Ergodic capacity analysis for SIMO cognitive fading channel in spectrum sharing environment

We consider the Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) balancing problem involving joint beamfoming and power allocation in the Cognitive Radio (CR) network, wherein the Single-Input Multi-Output Multiple Access Channels (SIMO-MAC) are assumed. Subject to two sets of constraints: the interference temperature constraints of Primary Users (PUs) and the peak power constraints of Cognitive Users (CUs), a low-complexity joint beamforming and power allocation algorithm called Semi-Decoupled Multi-Constraint Power Allocation with Constraints Preselection (SDMCPA-CP) for SINR balancing is proposed. Compared with the existing algorithm, the proposed SDMCPA-CP can reduce the number of matrix inversions and matrix eigen decompositions significantly, especially when large numbers of PUs and CUs are active, while still providing the optimal balanced SINR level for all the CUs.     

An upper bound on the SER of transmit beamforming in correlated rayleigh fading

We study the symbol error rate (SER) of maximum ratio transmission, transmit antenna selection, and codebookbased beamforming in correlated Rayleigh fading channels. Assuming maximum ratio combining is performed at the receiver, we derive a universal upper bound on the average SER of the three schemes, and prove that the bound is asymptotically tight in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions. However, numerical results show that at medium SNR, the tightness of the bound depends on the condition number of the channel correlation matrix.     

Capacity in fading environment based on soft sensing information under spectrum sharing constraints

In this paper, the ergodic channel capacity for a secondary user is investigated using soft sensing information about primary user activity in a shared channel under joint peak transmit power and average received interference power constraints for Nakagami-m fading channel. The results of the proposed power adaptation scheme illustrate the effect of communication environment parameters and soft sensing information about primary user activity on the channel capacity of secondary user. In particular, the effect of cross link channel state information to maximize the channel capacity for the power adaptation scheme is emphasized by considering the Lagrangian optimization problem for joint peak transmit power and average interference power constraints. Moreover, the performance of the primary user is also investigated considering the interference of the secondary user to the primary in spectrum sharing environment in terms of transmission rate and average channel capacity.     

Joint power and rate allocation for spectrum sharing cognitive radio multicast networks under service outage constraint

This letter considers a downlink spectrum sharing cognitive radio (CR) multicast network coexisting with a primary network. The problem of joint power and rate allocation to maximize the average sum rate is studied. In this regard, a joint power and rate allocation scheme is proposed, where the allocated rate can be higher than the lowest rate of all the secondary users (SUs) within the same group, which is different from the conventional multicast transmission scheme. To guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of the SU, the service outage probability defined as the probability that the maximum achievable rate of the SU is lower than the rate of the group, is constrained to be under a certain threshold, which is termed as the service outage constraint. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme provides significant improvement over the conventional scheme in terms of average sum rate.     

Joint power control and spectrum sensing for capacity maximisation in spectrum sharing systems

We study the problem of joint power control and spectrum sensing for maximising the capacity at the secondary user while protecting the primary user's transmissions in spectrum sharing cognitive radio systems. Power control regulates the transmission power of the secondary user and spectrum sensing regulates the sensing time and the sensing threshold that care for the primary user's protection. This problem is a capacity maximisation problem that we formulate and solve using an iterative greedy algorithm due to its complex form. The solution of the proposed algorithm leads to the global optimal solution that represents the optimal triplet values of transmission power, sensing time and threshold. The obtained results show the potential capacity maximisation that is achieved by the proposed joint design as long as the primary user's protection is provided. Finally the convergence behaviour of the proposed algorithm is assessed in terms of the needed iterations for enhancing the capacity of spectrum sharing systems.     

Performance and distance spectrum of space-time codes in fast rayleigh fading channels

In this paper, we analyze the performance of spacetime codes and propose a distance spectrum computation method in fast Rayleigh fading channels. We first derive a new FER upper bound using the union bound and the PEP upper bound in the fast fading environment. The derived FER upper bound is very accurate, requires only the distance spectrum of the spacetime code, and takes a closed-form expression. Then we propose a distance spectrum computation method of space-time codes in fast fading channels, which exploits the symmetric property of the error state diagram in space-time trellis coded MPSK modulation to reduce the computation complexity. Numerical results illustrate that the derived FER bound is tight enough to estimate the performance of space-time codes in fast fading channels with sufficient accuracy.     

Estimate of channel capacity in Rayleigh fading environment

The channel capacity in a Rayleigh fading environment is derived. The result shows that the channel capacity in a Rayleigh fading environment is always lower than that in a Gaussian-noise environment. When operating a digital transmission in a mobile radio environment that has Rayleigh fading statistics, it is very important to know the degradations in channel capacity due to Rayleigh fading, and also to what degree the diversity schemes can raise the channel capacity in a Rayleigh fading environment. The curves are generated to show the degradation of channel capacity in a Rayleigh fading environment and its improvement by diversity schemes     

Investigation on outage capacity of spectrum sharing system using CSI and SSI under received power constraints

In this paper, we have investigated the outage capacity of secondary user for opportunistic spectrum sharing under the joint peak and average received power constraints for Rayleigh fading environment. Under this communication scenario, on detecting the licensed primary user inactive, the secondary unlicensed users transmit data/information in the licensed frequency band such that no or minimum interference may be experienced by the primary user. The soft sensing information (SSI) and secondary user’s channel state information is used to obtain the closed form expressions for the ergodic and outage capacity using truncated channel inversion with fixed rate technique under the joint peak and average received power constraints. Numerically simulated results are provided to demonstrate the improvement in outage capacity of secondary user under the proposed spectrum sharing scheme. Moreover, the proposed scheme is also compared with other conventional spectrum sharing schemes to illustrate the benefits of SSI and received power constraints on the outage capacity of secondary user.

Impact of power control and lognormal shadowing on the mean transmit power of Bluetooth devices

This letter analyzes Bluetooth's power-control algorithm with a goal to study the mean transmit power required in the presence of lognormal shadowing. The following results are found. 1) A smaller power-control step size yields a lower mean transmit power. 2) When the standard deviations of lognormal shadowing are 3 and 6 dB, respectively, a Bluetooth device needs to consume 11.1 dB and 15.0 dB more in the transmit energy than the minimum one required in the absence of shadowing. 3) The transmit energy consumption varies by around 6 dB among Bluetooth devices as a result of the /spl plusmn/6 dB tolerance in the golden receive power range, which has a nominal size of 20 dB.

Impact of delayed arbitrary transmit antenna selection on the performance of rectangular QAM with receive MRC in fading channels

Constrained switching rate imposes practical limitations on the effectiveness of selection combining diversity algorithms. This paper investigates the impact of delayed arbitrarilyordered transmit antenna selection on the average symbol error probability (SEP) performance of arbitrary rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) with receive maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity. New closed form expression is presented for the system average SEP considering the case of statistically independent diversity branches over which the instantaneous fading-to-noise power ratios follow Gamma distributions.     

Capacity enhancement of secondary links through spatial diversity in spectrum sharing

Previous investigations on capacity of secondary users in spectrum-sharing environments have determined the capacity of a secondary link based on the interference power threshold set at the primary receiver. In contrast to these previous works, we show that the capacity of a secondary link is determined based on a geographical relationship expressed as the ratio of the distance between the primary receiver and secondary transmitter to the distance between the secondary transmitter and receiver. Proceeding from that and in an effort, to enhance the capacity of the secondary user, which is limited by this distance-ratio, we adopt a secondary transmitter with Μ antennas. Furthermore, we analyze the capacity achieved using a simple antenna selection process.     

Performance of trellis-coded direct-sequence spread spectrum withnoncoherent reception in a fading environment

In this paper, we consider the performance of different coding schemes for direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) in a nonselective Rician faded channel. The Nordstrom-Robinson (NR) code, a nonlinear code that has a large distance for a given rate combined with a trellis code, is examined. A bound is developed on the error probability for this trellis-coded NR (TCNR) code with noncoherent reception over a frequency-nonselective Rayleigh or Rician fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This bound is tighter than the standard union bound. Our results indicate that the standard union bound can be significantly different from the more accurate results obtained from the improved union bound. In addition, there is a considerable coding gain at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the TCNR code over the conventional DS-SS code at the same data rate     

Analysis of dynamic capabilities for spectrum sharing in the citizens broadband radio service

This paper seeks to identify and analyze the sources of value creation and capture by key stakeholders in the new Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) three tier spectrum sharing framework introduced by the US President’s Council of Advanced Science & Technology. More flexible and dynamic use of the 3.5 GHz spectrum aims to increase the efficiency of spectrum use in delivering fast growing and converging mobile broadband and media services while paving the way to innovations in technology and business models. In this paper, we focus on key stakeholders’ capability to deal with combined internal and external resources and capabilities in doing business, referred to as dynamic capability. Spectrum sharing, introducing a rapid change in the technology and business environments, requires dynamic capabilities from spectrum offering, spectrum utilization, and spectrum management perspectives. We focus on defining key CBRS functional domains and identifying their key antecedents, elements, and outcomes. The analysis highlights the key role of the regulator in creating a sharing framework with incentives for all the key stakeholders, with different operational and business requirements, and enabling scaling ecosystem. Increased system dynamics in spectrum sharing will introduce a need for big data analytics, near real time network management capabilities and low cost third tier general authorized access radios, leveraging dominant technology ecosystems. This study provides viewpoints for stakeholders about additional ingredients and actions, which may be relevant to promote spectrum sharing in the form of the CBRS. The concept of dynamic capabilities was found useful to analyze the sources of competitive advantage regarding CBRS spectrum sharing.
