High data rate demands of new generations of communication systems necessitate the use of higher and higher order QAM schemes. However, the nonlinearities in various stages of the transmitter may hinder the performance of higher order QAM and limit the transmission rate enhancements. As observed in many studies in the literature, outermost constellation points are usually more adversely affected by nonlinearities and larger regions of uncertainty form around them. We focus on nonuniform error vector magnitude (EVM) values of QAM symbols in this paper and present achievable rates. Furthermore, we propose a simplified receiver that considers the unequal EVM distribution by splitting the constellation into multiple regions and compare the performance of the receiver to that of a conventional receiver taking into account average EVM.

Network density estimators and density-aware wireless networks Eroğlu, Alperen; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-11) New network architectures and communication technologies continue to emerge to meet rapidly increasing and changing user demands requiring continuous connectivity and high data rate transmissions. These ubiquitous infrastructures result in a paradigm shift in mobile communications with the advent of mobile robots equipped with sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles, and mobile small-cells, which makes the future networks highly dynamic. This dynamism poses unpredictable variations in the network density causing ...
Beamforming Design for Network Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Systems with Multiple Cooperating Base Stations Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-15) New generation cellular systems are required to support high data rates. The performance of conventional systems with a single central base station is limited by inter-cell interference. Furthermore, the network densities grow exponentially and it is not cost-effective for operators to use a large number of fully equipped base stations in small areas. Using multiple cooperating base stations, each equipped with multiple antennas, inter-cell interference can be eliminated by a proper beamforming design. In t...
Wideband low-phase shift digital step attenuators Arash, Ebrahimi Jarihani; Koçer, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Digital Step attenuators are used in many communication systems to regulate the signal level to achieve maximum system performance. The figure of merit of these attenuators are linearity, accuracy, and their power handling capabilities. Attenuators currently offered in the industry performs well to meet stringent requirements of the modern communications systems. However, all step attenuators currently offered introduces a phase-shift with respect to the attenuation setting and frequency. This phase-shift c...
Linearization of RF power amplifiers with memoryless baseband predistortion method Kolcuoğlu, Turusan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In modern wireless communication systems, advanced modulation techniques are used to support more users by handling high data rates and to increase the utilization efficiency of the limited RF spectrum. These techniques are sensitive to the nonlinear distortions due to their high peak to average power ratios. Main source of nonlinear distortion in transmitter topologies are power amplifiers that determine the overall efficiency and linearity of the transmitter. To increase linearity without sacrificing effi...
Performance evaluation of flexray networks for in-vehicle communication Demirci, Ali; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The increasing use of electronic components in today’s automobiles demands more powerful in-vehicle network communication protocols. FlexRay protocol, which is expected be the de-facto standard in the near future, is a deterministic, fault tolerant and fast protocol designed for in vehicle communication. In the near future, safety critical X-by-Wire applications will be available in the automobiles and FlexRay networks can be used to provide communication for the Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that perform...
