In underlay Cognitive Radio (CR) systems, secondary users may transmit while primary transmissions take place. However, the interference aggregates on the primary system, and performance degradation will occur. Thus, quantifying and modeling of the aggregate interference is important in...

Cognitive radio is one of the most promising technologies to address the spectrum scarcity problem. Cognitive radio requires spectrum sensing, which is used by unlicensed users to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum. Spectrum sensing using energy detection offers low-cost and...

Analysis of Non-Coherent Detectors for Opportunistic Spectrum Access in Broadband Wireless Networks
DownloadSpring 2016
The exponential growth in the number of wireless broadband service users demands an enormous increase in the available communication bandwidth, which inherently translates into an increased demand for the radio frequency spectrum. Opportunistically accessing the unused portions of the spectrum...

Although underlay networks mitigate the dual problems of spectrum congestion and spectrum under-utilization, the bi-directional (primary-to-secondary and secondary-to-primary) interference issues must be addressed to improve their reliability, coverage and capacity. To address these problems,...

Compact and accurate hardware simulation of wireless channels for single and multiple antenna systems
DownloadFall 2009
The accurate simulation of wireless channels is important since it permits the realistic and repeatable performance measurement of wireless systems. While software simulation is a flexible method for testing hardware models, its long-running simulation time can be prohibitive in many scenarios....

The goal of error control coding is to encode information in such a way, that in the event that errors occur during transmission over a noisy communication channel or during storage in an unreliable memory, the receiver can correct the errors and recover the original transmitted information....

In this dissertation we present new methods for designing efficient Raptor codes in finite and practical block lengths. First we propose an extension of Raptor codes which keeps all the desirable properties, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, and...

Weighted sum-rate and common-rate optimization problems in wireless networks can be represented as the general forms of $\max\limits{}~ \sum{i=1}^N ai\log2(1+\gamma{i})$ and $\max~ \min\limits{i} (\gamma{i})$, respectively, where $\gammai$ represents the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of user...

Bit/symbol error rate and outage probability are common performance metrics used to quantify the reliability of wireless communication systems. Error rates for a broad class of digital modulation schemes and outage probability are expressed as integrals, which often do not have closed-form...
