Coherence Time in Wireless Communication

 

For Example, vehicular communication operates on highly dynamic condition where communication nodes are not like common cellular networks because, here channel is time-varying and network topology also varies fast due to high mobility. If mobility is high, then channel impulse response varies fast, that dramatically reduces the coherence time in compare to common cellular networks. Coherence time is denoted by in wireless communication Channel Impulse Responses (CIRs) experiences almost same attenuation in a particular time interval during data transmission. As dynamic channel impulse response is changing very fast, so obtaining high beamforming gain also becomes challenging. Hence, we need to estimate the time-varying channel in extremely short time duration.

Future self-driving cars would need up to 1 TB of data per hour of driving, with data speeds above 750 Mbit/s. This highlights the limitations of modern wireless technologies for automotive data sharing and justifies the use of mm wave spectrum for greater data availability and reduced latency due to the much wider bandwidth allocations. Moreover, as a supporter of the concept of fully connected vehicles, the NLOS transmission is a major issue for mm-wave communication. 5G communication is growing interest in the automotive industry due to its low latency and larger bandwidth spectrum.

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...

Design of CMOS Flip-Flops (SR, D, JK)

Design of CMOS Flip-Flops (SR, D, JK) A flip-flop or latch is a circuit with two stable states, used to store state information. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic and a fundamental building block in digital electronics systems, including computers and communication devices. Flip-flops and latches act as data storage elements for states, pulse counting, and synchronization of variably-timed input signals to a reference clock. Flip-flops can be transparent/opaque (latches) or clocked (synchronous, edge-triggered). Latches are level-sensitive, while flip-flops are edge-sensitive. In sequential logic, the output depends on current inputs and previous states. Fig.1 shows a sequential circuit combining a combinational block and a memory element. ...

Q-function in BER vs SNR Calculation (with Simulation)

Q-function in BER vs. SNR Calculation In digital communications and signal processing, the Q-function plays a significant role in predicting system reliability. It allows engineers to quantify the probability that Gaussian noise will exceed a specific threshold, causing a bit error. What is the Q-function? The Q-function is a mathematical function representing the tail probability of the standard normal (Gaussian) distribution. It is the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of a standard Gaussian distribution. Q(x) = (1 / √(2Ï€)) ∫â‚“∞ e^(-t² / 2) dt The Role of the Q-function in BER vs. SNR The Q-function is the standard tool for calculating BER in systems like BPSK or QPSK over AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channels. For BPSK: In BPSK, we transmit +√E b (bit 1) and -√E b (bit 0). The decision boundary is set at 0 . If -√E b was sent, an error occurs if noise r > √...
