An effect of phase noise for an indoor wireless system

This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz indoor wireless channel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error (CPE) and inter-carrier interference (ICI). In this paper, the phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm in order to reduce the phase noise in OFDM-based 60 GHz WPANs is considered. The PNS algorithm is very simple and easily designed to realize system but it requires more effort to reduce the IC.     

Distribution of Path Loss for Wireless Personal Networks Operating in a Square Region

Path loss plays fundamental roles in system design, spectrum management, and performance evaluation. The traditional path loss model has a slight inconvenience; it depends on the unknown distance. In this letter, we explore the probability distribution function (PDF) of path loss in an indoor office environment by randomizing out the distance variable. It is shown that the resulting PDF is not Gaussian‐like but is skewed to the right, and both the PDF and the moments are related to the size of the office instead of the unknown distance. To be specific, we incorporate the IEEE 802.15.4a channel parameters into our model and tabulate the cumulative distribution function with respect to different room sizes. Through a simple example, we show how our model helps a cognitive spectrum user to infer path loss information of primary users without necessarily knowing their transmitter‐receiver distance.     

Performance Study on ZigBee‐Based Wireless Personal Area Networks for Real‐Time Health Monitoring

When multiple ZigBee wireless personal area networks (WPANs) are in close proximity to each other, contentions and collisions in transmissions will lead to increased packet delays. However, there is no existing study on how delay performance would be affected in a crowded real‐life environment where each person walking down a busy street would be wearing a ZigBee WPAN. This letter studies the use of ZigBee WPANs in such a real‐life environment for real‐time heart beat monitoring. To be pragmatic, we derived a mobility pattern from the analysis of a real‐life video trace. Then, we estimated the delay performance from the video trace by combining data collected from ZigBee experiments. The results show that the 300 ms packet delay requirement will not be met for only 11% of the time. When failure occurs, it will last for an average duration of 1.4 s.     

Modelling,Performance Analysis and Design of WPAN Systems

This paper covers the main issues that must be solved in order to design and analyse the performance of Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) with the aid of simulation tools. We review state-of-the-art channel models to account for small- and large-scale propagation conditions in waveform- and system-level simulations. When dealing with waveform simulations, we also look at Montecarlo and importance sampling techniques that allow efficient estimation of error probabilities. Additionally, discrete channel models are introduced to efficiently link both waveform- and system-level approaches and we point out some methods to obtain the model parameters that are suitable for the wireless environment. The discussion of these techniques is complemented with two application examples that show the use of the different simulation levels for system design and performance study. With the paradigm of Bluetooth piconets we illustrate the usefulness of discrete channel models and we consider the design of an OFDM-based WPAN system to exemplify simulation from a waveform-level point of view.

Energy-Efficient Operation through Interference Avoidance for Interconnected Bluetooth WPANs

A Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) provides wireless networking among proximate devices, usually carried by an individual. Bluetooth is a first instance of the WPAN technology. The basic networking entity in Bluetooth is a piconet. Several piconets (WPANs) can be interconnected into a scatternet, which can be considered as an extendable multi-hop ad hoc networking structure. Since Bluetooth operates in the unlicensed ISM band, each piconet uses pseudorandom frequency hopping. If collocated piconets use the same channel simultaneously, the piconets interfere with each other and the transmitted packets are lost in collisions. This interference is termed self-interference. The piconets that are networked into scatternet exhibit spatial overlapping and naturally produce multi-piconet self-interference. The collisions cause retransmissions and increase the energy spent per data portion, which results in energy-inefficient operation. To tackle this problem, in our previous work we have proposed a self-interference avoidance (SIA) mechanism. However, this basic SIA mechanism is oblivious with respect to the physical topology and does not account for the mitigation of self-interference due to the propagation effects. Furthermore, the basic SIA mechanism relies on the assumption that all piconets are using packets of identical and fixed length. In this paper we will generalize the SIA mechanism to overcome the stated restrictions. We propose the adaptive SIA (A-SIA) algorithm, which adapts the SIA algorithm to the actual interference. The simulation results show that A-SIA largely retains the energy gain offered by the SIA algorithm, while significantly improving the goodput. We also design an instance of the SIA mechanism that operates with variable-length packets, referred as generalized SIA (G-SIA) algorithm. Our simulation results show that the G-SIA algorithm offers good performance in terms of goodput and energy efficiency, but the goodput is degraded if inappropriate segmentation/reassembly policy is used.
