چکیده

This paper investigates uplink pattern optimisation algorithms with and without power control for a smart antenna system operating in an infrastructure Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) following IEEE802.11a or HIPERLAN/2 standards. An indoor infrastructure WLAN scenario with multiple users communicating with an access point is modelled using a deterministic ray-tracing tool. The WLAN access point is serving multiple users simultaneously through Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA). The aim of the pattern optimisation and power control algorithm is to minimise the total power and interference to other systems while achieving target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) values for each user. The target SINR is a minimum required to achieve a certain Error Rate (BER). It is shown that for high target SINR value, a null steering pattern is expected while for a low SINR target a beamsteering pattern is expected. For mixed targets, the best compromise between null steering and beamsteering is achieved.

An Improved Indoor Positioning System Based on WLAN

Despite of widespread usage of Global Positioning System (GPS), this system is considered inefficient for indoor areas. Although the most prominent positioning system is Global Positioning System, this system uses some electromagnetic waves which are unable to pass thick obstacles such as concrete roofs and trees [1]. Thus, it cannot be considered as a robust infrastructure for indoor positioni...

Power Control and Scheduling For Low SNR Region in the Uplink of Two Cell Networks

In this paper we investigate the sub-channel assignment and power control to maximize the total sum rate in the uplink of two-cell network. It is assumed that there are some sub-channels in each cell which should be allocated among some users. Also, each user is subjected to a power constraint. The underlying problem is a non-convex mixed integer non-linear optimization problem which does not h...
