M-ary position and three-valued VMAP modem by Yi JIN, Le-nan WU, Jing YU, Lei DENG

“…In order to improve the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of asymmetry,random-polar and very minimum amplitude and phase (ARP-VMAP) modulated signal simultaneously,an M-ary position and three-valued VMAP modulation was presented,and the receiver based on BP neural network or support vector machine demodulator was also designed.The contrast and analysis of the power spectrum,the −60 dB bandwidth,the spectral efficiency,and the demodulation performance among modulations as the ARP-VMAP,the three-valued VMAP,the M-ary position ARP-VMAP,and the M-ary position and three-valued VMAP,were carried out.Simulation results show that the new modem not only raise spectral efficiency,but also improve demodulation performance significantly.…”

Interference alignment based spectrum sharing and user scheduling for cognitive radio MIMO system by Zhao LI, Jian-dong LI, Qin LIU, Biao SHEN

“…In communication scenario with multiple cognitive radio (CR) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) users,signal processing algorithm was designed based on interference alignment (IA) such that transmissions of cognitive and authorized signal were carried out in mutual orthogonal sub-spaces.Conflict-free utilization of spare spatial channel(s) authorized by primary system was achieved by cognitive user.Moreover,the difference of spatial transmission performance originating from various channel matrices was exploited to implement appropriate user scheduling.Simulation results show that the proposed method can utilize spare spatial channel resource effectively and obtain multiuser diversity gain.On the premise that authorized service is protected from disturbing,transmission rate of cognitive user is improved.…”
