  • Applications of RFI modeling
  • Sense and mitigate strategies for coexistence of
    wireless networks and services
  • Sense and avoid strategies for cognitive radio

Backup
Within computing platforms, wireless transceivers
experience radio frequency interference from
clocks and busses
  • Objectives
  • Develop offline methods to improve communication
    performance in presence of computer platform RFI
  • Develop adaptive online algorithms for these
    methods
  • Approach
  • Statistical modeling of RFI
  • Filtering/detection based on estimated model
    parameters

We will use noise and interference interchangeably

Assumptions for RFI Modeling
7
  • Key assumptions for Middleton and Alpha Stable
    modelsMiddleton, 1977Furutsu Ishida, 1961
  • Infinitely many potential interfering sources
    with same effective radiation power
  • Power law propagation loss
  • Poisson field of interferers with uniform
    intensity l
  • Pr(number of interferers M area R)
    Poisson(M lR)
  • Uniformly distributed emission times
  • Temporally independent (at each sample time)
  • Limitations
  • Alpha Stable models do not include thermal noise
  • Temporal dependence may exist

Filtering for Alpha Stable Noise
61
  • Myriad filtering
  • Sliding window algorithm outputs myriad of a
    sample window
  • Myriad of order k for samples x1,x2,,xN
    Gonzalez Arce, 2001
  • As k decreases, less impulsive noise passes
    through the myriad filter
  • As k?0, filter tends to mode filter (output value
    with highest frequency)
  • Empirical Choice of k Gonzalez Arce, 2001
  • Developed for images corrupted by symmetric alpha
    stable impulsive noise

  • Hole punching (blanking) filters
  • Set sample to 0 when sample exceeds threshold
    Ambike, 1994
  • Large values are impulses and true values can be
    recovered
  • Replacing large values with zero will not bias
    (correlation) receiver for two-level
    constellation
  • If additive noise were purely Gaussian, then the
    larger the threshold, the lower the detrimental
    effect on bit error rate
  • Communication performance degrades as
    constellation size (i.e., number of bits per
    symbol) increases beyond two

  • Impulse noise with impulse event followed by

  • Coding may improve communication performance
  • In multicarrier modulation, impulsive event in

    reducing effect of impulse
  • Complex number (CN) codes Lang, 1963
  • Unitary transformations
  • Gaussian noise is unaffected (no change in 2-norm
    Distance)
  • Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
    is a special case Inverse Fourier Transform
  • As number of subcarriers increase, impulsive
    noise case approaches the Gaussian noise case
