Mobile wireless communication is susceptible to signal blockage, which is loss of signal, typically due to physical obstruction, over a longer duration relative to fading. Measurements indicate that blockage has a significant impact on reliability in both open and rural areas. Reliable multicast, a transport layer mechanism, attempts to gain networ...

... mechanisms to extend blockage to the general case of multiple receivers have been considered. The first and conceptually simplest is a double Markov model show in Fig. 3. The blockage Markov model for a single receiver is encapsulated within each state of a double Markov model. The leftmost state is a common blockage model shared by all receivers while the rightmost state is the individual model unique to each receiver. The dc parameter impacts the degree to which receivers are correlated. In Fig. 4, ...

In this paper, we study erasure coding for ultra-low power wireless networks with power consumption in order of milliwatts. We propose sparse parallel concatenated coding (SPCC) scheme, in which we optimize sparsity and ratio of coded packets over GF(2) (i.e., Galois field of size two) and larger field size such as GF(32) for different values of k...

A demonstration of ultraviolet-B (UVB) communication link is implemented utilizing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). The demonstration is based on a 294-nm UVB-light-emitting-diode (UVB-LED) with a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 9 nm and light output power of 190 μW, at 7 V, with a specia...

Wireless communication systems using Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) suffer from modulo operation error in noisy environments. The error causes fatal performance degradation when soft-input forward error correction is applied because the conventional soft demappers provide unreliable log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values. In this paper, we propose...

Real-time traffic will be a predominant traffic type in the next generation networks, and networks with 100% reliability and availability will be required by real-time premium traffic. It is believed that QoS guarantees could be better provided by connection oriented networks such as Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). These connection oriented networks are more vulnerable to network failure. Conventional path protection methods perform re-routing to cope with this. However, re-routing always causes packet losses and results in service outage. These losses are bursty in nature and highly degrade the QoS of the real-time premium traffic. Thus, 100% availability cannot be achieved by conventional methods. The novel path protection proposed in this paper recovers the bursty packet losses due to re-routing by using forward error correction (FEC) path. Therefore, it can provide network architecture with no service outage for such traffic. The numerical results show that the proposed method can achieve a very high availability for real-time premium traffic in future IP/MPLS networks.
