Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) is one of the 3G wireless communication standards, which provides higher data rates by adopting 8-PSK modulation in TDMA system infrastructure of GSM. In this thesis, a turbo detection receiver for Enhanced General Packet Radio Services (EGPRS) system, which is the packet switching mode of EDGE, is studied. In turbo detection, equalization and channel decoding are performed iteratively. Due to 8-ary alphabet of EGPRS modulation, full state trellis based equalization, as usually performed in GSM, is too complex not only for turbo detection but even for conventional equalization; so suboptimum schemes have to be considered. The Delayed Decision Feedback Sequence Estimation (DDFSE) is chosen as suboptimal and less complex trellis based scheme and it is examined as a conventional equalization technique firstly. It is shown that the DDFSE has a fine tradeoff between performance and complexity and can be a promising candidate for EGPRS. Then it is employed to reduce the number of the trellis state in turbo detection. Max-log-MAP algorithm is used for soft output calculations of both SISO equalizer and SISO decoder. Simulation results illustrate that proposed turbo detection structure improves bit error rate and block error rate performance of the receiver with respect to the conventional equalization and decoding scheme. The iteration gain varies depending on modulation type and coding rate of Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) employed in EGPRS.

A Theoretical Performance Bound for Joint Beamformer Design of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in Downlink C-RAN
Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2021-01-01)
It is known that data rates in standard cellular networks are limited due to inter-cell interference. An effective solution to this problem is to use the multi-cell cooperation idea. In Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), which is a candidate solution in 5G and future communication networks, cooperation is applied by means of central processors (CPs) connected to simple remote radio heads with finite capacity fronthaul links. In this study, we consider a downlink C-RAN with a wireless fronthaul and aim to m...
Analysis and design of dual-polarized wideband patch antennas electromagnetically excited with elevated wide strips /
Yılmaz, Adil Fırat; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In communication systems like WiMAX, WLAN, 3G, 4G and LTE, design of wideband and dual polarized antennas are required. It is known that bandwidth of patch antennas can be broaden by using thick air substrates. The bandwidth can be further improved by using three dimensional feed strucutures that are electromagnetically coupled to the patch. In this thesis, microstrip patch antennas that are excited by elevated wide strips are studied. First, a linearly polarized antenna is considered and the effects of ant...
A bidirectional LMS algorithmfor estimation of fast time-varying channels
Yapıcı, Yavuz; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Effort to estimate unknown time-varying channels as a part of high-speed mobile communication systems is of interest especially for next-generation wireless systems. The high computational complexity of the optimal Wiener estimator usually makes its use impractical in fast time-varying channels. As a powerful candidate, the adaptive least mean squares (LMS) algorithm offers a computationally efficient solution with its simple first-order weight-vector update equation. However, the performance of the LMS alg...
A novel user activity prediction model for context aware computing systems
Peker, Serhat; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011)
In the last decade, with the extensive use of mobile electronic and wireless communication devices, there is a growing need for context aware applications and many pervasive computing applications have become integral parts of our daily lives. Context aware recommender systems are one of the popular ones in this area. Such systems surround the users and integrate with the environment; hence, they are aware of the users' context and use that information to deliver personalized recommendations about everyday ...
A Novel Transceiver Architecture for Highly Dispersive NOMA Channels
Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-06-06)
When the requirements of internet of things (IoT) and machine-type communication (MTC) are considered, the 5G technology needs to support high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity of users/devices, and the demand for low latency, short packet duration, low power, high mobility and diverse service types. In this paper, first a new multiple access technique belonging to the class of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based on multi-code signaling (MCS) is proposed for the uplink data transmission m...
