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.

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.

Construction of Lossless Ladder Networks With Simple Lumped Elements Connected Via Commensurate Transmission Lines
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009) Şengül, Metin Y.
In this work an algorithm to design lossless ladder networks with simple lumped elements connected via commensurate transmission lines is proposed. 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.

Power and Rate Adaptation Based on Csi and Velocity Variation for Ofdm Systems Under Doubly Selective Fading Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2016) Dong, Zhicheng; Fan, Pingzhi; Lei, Xianfu; Panayırcı, Erdal
In this paper a novel joint continuous power and rate adaptation scheme is proposed fordoubly selective fading channels in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on terminal velocity and perfect or imperfect channel state information (CSI). The analysis and simulation results show that the continuous power and rate adaptation scheme is very effective and improve the performance of OFDM systems substantially under time-varying fading channels as compared with the traditional adaptation schemes operating without a priori knowledge of velocity and mobility adaptation without CSI.

Performance of Transmit and Receive Antenna Selection in the Presence of Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Güçlüoğlu, Tansal; Panayırcı, Erdal
This letter considers the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of space-time coded (STC) systems with transmit and receive antenna selection over quasi-static flat fading channels. By performing pairwise error probability analysis and presenting numerical examples we show that the diversity order achieved with perfect channel state information (CSI) is still achievable with imperfect CSI used both at the antenna selection and the space-time decoding processes. We note that our results apply to general STC systems with both transmit and/or receive antenna selection based on largest received powers which can be estimated by any channel estimator.

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.

Broadband Decoupling and Matching of a Superdirective Two-Port Antenna Array
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Volmer, Christian; Şengül, Metin Y.; Weber, Joern; Stephan, Ralf; Hein, Matthias A.
Decoupling and matching networks may be used to improve the performance of compact antenna arrays where mutual radiator coupling has caused a degradation of the diversity capabilities. A popular network consists of a 180 degrees rat-race directional coupler which decouples the antenna ports followed by impedance matching networks at each port. Researchers however usually neglect the presence of losses both within the antenna array and the decoupling and matching network. For this reason we have built various narrowband and broadband matching networks and compare their performances with the help of calibrated far-field measurement data.

Code Shift Keying Impulse Modulation for Uwb Communications
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Erküçük, Serhat; Kim, Dong In; Kwak, Kyung Sup
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 delays on the decision variables by randomizing locations of the transmit pulse.

Sparse Channel Estimation and Equalization for Ofdm-Based Underwater Cooperative Systemsw With Amplify-And Relaying
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2016) Panayırcı, Erdal; Şenol, Habib; Uysal, Murat; Poor, H. Vincent
This paper is concerned with a challenging problem of channel estimation and equalization for amplify-and-forward cooperative relay based orthogonal frequency division multi-plexing (OFDM) systems in sparse underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. The sparseness of the channel impulse response and prior information for the non-Gaussian channel gains modeled by an exact continuous Gaussian mixture (CGM) are exploited to improve the performance of the channel estimation algorithm. The resulting novel algorithm initially estimates the overall sparse complex-valued channel taps from the source to the destination as well as their locations using the matching pursuit (MP) approach. The effective time-domain non-Gaussian noise is approximated well as a Gaussian noise in the frequency-domain where the estimation takes place. An efficient and low complexity algorithm is developed based on a combination of the MP and the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) based space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization technique to improve the estimates of the channel taps and their locations in an iterative manner. Computer simulations show that the UWA channel is estimated very effectively and the proposed algorithm exhibits excellent symbol error rate and channel estimation performance.

Performance of Spatial Modulation in the Presence of Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2012) Basar, Ertuğrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
This work investigates the negative effects of channel estimation errors on the performance of spatial modulation (SM) when operating over flat Rayleigh fading channels. The pairwise error probability of the SM scheme is derived in the presence of channel estimation errors and an upper bound on the average bit error probability is evaluated for M-PSK and M-QAM signalling. It is shown via computer simulations that the derived upper bound becomes very tight with increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the SM scheme is quite robust to channel estimation errors.

A Reliable Successive Relaying Protocol
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2014) Başar, Ertuğrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
Successive relaying has recently emerged as an effective technique for cooperative networks and provides significant improvements in bandwidth efficiency over traditional relaying techniques ;however to achieve full-diversity the available successive relaying protocols generally assume noise-free sourcerelay and interference-free inter-relay channels. In this paper a novel successive relaying protocol is proposed for N-relay wireless networks by removing these optimistic assumptions. The proposed protocol benefits from distributed space-time block codes (STBCs) with coordinate interleaving and relay selection. It achieves a diversity order of two and high transmission rate under realistic network conditions with single-symbol maximum likelihood (ML) detection. A general N-relay signaling protocol is presented and specific design examples are given for N = 2 3 and 4-relay cooperative networks. The average symbol error probability (ASEP) is analytically derived and shown to match with computer simulation results. It is also shown via computer simulations that the proposed scheme achieves significantly better error performance and is more robust to channel estimation errors than its counterparts given in the literature under realistic network conditions.

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.

Optical Mimo-Ofdm With Generalized Led Index Modulation
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017) Yeşilkaya, Anıl; Basar, Ertugrul; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Panayırcı, Erdal; Uysal, Murat; Haas, Harald
Visible light communications (VLC) is a promising and uncharted new technology for the next generation of wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a novel generalized light emitting diode (LED) index modulation method for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based VLC systems. The proposed scheme avoids the typical spectrum efficiency losses incurred by time- and frequency-domain shaping in OFDM signals. This is achieved by exploiting spatial multiplexing along with LED index modulation. Accordingly real and imaginary components of the complex time-domain OFDM signals are separated first then resulting bipolar signals are transmitted over a VLC channel by encoding sign information in LED indexes. As a benchmark we demonstrate the performance analysis of our proposed system for both analytical and physical channel models. Furthermore two novel receiver designs are proposed. Each one is suitable for frequency-flat or selective channel scenarios. It has been shown via extensive computer simulations that the proposed scheme achieves considerably better bit error ratio versus signal-to-noise-ratio performance than the existing VLC-MIMO-OFDM systems that use the same number of transmit and receive units [LEDs and photo diodes (PDs)]. Compared with the single-input single-output (SISO) DC biased optical (DCO)-OFDM system both spectral efficiency and DC bias can be doubled and removed respectively simply by exploiting a MIMO configuration.

Performance Analysis of Transmit and Receive Antenna Selection Over Flat Fading Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Güçlüoğlu, Tansal; Duman, Tolga M.
The paper considers two different antenna selection schemes for space-time coded systems over flat fading channels. First we explore antenna selection at the transmitter side based on the received signal to noise ratios. We then study the joint selection of receive and transmit antennas. Both schemes assume a slowly fading channel (i.e. quasi-static fading) and require some limited feedback from the receiver to the transmitter. By computing upper bounds on the pairwise error probabilities and conducting extensive simulations we show that the space-time coded systems achieve full diversity even with antenna selection provided that the code is full rank. These results ate extensions of earlier work on antenna selection for MIMO systems [1] which only considers receive antenna selection.

An Improved Adaptive Subspace Tracking Algorithm Based on Approximated Power Iteration
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018) Wu, Qiang; Zheng, Jian-Sheng; Dong, Zhicheng; Panayırcı, Erdal; Wu, Zhi-Qiang; Ren, Qingnuobu
A subspace tracking technique has drawn a lot of attentions due to its wide applications. The main objective of this approach is to estimate signal or noise subspace basis for the sample covariance matrix. In this paper we focus on providing a fast stable and adaptive subspace tracking algorithm that is implemented with low computational complexity. An alternative realization of the fast approximate power iteration (FAPI) method termed modified FAPI (MFAPI) is also presented. Rather than solving an inverse square root of a matrix employed in the FAPI the MFAPI applies the matrix product directly to ensure the orthonormality of the subspace basis matrix at each recursion. This approach yields a simpler derivation and is numerically stable while maintaining a similar computational complexity as compared with that of the FAPI. Furthermore we present a detailed mathematical proof of the numerical stability of our proposed algorithm. Computer simulation results indicate that the MFAPI outperforms many classical subspace tracking algorithms particularly at the transient-state step.

A Mobile Channel Model for Vlc and Application To Adaptive System Design
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Narmanlıoğlu, Ömer; Uysal, Murat; Panayırcı, Erdal
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 according to channel conditions. To demonstrate the benefits of link adaptation over a mobile VLC channel we propose an adaptive system with luminary selection and demonstrate improvements in spectral efficiency over non-adaptive systems.

Joint Detection of Primary Systems Using Uwb Impulse Radios
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011) Erküçük, Serhat; Lampe, Lutz; Schober, Robert
Regulation in Europe and Japan requires the implementation of detect-and-avoid (DAA) techniques in some bands for the coexistence of licensed primary systems and secondary ultra wideband (UWB) systems. In a typical coexistence scenario a primary system may have potentially interdependent uplink-downlink communication channels (e. g. simultaneous uplink-downlink communications in a frequency division duplex system) overlapping with the frequency band of a UWB system. If such interdependencies of primary systems' activities are known the UWB system's ability to detect primary systems can be improved. In this study we are interested in determining the possible gains in the detection performance when taking interdependencies into account for practically implementable detection methods. Contrary to selecting the detection thresholds individually for each band as in a conventional detection approach the bands are jointly processed. To this end maximum a posteriori (MAP) decision variables are generated at the receiver and bias terms are introduced to achieve a desired trade-off between the probabilities of detection and false alarm. In addition to finding the optimal detection results based on the Neyman-Pearson (NP) test a suboptimal but practically implementable approach is also considered and the gain compared to conventional independent detection is quantified for various practical scenarios. The results obtained from this study can be used for improving the primary system detection performance of UWB systems as well as for cognitive radios that perform spectrum sensing in multiple bands.
