    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.

    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.

    Channel Estimation for TDS-OFDM Systems in Rapidly Time-Varying Mobile Channels
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Basaran,M.; Şenol,H.; Erküçük,S.; Çirpan,H.A.
    This paper explores the performance of time-domain synchronous orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) systems operated under rapidly time-varying mobile channels. Since a rapidly time-varying channel contains more unknown channel coefficients than the number of observations, the mobile channel can conveniently be modeled with the discrete Legendre polynomial basis expansion model to reduce the number of unknowns. The linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) estimate can be exploited for channel estimation on inter-block-interference-free received signal samples owing to transmitting pseudo-noise (PN) sequences. In conventional TDS-OFDM systems, the channel estimation performance is limited due to estimating channel responses only from the beginning part of the channel. Therefore, a new system model named "partitioned TDS-OFDM system" is proposed to improve the system performance by inserting multiple PN sequences to the middle and end parts of the channel as well. In addition to providing the reconstruction error performance, Bayesian Cramer-Rao lower bound is derived analytically. Also, the LMMSE-based symbol detection is employed. To alleviate the negative effects of inter-carrier-interference (ICI) occuring in mobile channels, ICI cancellation is applied to enhance the detection performance. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed TDS-OFDM system is superior to the conventional system and its corresponding performance is able to approach the achievable lower performance bound. © 2018 IEEE.

    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.

    Effects Of Channel Models And Optional Data Rates On The Ieee 802.15.4a System Performance [kanal Modellerinin ve Seçime Bağli Veri Hızlarının Ieee 802.15.4a Sistem Başarımına Etkileri]
    (2010) Findikli, Çağlar; Erküçük, Serhat
    The wireless personal area network standard IEEE 802.15.4a uses ultra wideband impulse radios (UWB-IRs) for precise ranging and location and as well as for communications at low data rates (about 1 Mb/s). In addition to low data rates there are optional data rates defined in the standard that can support up to 27 Mb/s. In this paper the IEEE 802.15.4a system performance is studied for optional data rates in addition to considering the effect of channel models at the mandatory data rate. For the considered channel models system performances are evaluated for different numbers of Rake fingers and the error correction capability of channel encoding is tested at various data rates. The results of this study are important for the implementation of the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. ©2010 IEEE.

    Noncoherent Ultra Wideband Wireless Sensor Networks for Primary User Detection
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2016) Sabucu, Yağmur; Erküçük, Serhat
    As a result of increasing demand for new technologies unlicensed usage of available spectrum has become very essential to provide an efficient usage of spectrum. For that reason sensor networks may be a reliable option to decide on the absence/presence of licensed users and to communicate without causing much interference as a secondary user network. These networks consist of two communication links for primary user detection. One link is between the primary user and the sensors and the other link is between the sensors and the fusion center. In this study we consider an IEEE 802.15.4a based ultra wideband (UWB) network with a noncoherent receiver structure for the first link. For the second link binary pulse position modulation is implemented to convey primary user information to the fusion center. Numerical expressions for probabilities of false alarm and detection for the overall system are obtained and validated by simulations where the performance of the system improves with number of sensors and the reliability of the first link. The results obtained from this study can be used for improving the primary user detection performance of UWB based wireless sensor networks in noncoherent operation mode. © 2016 IEEE.

    Linear Combination of Pulses for Coexistence in the Ieee 802.15.4a Standard
    (IEEE, 2009) Erküçük, Serhat; Kaleli, Burç Arslan
    The low data rate accurate location ranging Wireless Personal Area Network zWPAN standard IEEE which is based on ultra wideband zUWBg impulse radios suggests using linear combination of pulses to reduce interference to coexisting primary systems. In this paper we consider possible implementations of linear combination of pulses as suggested in the standard and study the generated notches in the resulting code spectrum. Using the zy transform approach we show that the number of these notches is limited and the notch locations are not flexible due to the limited number of pulses allowed by the standard. We also make some suggestions for increasing the number of notches at desired frequencies.

    Energy Efficient Scma Supported Downlink Cloud-Rans for 5g Networks
    (IEEE, 2020) Ferdouse, Lilatul; Erküçük, Serhat; Anpalagan, Alagan; Woungang, Isaac
    Cloud-radio access networks (C-RANs) are regarded as a promising solution to provide low cost services among users through the centralized coordination of baseband units for 5G wireless networks. The coordinated multi-point access, visualization and cloud computing technologies enable C-RANs to provide higher capacity and wider coverage, as well as manage the interference and mobility in a centralized coordinated way. However, C-RANs face many challenges due to massive connectivity and spectrum scarcity. If not properly handled, these challenges may degrade the overall performance. Recently, the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme has been suggested as an attractive solution to support multi-user resource sharing in order to improve the spectrum and energy efficiency in 5G wireless networks. In this paper, among various NOMA schemes, we consider and implement the sparse code multiple access (SCMA) scheme to jointly optimize the codebook (CB) and power allocation in the downlink of C-RANs, where the utilization of SCMA in C-RANs to improve the energy efficiency has not been investigated in detail in the literature. To solve this NP-hard joint optimization problem, we decompose the original problem into two sub-problems: codebook allocation and power allocation. Using the conflict graph, we propose the throughput aware SCMA CB selection (TASCBS) method, which generates a stable codebook allocation solution within a finite number of steps. For the power allocation solution, we propose the iterative level-based power allocation (ILPA) method, which incorporates different power allocation approaches (e.g., weighted and NOMA successive interference cancellation (SIC)) into different levels to satisfy the maximum power requirement. Simulation results show that the sum data rate and energy efficiency performances of SCMA supported C-RANs depend on the selected power allocation approach. In terms of energy efficiency, the performance significantly improves with the number of users when the NOMA-SIC aware geometric water-filling based power allocation method is used.

    Rapidly Varying Sparse Channel Tracking With Hybrid Kalman-Omp Algorithm
    (Springer, 2019) Büyükşar, Ayşe Betül; Şenol, Habib; Erküçük, Serhat; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
    It is expected from future communication standards that channel estimation algorithms should be able to operate over very fast varying frequency selective channel models. Therefore in this study autoregressive (AR) modeled fast varying channel has been considered and tracked with Kalman filter over one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Channel sparsity is exploited which decreases the complexity requirements of the Kalman algorithm. Since Kalman filter is not directly applicable to sparse channels orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm is modified for AR modeled sparse signal estimation. Also by using windows sparsity detection errors have been decreased. The simulation results showed that sparse fast varying channel can be tracked with the proposed hybrid Kalman-OMP algorithm and windowing method offers improved MSE results.
