The vastly growing amount of RF wireless communications standards and respective frequencies will demand the availability of multi-standard transceivers. A multi-frequency RF Front-end receiver supporting EGSM, WCDMA and Mobile WiMAX standards in the range from 935 MHz to 2.69 GHz is presented in this document. The multi-standard architecture aims for maximum hardware sharing and design reuse, adaptable to the various wireless channels and conceived as a reconfigurable smart radio aiming to provide full wireless connectivity in the framework of automotive communication environments. The RF front-end receiver features two CMOS switches and SAW filters for band selection and a shared LNA, I/Q-demodulators and analog baseband chain that meet the specifications spread spectrum (e.g. WCDMA) and OFDM(A) (e.g. WiMAX) systems as well as for the GSM narrow spectrum system with modulation scheme GMSK.

In this paper, a novel approach for data transmission over voice channels (DoV) is presented. The usefulness of this approach stems from the fact that all wireless telecommunication networks have been basically designed to transfer speech and voice. We used this property to cope with the problem of transferring data over voice channels. In our approach, design of voice-like symbols is based on a search algorithm over hi-fi speech records. Using them, it is possible to transfer coded data over any desired voice channel as well as to gain more insight into its performance on privacy. We present methodology of our approach and also give the simulation results over some vocoders of GSM network.

This paper considers the adaptive predistortion of the nonlinear distortions in a Radio over Fiber (RoF) link. In particular, we modify and compare two adaptive algorithms developed originally for the compensation of the linear systems, namely LMS and variable step size normalized LMS (VS NLMS). A recursive least squares (RLS) solution is used as a reference. Our simulation results indicate that over 40 dB improvement of adjacent channel power ratios can be achieved via the predistortion. Furthermore, we show that in the compensation of the nonlinear RoF link, the LMS can be used in such a way that its performance is comparable to more complex RLS.

In this work, better wavelet packet tree structures are searched to reduce the sum of ISI and ICI powers (integrated power) in Daubechies wavelet-based OFDM system over a practical two path low-voltage powerline channel or two way multipath channel. Better wavelet tree structures are obtained by using a brute-force algorithm. Results show that better wavelet packet tree structures perform better than conventional Mallat structures for the same bandwidth occupancy.

Energy dissipation in a Wireless Sensor Network is an active research field. Energy dissipation is related to the network topology and protocol used to route data. So, two criteria are proposed to elect a relay. A linear or a random choice from a set of potential nodes to become a relay based on their energy level above a mean threshold energy. These criteria improve the organization of the node communications and the lifetime of the network. The criteria and the protocol called the Self Organization One Hop Low Energy Clustering Adaptation (SOORLECA) are explained. The SOORLECA is designed for environmental and military monitoring with precise requisite measures at each node. No mean data or smoothing data technique is required at the Sink Node (SN). Random topology of the network for 100 nodes over 100m2 are simulated to show the protocol performances compared to direct transmission of the node to the SN, short routing path and static clustering protocols. The lifetime and the dissipated energy of the network are our criteria to measure the performance of the WSN. It is shown that the SOORLECA ACMET1 improves 2x the lifetime of network with 61% dissipated energy after 50% of nodes have dead.

The UMTS turbo encoder is composed of parallel concatenation of two Recursive Systematic Convolutional (RSC) encoders which start and end at a known state. This trellis termination directly affects the performance of turbo codes. This paper presents performance analysis of multi-point trellis termination of turbo codes which is to terminate RSC encoders at more than one point of the current frame while keeping the interleaver length the same. For long interleaver lengths, this approach provides dividing a data frame into sub-frames which can be treated as independent blocks. A novel decoding architecture using multi-point trellis termination and collision-free interleavers is presented. Collision-free interleavers are used to solve memory collision problems encountered by parallel decoding of turbo codes. The proposed parallel decoding architecture reduces the decoding delay caused by the iterative nature and forward-backward metric computations of turbo decoding algorithms. Our simulations verified that this turbo encoding and decoding scheme shows Bit Error Rate (BER) performance very close to that of the UMTS turbo coding while providing almost %50 time saving for the 2-point termination and %80 time saving for the 5-point termination.

Traditional routing protocols deployed to provide communication among mobile nodes in wireless ad hoc networks (MANET) assume a trust and collaborating environment inside the network. However, this assumption is not always true and a hostile or unprotected environment can seriously affect the protocol and network performance. In this work two kinds of approaches are applied to a well-known routing protocol called SAODV in order to improve its performance and to offer more resilience to attack from malicious nodes authenticated by the network. A preventive approach based on a cryptographic mechanism and a reactive approach to detect the anomalous and malicious behavior of nodes are considered. An extension of SAODV to offer Intrusion Detection mechanism (IDM) and trust-based mechanism (TBM) to promote the collaboration of the cooperating node and penalize the selfish nodes are proposed. The extended and proposed protocol SAODV-SDO is presented and simulation results were performed in order to show the effectiveness of our proposal in comparison with AODV and SAODV.

An accurate real-time application which locates mobile users in an indoor environment is highly demanded in hospitals, warehouses, etc., provided that minor changes in their infrastructure are required. Most present-day location techniques require a great calibration effort, or special devices which are not cost-effective. Avoiding these needs, this paper implements an autonomous positioning technique based on IEEE 802.11 RTS/CTS two-frame exchange in a real scenario. Two estimators of the delay profile measured are analyzed and a linear regression of them at each distance is performed from which the distance between a mobile user and an access point is estimated. Experimental results, without any tracking information nor nonline-of-sight mitigation, reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A method for in-service monitoring of the end-user perceptual speech quality in cellular radio systems is proposed. This method incorporates the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) algorithm to monitor the quality experienced by the end-user. Here, the monitoring is carried out at the transmitting side. In this case, the speech signal received by the end-user is estimated at the transmitter in accordance with a feedback signal. The performance of the proposed scheme has been investigated through extensive simulations for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) using different speech coding rates and channel conditions. The results indicate that the proposed scheme can predict end-user quality with a root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of at most 0.15 using the mean opinion score (MOS) rating scheme. Such accuracy can be beneficial in applications such as radio resource management for satisfying the desired level of quality of service.
