Deniz, Umay Ezgi
The joint precoder/ decoder design in the multiuser downlink multi-input-multioutput (MU-MIMO) communication problem is investigated under three different scenarios. In the first scenario, the same information denoted as common information is delivered to all users, i.e. multicasting scenario. In the second scenario, the base station (BS) transmits independent information bits (private information) to the users, i.e. the conventional communication scenario. Finally, in the third scenario, the BS concurrently delivers both common and private information to the users. The main goal of this thesis is to study precoder/ decoder design for these scenarios. The precoder/ decoder pairs are optimized according to the maximum-minimum fairness (MMF), quality of service (QoS) and minimum total mean square error (TMSE) criteria. In the MMF and QoS problem settings, the optimization problem is non-convex and accomplished by semidefinite relaxation method or another technique known as exact penalty approach. The TMSE minimization is accomplished by sequential design of optimal linear estimator (Wiener filter) at the transmitter and receiver. Simulations with respect to various system parameters such as the number of transmitter and receiver antennas, the number of users and given transmitted power are performed in order to observe the characterization of performance metrics like minimummean SNR/SINR, BER or MSE etc. Moreover, the computation times of the v algorithms are also compared in order to evaluate their applicability in practice.

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...
Design of a reduced complexity rateless spinal decoder
Taş, Murat; Diker Yücel, Melek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Wireless communication systems utilize several forward error correcting techniques to cope with changing channel conditions efficiently. One way is selecting from a list of coding/modulation schemes by considering the actual channel state. When this approach of choosing a fixed rate code is not applicable, one can use rateless codes whose rates are dynamically changing with respect to the changing channel conditions. A rateless encoder continues to send its codeword/packet to the destination unless the rece...
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...
Blind channel estimation based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm innarrowband fading channels and jamming
Dizdar, Onur; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
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 detecti...
Graph-based joint channel estimation and data detection for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems /
Tekin, Şeref Yaşar; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, a graph-based soft iterative receiver for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed that performs joint channel estimation and data detection over time-varying frequency selective channel. In an uplink scenario, factor graph structures for the transmitter of users and the receiver of base-station are presented, which provide Gaussian message passing between nodes. Instead of LLR, reliability information of symbols are used to decrease complexity of the proposed algorithm. Training ...
