In this paper, it is proposed that to achieve higher data rates and to combat to effect of multipath propagation, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system (OFDM) is a promising technique. OFDM allows many users to transmit in an allocated carrier. Each user is allocated several carriers in which to transmit their data.The transmission is generated in such a way that the carriers used a...

A performance analysis of an optically interconnected packet-scheduling switch network is presented. The scheduling switch uses a branch of feed-forward delays for each input port, interconnected with elementary optical switches to resolve contention. The scheduling switch is guaranteed to be lossless under a certain smoothness property condition. We investigate the packet-loss performance of t...

Unsupervised algorithms can be used in digital communications to estimate the channel at the receiver without using pilot symbols, thus obtaining a considerable improvement in terms of data rate, spectral efficiency, and energy consumption. Unfortunately, the computational load is considerably high since they require to estimate Higher Order Statistics. For addressing this issue, it has been re...

Applying spatial mode switching in channel adaptive MIMO systems promises to achieve high spectral efficiencies in practical system setups. Several studies have pointed out significant performance gains obtained in realistically modeled channel scenarios. We have conducted channel measurements with the Berlin LTE-Advanced Testbed operated in the city center of Berlin and used these for the perf...

Nowadays, customers request more variation in a company’s product assortment leading to an increased amount of parts moving around on the shop floor. To cope with this tendency, a kitting process can be implemented. As it gathers the necessary parts into a container prior to assembly, kitting enables a more cost-efficient and qualitative production. However, the performance of this preparation ...

Despite the conclusive potential of cognitive radio for provisioning the dynamic and flexible spectrum/channel allocation, the research community should study the performance gain of physical layer over such a radio with cognition capabilities. To this end, several mechanisms of physical layers such as adaptive modulation, multipleinput multiple output antennas; channel coding and/or combinatio...

This paper provides means for performance evaluation of a queue with Poisson Pareto Burst Process (PPBP) input. Because of the long range dependent nature of the PPBP, straightforward simulations are unreliable. New analytical and simulation techniques are described in this paper. Numerical comparison between the results shows consistency. Conservative dimensioning rules using zero buffer appro...

As an increasing number of data is to be processed, outsourcing data to the cloud environment becomes an appealing proposal to heighten the computation/storage efficiency, while avoiding costly and complicated system construction. However, it is necessary to encrypt the outsourced data to prevent the breaches of both data confidentiality and privacy. Most of the statistical procedures deal with...

We outline a general framework to use coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission technology in downlink multicell non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems considering distributed power allocation at each cell. In this framework, CoMP transmission is used for users experiencing strong receivesignals from multiple cells while each cell adopts NOMA for resource allocation to its active users...

Queueing network models with finite capacity queues and blocking are used for modeling and performance evaluation of systems with finite resources and population constraints, such as communication and computer systems, traffic, production and manufacturing systems. Various blocking types can be defined to represent different system behaviors, network protocols and technologies. Queueing network...
