Full-duplex relay selection in cognitive underlay networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We analyze the outage and throughput performance of full-duplex relay selection (FDRS) in underlay cognitive networks. Contrary to half-duplex relaying, full-duplex relaying (FDR) enables simultaneous listening/forwarding ...
Reduced-complexity sparsity-aware joint phase noise mitigation and channel equalization in OFDM receivers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A major performance and complexity limitation in direct-conversion broadband wireless transceivers is the phase noise (PN) resulting from the inevitable imperfections in the fabrication process of the crystal oscillator. ...
