A Generalized Frequency Hopping (GFH) OFDMA system is developed in this paper as a structured long code DS-CDMA system in order to bridge frequency hopped multi-carrier transmissions with long code DS-CDMA. Through judicious code design, multiuser interference is eliminated deterministically in the presence of unknown frequency-selective multipath channels. Thanks to frequency hopping, no singl...

Spectrum-overlay scenarios for wideband multi-carrier (MC) systems bring new technical challenges that must be considered during the system design. In such a scenario, the performance of the multi-carrier system is affected by the presence of possibly strong in-band interference. To improve the performance of the MC communication link in an interference corrupted environment (without increasing...

-Wireless communication systems are tending towards progressive data transfer over a long range of transmission. With the raise in required quality of services, the allocation of the available resource is to be maintained efficiently. A load matrix approach for multi cellular architecture is proposed, which allocate the communication power based on channel estimated SINR. The allocation of powe...

Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is a technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path, such as a cable or wireless system. Each signal travels within its own unique frequency range (carrier), which is modulated by the data (text, voice, video, etc.). For multimedia implementations, consider the more efficient and robust OFDM (orthogonal frequency d...

The coming decade will bring a proliferation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) that are likely to revolutionize society in the same way as the mobile phone has done. The promise of a broader multi-frequency, multi-signal GNSS “system of systems” has the potential of enabling a much wider range of demanding applications compared to the current GPS-only situation. In order to achieve ...

In multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar system, good orthogonality between transmitting waveforms will fairly simplify the signal processing, along with improve the targets detection as well as the parameters estimation performance of the system. In this paper, a discrete frequency and phase coding waveform (DFPCW), which attains good orthogonality by varying the carrier frequency and initial ...

This paper addresses transmission impairment mechanisms in multiple-beam satellite communications systems that use active phased arrays. The communications link and system aspects are assessed through measurements and analysis. Three link parameters that contribute to transmission impairment are investigated and their effects on the overall carrier-to-interference ratio are quantified. First ar...

The MC-CDMA transmission technique is seen as a candidate for beyond 3G systems. It benefits from the high bandwidth efficiency of multi-carrier systems and the flexibility and granularity offered by CDMA for resources allocation. In the framework of the IST MATRICE European project, a MC-CDMA beyond 3G system has been defined and extensively studied. This paper describes the sensitivity of thi...

MCSM is a recently proposed novel system concept to solve the massive access problem envisioned in future communication systems like 5G and industry 4.0 systems. This work focuses on the practical verification of the theoretical gains that MCSM provides using a Hardware-Inthe-Loop (HIL) measurement setup. We present results in two different scenarios: (i) a LoS lab setup and (ii) a nonLoS machi...
