Research on the low complexity adaptive power allocation algorithm in cooperative systems

End-to-end learning of a communications system using the deep learning-based autoencoder concept has drawn interest in recent research due to its simplicity, flexibility and its potential of adapting to complex channel models and practical system imperfections. In this paper, we have compared the bit error rate (BER) performance of autoencoder based systems and conventional channel coded systems with convolutional coding (CC), in order to understand the potential of deep learning-based systems as alternatives to conventional systems. From the simulations, autoencoder implementation was observed to have a better BER in 0-5 dB E <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</sub> /N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> range than its equivalent half-rate convolutional coded BPSK with hard decision decoding, and to have only less than 1 dB gap at a BER of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> . Furthermore, we have also proposed a novel low complexity autoencoder architecture to implement end-to-end learning of coded systems in which we have shown better BER performance than the baseline implementation. The newly proposed low complexity autoencoder was capable of achieving a better BER performance than half-rate 16-QAM with hard decision decoding over the full 0-10 dB E <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</sub> /N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> range and a better BER performance than the soft decision decoding in 0-4 dB E <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</sub> /N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> range.

Multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA)has been considered as a strong candidate for next generation wireless communication system due to its excellent performance in multi-path fading channel and simple receiver structure. However, like all the multi-carrier transmission technologies such as OFDM, the inter-carrier interference (ICI) produced by the frequency offset between the transmitter and receiver local oscillators or by Doppler shift due to high mobility causes significant BER (bit error rate) performance degradation in MC-CDMA system. Many ICI cancellation methods such as windowing and frequency domain coding have been proposed in the literature to cancel ICI and improve the BER performance for multi-carrier transmission technologies. However, existing ICI cancellation methods do not cancel ICI entirely and the BER performance after ICI cancellation is still much worse than the BER performance of original system without ICI. Moreover, popular ICI cancellation methods like ICI self-cancellation reduce ICI at the price of lowering the transmission rate and reducing the bandwidth efficiency. Other frequency-domain coding methods do not reduce the data rate, but produce less reduction in ICI as well. In this paper, we propose a novel ICI cancellation scheme that can eliminate the ICI entirely and offer a MC-CDMA mobile system with the same BER performance of a MC-CDMA system without ICI. More importantly, the proposed ICI cancellation scheme (namely Total ICI Cancellation) does not lower the transmission rate or reduce the bandwidth efficiency. Specifically, by exploiting frequency offset quantization, the proposed scheme takes advantage of the orthogonality of the ICI matrix and offers perfect ICI cancellation and significant BER improvement at linearly growing cost. Simulation results in AWGN channel and multi-path fading channel confirm the excellent performance of the proposed Total ICI Cancellation scheme in the presence of frequency offset or time variations in the channel, outperforming existing ICI cancellation methods.

We propose a point-to-point optical power allocation for the pulse amplitude modulated discrete multitone (PAM-DMT)-based hybrid optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PHO-OFDM) system to enhance its bit error rate (BER) performance. As the power allocated to each branch of PHO-OFDM would lead to different BER performance, a joint derivation of the constellation combination and power spectral density of the noise is introduced and realized by the iterative approximation algorithm. Although the peak-to-averagepower ratio of PHO-OFDM increases slightly after the power allocation processing, the BER improvement can still be obtained on both the ideal and nonlinear transfer model of LED compared with the conventional PHO-OFDM under the same constellation combination.

In linear networks with physical layer network coding (PNC), the relay node performs the combination of the relaying data from both end users. Moreover, the adaptive power allocation (APA) scheme can optimize the transmission rate of PNC for relaying communication systems. However, when the relay nodes are deployed with different distance to both of end user nodes, it is called near-far effect (NFE). The NFE degrades the bit error rate (BER) performance with deteriorating the decoding performance of PNC. Therefore, in order to further optimize the transmission power allocation (PA) for both of end user nodes and relaying node we propose a total adaptive power allocation (TAPA) scheme in this paper. With the proposed TAPA scheme, the NFE of conventional PNC systems can be diminished and the BER performance is improved. Simulation results show that the proposed TAPA improves the BER performance especially for the severe NFE environments.

This paper focuses on the bit error rate (BER) performance of intelligent transportation communication system under multipath mobile frequency-selective channels. After presenting the theoretical BER performance formula of single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) in the form of double integral, a closed-form approximate upper bound of BER performance was derived，as well as specific analytical expressions for approximate BER performance bounds under typical modulations. Analysis and simulation show that the derived approximate BER bound highly approaches the theoretical one. The bound also indicates that the research about the preferable equalization methods is still necessary.

The optical ZCZ code, which is a set of pairs of binary and biphase sequences with zero correlation zone, can provide code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system without co-channel interference. The M-ary amplitude shift keying spread spectrum (M-ary/ASK-SS) system using this code can detect a desired sequence without interference of undesired sequences. We have proposed the compact construction of a matched filter bank for this code, which is called the compact-type matched filter bank. However, M-ary/ASK-SS system using this filter bank might go down the bit error rate (BER) performance because input-output characteristics of this filter bank for this code with zero correlation zone 4n - 2 are nonlinear characteristics. In this paper, we clarify that BER performance in the M-ary/ASK-SS system over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels is not influenced by nonlinear characteristics of this filter bank by the theoretical formula of BER characteristics and the computer simulation. The BER performance in the ASK-SS system using compact-type matched filter under the AWGN environment go down compared to that using direct-type matched filter as expected. But the BER performance in the M-ary/ASK-SS system using this compact-type matched filter bank under the AWGN environment is almost equal compared to that using parallel-type matched filter bank. In fact, this compact-type matched filter bank is effective in the M-ary/ASK-SS system.

In free space optical (FSO) communication systems, atmospheric turbulence is the major cause of bit error rate (BER) performance degradation. The error performance of the system can be significantly improved with the help of spatial diversity by employing multiple transmit or receive apertures. However, correlation of channels under turbulence in the case of small separation between transmit apertures can substantially reduce the benefits of spatial diversity. Still, a thorough analysis of the system performance in terms of diversity order and coding gain for the FSO multiple-input single-output (MISO) system under turbulence influenced correlated channels has not been studied when the repetition coding is used to achieve improved BER performance. In this paper, we provide unique results of the BER performance analysis of the considered correlated FSO-MISO system over Gamma–Gamma distributed turbulence channel. Using the joint moment generating function of received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a novel generalized approximate BER expression is derived, followed by convergence test of the power series based BER expression using the Cauchy's ratio test. Then, an asymptotic analysis at high SNR is performed to obtain a novel closed-form expression for BER of FSO-MISO system. We also derive expressions for coding gain, diversity gain, and coding gain loss due to correlation in channels. Although the effect of correlation in channels on the BER performance of the system is analyzed under different scenarios, while it is observed that it does not affect the diversity order; it significantly degrades the coding gain of the considered system.

The implementation of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) on the Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA) can enhance performance in 5G future communication. Low complexity detector for the MIMO-SCMA system to achieve near-optimum bit error rate (BER) performance is still hot topic in this research field. This paper is investigate low complexity MIMO-SCMA detector by combining a joint factor graph (JFG) and sphere decoding (SD) algorithm based on message passing algorithm (MPA) called by SD-JFG-MPA. SD-JFG-MPA is combine n-th single factor graph become one virtual factor graph to deal with MIMO detector. SD algorithm is used to reduce high complexity of the JFG-MPA by calculating possible combination codeword within search radius R SD . SD-JFG-MPA is investigated under Rayleigh channel model with overloading factor 150%. The simulation result shows that complexity and BER performance is determined by a selected radius of SD-JFG-MPA. Optimum performance with less processing time for one bit error on single SCMA when $R_{SD} = \sqrt {E_b} \times 3/2 \times r_{max}$ meanwhile for 2x2 MIMO-SCMA when $R_{SD} = \sqrt {E_b} \times N_{mimo} \times r_{max}$. 2×2 MIMO-SCMA performance is better with 5 dB gap at BER = 10−3 compared to single SCMA.

– This paper analyses the performance of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system by combining it with an efficient algorithm Diagonal Reduction (DR). DR is a powerful tool to achieve more efficiently a high performance with less complexity. This paper proposes a DR algorithm in order to reduce its complexity named Greedy Diagonal Reduction (GDR) algorithm which gives reduced complexity with efficient performance at the receiver using the MATLAB communication tool box version 7.0 as a simulation tool. From the simulation results of various reduction algorithms it is observed that, DR can reduce the number of iterations using size reduction operations. Proposed DR algorithm gives identical Bit Error Rate (BER) performance with LLL algorithms when applied to Successive Interference cancellation (SIC) decoding. Greedy DR reduces the computational complexity in Multiple Input Multiple Output systems by improving the efficiency in terms of size reduction operations. Sphere Decoding (SD) technique gives better BER performance on comparing with Successive Interference cancellation decoding technique.

Space-time block code (STBC) based on orthogonal design is one of the space-time coding methods to achieve multi-input multi-output (MIMO) diversity gain. STBC can provide sufficient space diversity gain, but it can not provide coding gain. Polar codes based on channel polarization are the first class of provably capacity-achieving codes with low encoding and decoding complexity. In order to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of STBC, a concatenated scheme with Polar codes and STBC, named Polar-STBC scheme, is proposed in this paper. The BER performance of Polar-STBC system is discussed by numerical simulation under different polar code length, different polar code rates, and different coding methods of STBC. The results show that the performance of Polar-STBC has a big improvement in comparison with that using STBC only. The coding gain of Polar-STBC system is about 5dB when the BER is 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> . Meanwhile, the longer code length and the lower code rate Polar codes have, the better BER performance the Polar-STBC system has. In addition, the different STBC coding methods have influence on the Polar-STBC system. The Polar-STBC system with more receiving antennas has a better BER performance in comparison with those with the same sending antennas and less receiving antennas. The coding gain of Polar-STBC system with 2 receiving antenna is 6.5dB improvement to the system with 1 receiving antenna when BER is 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> and the code length is 1024.

This paper presents a bit error rate (BER) performance analysis of vehicular communication systems (VCS) based on the IEEE 802.11p standard assuming velocity variations of the mobile stations (MSs). To that end, we propose a novel Monte Carlo vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) fading channel simulator that takes into account the accelerated motion and trajectory variations of the MSs. On the grounds of the proposed channel simulator, we assess the impact of the MSs' velocity variations on the system's BER performance. We assume that the channel state information is obtained following the least-squares (LS) channel estimation techniques that are commonly implemented in commercial off-the-shelf WiFi devices. The results show that the velocity variations have in general a slight impact on the system's BER performance. However, the performance is aggravated as the data frame length or the relative speed increases. The simulation framework presented in this paper can be used as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of the emerging VCS in safety critical scenarios.

Aa analytical approach is presented for modeling crosstalk and to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance in a wavelength division-multiplexing (WDM) network for link with optical cross connect (OXC) without wavelength converter. Factors that affect the magnitude of crosstalk in the OXC are investigated and parameters that play important role in determining magnitude of crosstalk and BER are identified. The effects of OXC induced crosstalk on the BER performance is evaluated at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s by optimizing different parameters.

Frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion can significantly improve the downlink bit error rate (BER) performance of DS-CDMA in a frequency-selective fading channel. However, the uplink BER performance degrades due to a strong multi-user interference (MUI). We have proposed frequency-interleaved single-carrier spread spectrum multi-access (SC-SSMA) with MMSE-FDE, in which the subcarrier components of each user's signal are interleaved onto a wider bandwidth. Since frequency-interleaving patterns assigned to different users are orthogonal to each other, frequency-interleaved SC-SSMA can avoid the MUI completely while achieving frequency diversity gain with MMSE-FDE. In this paper, transmit/receive antenna diversity is applied to frequency-interleaved SC-SSMA with MMSE-FDE to further improve the BER performance. Its conditional BER is derived for the given set of channel gains. The average BER performance is numerically evaluated using the derived conditional BER and is confirmed by computer simulation.

By combing Spatial modulation (SM) with the Amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communication, a cooperative SM scheme with AF (AF-SM) protocol is presented, and the corresponding Bit error rate (BER) performance is investigated. Based on the performance analysis, the error probability of antenna index estimation ( P a ) and the error probability of symbol estimation ( P d ), which constitutes the overall average BER, are derived, respectively. As a result, tightly approximate closedform expressions of P a and P d are attained, respectively. Using these expressions, the closed-form overall average BER is achieved. During the analysis, the computational complexity of AF-SM detector is also provided in terms of the complex addition and multiplication numbers. Besides, the asymptotic BER at high SNR and the corresponding diversity gain are further derived, and the resultant diversity gain of N r + 1 is obtained for the system with N r receive antennas. Simulation results show that our theoretical analysis is valid, and provides good performance evaluation method for cooperative SM system. Moreover, the BER performance can be effectively improved as N r increases due to higher diversity gain.

A new rate 1/2 turbo code with short memory 2 is developed in this paper. The proposed turbo code consists of two 4-state parallel concatenated non-punctured systematic rate-2/3 convolutional codes. Using a modified maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding algorithm working on dual codes, its bit error rate (BER) performance is comparable to that of the classic 16-state turbo code at short block lengths, such as k=1024, while its decoding complexity is less than 1/8 that of the classic 16-state turbo codes; for information block length k=504, its BER performance is better than that of the (1008, 3, 6) LDPC codes with comparable decoding complexity. The dual code decoding algorithm is intrinsically partial parallel and a considerably higher throughput of the turbo decoder can be obtained compared with classic turbo codes consisting of punctured codes. The simulation results show that the proposed turbo code can be a competitive technique for short block length applications.
