(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.

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.

Broadband Matching Via Reflection Function Optimization
(Wiley, 2017) Şengül, Metin Y.
In this paper a practical approach is presented for designing broadband matching networks via reflection function optimization. In the proposed algorithm the input or output reflection function of the matching network is expressed in terms of three real polynomials describing the matching network load and generator reflection coefficients. Next one of the polynomials is optimized to get minimum reflection function values in the passband. Then matching network topology and element values are obtained via the formed input reflection coefficient expression. Two examples are presented to explain the usage of the new approach.

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.

Low-Complexity Joint Data Detection and Channel Equalisation for Highly Mobile Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems
(2010) Dogan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
This study is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of channel equalisation and data detection for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency-selective and very rapidly time-varying channels. The algorithm is based on the space alternating generalised expectation-maximisation (SAGE) technique which is particularly well suited to multicarrier signal formats and can be easily extended to multi-input multi-output-OFDM systems. In fast fading channels the orthogonality between subcarriers is destroyed by the time variation of a fading channel over an OFDM symbol duration which causes severe inter-carrier interference (ICI) and in conventional frequency-domain approaches results in an irreducible error floor. The proposed joint data detection and equalisation algorithm updates the data sequences in series leading to a receiver structure that also incorporates ICI cancellation enabling the system to operate at high vehicle speeds. A computational complexity investigation as well as detailed computer simulations indicate that this algorithm has significant performance and complexity advantages over existing suboptimal detection and equalisation algorithms proposed earlier in the literature. © 2010 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

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.

Em-Based Joint Data Detection and Channel Estimation for Uplink Mc-Cdma Systems Over Frequency Selective Channels
(IEEE, 2007) Doğan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Fleury, Bernard Henri
This paper is concerned with joint channel estimation and data detection for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of frequency fading channel. The detection and estimation algorithm implemented at the receiver is based on a version of the expectation maximization (EM) technique which is very suitable for the multicarrier signal formats. Application of the EM-based algorithm to the problem of iterative data detection and channel estimation leads to a receiver structure that also incorporates a partial interference cancelation. Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithm has excellent BER end estimation performance.

Sparse Channel Estimation for Space-Time Block Coded Ofdm-Based Underwater Acoustic Channels
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Altabbaa, Mhd Tahssin; Öğrenci, Arif Selçuk; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
Communication over acoustic signals underwater results in multi-scale multi-lag channels due to multipath propagation. Hence a robust channel estimation technique has to be present at the receiver. In this paper assuming underwater channels undergoing Rayleigh fading a path-based channel model that characterizes each path of the time-varying sparse channel by a delay a Doppler scale and an attenuation factor is considered. Alamouti's space-time block transmit diversity scheme is used in the form of two transmit antennas and one receiver and the proposed OFDM-based non-data-aided algorithm iteratively estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarrier using the expectation maximization (EM) method which in turn converges to a true maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimate of the unknown channel where the Karhunen-Lo'eve expansion is performed for complexity reduction. Finally the novel channel estimation algorithm combines the aforementioned MAP-EM technique with ESPRIT for delay estimation by exploiting the sparseness of the underwater acoustic channels. The performance of the proposed algorithm is then presented in terms of average mean square error and symbol error rate for QPSK signaling with extreme Doppler spreads and different pilot spacings. It is shown that excellent mean-square error and symbol error rate performance is achieved even in the presence of extreme Doppler shifts. © 2018 IEEE.

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.
