Design of Practical Broadband Matching Networks With Lumped Elements
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2013) Şengül, Metin Y.
It is always preferable to use commercially available software tools to design broadband matching networks for microwave communication systems. However for these tools the matching network topology and element values must be selected properly. Therefore in this paper a practical method is presented to generate matching networks with good initial element values. Eventually the performance of the designed matching network is optimized by employing the commercially available computer-aided design (CAD) tools. An example is given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method provides very good initials for CAD tools.

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.

Joint Optimization of Wireless Network Energy Consumption and Control System Performance in Wireless Networked Control Systems
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017) Şadi, Yalçın; Ergen, Sinem Coleri
Communication system design for wireless networked control systems requires satisfying the high reliability and strict delay constraints of control systems for guaranteed stability with the limited battery resources of sensor nodes despite the wireless networking induced non-idealities. These include non-zero packet error probability caused by the unreliability of wireless transmissions and non-zero delay resulting from packet transmission and shared wireless medium. In this paper we study the joint optimization of control and communication systems incorporating their efficient abstractions practically used in real-world scenarios. The proposed framework allows including any non-decreasing function of the power consumption of the nodes as the objective any modulation scheme and any scheduling algorithm. We first introduce an exact solution method based on the analysis of the optimality conditions and smart enumeration techniques. Then we propose two polynomial-time heuristic algorithms based on intelligent search space reduction and smart searching techniques. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithms perform very close to optimal and much better than previous algorithms at much smaller runtime for various scenarios.

Low-Complexity Map-Based Successive Data Detection for Coded Ofdm Systems Over Highly Mobile Wireless Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011) Panayırcı, Erdal; Dogan, Hakan; Poor, H. Vincent
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of data detection for coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency-selective and very rapidly time varying channels. New low-complexity maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) data detection algorithms are proposed based on sequential detection with optimal ordering (SDOO) and sequential detection with successive cancellation (SDSC). The received signal vector is optimally decomposed into reduced dimensional subobservations by exploiting the banded structure of the frequency-domain channel matrix whose bandwidth is a parameter to be adjusted according to the speed of the mobile terminal. The data symbols are then detected by the proposed algorithms in a computationally efficient way by means of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique with Gibbs sampling. The impact of the imperfect channel state information (CSI) on the bit error rate (BER) performance of these algorithms is investigated analytically and by computer simulations. A detailed computational complexity investigation and simulation results indicate that particularly the algorithm based on SDSC has significant performance and complexity advantages and is very robust against channel estimation errors compared with existing suboptimal detection and equalization algorithms proposed earlier in the literature.

New Trellis Code Design for Spatial Modulation
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011) Basar, Ertugrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
Spatial modulation (SM) in which multiple antennas are used to convey information besides the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique which has recently been proposed as an alternative to V-BLAST (vertical Bell Labs layered space-time). In this paper a novel MIMO transmission scheme called spatial modulation with trellis coding (SM-TC) is proposed. Similar to the conventional trellis coded modulation (TCM) in this scheme a trellis encoder and an SM mapper are jointly designed to take advantage of the benefits of both. A soft decision Viterbi decoder which is fed with the soft information supplied by the optimal SM decoder is used at the receiver. A pairwise error probability (PEP) upper bound is derived for the SM-TC scheme in uncorrelated quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. From the PEP upper bound code design criteria are given and then used to obtain new 4- 8- and 16-state SM-TC schemes using quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) and 8-ary phase-shift keying (8-PSK) modulations for 2 3 and 4 bits/s/Hz spectral efficiencies. It is shown via computer simulations and also supported by a theoretical error performance analysis that the proposed SM-TC schemes achieve significantly better error performance than the classical space-time trellis codes and coded V-BLAST systems at the same spectral efficiency yet with reduced decoding complexity.

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.

Bayesian Compressive Sensing for Primary User Detection
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2016) Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
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 corresponding lower bounds signal detection performance is also considered both analytically and through simulation studies. In the absence of a primary user signal the trade-off between probabilities of detection and false alarm is studied as it is equally important to determine the performance of a CS approach when there is no active primary user. To reduce the computation time and yet achieve a similar detection performance finally the effect of number of iterations is studied for various systems parameters including signal-to-noise-ratio compression ratio mean value of accumulated energy and threshold values. The presented framework in this study is important in the overall implementation of CS-based approaches for primary user detection in practical realisations such as LTE downlink OFDMA as it considers both signal reconstruction and detection.

Analysis of Extended Busy Tone Performance for Coexistence Between Wran and Wlan Tvws Networks
(IEEE, 2015) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat; Baykaş, Tunçer
TV White Spaces indicate spectrum bands which were reserved for licensed terrestrial TV broadcasting and opened to unlicensed use under regulatory conditions. One important regulation which is common in all regulatory domains is no harmful interference is created to licensed devices. On the other hand interference between unlicensed devices is not regulated. As a result system designers developed new methods to improve coexistence between TVWS networks. Extended busy tone one of such methods is designed for coexistence between wireless regional area and wireless local area networks based on IEEE 802.22 and 802.11af standards respectively. In this paper we analyse the performance of extended busy tone at different range conditions and verify via simulations under realistic conditions. Our results indicate that the method can reduce interference considerably at intermediate distances and enable networks to operate without a significant reduction in throughput.
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.

Super-Orthogonal Trellis-Coded Spatial Modulation
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2012) Basar, Ertugrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
Spatial modulation (SM) which employs the indices of multiple transmit antennas to transmit information in addition to the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a novel transmission technique that has been proposed for multiple-input multiple-output systems. In this study a new class of space-time trellis codes called 'super-orthogonal trellis-coded SM' (SOTC-SM) is proposed. These codes combine set partitioning and a super set of space-time block coded SM (STBC-SM) codewords to achieve maximal diversity and coding gains by exploiting both SM and space-time block codes. Unlike super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes (SOSTTCs) which parametrise the orthogonal STBCs these new codes expand the antenna constellation using the principle of SM. Systematic construction methods are presented for the SOTC-SM scheme and design examples are given for 2 4 and 8 trellis states at 2 3 and 4 bits/s/Hz spectral efficiencies. The approximate bit-error probability performance of SOTC-SM is derived and shown to match computer simulation results. A simplified maximum likelihood detection method for the proposed scheme is given. It is shown through computer simulations that the proposed SOTC-SM schemes achieve significantly better error performance than SOSTTCs with comparable complexity.

After giving the algorithm a lumped-element low-pass Chebyshev filter was transformed to its mixed-element counterpart to illustrate the utilization of the algorithm. The filter designed for a frequency band around 1 GHz was fabricated and experimentally characterized. We find very good agreement between measured and simulated transducer power gain over the entire frequency band of interest.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing With Index Modulation
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2013) Başar, Ertuğrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
In this paper a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme called OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM) is proposed for operation over frequency-selective and rapidly time-varying fading channels. In this scheme the information is conveyed not only by M-ary signal constellations as in classical OFDM but also by the indices of the subcarriers which are activated according to the incoming bit stream. Different low complexity transceiver structures based on maximum likelihood detection or log-likelihood ratio calculation are proposed and a theoretical error performance analysis is provided for the new scheme operating under ideal channel conditions. Then the proposed scheme is adapted to realistic channel conditions such as imperfect channel state information and very high mobility cases by modifying the receiver structure. The approximate pairwise error probability of OFDM-IM is derived under channel estimation errors. For themobility case several interference unaware/aware detection methods are proposed for the new scheme. It is shown via computer simulations that the proposed scheme achieves significantly better error performance than classical OFDM due to the information bits carried by the indices of OFDM subcarriers under both ideal and realistic channel conditions.

Joint Wavelet-Based Spectrum Sensing and Fbmc Modulation for Cognitive Mmwave Small Cell Networks
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2016) Hosseini, Haleh; Anpalagan, Alagan; Raahemifar, Kaamran; Erküçük, Serhat; Habib, Salman
Millimetre-wave (mmWave) 5G communications is an emerging technology to enhance the capacity of existing systems by thousand-fold improvement. Heterogeneous networks employing densely distributed small cells can optimise the available coverage and throughput of 5G systems. Efficiently utilising the spectrum bands by small cells is one of the approaches that will considerably increase the available data rate and capacity of the heterogeneous networks. This challenging task can be achieved by spectrum sensing capability of cognitive radios and new modulation techniques for data transmission. In this study a wavelet-based filter bank is proposed for spectrum sensing and modulation in 5G heterogeneous networks. The proposed technique can mitigate the spectral leakage and interference by adapting the subcarriers according to cognitive information provided by wavelet packet based spectrum sensing (WPSS) and lowering sidelobes using wavelet-based filter bank multicarrier modulation. The performance improvement of WPSS compared with Fourier-based spectrum sensing is verified in terms of power spectral density comparison and probabilities of detection and false alarm. Meanwhile the bit error rate performance demonstrates the superiority of the proposed wavelet-based system compared with its Fourier-based counterpart over the 60 GHz mmWave channel.

Fuzzy Logic for Decision Extraction From Product Reviews
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Altabbaa, Mhd Tahssin; Ayabakan, Tarik; Öğrenci, Arif Selçuk
Most of manufacturers and merchants sell their products via internet websites where customers buy them and write their reviews regarding the purchased product. These reviews carry a lot of information. Prospective customers are heavily interested in the experience of the predecessor customers where enormous number of reviews are offered by the website per product. In this study given a dataset of reviews we give a solution to estimate a total score of sentiment for the product reviewed. For this purpose fuzzy logic is used to process the subjective comments and to obtain a reliable average estimation for the decision from those individual reviews. The method is executed over different models to search the effects of the frequency of features on the outcome. © 2017 IEEE.
