In wireless communications, knowledge of the channel coefficients is required for coherent demodulation. In this thesis, a blind channel estimation method based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm is proposed for single-tap fading channels. The algorithm estimates the constellation points for the received signal using an iterative least squares approach. The algorithm is investigated for fast-frequency hopping systems with small block lengths and operating under partial-band and partial-time jamming for both detecting the jammer and estimating the channel. The performance of the Lloyd-Max channel estimation algorithm is compared to the performance of pilot-based channel estimation algorithms which also use the least squares approach and non-coherent demodulation and decoding.

Blind Channel Estimation Based on the Lloyd-Max Algorithm in Narrowband Fading Channels and Partial-Band Jamming Dizdar, Onur; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2012-07-01) In wireless communications, knowledge of the channel coefficients is required for coherent demodulation. In this work, a blind channel estimation method based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm is proposed for single-tap fading channels. The algorithm estimates the constellation points for the received signal using the Lloyd-Max algorithm. The algorithm is investigated for frequency hopping systems with small hop durations and operating under partial-band jamming for both detecting the jammer and estimating the cha...
SWIM : a new multicast routing algorithm for wireless networks Akyürek, Alper Sinan; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In this work, a new multicast routing algorithm for wireless networks is presented. The algorithm, called SWIM (Source-initiated WIreless Multicast), is a depth-optimal multicast tree formation algorithm. SWIM is fully distributed and has an average computational complexity of O(N 2 ). SWIM forms a shared tree from the source(s) to destinations; yet, as a by-product, it creates a multicast mesh structure by maintaining alternative paths at every tree node. This makes SWIM suitable for both ad hoc networks a...
Interference suppression capability of faster than symbol rate sampling and frequency domain oversampling Balevi, Eren; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Detection of symbols in the presence of many interference sources is a difficult task in wireless channels. It is obligatory to reduce the interference for reliable communication. In this dissertation, minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection is investigated to suppress interference. Faster Than Symbol Rate (FTSR) sampling and Frequency Domain Oversampling (FDO) methods are proposed to enhance the interference suppression level of MMSE detection for both single user and multiuser communication. The aim of...
Energy Efficient Transmission Scheduling for Channel-adaptive Wireless Energy Transfer Bacınoğlu, Baran Tan; Kaya, Onur; Uysal, Elif (2018-04-18) We consider a fading communication link where the transmitter is powered by the receiver through wireless energy transfer (WET). A typical application scenario for this is the transmitter being a simple sensor while the demand for data is created by an application running at the receiver side and pulled from the transmitter as needed. We formulate two offline transmission scheduling problems: the transmitter-centric WET transmission optimization problem, where the schedule is computed by the transmitter, an...
Path planning and localization for mobile anchor based wireless sensor networks Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In wireless sensor networks, sensors with limited resources are distributed in a wide area. Localizing the sensors is an important problem. Anchor nodes with known positions are used for sensor localization. A simple and efficient way of generating anchor nodes is to use mobile anchors which have built-in GPS units. In this thesis, a single mobile anchor is used to traverse the region of interest to communicate with the sensor nodes and identify their positions. Therefore planning the best trajectory for th...
