This thesis considers the real-time implementation phases of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The parts which are related to the implementation detail the blocks realized on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board and define the connections between these blocks and typical radio frequency front-end modules assisting the wireless communication. Two sides of the implemented communication testbed are discussed separately as the transmitter and the receiver parts. In addition to usual building blocks of the transmitter and the receiver blocks, a special type of iterative parallelized decoding architecture has also been implemented on the testbed to demonstrate its potential in low-latency communication systems. In addition to practical aspects, this thesis also presents theoretical findings for an improved version of the built system using analytical tools and simulation results for possible extensions to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

Reliable real-time video communication in wireless sensor networks Ayran, Orhan; Akan, Özgür Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications require efficient multimedia communication capabilities. However, the existing communication protocols in the literature mainly aim to achieve energy efficiency and reliability objectives and do not address the multimedia communication challenges in WSN. In this thesis, comprehensive performance evaluation of the existing transport protocols is performed and it has been shown that the existing proposals achieve very poor performance in terms of large set of me...
A new stack architecture for sensor networks Eroğlu, Muammer; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, a new stack architecture for sensor networks is proposed. The stack consists of the following layers: application, query, aggregation, network, MAC and physical. Various algorithms are implemented using this stack and it is shown that this stack is modular. Following an overview of sensor networks, the previous protocol stack suggestions for sensor networks are examined. Sensor network algorithms that can be classified as sensor data management systems are surveyed and compared with each oth...
Scheduling algorithms for wireless cdma networks Hakyemez, Serkan Ender; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In recent years the need for multimedia packet data services in wireless networks has grown rapidly. To overcome that need third generation (3G) mobile services have been proposed. The fast growing demands multimedia services in 3G services brought the need for higher capacity. As a result of this, the improvement on throughput, traffic serving performance has become necessary in 3G systems. Code division multiple access (CDMA) technique is one of the most important 3G wireless mobile techniques that has be...
Improvement of radar detection by doppler pattern matching Çelebi, Duygu; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, improvement of Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CA CFAR) radar processors is studied. A new improvement method is proposed that will reduce probability of false alarm while keeping probability of detection at good values. This method makes use of Doppler spreading patterns that appear after Doppler processing. Therefore this method is called Doppler Pattern Matching (DPM). Performance of the algorithm has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. In order to evaluate the perform...
Implementation of a DF algorithm on an FPGA platform İpek, Abdullah Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis work, the implementations of the monopulse amplitude comparison and phase comparison DF algorithms are performed on an FPGA platform. After the mathematical formulation of the algorithms using maximum-likelihood approach is done, software simulations are carried out to validate and find the DF accuracies of the algorithms under various conditions. Then the algorithms are implemented on an FPGA platform by utilizing platform specific software tools. Block diagrams of the hardware implementatio...
