Large path losses of millimeter waves restrain the acceptance of 60 GHz technology in future networks. Directional antennas can be exploited in 60 GHz networks to mitigate the detrimental impact of fading. Employing fully directional antennas complicates the neighbor discovery process where each sector must be probed individually to discover neighbors located in that sector. In random scanning strategy, nodes select to-be-scanned sector randomly. In this letter, we analyze the minimum number of random sector scanning attempts during neighbor discovery process to have a non-isolated network. We present an analytical model to study the isolation probability defined as probability of having at least one isolated node in the network. Based on the isolation probability, we derive the minimum number of sector scanning attempts in a 60 GHz ad hoc network with arbitrary number of nodes. Although 60 GHz directional network is studied, this analysis is applicable to any directional wireless network.

An Investigation of Link Quality Assessment for Mobile Multi-hop and Multi-rate Wireless Networks Zhou, Jinglong; Jacobsson, Martin; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-07-01) Wireless ad hoc networks will be an important component in future communication systems. The performance of wireless ad hoc networks can be improved by link quality-aware applications. Wireless link quality is dynamic in nature, especially in mobile scenarios. Therefore, accurate and fast packet delivery ratio estimation is a prerequisite to good performance in mobile, multi-hop and multi-rate wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a novel packet delivery ratio estimation method that improves t...
Duty cycle control in wireless sensor networks Yılmaz, Mine; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Recent advances in wireless communication and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have led to the development of implementation of low-cost, low power, multifunctional sensor nodes. These sensor node are small in size and communicate untethered in short distances. The nodes in sensor networks have limited battery power and it is not feasible or possible to recharge or replace the batteries, therefore power consumption should be minimized so that overall network lifetime will be increased. In order to mi...
Zero state doped turbo equalizer Gazi, Orhan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-02-01) Although iterative equalizers perform well at low signal to noise ratios, high latency is a major disadvantage for their use in practical communication systems. In this article we propose zero state doped turbo equalizers (ZSDTEs) which can be processed in parallel and have significantly reduced processing delays. The proposed technique shows better performance when compared to the sliding window method.
Analysis of target detection probability in randomly deployed sensor networks Onur, Ertan; Delic, Hakan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-10-01) The main functionality of a surveillance wireless sensor network is to detect unauthorized traversals in a field. In this paper, we develop a formulation to determine the probability of detecting a randomly positioned target by a set of binary sensors to serve as the deployment quality measure. This formulation leads to a recipe to determine the number of sensors required to deliver a certain deployment quality level. The sensing- and communication-neighbor degrees which can be used as design criteria in a ...
Fully digital parallel operated switch-mode power supply modules for telecommunications Kutluay, Koray; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) Digitally-controlled, high power universal telecommunication power supply modules have been developed. In this work, the converter control strategy, and its design and implementation first, by means of parallel-operated, dual, 8-bit microcontrollers, and then by using a high processing power digital signal processor (DSP) have been emphasized. The proposed dual-processor based digital controller provides an extended operating output voltage range of the power supplies, user programmable current limit settin...
