The Mobile Radio Communications Channel
نویسنده
چکیده
Cognitive radio is an emerging technology that enables the flexible development, construction, production, shipping, and deployment of highly adaptive radios that are built upon software defined radio technology. This contribution starts with a brief section that underlines the paramount importance of the mobile radio communications channel. Then, spectrum issues are discussed to emphasize the reasons for spectrum scarcity as well as the importance of dynamic spectrum allocation. Some remarks about the development of software defined radio from digital radio lead to a discussion of the most important engineering aspects of CR, for example, location and spectrum awareness, transmission power control, and signal analysis. Because usually papers about CR are somewhat visionary, we first describe practical steps to an implementation of helpful CR properties into a mobile communication base station, as well as user terminal equipment. The article concludes with a short summary. COGNITIVE RADIO: A COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING VIEW Cognitive radio is an

Turbo Processing Techniques for Digital Communications over Wireless Mobile Fading Channels
Wireless technology is creating a revolution in communications. While systems such as broadcast radio and television have been around for many years, many new types of wireless communication systems are emerging such as digital cellular, personal communications services (PCS), and packet radio. Two powerful techniques are usually employed to make communication over wireless mobile fading channe...
متن کاملCyclic Delay Diversity: Effective Channel Properties and Applications
We briefly explain the concept of cyclic delay diversity (CDD) as a variant of standard conformable delay diversity techniques. Usually being implemented at the transmitter side of an OFDM based system, the application of CDD is recognized at the receiver side only by observing modified channel propagation conditions. Therefore, we analyze the effect of CDD on the channel fading properties obse...

The most computationally intensive part of the wideband receiver of a software defined radio (SDR) is the channelizer since it operates at the highest sampling rate. Higher order FIR channel filters are needed in the channelizer to meet the stringent adjacent channel attenuation specifications of wireless communications standards. In this paper, we present a coefficient-partitioning algorithm f...
متن کاملRadio environment map-based cognitive Doppler spread compensation algorithms for high-speed rail broadband mobile communications
Recently, there is an increasing yet challenging demand on broadband mobile communications for high-speed trains. In this article, cognitive Doppler spread compensation algorithms are proposed for high-speed rail broadband mobile communications, which make use of the dedicated radio environment map (REM) for railway to compensate the time-varying Doppler spread. The dedicated REM for high-speed...
متن کاملEqualization of digital radio channels with large multipath delay for cellular land mobile applications
A new maximum a posteriori (MAP) equalizer is proposed for digital radio links affected by large multipath delays. The “sparse” nature of the channel, where a few nonzero powerful taps are spaced by many negligible taps, is exploited to achieve a complexity proportional to the number of nonzero taps. When the channel is time-varying, an efficient nonlinear Kalman-like channel estimator is emplo...
