Signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) experienced by users is the major quality and capacity indicator of CDMA systems. In this paper, we analyze the impact of diversity combining schemes - maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and equal-gain combining (EGC) - on the SIRs achievable with diversity-reception RAKE receivers over GWSSUS time-variant fading uplink DS-CDMA channels based on finite-dimensional generalized random spreading performance evaluation methodology. Through the results of random matrix theory on the nonasymptotic eigenvalue distributions of finite-size random matrices, SIR statistics with linear RAKE multiuser receivers with MRC and EGC are derived in terms of the key system parameters. It turns out that MRC that is much complex than EGC in terms of channel estimation and computational complexity slightly outperforms EGC at low diversity orders and low channel specularity; however the performance of EGC converges to that with MRC as the diversity order D ->infinity and the channel specularity tends to 1 as well as at low SNRs.

A Theoretical Performance Bound for Joint Beamformer Design of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in Downlink C-RAN Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2021-01-01) It is known that data rates in standard cellular networks are limited due to inter-cell interference. An effective solution to this problem is to use the multi-cell cooperation idea. In Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), which is a candidate solution in 5G and future communication networks, cooperation is applied by means of central processors (CPs) connected to simple remote radio heads with finite capacity fronthaul links. In this study, we consider a downlink C-RAN with a wireless fronthaul and aim to m...
An Analytical Model for Bounded WSNs with Unreliable Cluster Heads and Links Omondi, Fredrick A.; Shah, Purav; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Ever, Enver (2015-10-29) In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), performance and availability are important in providing Quality of Service (QoS). WSNs are prone to failures that may result from software and hardware malfunctions, battery drain, tampering and link failures. In addition, sensors are resource constrained in terms of inadequate processing capacity, limited storage memory and restricted power supply. Alternating sensor operations between sleep and active modes whilst saving energy, has also introduced more challenges to th...
Analysis and design of dual-polarized wideband patch antennas electromagnetically excited with elevated wide strips / Yılmaz, Adil Fırat; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In communication systems like WiMAX, WLAN, 3G, 4G and LTE, design of wideband and dual polarized antennas are required. It is known that bandwidth of patch antennas can be broaden by using thick air substrates. The bandwidth can be further improved by using three dimensional feed strucutures that are electromagnetically coupled to the patch. In this thesis, microstrip patch antennas that are excited by elevated wide strips are studied. First, a linearly polarized antenna is considered and the effects of ant...
A turbo detection scheme for EGPRS Başköy (Gülmez), Ülkü; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) is one of the 3G wireless communication standards, which provides higher data rates by adopting 8-PSK modulation in TDMA system infrastructure of GSM. In this thesis, a turbo detection receiver for Enhanced General Packet Radio Services (EGPRS) system, which is the packet switching mode of EDGE, is studied. In turbo detection, equalization and channel decoding are performed iteratively. Due to 8-ary alphabet of EGPRS modulation, full state trellis based equali...
On the Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for Frequency Hopping Burst Mode Mobile Radio Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Tanık, Yalçın; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2010-11-03) In this paper, we evaluate the Cramer-Rao bounds (CRB) for the estimation of the carrier frequency offset (CFO) for general QAM modulations with no knowledge of the transmitted sequence (blind operation) in frequency hopping (FH) based short burst mode mobile radios. We investigate the blind CFO estimation problem in FH based mobile system that uses multiple short narrowband bursts in different frequency channels for the transmission of one packet. Joint blind channel and CFO estimation over multiple freque...
