This paper presents an uplink capacity analysis and interference avoidance technique for a femtocell based two-tier DS-CDMA network using shared spectrum. Assuming randomly distributed macrocell users and femtocell base stations (BS), we evaluate a
This special issue aims to collect cutting-edge research achievements in this area. We solicited papers that present original and unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: physical layer models, for example, channel mo
Many electric distribution organizations are presently evaluating their approach to integrating three key operational systems – SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), OMS (Outage Management System) and DMS (Distribution Management System)
With the increasing demand of reliable communications on move, cooperative communications has proved to be an efficient solution to reduce the effects of unreliable nature of wireless channel. In this paper, we study the Space-Time (ST) cooperative
In this paper, we present simple opportunistic relaying with decode-and-forward (DaF) and amplify-and-forward (AaF) strategies under an aggregate power constraint. In particular, we consider distributed relay-selection algorithms requiring only loca
This letter derives the asymptotic symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) maximum ratio-combining (MRC) systems. We consider Rayleigh fading channels with both transmit and receive spatial correlation.
In this paper, the end-to-end outage probability of a multihop free space optical (FSO) communication system over N independent Nakagami fading relay channels were analyzed. We assume that the channel state information-based relays have the knowledge
