Yayın Cognitive cooperative MAC with one primary and two secondary users: achievable rates and optimal power control(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2014-11) Edemen, Çağatay; Kaya, OnurWe consider a three-user fading cognitive cooperative multiple access channel (MAC) with one primary and two secondary transmitters. We propose two encoding/decoding strategies with varying levels of cooperation, based on block Markov superposition encoding and backward decoding. The first is an overlay model, where the secondary users (SUs) aid the transmission of the primary user (PU) by causally decoding the PU message and forwarding it while also cooperating among each other. The second is an underlay model, where the SUs cooperate by decoding and forwarding each other's messages while treating the signal received from the PU as noise. In either case, the PU is guaranteed to operate at its maximum achievable single user rate. We characterize the achievable SU rate region for both models and maximize this region as a function of the transmit powers. The simulation results show that the SU rate region can be significantly enlarged, particularly using the overlay model.Yayın Optimal primary-secondary user pairing and power allocation in cognitive cooperative multiple access channels(IEEE, 2014) Bakşi, Saygın; Kaya, OnurWe develop jointly optimal power control and primary-secondary user partnering strategies for a cognitive cooperative multiple access channel with K primary and K secondary users. For each primary user, a cooperating secondary user is assigned. We consider both underlay and overlay modes for cognition/cooperation. In overlay mode, each secondary user decodes and relays part of its assigned primary user's message, and simultaneously transmits its own independent message, while ensuring the primary user achieves at least its single user capacity with power control. The encoding is based on channel adaptive block Markov superposition coding, where the powers assigned to primary and secondary user codewords are optimized so as to maximize either the system's sum rate, or the sum of secondary users' rates. In underlay mode, each secondary user employs independent signalling and allocates its power to maximize its own rate, without decreasing its assigned primary user's rate. The partnering problem for either mode is reduced to a maximum weighted matching (MWM) problem on a bipartite graph, and solved jointly optimally with the power allocation problem.Yayın Power control for fading cooperative multiple access channels(IEEE, 2007-08) Kaya, Onur; Ulukuş, ŞennurFor a fading Gaussian multiple access channel with user cooperation, we obtain the power allocation policies that maximize the average rates achievable by block Markov superposition coding, subject to average power constraints. The optimal policies result in a coding scheme that is simpler than the one for a general multiple access channel with generalized feedback. This simpler coding scheme also leads to the possibility of formulating an otherwise non-concave optimization problem as a concave one. Using the perfect channel state information available at the transmitters to adapt the powers, we demonstrate gains over the achievable rates for existing cooperative systems.Yayın The investigation of the effect of saturation flow on the average vehicle delay at signalized intersections(Izmir Democracy University, 2021-12-18) Çakıcı, Ziya; Aksoy, GökerSaturation flow (s) is one of the most important parameters used for determining of signal timings at signalized intersections. Therefore, this parameter directly affects the various intersection performance criteria such as queue length, average delay, the level of service and capacity. In this study, determination of the effect of saturation flow rate on the average vehicle delay is aimed. In the scope of the study, firstly, an optimization model which minimizes the average vehicle delay at the intersection is set. Then, a software which optimizes the signal timings at the intersection by using Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) is prepared in MATLAB environment. In the second stage, 15 traffic volume scenarios which have different total traffic volume from each other for a four-leg signalized intersection are created in order to test different traffic cases. Created scenarios are classified in 3 groups as Low Volume (LV), Moderate Volume (MV) and High Volume (HV). In the next stage, each scenario is analyzed considering 9 different saturation flow rates (s=1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950, 2000 vehicle/hour/lane), separately. In case of implementing of these saturation flow rates, obtained signal optimum timings and average vehicle delay for each scenario are evaluated in details. In the last stage of the study, the average vehicle delays obtained by using s=1800 vehicle/hour/lane which is frequently encountered in many studies in the literature are compared with the average vehicle delays obtained by using other saturation flow rates, relatively. As a result of the comparisons, it is determined that the differences between average vehicle delays are quite low (between -0.9% and +1.2%) in case of Low Volume. In case of Moderate Volume, differences between -20.8% and +37.2% are seen. In case of High Volume, it can be said that the differences change between -41.4% and +116.3%. This situation clearly demonstrate that accurate and faultless measurement of saturation flow rate is quite important in terms of the performance of the intersection, especially in case of moderate and high volume.Yayın Associations among adolescents' mindfulness, sympathy, cognitive empathy, and sibling relationships(Sage Publication, 2024-02) Barata, Özge; Acar, İbrahim Hakkı; Bostancı, SelenIn the current study, we examined the direct and indirect paths from mindfulness to adolescents’ sibling relationships through their cognitive empathy and sympathy. The sample consisted of 220 adolescents (50.9 % female) between age of 13 and 17 years (M = 15.86, SD = 0.91). Participants reported their mindfulness (acceptance and awareness), cognitive empathy and sympathy, and sibling relationships. The parallel mediation model revealed that mindful awareness and acceptance predicted kindness, involvement, and empathy within sibling relationships through sympathy. In addition, there was a significant indirect effect of mindful awareness to empathy in sibling relationships through cognitive empathy. Findings provided information regarding the importance of indirect contributions of mindfulness to sibling relationships through cognitive empathy and sympathy.
