    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.

    Joint Communication and Computing Resource Allocation in 5g Cloud Radio Access Networks
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019) Ferdouse, Lilatul; Anpalagan, Alagan; Erküçük, Serhat
    Cloud-radio access network (C-RAN) is regarded as a promising solution to manage heterogeneity and scalability of future wireless networks. The centralized cooperative resource allocation and interference cancellation methods in C-RAN significantly reduce the interference levels to provide high data rates. However, the centralized solution is not scalable due to the dense deployment of small cells with fractional frequency reuse, causing severe inter-tier and inter-cell interference turning the resource allocation and user association into a more challenging problem. In this paper, we investigate joint communication and computing resource allocation along with user association, and baseband unit (BBU) and remote radio head (RRH) mapping in C-RANs. We initially establish a queueing model in C-RAN, followed by formulation of two optimization problems for communication [e.g., resource blocks (RBs) and power] and computing [e.g., virtual machines (VMs)] resources allocation with the aim to minimize mean response time. User association along with the RB allocation, interference, and queueing stability constraints are considered in the communication resource optimization problem. The computing resource optimization problem considers BBU-RRH mapping and VM allocation for small cells, constrained to BBU server capacity and queueing stability. To solve the communication and computing resource optimization problem, we propose a joint resource allocation solution that considers a double-sided auction based distributed resource allocation (DS-ADRA) method, where small cell base stations and users jointly participate using the concept of auction theory. The proposed method is evaluated via simulations by considering the effect of bandwidth utilization percentage, signal-to-interference ratio threshold value and the number of users. The results show that the proposed method can be successfully implemented for 5G C-RANs.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Effect of Inter-Block Region on Compressed Sensing Based Channel Estimation in Tds-Ofdm Systems
    (IEEE, 2016) Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Şenol, Habib; Cirpan, Hakan Ali
    Time domain synchronous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) is the basis technology for digital television standard (DTV) employed in some countries thanks to its high spectral efficiency when compared to traditional cyclic prefix OFDM. Moreover it does not require pilot usage in frequency domain channel estimation. Instead of data usage as cyclic prefix pseudo-noise (PN) sequences are transmitted in guard intervals. Due to interference from the previous OFDM data symbol the received signal in guard interval can be decomposed into a small-sized signal that contains only PN sequences utilizing the inter-block-interference (IBI)-free region in the convolution matrix. Due to sparsity multipath fading channel can be obtained by the application of compressed sensing (CS) technique to reconstruct the high-dimensional sparse channel from the decreased-size of received signal through the known PN sequence matrix. In this study the effect of the size of IBI-free region on CS and Bayesian CS (BCS) based channel estimation is investigated. Accordingly reconstruction error performances of basis pursuit (BP) and BCS are compared. Simulation results show that the channel estimation can be improved by trading-off the length of the IBI-free region. However an increase in IBI-free region leads to decreased energy efficiency at both the transmitter and receiver side.

    Comparison of Compressed Sensing Based Algorithms for Sparse Signal Reconstruction
    (IEEE, 2016) Çelik, Safa; Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
    Compressed sensing theory shows that any signal which is defined as sparse in a given domain can be reconstructed using fewer linear projections instead of using all Nyquist-rate samples. In this paper we investigate basis pursuit matching pursuit orthogonal matching pursuit and compressive sampling matching pursuit algorithms which are basic compressed sensing based algorithms and present performance curves in terms of mean squared error for various parameters including signal-tonoise ratio sparsity and number of measurements with regard to mean squared error. In addition accuracy of estimation performances has been supported with theoretical lower bounds (Cramer-Rao lower bound and deterministic lower mean squared error). Considering estimation performances compressive sampling matching pursuit yields the best results unless the signal has a non-sparse structure.

    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.
