Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Ieee 802.15.4a Based Ultra Wideband Systems for Coexistence With Primary Users(IEEE, 2015) Fındıklı, Çağlar; Erküçük, Serhat; Çelebi, Mehmet ErtuğrulPeaceful 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.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Evaluation 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, BalaIn 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.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Linear Combination of Pulses for Coexistence in the Ieee 802.15.4a Standard(IEEE, 2009) Erküçük, Serhat; Kaleli, Burç ArslanThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Energy Efficient Scma Supported Downlink Cloud-Rans for 5g Networks(IEEE, 2020) Ferdouse, Lilatul; Erküçük, Serhat; Anpalagan, Alagan; Woungang, IsaacCloud-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.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Effect of Inter-Block Region on Compressed Sensing Based Channel Estimation in Tds-Ofdm Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Başaran, Mehmet; Erküçük, Serhat; Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan AliTime 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Performance Investigation of Ieee 802.11af Systems Under Realistic Channel Conditions(IEEE, 2015) Macit, Mustafa Can; Şenol, Habib; Erküçük, SerhatAs 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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Detection of Interdependent Primary Systems Using Wideband Cognitive Radios(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2013) Yılmaz, Burak; Erküçük, SerhatCognitive 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.

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.Master Thesis Coexistence of Cognitive Radio Based Networks in Tv White Space(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Karatalay, Onur; Erküçük, SerhatDue 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Noma-Based Radio Resource Allocation for Machine Type Communications in 5g and Beyond Cellular Networks(IEEE, 2021) Aldemir, Sumeyra; Sadi, Yalcin; Erkucuk, Serhat; Okumus, F. BatuhanIn 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.
