Article Citation - WoS: 15Super-Orthogonal Trellis-Coded Spatial Modulation(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2012) Basar, Ertugrul; Aygölü, Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. VincentSpatial 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.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 20Joint 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, SalmanMillimetre-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.Article Citation - Scopus: 26Low-Complexity Joint Data Detection and Channel Equalisation for Highly Mobile Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems(2010) Dogan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. VincentThis 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 9Iterative Joint Data Detection and Channel Estimation for Uplink Mc-Cdma Systems in the Presence of Frequency Selective Channels(2010) Panayırcı, Erdal; Dogan, Hakan; Cirpan, Hakan Ali; Kocian, Alexander; Fleury, Bernard HenriThis paper is concerned with joint multiuser detection and multichannel estimation (JDE) for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of frequency selective channels. The detection and estimation implemented at the receiver are based on a version of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm and the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) which are very suitable for multicarrier signal formats. The EM-JDE receiver updates the data bit sequences in parallel while the SAGE-JDE receiver reestimates them successively. The channel parameters are updated in parallel in both schemes. 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 algorithms have excellent BER end estimation performance.

TakisIn this article the effect of power and rate adaptation on the spectral efficiency of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) is investigated in the presence of frequency selective and very rapidly time-varying fading channels under power and instantaneous bit error rate (BER) constraints. Lower bounds on the maximum spectral efficiency of adaptive OFDM/MQAM systems with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) are obtained together with a closed-form expression for the average spectral efficiency of adaptive OFDM systems. The delay between the channel estimation and the actual transmission is also considered in this article. The theoretical and numerical results show that the adaptive MQAM/OFDM systems under fast fading channels have substantial gains in spectral efficiency over the non-adaptive counterparts with perfect CSI or moderate imperfect CSI. The theoretical and numerical results also show that a good way to deal with the delay CSI under very rapidly time-varying channels is to increase the subcarrier bandwidth of the OFDM system while ignoring the impact of the cyclic prefix.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Channel Estimation for Realistic Indoor Optical Wireless Communication in Aco-Ofdm Systems(Springer, 2018) Özmen, Atilla; Şenol, HabibIn this paper channel estimation problem in a visible light communication system is considered. The information data is transmitted using asymmetrical clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. Channel estimation and symbol detection are performed by the Maximum Likelihood and the Linear Minimum Mean Square Error detection techniques respectively. The system performance is investigated in realistic environment that is simulated using an indoor channel model. Two different channels are produced using the indoor channel model. Symbol error rate (SER) performance of the system with estimated channels is presented for QPSK and 16-QAM digital modulation types and compared with the perfect channel state information. As a mean square error (MSE) performance benchmark for the channel estimator Cramer-Rao lower bound is also derived. MSE and SER performances of the simulation results are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Bayesian Estimation of Discrete-Time Cellular Neural Network Coefficients(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2017) Özer, Hakan Metin; Özmen, Atilla; Şenol, HabibA new method for finding the network coefficients of a discrete-time cellular neural network (DTCNN) is proposed. This new method uses a probabilistic approach that itself uses Bayesian learning to estimate the network coefficients. A posterior probability density function (PDF) is composed using the likelihood and prior PDFs derived from the system model and prior information respectively. This posterior PDF is used to draw samples with the help of the Metropolis algorithm a special case of the Metropolis--Hastings algorithm where the proposal distribution function is symmetric and resulting samples are then averaged to find the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimate of the network coefficients. A couple of image processing applications are performed using these estimated parameters and the results are compared with those of some well-known methods.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Bayesian Compressive Sensing for Ultra-Wideband Channel Estimation: Algorithm and Performance Analysis(Springer, 2015) Özgör, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Çırpan, Hakan AliDue to 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) sparse structure of standardized IEEE 802.15.4a channel models (ii) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions and (iii) number of measurements on the BCS channel estimation performance and compare them to the results of -norm minimization based estimation which is widely used for sparse channel estimation. We also provide a lower bound on mean-square error (MSE) for the biased BCS estimator and compare it with the MSE performance of implemented BCS estimator. Moreover we study the computation efficiencies of BCS and -norm minimization in terms of computation time by making use of the big- notation. The study shows that BCS exhibits superior performance at higher SNR regions for adequate number of measurements and sparser channel models (e.g. CM-1 and CM-2). Based on the results of this study the BCS method or the -norm minimization method can be preferred over the other one for different system implementation conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Broadband 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.

In the literature SM-OFDM systems assume a perfect channel state information (P-CSI) available at the receiver for coherent detection and the channel estimation problem is not considered. It is clear that the channel estimation is a critical issue on the performance of SM-OFDM systems. In this paper a frame structure where pilot symbols are typically interspersed with data symbols among the sub-carriers to aid the channel estimation is considered. Then the pilot symbol aided channel estimation (PSA-CE) technique with different interpolations is proposed for the SM-OFDM systems. It is shown that in the proposed PSA-CE equidistantly spaced pilot symbols allow to reconstruct the channel response by means of interpolation if the spacing of the pilots is sufficiently close to satisfy the sampling theorem. Linear nearest neighbor piecewise cubic Hermite and the low-pass interpolations are investigated to explore trade-off between complexity and performances. We show that the low pass interpolator yields better performance than the other interpolation techniques for selected cases such as higher order modulations. The results validate the potential of the proposed PSA-CE estimation applying to SM-OFDM systems.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Performance Analysis of Maximal Ratio Transmission With Relay Selection in Two-Way Relay Networks Over Nakagami-M Fading Channels(Springer, 2016) Erdoğan, Eylem; Güçlüoğlu, TansalIn this paper we investigate the performance of an amplify-and-forward multi-input multi-output two way relay network where two sources are equipped with multiple antennas employing maximal ratio transmission and the communication is carried through the selected relay resulting in the largest received power. Assuming the fading channel coefficients are Nakagami-m distributed we derive the sum symbol error rate (SSER) outage probabilities for each user and the overall system. In addition diversity and array gains are obtained using the derived asymptotic SSER and system outage probability (OP) expressions. With the help of asymptotic system OP we find the optimum location of relay by solving the convex optimization problem. Furthermore we investigate the impact of limited feedback and imperfect channel estimations on the performance of the proposed structure. Finally theoretical findings are validated by simulation results.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Selective Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Mercuric Ions by Octyl Methane Sulfonamide(Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003) Bıçak, Niyazi; Sungur, Sana; Gazi, Mustafa; Tan, NükhetN-octyl methane sulfonamide (OMSA) has been demonstrated to be a very efficient reagent for selective extraction of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The extraction bases on rapid reaction of OMSA with Hg(II) ions yielding mono and disulfonamido mercury compounds in ordinary conditions. Solubility of OMSA and its mercury compounds in 2-ethyl hexanol provide a clear-cut phase separation in the extraction. The solution of OMSA in 2-ethyl hexanol (0.4 mol L-1) is able to extract 82.2% of mercuric-acetate (0.4 mol L-1) in non-buffered conditions. Although the process depends on the nature of accompanying anions the distribution coefficient is reasonably high (k(d) greater than or equal to 1.27) even in the presence of chloride ions. The extraction is strictly selective and the presence of Cd(II) Zn(II) Pb(II) do not bring any interference. The extraction system works in moderate concentrations. Extracted mercury in the organic phase can be recovered by back-extraction with concentrated HCl or H2SO4 solutions. After acid treatment the organic solution of OMSA becomes regenerated without losing its activity due to reasonable hydrolytic stability of the sulfonamide linkage and it can be recycled for further extractions.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Interpolation Based Pilot-Aided Channel Estimation for Stbc Spatial Modulation and Performance Analysis Under Imperfect Csi(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2016) Acar, Yusuf; Dogan, Hakan; Basar, Ertugrul; Panayırcı, ErdalA combination of space-time block coding and spatial modulation (STBC-SM) has been recently proposed for multiple input-multiple output systems to obtain both spatial diversity gain and more capacity simultaneously while assuming the perfect channel state information (P-CSI) was available at the receiver. However in practical scenarios the CSI is unknown to the receiver and should be estimated in order to detect the transmitted data in a reliable way. Therefore channel estimation (CE) is a major challenge in designing the STBC-SM systems. In this study the problem of CE is investigated and a new pilot-aided channel estimation (PA-CE) technique coupled with an interpolation is proposed for the STBC-SM systems operating in the presence of rapidly time-varying mobile channels. Several interpolation schemes such as the linear nearest neighbour piecewise cubic Hermite and the low-pass interpolations are applied and their performances are compared to determine the best suitable interpolation technique to be employed in STBC-SM systems. Bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed CE technique is then investigated in time-varying channels with different modulation. Moreover the pairwise error probability of the STBC-SM scheme is derived and its average bit error probability is evaluated analytically in the presence of CE errors.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3High-pass/Low-pass Section Design for 0 Degrees-360 Degrees Lumped-Element Phase Shifters Via the Real Frequency Technique(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2017) Şengül, Metin Y.In this paper an algorithm based on the real frequency technique (RFT) is proposed to design high-pass and low-pass sections of a 0 degrees-360 degrees wide range lumped-element phase shifter. The switching process however is not considered in this work. In the algorithm it is enough to define the section type (high-pass or low-pass) and the number of elements in the sections there is no need to select the exact circuit topologies for the high-pass and low-pass sections. This is a natural consequence of the proposed approach. Unlike in the methods described in the literature there is also no need to derive element value expressions. Two examples are given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm and results are verified by simulation.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 7Fault Tolerant Control With Re-Configuring Sliding-Mode Schemes(2005) Demirci, Ufuk; Kerestecioğlu, FezaIn this paper a controller design method for linear MIMO systems is presented which a sliding mode controller is reconfigured in case of system faults. Faults are detected with the residual vector generated from a standard linear observer. Once a fault has been detected the fault distribution matrix can be obtained and used to update the corrective or equivalent control parts of the sliding mode controller. As a result fault tolerant adaptive controllers keep the system performance within acceptable limits or at least avoids the system to wind-up. © TÜBITAK.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6A Low-Complexity Time-Domain Mmse Channel Estimator for Space-time/Frequency Block-Coded Ofdm Systems(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, ErdalFocusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency-selective channels this paper pursues a channel estimation approach in time domain for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems based on AR channel modelling. The paper proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) time-domain channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems with transmitter diversity in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the channel impulse responses based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and finds MMSE estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MMSE estimator. Subsequently optimal rank reduction is applied to obtain significant taps resulting in a smaller computational load on the proposed estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through the analytical results and computer simulations. In order to explore the performance the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is derived for the maximum ratio receive combiner (MRRC). We then consider the stochastic Cramer-Rao lower bound(CRLB) and derive the closed-form expression for the random KL coefficients and consequently exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also analyze the effect of a modelling mismatch on the estimator performance. Simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithms are capable of tracking fast fading and improving overall performance.

In the model a 2-port short-or open-terminated LC ladder is used. After applying the proposed algorithm a realizable driving-point reactance function that fits the given data is obtained. Next this function is synthesized resulting in the desired model. In the algorithm there is no need to select a circuit topology for the model. Two examples are given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed modeling algorithm.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5An Efficient Joint Channel Estimation and Decoding Algorithm for Turbo-Coded Space-Time Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Receivers(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2008) Doğan, Hakan; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, ErdalThe challenging problem in the design of digital receivers of today's and future high-speed high data-rate wireless communication systems is to implement the optimal decoding and channel estimation processes jointly in a computationally feasible way. Without realising such a critical function perfectly at receiver the whole system will not work properly within the desired performance limits. Unfortunately direct implementation of such optimal algorithms is not possible mainly due to their mathematically intractable and computationally prohibitive nature. A novel algorithm that reaches the performance of the optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm with a feasible computational complexity is proposed. The algorithm makes use of a powerful statistical signal processing tool called the expectation-maximisation (EM) technique. It iteratively executes the MAP joint channel estimation and decoding for space-time block-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems with turbo channel coding in the presence of unknown wireless dispersive channels. The main novelty of the work comes from the facts that the proposed algorithm estimates the channel in a non-data-aided fashion and therefore except a small number of pilot symbols required for initialisation no training sequence is necessary. Also the approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and finds MAP estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MAP estimator. Moreover optimal rank reduction is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the iterative estimation approach.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Busy Tone Based Coexistence Algorithm for Wran and Wlan Systems in Tv White Space(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2018) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat; Baykaş, TunçerTV White Space (TVWS) refers to frequency band reserved only for licensed terrestrial TV broadcasting and is opened to unlicensed use under regulatory conditions. While regulations protect licensed systems from interference interference among unlicensed systems is left mainly to manufacturers. Consequently there is a need to develop new coexistence approaches between TVWS networks. Busy tone broadcasting is a coexistence method which can be used by TVWS networks to announce the selected frequency band is occupied. In this paper a busy tone based coexistence algorithm is proposed for IEEE 802.11af and IEEE 802.22 networks and analyzed by considering different client distributions experiencing log-normal shadowing where the exact interfering packet rate and successful packet transmission rate expressions are obtained and validated by simulations for different scenarios. The results show that with the proposed coexistence approach a WLAN can reliably detect the busy tone signal to change its frequency band and can reduce interference to WRAN. Even if there is no available frequency band for the WLAN the WRAN still maintains its enhanced successful packet transmission performance. The deployment of the proposed algorithm is important for successful coexistence between cognitive wireless networks where interference is not regulated such as in TVWS bands.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Practical Implementation of the Combinational Cooperative Detection Method(Springer, 2015) Çatak, Evren; Erküçük, SerhatIn conventional cooperative detection a fusion center decides on the presence or the absence of a primary user (PU) by gathering all the information from secondary users (SUs) and conveys this decision to all users. This approach does not take into account the locations of the SUs where a user far from the PU may also have to keep silent. An alternative method referred to as the combinational cooperative detection method in this study was recently proposed to solve this problem. This method is based on combining received signals from more than two users obtaining decision tables and deciding individually for each user. While the proposed method showed promising results for the SUs there were unclear issues regarding the practical implementation of this method. Motivated by this we address these issues from a realistic implementation point of view in this paper. Accordingly (i) the effects of location and distribution of the SUs on the detection performance are studied in terms of system parameters
