The technique is based on the existing on-demand ad hoc routing protocols with the addition of power model. The unique feature of the technique is that mobile nodes will be able to evaluate their power status to decide if they are fit for packet forwarding and reception. This is illustrated using computational approach supported by computer simulations over mobile ad hoc wireless network containing 18 mobile nodes. The proposed technique is incorporated into the Ad Hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols. The results showed that using power saving technique reduces power consumption to more than 15% rate at which mobile nodes achieved with no much delay in the network as compared to the conventional network configured with AODV and DSR routing protocols.

An improved co-channel interference model, which includes the second tier co-channel interfering cells is used for the analysis. The system performance is measured in terms of the uplink information capacity of a time-division multiple access (TDMA) based cellular wireless system. The analysis and simulation results show that the second tier cochannel interfering cells become active at higher microwave carrier frequencies and smaller cell size radius. The results show that for both distance-dependent: path loss, shadowing and effective road height the uplink information capacity of the cellular wireless system decreases as carrier frequency f c increases and cell size radius R decreases. For example at a carrier frequency f c = 15.75 GHz, basic path loss exponent α = 2 and cell size radius R = 100, 500 and 1000 m the decrease in information capacity was 20, 5.29 and 2.68%.

The protocol is based on the conventional ondemand ad hoc routing protocols with the addition of power model. The algorithm design and development is aimed to incorporate the transmitted power consumption function in such a manner that mobile nodes are able to evaluate their power status to decide if they are fit for packet forwarding and reception. This is illustrated through analytical approach supported by computer simulations over mobile ad hoc wireless network containing 80 mobile nodes. The results showed that power savings of 50% were achieved with no delay in the network and increased throughput performance by 60%, as compared to a network with conventional ad hoc on-demand distance vector and dynamic source routing protocols.

Simulation results shows that as the path loss exponent of the propagation model increases the received signal power at individual mobile nodes also increases. The path loss exponent had no effect on the end-to-end throughput of the DSR protocol for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks.

Numerical and simulation results presented illustrate how the performance of an ad hoc network protocol drastically changes as a result of changing the mobility model and ambient noise level in the network. The simulation results showed that, in the presence of ambient noise level in the network, AODV and DSR protocols have a significant improvement in end-to-end delay reduction with 68.5 % for AODV and 86.8% for DSR respectively. The network load simulation result revealed that DSR protocol maintains a constant routing load while the AODV protocol shows a 75% drop in routing load.

Research paper thumbnail of Minimum Cell Size for Information Capacity Increase in Cellular Wireless Network

The results show that as the cell size radius R reduces to 300 m and less, the proposed interference model show a 5.76-18.89 % decrease in the information capacity per unit cost (£, $, etc) at microwave carrier frequencies f c > 3.35 GHz. This result illustrates that there is a theoretical limit to cell size reduction in relation to information capacity performance and cost. An inductive approach is used to generate a formula for calculating the number of co-channel interfering cells N n in a cellular wireless site layout. Such a formula allows one to calculate the number of co-channel interfering cells in subsequent tiers of a cellular wireless site layout. The geometric derivation shows that the number of co-channel interfering cell N n in a subsequent tier is the product of the number of co-channel interfering cells in the first tier N I and the tier number n. Thus, the number of co-channel interfering cell in a subsequent tier N n = N I × n. This formula enables subsequent tier co-channel interference to be included in the information capacity analysis of future and emerging, and finding the minimum cell size for information capacity increase in a cellular wireless communication system.

The two-slope path loss model and the uplink information capacity of the cellular network is used for the performance analysis. Results show that for carrier frequencies greater than 2 GHz and smaller cell radius multiple tier of co-channel interfering cells become active as compared to carrier frequencies lesser than 2 GHz. The multiple tier of co-channel interfering cells, leads to a decrease in the information capacity of the cellular wireless network. The results also show that the system performance is sensitive to most of the propagation model parameters such as the basic and extra path loss exponent.

Simulation results shows that Constant Bit Rate (CBR) outperformed Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in all metrics chosen, except for TCP which was able to handle packet delivery in large topologies than CBR, but at the cost of increase in overall delay in the network. From the simulation results it is concluded that, the increase in spurious packet drops in TCP is due to its slow start which invoke its congestion control algorithm.

Several network routing protocols such as Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) have been proposed to facilitate communication in a dynamically changing network area. Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is faced with various challenges such as resource consumption during network routing operation. This paper present results from detailed power measurement studies of MANETs with emphasis on power consumption with different antenna designs. Computational simulation is used to analyse the power consumption in MANET on two platforms i.e network configured with directional and omnidirectional antenna. The simulation results show that networks configured with directional antennas save 68% of the power as compared to networks configured with omni-directional antennas. While 99% packet delivery ratio were achieved with networks configured with directional antenna as compared to network with omnidirectional antenna.

To realize the extension of the MIMO with OFDM, a number of changes are required in the baseband signal processing. The developed adaptive Multiuser Detection in MIMO OFDM(AMUD) scheme performs better compared to non adaptive MIMO OFDM, at low Signal to noise ratio (SNR), it shows good performance in computational complexity, bit error rate (BER) and capacity. Simulation results show that the developed algorithm sum rate capacity is very close to MIMO theoretical upper bound (21.5 bits/s/Hz at signal to noise ratio of 20dB) which strongly indicate it’s applicability to the uplink channel where power transmission at the mobile station is a constraint. The BER performance of the developed scheme shows that, as the number of antenna increases, the 8 x 8 AMUD provides a 2dB gain compared to...
