— In this paper we evaluate outage performance of a cooperative transmission protocol over fading channels that requires a number of relaying nodes to employ a distributed space-...
Abstract—This paper considers an uplink time division multiple access (TDMA) cognitive radio network where multiple cognitive radios (secondary users) attempt to access a spect...
Establishing a control channel for medium access control is a challenging problem in multi-channel and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. In the design of multi-channel MAC p...
— Channel-aware scheduling strategies, such as the Proportional Fair algorithm for the CDMA 1xEV-DO system, provide an effective mechanism for improving throughput performance in...
- An initial timing offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. Conventional preamble-based synchronization methods result i...
