摘要:
A network includes a master node (master) and a set of slave nodes (slaves). The network uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and time division multiple access (TDMA) symbols on sub-carriers. During a first downlink transmission from the master to the set of slaves using downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a broadcast polling packet including data packets for each slave and sub-carrier assignments for the slaves is broadcast. Each slave transmits simultaneously to the master using uplinks and the assigned sub-carriers, a first response packet after receiving the broadcast polling packet. The master then broadcasts using the downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a group acknowledgement packet, wherein the broadcast polling packet, the response packet, and the group acknowledgement packet include one superframe in one communication cycle, and wherein the broadcasting on the downlinks and the transmitting on the uplinks are disjoint in time.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a packet in a wireless communications network is presented. A packet is constructed to include synchronization header, a physical layer header, and a payload. A preamble and a start of frame delimiter are inserted in the synchronization header. Multiple fixed length ternary sequences are inserted in the start of frame delimiter in an arbitrary order, and then the packet is transmitted.

A method selects a route in a wireless cooperative relay network of nodes, the nodes including a source, a set of relays, and a destination. A codeword is encoded as a data stream. The data stream is transmitted from a source to a destination via a set of relays. Mutual information is accumulated at a particular node to decode the data stream and recover the codeword. Then, a route from the source to the destination is selected based on channel state information between the nodes while transmitting and accumulating.

An apparatus, system, method and computer program product for secure ranging between at least two devices in radio communications with each other. In particular, an apparatus, system, method and computer program product for secure ranging between at least two devices communicating via ultra wideband (UWB) protocols. Either ternary-IR or time-hope-IR sequences are used for ranging and security. A first device transmits a range packet. A second device responds to the range packet after a delay time known only to the first and second devices. The delay time can be selected randomly by either to the first device or the second device and made known to the other device in an encrypted notification packet.

A method allocates bandwidth to channels in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access and time division multiple access (TDMA) network. The network includes a master device (master) communicating with a set of slave devices (slaves). The master defines a set Ψm of logical indices ν of a set of N physical subcarriers for a set of M data streams to be allocated to a set of Nd logical data subcarriers according to Ψm={ν|ν=iM+m, i=0,1,2, . . . , d−1}, where d=Nd/M. The set of N data subcarriers is mapped to the set of Nd logical subcarriers according to the logical indices, and the data subcarriers are allocated to the logical subcarriers.
摘要:
In an oversampled orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) orthogonal network, the preamble used for time synchronization does not have an ideal autocorrelation function due to guard bands, which degrade the accuracy of symbol timing. Therefore, a zero-correlation-zone (ZCZ) based preamble is used for time synchronization. Across correlation function (CCF) used for time synchronization is forced to 0 within a certain region around a main lobe. The length of the ZCZ is guaranteed to be larger than a cyclic prefix length of OFDM data symbols synchronization accuracy.
