    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.

    Performance of Ieee 802.15.4a Systems in the Presence of Narrowband Interference
    (IEEE, 2011) Fındıklı, Çağlar; Erküçük, Serhat; Çelebi, Mehmet Ertuğrul
    The regulatory agencies in Europe and Japan require the implementation of avoidance techniques in some bands to reduce interference to licensed systems. Accordingly ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) based Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standard IEEE 802.15.4a has suggested using linear combination of pulses to reduce interference to coexisting primary systems. In this paper we consider the implementation of linear combination of pulses for a peaceful coexistence and assess the UWB-IR system performance in the presence of an active narrowband system. For that we study the possible transmitter and receiver structures that can be adapted for the physical layer of the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. The study shows that while the bit-error rate (BER) performances of coherent and noncoherent receiving structures may be slightly degraded with the use of linear combination of pulses when there is no active primary system the performances can be significantly improved with appropriate filtering techniques at the receiver when the primary system is active.

    Busy Tone Based Coexistence Algorithm for Wran and Wlan Systems in Tv White Space
    (Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2018) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, Serhat; Baykaş, Tunçer
    TV 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.

    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 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.

    Busy Tone Based Power Control for Coordination of Iffy 802.11af and 802.22 System
    (IEEE, 2017) Ülgen, Oğuz; Erküçük, Serhat; Karatalay, Onur; Baykas, Tuncer
    In this paper, a new power control algorithm based on busy tone approach has been proposed for the coordination of IEEE 802.22 and IEEE 802.11af systems in TV white space. Different from the earlier studies, in addition to both 802.11af access point and clients listening to the busy tone, they also adjust their communication power according to the location information and use hopping for communication, if needed Acccordingly, interference caused to 802.22 systems has been reduced while the 802.11af systems are still able to communicate. This study quantifies the 802.11af and 802.22 system performances in terms of interfering packet rate and succesful packet transmission rate for different scenarios considering the communication parameters and channel models adapted for the standards.

    Flexible Physical Layer Based Resource Allocation for Machine Type Communications Towards 6g
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Şadi, Yalçın; Erküçük, Serhat; Panayırcı, Erdal
    The exponential growth of Internet of Things applications necessitates the design of next generation cellular systems to provide native support for machine type communications (MTC). While 5G aims at providing this native support under domain of massive MTC (mMTC) as one of the three major domains it focuses; i.e., enhanced mobile broadband, ultra reliable low latency communication, and mMTC, the enabling technologies and communication architectures are still limited and incomplete considering the nearly standardized efforts under 3GPP Releases 15 and 16. Studies towards 6G should elaborate on enabling truly massive MTC flexibly to support fast growing machine-to-machine (M2M) services with massive number of devices and very diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we study radio resource allocation for mMTC based on the envisioned flexible physical layer architecture for 5G and beyond, possibly including 6G. We first present an overview of the 5G New Radio physical layer aspects particularly focusing on multiple numerologies and discuss the 3GPP features in Releases 15-17 as possible enablers of a flexible radio resource allocation scheme. Then, we propose a polynomial-time persistent resource allocation scheme for M2M communications aiming at meeting diverse QoS requirements of the M2M applications while achieving spectral efficiency. Finally, we present some numerical results and discuss future research directions for access schemes to enable truly massive MTC.

    The Effect of Channel Models on Compressed Sensing Based Uwb Channel Estimation
    (IEEE, 2011) Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) multipath channels are assumed to have a sparse structure as the received consecutive pulses arrive with a considerable time delay and can be resolved individually at the receiver. Due to this sparse structure there has been a significant amount of interest in applying the compressive sensing (CS) theory to UWB channel estimation. There are various implementations of the CS theory for the UWB channel estimation based on the assumption that the UWB channels are sparse. However the sparsity of a UWB channel mainly depends on the channel environment. Motivated by this in this study we investigate the effect of UWB channel environments on the CS based UWB channel estimation. Particularly we consider the standardized IEEE 802.15.4a UWB channel models and study the channel estimation performance from a practical implementation point of view. The study shows that while UWB channel models for residential environments (e. g. CM1 and CM2) exhibit a sparse structure yielding a reasonable channel estimation performance channel models for industrial environments (e. g. CM8) may not be treated as having a sparse structure due to multipaths arriving densely. The results of this study are important as it determines the suitability of different channel models to be used with the CS theory.
