. Furthermore possible absence of the signal is not taken into account while evaluating the spectrum sensing performance. In this study Bayesian CS is studied in detail for primary user detection. In addition to assessing the signal reconstruction performance and comparing it with the conventional basis pursuit approach and the ...

Considering the sparse structure of ultra-wideband (UWB) channels compressive sensing (CS) is suitable for UWB channel estimation. Among various implementations of CS the inclusion of Bayesian framework has shown potential to improve signal recovery as statistical information related to signal parameters is considered. In this paper we study the channel estimation performance of Bayesian CS (BCS) for various UWB channel models and noise conditions. Specifically we investigate the effects of (i) ...

In this paper a new power control algorithm based on busy tone approach has been proposed for the coordination of IEEE 802.22 and IEEE 802.11af systems in TV white space. Different from the earlier studies in addition to both 802.11af access point and clients listening to the busy tone they also adjust their communication power according to the location information and use hopping for communication if needed. Acccordingly interference caused to 802.22 systems has been reduced while the 802.11af ...

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 ...

In this paper the system performance of M-ary code shift keying (MCSK) impulse modulation is studied in detail and compared to M-ary pulse position modulation (MPPM) under single- and multi-user scenarios. For that bounds on the semi-analytic symbol-error rate (SER) expressions are derived and simulation studies are conducted. When practical implementations of MCSK and MPPM are considered it is shown that MCSK can provide about 2 dB performance gain over MPPM as it reduces the effects of multipath ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cognitive radios (CRs) may be sharing multiple frequency bands with primary systems if the CR is a wideband or an ultra wideband (UWB) system. In that case the CR should ensure all the coexisting primary systems in these bands are detected before it can start data transmission. In this work we study the primary system detection performance of a wideband CR assuming that there are multiple coexisting primary systems and that these primary systems may be jointly active. Accordingly we consider the ...
