    The design of next generation wireless communication systems brings along new challenges, since the degrading factors such as fading and multi-user interference become harder to deal with as the number of users and the bandwidth require- ments increase. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a multiple accessing technique which provides a solution to both of the problems above: it provides a relatively simple way of assigning available bandwidth to users, while avoiding interference; and at the same time, it converts a frequency selective fading channel, to parallel flat fading subchannels, hence reducing the effects of intersymbol interference. However, in wireless channels, what is tradi- tionally considered as interference is in fact side information, and combined with the diversity created by the orthogonal subchannels in OFDMA, this side infor»mation can be carefully taken advantage of to increase the rates achievable by the users. In our thesis, without imposing any prior constraints on subchannel allocation, we investigate cooperation strategies, achievable rates and resource allocation for OFDMA channels. We propose new cooperative encoding strategies for wireless communication net- works över OFDMA channels. We particularly focus on a two user cooperative OFDMA system, based on block Markov superposition encoding (BMSE). We obtain expressions of the resulting achievable rate regions for ali proposed coroperative encoding strategies. We show that, by allowing for re-partitioning and re-encoding of the cooperative messages across subchannels, it is possible to better exploit the diversity created by OFDMA, and higher rates can be achieved. In order to take full advantage of the diversity created by OFDMA, we then introduce a channel adaptive cooperation strategy for OFDMA, and optimize the transmit powers as a function of the channel states. We provide the optimality conditions that need to be satisfied by the powers associated with the users' codewords and derive the closed form expressions for the optimal powers.

    Design and optimization of multiuser cooperative protocols for wireless networks

    Recently, the main trend in wireless communications has shifted from voice transmission to data communication. Naturally, this shift caused an increase in the data rate and bandwidth requirements. Being a limited and thus expensive resource, wireless spectrum needs to be used efficiently. For higher spectral and data rate efficiency, new spectrum allocation policies as well as new transmission techniques are needed. Cooperative and cognitive radios are promising emerging technologies, which can enable efficient spectrum resource utilization as well as high data rate transmission in the next generation wireless networks. This thesis addresses wireless relay networks consisting of multiple cooperative and/or cognitive nodes. The main contribution of this thesis is the extension of cooperative strategies from two users to three user settings, focusing on mutual cooperation. In the first part of this dissertation, we concentrate on a superposition block Markov encoding based three user cooperative communication scheme for a fading Gaussian multiple access channel. We consider all possible channel conditions between users and propose a channel adaptive block Markov encoding strategy. In the second part of this thesis, for the same three user MAC model we discuss a new channel non-adaptive superposition block Markov encoding structure which enables all three users to cooperate collectively as well as in pairs. The proposed cooperation models not only provide increased diversity to all participating users, but also contain as special cases the multiple relay channel and the multiple access relay channel. In the third part, we focus on the joint use of cognition and cooperation. In particular, we consider overlay and underlay cooperative-cognitive radio models with one primary and two secondary users. We extend the cooperative encoding models developed for the three user MAC to the cognitive set-up. In all three problems studied in this thesis, we obtain new and improved achievable rate regions, by cognition and/or cooperation.

    New approaches for channel estimation in wireless communications
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2006-03-10) Şenol, Habib; Bayazıt, Uluğ; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Elektronik Mühendisliği Doktora Programı
    This thesis first proposes a conputationally efficient, pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) batch channel estimation algorthm for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM systems in unkonown wireless fading channels. The batch linear MMSE will be converted to the sequential linear MMSE estimator due to fast convergence property and the simple structure. In addition to OFDM systems, focusing on transmit diversity (OFDM) transmission through frequency selective channels, this thesis pursues a channel estimation approach in time-domain for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems. This thesis also proposes a computationally efficient, pilot aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) time domain batch channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems with transmit diversity in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed batch approaches (with or without transmit diversity) employ a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen Loeve (KL)orthogonal expansion and finds MMSE estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion, no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MMSE estimators . Moreover, optimal rank reduction is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algortihm. The performance of the proposed approaches is studied through analytical and experimental result. Then, in order to explore the performances, the stochastic Cramer- Rao lower bounds are considered for the proposed approaches . The effect of a modelling mismatch on the performance of the estimator is also analyzed.In order to explore the performance of the transmit diversity OFDM systems, the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is also derived for the maximum ratio receive combiner (MRRC) in these systems. Simulations result confirm our theoretical analysis, and illustrate that the proposed channel estimation algorithms for OFDM systems with and without transmit diversity are capable of tracking fast fading and frequency selective fading, respectively and improving overall performance.
