This paper concerns two-hop communication over relay-assisted Block fading channel. It is assumed there is not a direct link between the transmitter and the affiliated destination and the communication occurs in two hops through the use of a relay, where the amplify and forward (AF) strategy is employed at this node. In this case, in a Rayleigh block fading channel, the optimal weight function ...

In this paper, wireless mobile communication system in the presence of short term fading, long term fading and co-channel interference subjected to short term fading is considered. Desired signal experiences Nakagami-m short term fading and Gamma long term fading, and co-channel interference experiences Nakagami-m short term fading. In interference limited wireless fading channel, the ratio of ...

Daylight in classrooms is a critical factor in school design, in terms of its impact on students’ health, learning and visual performance. Providing adequate amount of evenly distributed daylight and glare prevention are important challenges in classroom design. Window configuration significantly affects the intensity and uniformity of daylight. This paper aims to investigate the effect o...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique for high-data-rate wireless communications because it can combat inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by the dispersive fading of wireless channels. The proposed research focuses on techniques that improve the performance of OFDM based wireless communications and its commercial and military applications. In particular,...

This paper analyzes the unified performance of energy detection (ED) of spectrum sensing (SS) over generalized fading channels in cognitive radio (CR) networks. The detective performance of SS schemes will be obviously affected by fading channel between communication nodes, and ED has the advantages of fast implementation, no requirement of priori received information and low complexity, so it ...

ABSTRACT. This paper studies the dynamics of the traditional cobweb model with risk averse heterogeneous producers who seek to learn the distribution of asset prices using geometric decay processes (GDP)—the expected mean and variance are estimated as a geometric weighted average of past observations—with either finite or infinite fading memory. With constant absolute risk aversion, the dynamic...

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) the multipath exceeding the guard interval (GI) causes inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI), thereby making it difficult to achieve high data rate transmission. In this paper, the double window cancellation and combining (DWCC), introduced in [14], is analyzed by investigating SINR distribution under different ...

Fueled by the promises of high spectral efficiency, adaptive OFDMA has attracted enormous research interests over the last decade. The significant capacity gain of adaptive OFDMA comes from fast adaptation of resource allocation in response to instantaneous channel conditions. Despite years of efforts to improve the practicality of adaptive OFDMA, such promising technique is still far from real...

Zheng and Barton developed a convenient signaling scheme (orthogonal on-off BPSK (OBPSK)) with a simple one-shot linear decorrelating detector (LDD) for near–far resistant detection in asynchronous DS/CDMA systems. This paper studies the performance of the OBPSK LDD system over a frequency-nonselective and slowly fading channel. Three types of channel model are considered, namely Rayleigh fadin...
