Comparison of New Multi-carrier Modulation Schemes under Amplifier Nonlinearity

2016-05-19
OFDM is an essential part of the physical layer structure in 4G communication systems. Despite having many advantages compared to other modulation types, OFDM has the significant drawback of causing high out-of-band emissions (OOBE). This resulted in the consideration of alternative modulation schemes for the future communication standards. In this work, two of those alternatives, namely GFDM and WCP-COQAM are compared with OFDM under the efTects of digital-to- analog converter (DAC) and power-amplifier (PA) non-Iinearity taking into account the spectral mask requirements in the LTE standard. The performance metrics used in the comparisons are the error-vector magnitude (EVM), signal-to-intereference ratio (SIR) and average powers of the transmitted signals using the 3 modulation schemes. The results turned out to be such that there is no significant difference between the 3 modulation types in terms of the performance metrics taken into consideration.

Investigation of energy efficient traffic adaptive mac layer protocols for multi-hop ad-hoc networks
Senem, Murat; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Multi Hop Ad-Hoc Networks typically refer to interconnected sensing devices with limited processing, communication, and power capabilities. Self-organization, reliability, and energy efficiency are important issues in these networks. Energy efficient, traffic adaptive, multi-channel, and schedule based MAC Layer protocols have been studied for ad-hoc networks in this thesis. Medium sharing problem is one of the most important topic for multi hop ad-hoc networks, especially under intensive data traffic. In r...
Performance Analysis of Beamforming Techniques in MU-MIMO Systems with Residual RF Impairments
Tamer, Ufuk; SUNU, CANSU; AKTAŞ, EMRE; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2015-05-19)
Multiple-input multiple-output wireless communication systems substantially suffer from RF Impairments in the course of the physical implementation of transceivers. In this paper, we study the performance of beamforming techniques in MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) system with one transmitter and two receivers. We showed that the interference cancellation beamforming is suitable in the proposed scenario. In addition, we study the performance of MU-MIMO system with the suitable beamforming technique by taking RF i...
Diversity Analysis of Hierarchical Modulation in Wireless Relay Networks
Yalcyn, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2014-07-01)
In communication systems, hierarchical modulation is used to increase system robustness and to send different information flows simultaneously. However, when used in cooperative communication systems, hierarchical modulation is prone to error propagation, which is the most important problem that prevents the achievement of full diversity gains. Depending on the signal-to-noise ratio between the source and the relay, threshold digital relaying can be used to mitigate error propagation. Mitigating error propa...
Diversity Analysis of Hierarchical Modulation in Cooperative Communication
Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2014-01-01)
In cooperative communication systems, hierarchical modulation is used to increase systems robustness and to send different information flows simultaneously. In cooperative communication systems which use hierarchical modulation, error propagation is the most important problem that prevents achieving full diversity gain. Thresholds that depend on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value between the source and the relay can be used to mitigate error propagation. If the instantaneous SNR between the source and th...
Immune system-based energy efficient and reliable communication in wireless sensor networks
Atakan, Baris; Akan, Oezguer B. (2006-12-01)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of densely deployed sensor nodes. Due to the dense deployment, since sensor observations are spatially correlated with respect to location of sensor nodes, it may not be necessary for every sensor node to transmit its data. Therefore, due to the resource constraints of sensor nodes, it is imperative to select the minimum number of sensor nodes to transmit the data to the sink. Furthermore, to achieve the application-s...
