We present a cognitive spectrum access solution for FH-CDMA ad hoc networks. Building on a cluster-based split phase multi-channel MAC protocol, we propose a mechanism for local interference avoidance through distributed hopset adaptation. Its goal is to identify and substitute channels not suitable for reliable communication. Substitution rules replace channels by locally unused hopsets. This ...

The behavior of a single impurity in a one-dimensional Luttinger liquid is numerically investigated by means of the density matrix renormalization group. By analyzing the finite size scaling behavior of the low energy spectrum, we confirm the theoretical prediction of Kane and Fisher [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 1220 (1992)] both for attractive and repulsive interactions. Moreover, we calculate the ex...

We introduce a new stopping-time argument, adapted to handle linear sums of noncompactly-supported functions that satisfy fairly weak decay, smoothness, and cancellation conditions. We use the argument to obtain a new Littlewood-Paley-type result for such sums. 0. Introduction. First, an apology. The title, though correct, is somewhat misleading. It should be “Global almostorthogonality implies...

In this paper, we propose the combination of Multi Carrier (MC) OFDM/OQAM modulation and CDMAcalled MC-CDMA-OQAM system with Space Time (ST) coding in a multi user context. This combination takes advantages from multicarrier modulation, spread spectrum and spatial time diversity. Indeed, the use of OFDM has proved its ability to fight against frequency selective channels but the insertion of gu...

LoRa (Long Range), a low power and wide area modulation scheme based on chirp spread spectrum, is the most popular widely adopted Internet-of-Things (IoT) technique in industry. A notable interesting property of quasi-orthogonality signals modulated under different spreading factors (SFs). Unfortunately, literature, there has been no analytical effort to establish theoretical validity such quas...

To combine the high power efficiency of Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) with either high spectral efficiency or enhanced performance in low Signal to Noise conditions, some authors have proposed to introduce CPM in a MIMO frame, by using Space Time Codes (STC). In this paper, we address the code design problem of Space Time Block Codes combined with CPM and introduce a new design criterion ba...

In this paper, we present a comparison between MCCDMA and CDMA-OFDM/OQAM systems in the case of MIMO channel. The advanced Multi Carrier CDMA OFDM/OQAM modulation is a combination of CDMA and OFDM/OQAM. This combination takes advantages from multicarrier modulation and spread spectrum. Indeed, the use of OFDM has proved its ability to fight against frequency selective channels but the insertion...

Various concepts of orthogonality on the real line are reviewed that arise in connection with quadrature rules. Orthogonality relative to a positive measure and Gauss-type quadrature rules are classical. More recent types of orthogonality include orthogonality relative to a sign-variable measure, which arises in connection with Gauss-Kronrod quadrature, and power (or implicit) orthogonality enc...
