Level crossing rate, outage probability and average time of fade duration of the SSC combiner output signal are determined in this paper. The presence of log-normal fading at the input is observed. The results are shown graphically for different variance values, decision threshold values and fading parameters. Key-Words: Diversity reception, Fade Duration, Level Crossing Rate, Log-normal fading...

Providing Quality of Service(QoS) guarantees is important in the third generation (3G) and the fourth generation (4G) cellular networks. However, large scale fading and non-stationary small scale fading can cause severe QoS violations. To address this issue, we design QoS provisioning schemes, which are robust against time-varying large scale path loss, shadowing, non-stationary small scale fad...

date bunch fading (dbf) is a serious disease of date palm (phoenix dactelifera l.) in iran. fusarium proliferatum was isolated from the xylem of fruit bunch samples sent from kerman and fars provinces groves to the laboratory. koch’s postulates were completed in the greenhouse by crown injection and root inoculations. shriveling of the fruits was induced by peduncle inoculations. symptoms on th...

Spectrum sensing is the key component of cognitive radio technology. Spectrum sensing is a tough task because of shadowing, fading, and time-varying nature of wireless channels. However, detection is compromised when a user experiences shadowing or fading effects. In such cases, user cannot distinguish between an unused band and a deep fade. Thus, cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed to opt...

Land surface temperature (LST) is a significant parameter for many applications. Many studies have proposedvarious algorithms, such as the split-window method, for retrieving surface temperatures from two spectrallyadjacent thermal infrared bands of satellite data. Each algorithm is developed for a limited study area andapplication. In this paper, as part of developing an optimal split-window m...

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...

In this paper, we will use the Space Time Block codes for antenna diversity, and the performance of Space-Time – Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (ST-TTCM) is investigated over Nakagami channels. For high data transmission over wireless fading channels, Space-Time Block Codes provide the maximal possible diversity advantage for multiple decoding algorithms. The effects of fading channel are consi...

This letter proposes a robust detection scheme of orthogonal space-time block codes that face very fast fading channels. The proposed detection scheme employs a QR decomposition on the channel matrix and minimizes noise enhancement and impact of channel estimation errors which occur in a conventional detection scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detection scheme outperforms the...

Fading is the time-dependent variations in signal strength measured at a receiver, due to temporally evolving multipath scattering and interference. In our previous work we introduced a statistical fading model for the time-reversal invariant case by combining the predictions of random matrix theory with the random coupling model that includes system-specific properties such as the radiation im...

We study bursty data communications in the downlink in random-access code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. We first present a new model that simultaneously takes into account the traffic information and fading channel characteristics for studying the multiaccess interference (MAI), and characterize the MAI from a stochastic process perspective. This new approach enables us to understand...
