In this paper, we evaluate the outage performance of a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) where two users on the ground are simultaneously served by a UAV for a spectral efficiency purpose. In practice, hardware impairments at the transceiver cause distortion noise, which results in the performance loss of wireless systems. As a consequence, hardware impairment is an unavoidable factor in the system design process. Hence, we take into account the effects of hardware impairment (HI) on the performance of the proposed system. In this setting, to evaluate the system performance, the closed-form expressions of the outage probability of two NOMA users and the ergodic capacity are derived as well as their asymptotic expressions for a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Finally, based on Monte-Carlo simulations, we verify the analytical expressions and investigate the effects on the main system parameters, i.e., the transmit SNR and level of HI, on the system performance metrics. The results show that the performance for the near NOMA user is better than of that for the far NOMA user in the case of perfect hardware; however, in the case of hardware impairment, an inversion happens at a high transmit power of the UAV in terms of the ergodic capacity.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a full-duplex (FD) amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system with imperfect hardware. Besides the aggregate hardware impairments of the imperfect transceiver, we also consider the impact of residual self-interference (RSI) due to imperfect cancellation at the FD relay node. An analytical framework for analyzing the system performance including exact outage probability (OP), asymptotic OP, and approximate symbol error probability (SEP) is developed. In order to tackle these impacts, we propose an optimal power allocation scheme which can improve the outage performance of the FD relay node, especially at the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Numerical results are presented for various evaluation scenarios and verified using the Monte Carlo simulations.

Stacked Alamouti coding in MIMO wireless communication systems was analyzed through equivalent channel.We derive an upper bound on the portion of the ergodic capacity that the stacked Alamouti scheme can achieve, which is dependent on the ratio of number of transmit antennas to that of receive antennas in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime. As a conclusion, it is shown that the stacked Alamouti scheme can approach the channel capacity as long as the number of transmit antennas is no less than two times that of receive antennas.

This paper investigates the maximal ratio combining (MRC) performance of an amplify and forward (AF) relay system in Nakagami-m fading environments. The study considers a general scenario with distinct m fading parameters for the following three links, source to relay link, and source to destination link and relay to destination link. We derive new closed form expressions for the statistics of important performance metrics, including the moment generating function, outage probability, higher order moments of equivalent signal to noise ratio (SNR), ergodic capacity, and average symbol error probability (SEP) of common modulation types. In particular, we focus on analytical SEP expressions in the context of an additive white generalized Gaussian noise (AWGGN). As an active area of research, generalized noise receives much attention for its flexible model. However, analytical performance of modulation scheme in generalized noise type has not been found in open literature for AF relaying with MRC despite its practical usefulness. Without the help of analytical solutions, the SEP in generalized noise can only be obtained by a large number of repeated simulation experiments. Therefore, we present the general SEP expression by using special Fox’s H function. Simulation results verify the accuracy of our theoretical analysis and show that the diversity order of MRC criterion linearly depends upon Nakagami parameters of three links.

In this Letter, assuming a Nakagami-m fading scenario, closed-form asymptotic expressions for the average symbol error probability (ASEP) of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative systems with partial relay selection are derived. Based on these expressions, the diversity order is obtained and insightful conclusions are drawn. Numerical results are plotted and the asymptotic curves match very well in the medium and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions with those obtained by simulations.


with the increasing demand f the higher data reates the utilization of the MIMO system have exponentially increased in the cellular communication systems. There are many reasons due to which the performance of the MIMO systems degrades in real time. The major challenge is the any kind of noise or erro in the system due to hardware issues and problems. The any kind of hardware error is called as hardware impairment in the systems. These impairments are represented by Kapa values in the systems. Paper is primarily focused to define and evaluate the impact of the hardware impairment on the system performance of MIMO. The paper first defines the basic MIMO systems antenna configurations and then the channel capacity performance is compared with and without hardware impairments. the antenna configurations depends on the number of input and output antenna in the system. As the number of antennas increases the probability of having hardware impairment also increases. This may reduce the capacity performance significantly. New channel capacity formulation is given for antenna configurations. Paper evaluated the performance under the different channel sizes on the capacity. Finally the capacity of the channel is plotted as the function of the different Signal to noise ratios. It is concluded the MIMO system performance is degraded under the presence of the hardware impairments.

Low latency and a massive connection have become the requirements of energy internet wireless communication. Effective capacity analysis of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks with short packets is of vital importance in energy internet communication planning and design. Low-latency communications are one of the main application scenarios in next-generation wireless networks. This paper focuses on the effective capacity of NOMA networks, where the finite blocklength, delay exponent, and transmission error probability are taken into account. New exact and asymptotic expressions of effective capacities are derived for arbitrarily ordered users with a finite blocklength. Based on the analytical results, the high Signal-to-Noise Ratio slopes of effective capacity in NOMA networks are carefully attained. The numerical results validate that (a) non-orthogonal users are capable of obtaining a larger effective capacity when the blocklength decreases, and that (b), as the value of the error probability and delay exponent increases, the effective capacity of non-orthogonal users worsens.

Introduction: Surrounding spherical loudspeaker arrays facilitate the application of various spatial audio reproduction methods and can be used for a broad range of acoustic measurements and perceptual evaluations. Methods: Installed in an anechoic chamber, the design and implementation of such an array of 68 coaxial loudspeakers, sampling a spherical cap with a radius of 1.35 m on an equal-area grid, is presented. A network-based audio backbone enables low-latency signal transmission with low-noise amplifiers providing a high signal-to-noise ratio. To address batch-to-batch variations, the loudspeaker transfer functions were equalised by individually designed 512-taps finite impulse response filters. Time delays and corresponding level adjustments further helped to minimise radial mounting imperfections. Results: The equalised loudspeaker transfer functions measured under ideal conditions and when mounted, their directivity patterns, and in-situ background noise levels satisfy key criteria towards applicability. Advantages and shortcomings of the selected decoders for panning-based techniques, as well as the influence of loudspeaker positioning errors, are analysed in terms of simulated performance metrics. An evaluation of the achievable channel separation allows deriving recommendations of feasible subset layouts for loudspeaker-based binaural reproduction. Conclusion: The combination of electroacoustic properties, simulated sound field synthesis performance and measured channel separation classifies the system as suitable for its target applications.

By enabling reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), we can deploy intelligent reflecting signals from the base station to destinations. Different from traditional relaying system, RIS relies on programmable metasurfaces and mirrors to improve system performance of destinations. We derive the formulas of main system performance metrics such as ergodic capacity and symbol error rate (SER). Based on types of modulation, we need to demonstrate other parameters which make influence to system performance. We show analytically that the number of reflecting elements along with the transmit power at the source can improve system performance. Moreover, we check the exactness of derived expressions by matching Monte-Carlo with analytical simulations. Finally, we find the best performance can be achieved at specific parameters and results are verified by explicit simulations.

<div>This work presents a performance analysis on cooperative non-orthogonal multiple accesses (C-NOMA) when assisted with energy harvesting enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. In particular, two scenarios are considered, an outdoor-indoor one, where the NOMA signal propagates through outdoor-to-indoor, and a conventional outdoor scenario where the channel gains follow a k-u generalized fading model. The objectives of this work is to analyze the downlink performance of this C-NOMA system and derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP), ergodic capacity (EC), throughput and energy efficiency (EE) for the users assuming imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). In particular, the OP approach considers the individual users’ rate where it is required to satisfy certain quality of service (QoS) requirements. The results provide insights into the considered performance metrics relative to key parameters such as power allocation, power splitting factor, fading parameters, and residual interference. Extensive simulations results are presented to validate the accuracy of the derived expressions.</div>

This paper investigates the joint impact of channel estimation errors (CEEs) and hardware impairments (HIs) on the performance of a cognitive satellite-terrestrial relay network (CSTRN), where the terrestrial and satellite links are considered following Rayleigh fading and shadowed Rician (SR) fading distributions, respectively. Besides, the terrestrial relay is working in half-duplex decode-and-forward (DF) mode. By employing a general and practical model to account for both the CEEs and HIs at each link, the end-to-end signal-to-noise-plus-distortion-and-error ratio (SNDER) is first obtained for the CSTRN. Then, closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP) and throughput of the CSTRN are obtained, which allows us to demonstrate the aggregate impact of CEEs and HIs. In order to gain insightful findings, we further elaborate on the asymptotic OP and throughput at the high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) condition and quantitatively determine the fundamental performance ceiling. Finally, Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations are provided to verify the correctness of the analytical results. Besides, with representative numerical analysis’s help, interesting findings are presented.
