    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.

    Evaluation of Noise Distributions for Additive and Multiplicative Smart Meter Data Obfuscation
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2022) Khwaja, Ahmed S.; Erkucuk, Serhat; Anpalagan, Alagan; Venkatesh, Bala
    In this paper, we compare and analyze light-weight approaches for instantaneous smart meter (SM) data obfuscation from a group of consumers. In the literature, the common approach is to use additive Gaussian noise based SM data obfuscation. In order to investigate the effects of different approaches, we consider Gaussian, Rayleigh, generalized Gaussian and chi-square distributions to achieve either additive or multiplicative data obfuscation. For each type of obfuscation approach, we calculate the required parameters to achieve obfuscation such that 50% of the obfuscated data fall outside an interval equalling twice the mean of the instantaneous SM measurements. We also calculate the minimum number of SMs required to estimate the mean of the actual SM measurements, such that the estimate varies within only 0.5% of the actual mean with a 99.5% probability. Simulation results are used to verify the calculations, and it is shown that multiplicative Rayleigh and generalized Gaussian noise require the least number of SMs, which is 90% less than the traditional approach of additive Gaussian noise-based SM data obfuscation.

    Detection of Multiple Primary Systems Using Daa Uwb-Irs
    (IEEE, 2009) Erküçük, Serhat; Lampe, Lutz; Schober, Robert
    Underlay ultra wideband (UWB) systems have to be able to detect the presence of primary systems operating in the same band for detect-and-avoid (DAA) operation. In this paper the performances of joint and independent detection of multiple primary systems are investigated assuming that the primary systems are potentially dependent (e.g. frequency division duplex uplink-downlink communications). Joint detection is performed based on generating the maximum a posteriori (MAP) decision variables at the receiver where some bias terms are used with these variables in order to achieve a desired trade-off between the detection and false alarm probabilities. Independent detection is performed based on the Neyman-Pearson (NP) test which optimizes system threshold values individually in order to achieve the best detection probability for a given false alarm probability value. When the two detection schemes are compared it is shown that the gain of joint detection depends on the joint system activity values and the considered receiver operating characteristic (ROC) region where the complementary ROC curves illustrate the trade-off between missdetection and false alarm probabilities.

    Noma-Based Radio Resource Allocation for Machine Type Communications in 5g and Beyond Cellular Networks
    (IEEE, 2021) Aldemir, Sumeyra; Sadi, Yalcin; Erkucuk, Serhat; Okumus, F. Batuhan
    In this paper, the minimum bandwidth resource allocation problem for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based machine to machine (M2M) communications in 5G and beyond cellular networks is investigated. In order to solve the problem fast and efficiently, a persistent resource allocation based polynomial-time algorithm considering NOMA and the periodicity of the machine type communication traffic is proposed. The algorithm consists of two phases. In first phase, M2M clusters are divided into NOMA sub-clusters using a technique that minimizes the number of NOMA sub-clusters for a set of devices. In second phase, NOMA sub-clusters are allocated to resource blocks (RB) considering their quality of service (QoS) requirements while achieving minimum bandwidth reservation. Through simulations, the performance of the proposed algorithm is presented in comparison to the previously proposed access grant time interval (AGTI) based radio resource allocation algorithms. It is illustrated that the proposed algorithm improves the spectrum-efficiency significantly.

    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.

    Detection of Interdependent Primary Systems Using Wideband Cognitive Radios
    (Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2013) Yılmaz, Burak; Erküçük, Serhat
    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 implementation of energy detection scheme in multiple bands followed by two detection methods: (i) a maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) based detection (i.e. joint detection) that takes into account the statistics of simultaneously operating systems in independent bands and (ii) a Neyman-Pearson (NP) test based detection that optimizes the threshold values independently in each band (i.e. independent detection). For a simpler implementation of the independent detection we show that the threshold values obtained from joint detection can be used in order to achieve the optimum NP test based independent detection results. In addition to quantifying the gain of joint detection over independent detection in terms of probabilities of false alarm and detection for practical scenarios we also present the operation capability of CRs in terms of the fractions of time the CR can access the channel without interfering with the primary systems. The results are important for the practical implementation of multiband detection when the primary systems are known to be interdependent. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

    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.

    Coexistence of Cognitive Radio Based Networks in Tv White Space
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat
    Due to increasing data rates in enhancing wireless communications RF spectrum which is one of the most crucial natural sources has become more valuable. in order to utilize the limited spectrum e_ciently and solve the scarcity problem regulatory agencies granted unlicensed networks or secondary users (SUs) access to licensed bands for wireless communication with the condition that they should not cause harmful interference to primary users (SUs). Cognitive radio (CR) technology enables devices to access the spectrum opportunistically. Using CR based networks licensed bands can be utilized more e_ectively for wireless communications. TV White Space (TVWS) refers to portions of the RF spectrum that was reserved only for licensed terrestrial TV broadcasting and is opened to unlicensed use under regulatory conditions. While regulations protect licensed systems in TVWS from harmful interference interference prevention 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 that the selected frequency band is occupied. in this dissertation a busy tone based coexistence algorithm is proposed for wireless local area networks (WLANs) operating in TVWS (i.e. iEEE 802.11af based networks) where wireless regional area network (WRAN) (i.e. iEEE 802.22 based network) is assumed to be the busy tone broadcaster. The proposed algorithm is analyzed in detail considering the e_ects of log-normal shadowing client distribution around the access point and the number of clients where exact interfering packet rate and successful packet transmission rate expressions are obtained and validated by simulations for di_erent 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 regional and local area networks where interference among networks is not regulated such as in TVWS bands.

    Busy Tone Implementation for Coexistence of Ieee 802.22 and 802.11 Af Systems
    (IEEE, 2015) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat; Baykaş, Tunçer
    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 packet rate for different hearing regions considering the communication parameters and channel models adapted for the standards.

    Bayesian Compressive Sensing for Ultra-Wideband Channel Estimation: Algorithm and Performance Analysis
    (Springer, 2015) Özgör, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
    Due 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.
