Interference is a major problem for reliable multiuser communications. There are several ways to manage interference which are applied according to the power of interference compared to the power of desired signal. If interference is powerful than the desired signal then interference signal is decoded. Otherwise if it is much weaker than the desired signal it may be considered as noise. If signal powers of the desired signal and the interference are comparable then orthogonalizing all the signals from all the users can be a solution. By orthogonalizing user signals, capacity is shared in between users. Interference alignment is a relatively new technique used for interference cancellation in multiuser networks. It is based on aligning unwanted signals and desired signals into distinct and orthogonal subspaces. Theoretically, in a K user interference channel, every user can use half of the sum capacity by applying interference alignment. In this work, we consider interference alignment on multi group multi way relaying channels. Each node in each group is interested in the data streams transmitted by other nodes in the same group. Data streams of the other groups are considered as interference. We develop an interference alignment solution for this scenario, by aligning M nodes in each group into the same subspace at the relay. Therefore the number of antennas needed at the relay are reduced by an order of M. The price paid for this is the increase in the number of time slots needed for the communication between nodes.

Discrete Relay Beamforming for Broadcasting with Relay Selection Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-05-19) In this paper, broadcast beamforming problem is considered in relay-assisted wireless networks. Two-phase relay communication is adopted. In the first phase, a source transmits common information to multiple relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. Each relay multiplies its received signal by a complex weight and transmits it to the receivers. The amplitudes and phases of complex relay weights are chosen from discrete sets in order to decrease overhead for the feedback channel. Relay selection i...
Multicell resource allocation for multicarrier networks with multiuser decoding receivers Yazarel, Yakup Kadri; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In recent years, techniques for exploiting interference on the receiver side to improve the performance of future cellular networks have been of interest. These studies assume multiuser decoding capability of receivers, i.e. the receivers are able to decode the interference signal as well as the intended signal. Additionally, due to the dominance of data in network traffic, user rate demands are becoming crucial for resource allocation of cells in the network. In this thesis, we propose an efficient transmi...
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...
Wireless sensor networks for security: Issues and challenges Onel, T; Onur, Ertan; Ersoy, C; Delic, H (2006-01-01) In this chapter, the sensing coverage area of surveillance wireless sensor networks is considered. The sensing coverage is determined by applying Neyman-Pearson detection and defining the breach probability on a grid-modeled field. Using a graph model for the perimeter, Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm is used to find the weakest breach path. The breach probability is linked to parameters such as the false alarm rate, size of the data record and the signal-to-noise ratio. Consequently, the required number...
Interference Suppression in Radio Receivers by using Frequency Retranslation Nesimoglu, T.; Charalampopoulos, Z.; Beach, M. A. (2009-04-21) In the presence of a strong received signal, non-linear radio frequency (RF) front-end components generate distortion products that add interference to a wanted signal. In this paper, an interference suppression technique using frequency retranslation is presented. When the wanted signal level is high, experimental results show a suppression of intermodulation distortion (IMD) by 25 dB. When a small wanted signal is received along with high level interferers, the technique suppresses interferers by 14 dB an...
