Estimation of time-varying channels for pilot-assisted OFDM systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems encounter performance degradations because of the time-varying (TV) channels common in wireless environments. The channel variations within one OFDM symbol introduce intercarrier interference. In this case, the frequency domain channel matrix is no longer diagonal, hence the corresponding channel estimation is challenging. In this article, two novel TV channel estimation approaches are proposed for the pilot-assisted OFDM systems, where the channel is approximated by the high-order linear model or the piece-wise linear model in time domain. The least square estimation is derived for the two kinds of channel approximations. The simulation is performed based on realistic TV channels with a fairly high Doppler spread. The results show the significant decreasing of the estimation mean square error using the proposed approaches.

On-Demand Utility-Based Power Control Routing for Energy-Aware Optimization in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel on-demand energy-aware routing protocol, UBPCR [utility-based power control routing], which reduces the trade-offs that arise in the other energy-aware route selection mechanisms that have recently been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks. Our approach is based on an economic framework that represents the degree of link's satisfaction (utility). With UBPCR, the utility function for any transmitter-receiver pair is defined as a measure of the link's preference regarding the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR), the transmit power, and the transmitter's residual battery capacity. During a route-searching process, each intermediate node between the source and the destination is executed via two consecutive phases: the scheduling phase and the transmit power control phase. The scheduling algorithm finds the proper qualified data slot for the receiving channel so that the transmissions of independent transmitters can be coordinated. The transmit power control determines the optimal power, if one exists, that maximizes the corresponding link's utility. Extensive simulations show that the UBPCR protocol can achieve incompatible goals simultaneously and fairly.

Fast Firmware Implementation of RSA-Like Security Protocol for Mobile Devices

In modern mobile communications, personal privacy and security are of top concern to mobile phone subscribers. Yet, owing to the limit of their processing capability, mainstream mobile manufacturers are still unable to apply advanced security protocol to mobile devices. It should be noted that many security protocols are based on RSA algorithm. To implement RSA algorithm and thus apply many advanced security protocols to mobile networks, this paper proposes an efficient and practical method based on the Texas Instruments TMS320C55x family. When the proposed method is employed, it takes only 7.9 milliseconds to perform a 1024-bit RSA encryption operation at the clock frequency of 200 MHz. Our decryption operation is at least 3.5 times faster than the time taken to perform the same operation without employing the proposed method. In addition, the proposed method can stop any power-analysis attack on RSA-based security protocols, thereby enhancing the security of mobile environments.     

Fast Duplicate Address Detection for Seamless Inter-Domain Handoff in All-IPv6 Mobile Networks

In All-IP networks, each computer or communication equipment needs an IP address. To supply enough IP addresses, the new Internet protocol IPv6 will be used in next generation mobile communication. Although IPv6 improves the existing Internet protocol (IPv4), Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) mechanism may consume resources and suffer from long delay. DAD is used to make sure whether the IP address is unique or not. When a mobile node performs an inter-domain handoff, it will first generate a new IP and perform a DAD procedure. The DAD procedure not only wastes time but also increases the signaling load on Internet. In this paper, we propose a new DAD mechanism to speed up the DAD procedure. We create a DAD table in access or mobility routers in All-IP networks and record all IP addresses of the area. When a new IP address needs to perform DAD, it can just search in the DAD table to confirm the uniqueness of the address. Furthermore, we propose a new method, Fast Duplicate Address Detection (Fast DAD), to reduce data search time. Simulation results show that our method outperforms the existing DAD methods.
