Patent filed in Sep. 2007, United States Patent Application 20090109953

Abstract

System and methodologies for timing synchronization in a wireless communication system are provided herein. The provided systems and methodologies can utilize various timing synchronization algorithms and an associated state machine to reduce the down time of a wireless communication system due to the presence of simultaneously operating piconets (SOP) and/or other factors. Frequency band finger pattern detection techniques are additionally described that can reduce boundary mismatch rates for wireless receivers. In one example, by making use of the fact that time frequency codes (TFCs) possess unique frequency hopping patterns, system down time can be reduced and OFDM boundary matching can be enhanced to allow a receiver to obtain correct timing information even for communication channels having a very low SINR.

Abstract

Energy-Efficient and Secure Communication Systems, (Ph.D. Thesis Exam)

Derrick Wing Kwan Ng
Thesis Ph.D. thesis defense, The University of British Columbia, 2012.

Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), multiple--input multiple--output (MIMO), and base station (BS) cooperation are the core techniques for the next generation wireless communication systems. As the communication systems evolve, both service providers and users are demanding not only high data rates, but also energy efficiency and data security. As a result, it is necessary to design novel resource allocation algorithms that meet these new needs. This dissertation develops four resource allocation algorithms which are tailored for different design goals and communication environments. For systems employing the combination of OFDMA and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying technologies, we propose a novel resource allocation algorithm for secure communication. The proposed algorithm takes into account artificial noise generation to combat a passive multiple antenna eavesdropper and the effects of imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT).

Abstract

The integration of energy harvesting (EH) capabilities in battery-powered wireless communication devices facilitates self-sustainability of energy limited communication systems. Solar and wind are the major conventional energy sources for EH. However, the availability of these natural energy sources is usually limited by location, climate, and time of day. In theses cases, harvesting from background radio frequency (RF) signals originating from ambient transmitters can support the power needs of the receivers. Unlike the natural energy sources, RF energy is generally weather-independent and can be available on demand. More importantly, RF-based energy harvesting provides the possibility of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWPIT) enabling ubiquitous communication. In this talk, we will first provide a survey on the state-of-the-art wireless power transfer technologies. Next, we will focus on various SWIPT communication systems and discuss the new challenges in designing wireless powered communication networks.

Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), multiple--input multiple--output (MIMO), and base station (BS) cooperation are the core techniques for the next generation wireless communication systems. As the communication systems evolve, both service providers and users are demanding not only high data rates, but also energy efficiency and data security. As a result, it is necessary to design novel resource allocation algorithms that meet these new needs. This dissertation develops four resource allocation algorithms which are tailored for different design goals and communication environments. For systems employing the combination of OFDMA and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying technologies, we propose a novel resource allocation algorithm for secure communication. The proposed algorithm takes into account artificial noise generation to combat a passive multiple antenna eavesdropper and the effects of imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). Subsequently, we investigate the energy efficiency of OFDMA systems which also provide communication security. We formulate the resource allocation algorithm design as a non-convex optimization problem. By exploiting the properties of fractional programming, the considered non-convex optimization problem is transformed to an equivalent convex optimization problem with a tractable solution, which can be obtained with an iterative algorithm. Thirdly, we study resource allocation for energy efficient communication in OFDMA downlink networks with a large number of transmit antennas. Our proposed resource allocation algorithm takes into account the circuit power consumption, imperfect CSIT, a minimum data rate requirement, and a maximum tolerable channel outage probability.

Performance Analysis of the Multi-user System

Abstract

Cross-layer design has been shown to offer high spectral efficiency which benefits from the inherent multi-user diversity in wireless fading channels. In cross-layer OFDMA systems with perfect CSIT, it is well known that the system through- put (ergodic capacity) scales in the order of O(log logK) due to the MuDiv gain. However, with imperfect CSIT, it is still not clear whether we can get the same performance as that of the perfect case. In the ?¯rst part of this thesis, we shall consider the cross-layer OFDMA scheduling design under various practical PHY layer and MAC layer constraints for a wireless system with one base station and K mobile users . We study the cross- layer scheduling design with imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the base station for delay-tolerant applications. The imperfectness of CSI is assumed to be the result of feedback or duplexing delay. With imperfect CSI at transmit- ter (CSIT), there exists a potential packet transmission error when the scheduled data rate exceeds the instantaneous channel capacity referring to packet outage. The OFDMA cross-layer design with delayed CSIT is modeled as an mixed integer and convex optimization problem where the rate adaptation, power adaptation and subcarrier allocation policies are designed to optimize the system goodput (b/s/Hz successfully received by the mobiles). At the time same time, we are interested to know the trade-off between packet outage diversity gain and multi-user diversity gain. Therefore, by using extreme value theorem, we are able to show the trade-o?® analytically. In the second part of this thesis, we would like to evaluate the performance of a uplink multiaccess channel with successive interference cancellation receiver equipped in the base-station. We derive analytically the per-user packet outage probability and the total system goodput for multi-access systems using multiuser detector with adaptive successive interference cancellation (MUD-SIC). Slow fad- ing channel is assumed where packet transmission error (outage) is the primary concern even if strong channel coding is applied. To capture the effect of potential packet error, goodput should be used as performance measure. Unlike previous works, our analysis focuses on the error-propagation effects in MUD-SIC detector where the packet outage event for a single user is depending on the other users. Also, we derive the optimal SIC decoding order (to maximize system goodput) and evaluate the closed-form per-user packet outage probabilities for the n users for MUD-SIC. Simulation results are used to verify the analytical expressions.
