The inefficiency of contemporary power amplifiers ( PAs), when operating in their linear region, is a major obstacle to mobile operation of wireless local area networks ( WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11n. Therefore the use of more efficient envelope elimination and restoration ( EER) transmitter architectures is considered. In addition to high efficiency it is also necessary to satisfy the spectral mask and achieve satisfactory link- level performance. Link- level simulations of a contemporary WLAN PA show that, at the power back- offs necessary to achieve sufficient linearity, the power added efficiency ( PAE) is only similar to 1% for a system with four transmit antennas. In contrast, simulations of a phase feedback EER PA architecture show that it is possible to achieve an average PAE of 70%, while satisfying the spectral mask, with only a small degradation in link- level performance.

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...
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 ...
Optimal number of routing paths in multi-path routing to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks İncebacak, Davut; Tavlı, Bulent; Bıcakçı, Kemal; Altın-Kayhan, Ayşegül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-30) In wireless sensor networks, multi-path routing is proposed for energy balancing which prolongs the network lifetime as compared to single-path routing where utilization of a single route between a source node and the base station results in imbalanced energy dissipation. While it is evident that increasing the number of routing paths mitigates the problem of energy over-utilization in a subset of nodes acting as relays, the net effect of the proliferation of multiple routing paths on energy balancing remai...
Minimum concave cost multicommodity network design Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-12-01) The minimum concave cost multicommodity network design problem (MCMNDP) arises in many application areas, such as transportation planning, energy distribution systems and especially in the design of both packet and circuit switching backbone networks. Exact concave cost optimization algorithms have been developed but they are applicable only if the network size is small. Therefore, MCMNDP is usually solved using non-exact iterative methods. In this paper, such heuristic techniques proposed within the contex...
A General Framework for Optimum Iterative Blockwise Equalization of Single Carrier MIMO Systems and Asymptotic Performance Analysis Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-02-01) The paper proposes a general framework for both time-domain (TD) and frequency-domain (FD) iterative blockwise equalization in single carrier (SC) wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. First, a novel turbo blockwise operating equalizer structure is proposed by jointly optimizing the feed-forward and feedback filters at each iteration based on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion. Optimization of the filter coefficients, utilized for feed-forward equalization and decision feedba...
