In this paper, system operating margin (SOM) is estimated for vehicular ad-hoc networks in absence and presence of Rayleigh fading. The Ad-hoc IEEE 802.11 model is considered for estimating the signal strength and system operating margin. Rayleigh fading was then simulated and system operating margin are estimated in Rayleigh fading environment for different standard modulation schemes. Keyword...

Differential space-time modulation (DSTM) for multiple antenna communication systems has been recently proposed for frequency-nonselective fading channels. In broadband multirate systems, frequency-selective fading may occur. In this paper, the DSTM in frequency-selective fading channels is considered. A linear equalizer for the DSTM is proposed over frequency-selective fading channels. Further...

In this paper the receiver for the demodulation of M-FSK signals in the presence of Gaussian noise, intersymbol interference, impulse interference and fading is considered. The probability density function of M-ary FSK signal in the presence of noise, interference and fading is derived. These interferences can seriously degrade the communication system performances. Key-Words: M-ary Frequency S...

Physical-layer network coding (PLNC) has the ability to drastically improve the throughput of multi-source wireless communication systems. In this paper, we focus on the problem of channel tracking in a Decode-and-Forward (DF) OFDM PLNC system. We proposed a Kalman Filter-based algorithm for tracking the frequency/time fading channel in this system. Tracking of the channel is performed in the t...

Abstract—Spectrum sensing is the main feature of cognitive radio technology. Spectrum sensing gives an idea of detecting the presence of the primary users in a licensed spectrum. In this paper we compare the theoretical results of detection probability of different fading environments like Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m fading channels with the simulation results using energy detection based spec...

Cognitive radio is a novel technology that can potentially improve the utilization efficiency of the radio spectrum. Spectrum sensing is the key component of cognitive radio technology. However, detection is compromised when a user experiences shadowing or fading effects. In such cases, user cannot distinguish between an unused band and a deep fade. Thus, cooperative spectrum sensing is propose...
