Channel Estimation for Multiuser Mimo-ofdm System

-- K Jayanthi and P Dananjayan

Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems with multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver are anticipated to be widely employed in future wireless networks due to their predicted tremendous system capacity. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier modulation technique which takes the benefits of high spectral efficiency, resiliency to RF interference, and lower multi-path distortion. The combination of MIMO-OFDM is very natural and beneficial since OFDM enables support of more antennas and larger bandwidths. To protect the transmitted data against random channel impairments, it is desirable to employ Link Adaptation (LA). To perform LA, the transmitter should know the prevailing channel state information. Generally, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is used as a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) but in complex MIMO-OFDM systems, this is not sufficient. Therefore, more advanced channel quality indicators such as instantaneous SNR, Shannon capacity and Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) values are to be considered for efficient link adaptation. The main objective of this paper is to estimate the channel information using LS and QR Decomposition (QRD) algorithm. And also to enhance the performance of the multiuser MIMO-OFDM system in terms of quality and capacity using an efficient link adaptation technique mechanism. The obtained simulation results also prove that the quality of the system is highly enhanced by using channel estimation algorithms.

Receiver Position Error Analysis Using Point Solution Approach Algorithm

-- V Venkata Rao, G Sasibhushana Rao and M Madhavi Latha

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become the main tool in positioning and Earth measurement applications, and its accuracy relies in the precise knowledge of the satellite orbits and time. Different approaches have been developed to estimate the receiver position. In this paper a non-recursive point solution approach algorithm is proposed for the receiver position estimation. The receiver position is estimated without considering the various error sources namely satellite clock bias, atmospheric delay, error in the broadcast ephemeris data, multipath error and receiver tracking error. The results are analyzed by computing the mean position (), standard deviation (s) and variance (s2) over a period of the day and the results obtained are very promising. The error analysis is carried out by collecting the several days of dual frequency (1575.42 MHz and 1227.6 MHz) GPS receiver data from the Andhra University Engineering College, Visakhapatnam (Latitude/Longitude 17.73o/83.32o). The position error analysis studied in this paper will be helpful to surveyors and GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) users over the Indian subcontinent in determining the obtained position accuracy over the 24 hour period particularly for aircraft purposes.

Simulation, Design and Development of Complementary-Symmetry Microstrip Antenna for Compactness, Enhanced Gain, Bandwidth and Low Cross-Polarization

-- N M Sameena, G P Maddani, R B Konda,
S K Satnoor and S N Mulgi

This paper presents a novel design of Complementary-Symmetry rectangular Microstrip Antenna (CSMA) with modified ground plane for compactness, enhanced gain, bandwidth and low cross-polarization operation. A 58% size compactness is achieved when compared with the conventional rectangular microstrip antenna. The antenna operates for 18.78% of bandwidth and gives maximum of 8.21 dB gain. The cross-polar power level of _22.9 dB down is obtained with respect to co-polar. The effect of complementary-symmetry geometry and modified ground plane for improving the antenna parameters is studied and reported. The experimental results are in agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antennas may find applications in wireless communication systems.

A Study on the Performance of Wideband Bandpass Filter Designed Using Multimode Resonator with Etched Rectangular Lattice

-- P K Singhal, Suman Mathur and R N Baral

A compact wideband bandpass filter is proposed and implemented using a Multiple-Mode Resonator (MMR) with etched rectangular lattice, aiming to obtain a wide-passband of 0.9 GHz-2.1 GHz. For the microstrip bandpass filter the return loss is found to be higher than 10 dB. After optimization, a good wideband bandpass behavior with three transmission poles is realized theoretically and experimentally. The measured results are found to be in good agreement with the analytical values.

Fuzzy Set Optimization Technique for Virtual Topology Reconfiguration for IP-over-WDM Networks with QoS Parameters

-- Ramasamy Mariappan, T Ravi and R S D Wahida Banu

The paper studies the application of fuzzy set optimization techniques for the reconfiguration of optical internets using Internet Protocol (IP) over Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) (IP-over-WDM) technology. The IP-over-WDM networking technology with terabits per second bandwidth become a natural choice for the future generation internet networks (optical internets), Wide Area Network (WAN) environments and backbone networks due to its potential ability to meet the rising demand of high bandwidth and low latency communication. Recently, Virtual Topology Reconfiguration (VTR) of IP-over-WDM networks has received greater attention among researchers. Fuzzy set finds many applications in the field of network engineering, which includes linear programing, traffic prediction, network modeling, traffic modeling, etc. In this paper, we have presented a new approach for reconfiguring virtual topology of IP-over-WDM networks using fuzzy set optimization technique. The computed results show that this new approach achieves better performance in terms of computational accuracy, number of changes and Average Weighted Hop Count (AWHT).

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs): The Changing Face of Banking in India

Bank Management
Information and communication technology has changed the way in which banks provide services to its customers. These days the customers are able to perform their routine banking transactions without even entering the bank premises. ATM is one such development in recent years, which provides remote banking services all over the world, including India. This paper analyzes the development of this self-service banking in India based on the secondary data.

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a very important role in the progress and advancement in almost all walks of life. The deregulated environment has provided an opportunity to restructure the means and methods of delivery of services in many areas, including the banking sector. The ICT has been a focused issue in the past two decades in Indian banking. In fact, ICTs are enabling the banks to change the way in which they are functioning. Improved customer service has become very important for the very survival and growth of banking sector in the reforms era. The technological advancements, deregulations, and intense competition due to the entry of private sector and foreign banks have altered the face of banking from one of mere intermediation to one of provider of quick, efficient and customer-friendly services. With the introduction and adoption of ICT in the banking sector, the customers are fast moving away from the traditional branch banking system to the convenient and comfort of virtual banking. The most important virtual banking services are phone banking, mobile banking, Internet banking and ATM banking. These electronic channels have enhanced the delivery of banking services accurately and efficiently to the customers. The ATMs are an important part of a bank’s alternative channel to reach the customers, to showcase products and services and to create brand awareness. This is reflected in the increase in the number of ATMs all over the world. ATM is one of the most widely used remote banking services all over the world, including India. This paper analyzes the growth of ATMs of different bank groups in India.
International Scenario

If ATMs are largely available over geographically dispersed areas, the benefit from using an ATM will increase as customers will be able to access their bank accounts from any geographic location. This would imply that the value of an ATM network increases with the number of available ATM locations, and the value of a bank network to a customer will be determined in part by the final network size of the banking system. The statistical information on the growth of branches and ATM network in select countries.

Indian Scenario

The financial services industry in India has witnessed a phenomenal growth, diversification and specialization since the initiation of financial sector reforms in 1991. Greater customer orientation is the only way to retain customer loyalty and withstand competition in the liberalized world. In a market-driven strategy of development, customer preference is of paramount importance in any economy. Gone are the days when customers used to come to the doorsteps of banks. Now the banks are required to chase the customers; only those banks which are customercentric and extremely focused on the needs of their clients can succeed in their business today.
