The grail of next-generation wireless networks is providing real-time services for delay-sensitive applications, which require that the wireless networks provide QoS guarantees. The effective capacity (EC) proposed by Wu and Negi provides a powerful tool for design of QoS provisioning mechanisms. In this paper, we intend to generalize their formula for the effective capacity of a correlated Ray...

Multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) combines multicarrier transmission with direct sequence spread spectrum. Recently, different approaches have been adopted which do not assume a perfectly known channel. In this paper, we examine the forward-link performance of decision-directed adaptive detection schemes, with and without explicit channel estimation, for MC-CDMA systems opera...

In this paper, we propose a polar coding scheme for secure communication over the multiple-input, single-output, single-antenna eavesdropper (MISOSE) fading channel. We consider the case of block fading channels with known eavesdropper channel state information (CSI) and the case of fading channels with known eavesdropper channel distribution information (CDI). We use the artificial noise assis...

A general approach that allows the extension of an CRB-achieving unbiased frequency estimator developed for the AWGN channel to be used for the multipath fading channel by using a periodic transmit sequence is given. The optimality of its performance is guaranteed in a multipath fading channel under certain conditions. The proposed method has low complexity but a reduced frequency operating ran...

One channel model that characterises multipath fading efiFect of a wireless channel is called Flat Rayleigh Fading channel model. Given the properties of Flat Rayleigh Fading channel, an equation to find the capacity of a Flat Rayleigh fading channel with hard decision decoding is derived. The difference of power requirement to achieve the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) capacity over a Fl...

In fixed-to-fixed channel, it is widely assumed that the channel is stationary in time for above rooftop LOS propagation. This assumption is based on the fact that surrounding buildings are the main cause of multipath fading. However, the channel become quasi-stationary in time especially at lower receiving height (below rooftop) and for cases where moving objects are in the vicinity of receivi...

In this paper, an accurate and computationally efficient algorithm is proposed for estimating time-varying and frequency-selective fading channel with unequally spaced pilot symbols. By employing the time-varying coefficient polynomial interpolation method, it is proved that the time-varying channel impulse response can be estimated by the product of a constant interpolation matrix and the fadi...

A key element for many fading-compensation techniques is long-range prediction of the fading channel. A linear approach, usually used to model the time evolution of the fading process, does not perform well for long-range prediction. In this article, we propose an adaptive channel prediction algorithm using a state-space approach for the fading process based on the sum-sinusoidal model. Our sim...

The principle objective of this work is to enhance the knowledge about channel estimation and to compare the existing channel estimation techniques under different channel conditions. Normally the received signal is corrupted by the channel (Multipath, ISI). The estimation of a time-varying multipath fading channel is a difficult task for the receiver. Its performance can be improved if an appr...

Coherent detection of received signals is required for turbo decoding. In this paper, we combine iterative channel estimation with Turbo decoding. Two combinations are considered in this paper. One is called outer-turbo channel estimation (OTCE), in which iterative channel estimation is carried out before turbo decoding. The other is called inner-turbo channel estimation (ITCE), in which channe...
