A Method of Characterizing Radio Signal Space for Wireless Device Localization

In this work we present a novel approach for describing radio signal spaces for localization algorithms.We first introduce a new metric, the Discretely Distributed Log-H ¨older Metric(DDLHM). The DDLHM is designed to characterize the type and degree of signal distortion relative to lognormal signal-to-distance path models. We first show how the DDLHM can describe and discriminate distortions in an exhaustive set of synthetic signal spaces.We then determine a reduced set of maximally diagnostic distortion parameters. Using only 4% of the maximal set of DDLHMs, we found the reduced set matches with an acceptable degree of error 95% of the time. Using the synthetic reduced set, we characterized a variety of wireless localization algorithms' behaviors to attenuation, bias,and multipath. We found algorithms made much different tradeoffs between best case and average case error. We then use the DDLHM to identify distortion types in three different physical environments using measured 802.11 signal strengths, and predict the positioning performance of several localization algorithms. Our approach predicts average localization error to within 2 meters of the observed average error.     

Improved MIMO-OFDM scheme for the next generation WLAN

The research and application of wireless local area networks (WLAN) technology are in a stage of rapid development. It has been one of research focuses of the wireless communications field. Through the use of enhanced single-user (SU)/multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, the next generation WLAN IEEE 802.11ac dramatically increases the throughput. An improved MIMO-OFDM scheme based on modulation diversity is proposed for the next generation WLAN. It uses two-dimensional modulation diversity to the current IEEE 802.11ac transmission scheme. Through the space-time-frequency component interleaver and the rotational modulation, the proposed scheme exhibits high spectral efficiency and low error rate in fading channels. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the SU/MU MIMO-OFDM scheme in the current IEEE 802.11ac standard, which is up to 5 dB.

基于IEEE 802.11协议的P概率退避算法研究

针对IEEE 802.11 DCF提出一种P概率退避算法P_PBA（P-persistert backoff algorithm）。P_PBA基本思想是网络终端执行退避算法时计算出时隙利用率和概率P,在终端每次成功发送后,终端的发送竞争窗口大小以概率P回到初始值,否则以概率1－P保持竞争窗口大小不变。P_PBA解决了IEEE 802.11协议没有记录网络竞争程度问题,有效地降低碰撞概率,提高网络性能。仿真结果表明,P_PBA在保持高的吞吐量的同时维持较小的接入时延。
