Which Signal-to-Noise Ratio Is Used in Simulations? Transmitter Side versus Receiver Side: A Study Based on Long Term Evolution Downlink Transmission

The bit error rate (BER) in relation to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) serves as a widely recognized metric for assessing the performance of communication systems. The concept of SNR is so integral that many existing studies presume its definition to be understood, often omitting the specifics of its calculation in their simulations. Notably, the computation of SNR from the perspective of the transmitter yields distinct behaviors and outcomes compared to that from the receiver’s side, particularly when the channel encompasses more than mere noise. Typically, research papers utilize the transmitter-side (or ensemble-average) SNR to benchmark the BER performance across various methodologies. Conversely, the receiver-side (or short-term) SNR becomes pertinent when prioritizing the receiver’s performance. In the context of simulating the long-term evolution (LTE) downlink, applying both SNR calculation approaches reveals that the receiver-side SNR not only produces a significantly lower BER compared to the transmitter-side SNR but also alters the relative BER performance rankings among the channel models tested. It is deduced that while the transmitter-side SNR is apt for broad performance comparisons, it falls short in thoroughly examining the BER behavior of a receiver across varying SNR scenarios. Therefore, the transmitter-side SNR is useful when comparing the performance of the simulated system with other studies. Conversely, if the primary concern is the actual BER performance of the receiver, the receiver-side SNR could provide a more accurate performance assessment. Full article

The classification of the natural and anthropogenic destabilizing factors of a telecommunications network as a complex system is presented herein. This research shows that to evaluate the parameters of a telecommunications network in the presence of destabilizing factors, it is necessary to modify classical linear methods to reduce their sensitivity to the incompleteness of a priori information. Using generalized linear models of multiple regression, a combined method was developed for assessing and predicting the survivability of a telecommunications network under conditions of uncertainty regarding the influence of destabilizing factors. The method consists of accumulating current information about the parameters and state of the network, the statistical analysis and processing of information, and the extraction of sufficient sample statistics. The basis of the developed method was balancing multiple correlation–regression analysis with the number of regression equations and the observed results. Various methods of estimating the mathematical expectation and correlation matrix of the observed results under the conditions of random loss of part of the observed data (for example, removing incomplete sample elements, substituting the average, pairwise crossing out, and substituting the regression) were analyzed. It was established that a shift in the obtained estimates takes place under the conditions of a priori uncertainty of the statistics of the observed data. Given these circumstances, recommendations are given for the correct removal of sample elements and variables with missing values. It is shown that with significant unsteadiness of the parameters and state of the network under study and a noticeable imbalance in the number of regression equations and observed results, it is advisable to use stepwise regression methods.

With the constant growth of software-defined radio (SDR) technologies in fields related to wireless communications, the need for efficient ways of testing and evaluating the physical-layer (PHY) protocols developed for these technologies in real-life traffic scenarios has become more critical. This paper proposes a software testbed that enhances the creation of network environments that allow GNU radio applications to be fed with test traffic in a simple way and through an interoperable interface. This makes the use of any traffic generator possible—existing ones or one that is custom-built—to evaluate a GNU radio application. In addition, this paper proposes an efficient way to collect PHY-specific monitoring data to improve the performance of the critical components of the message delivery path by employing the protocol buffers library. This study considers the entire testing and evaluation ecosystem and demonstrates how PHY-specific monitoring information is collected, handled, stored, and processed as time series to allow complex visualization and real-time monitoring.

With the rapid development of wireless communication networks and Internet of Things technology (IoT), higher requirements have been put forward for spectrum resource utilization and system performance. In order to further improve the utilization of spectrum resources and system performance, this paper proposes an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted fair energy allocation algorithm for cognitive multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless-powered networks. The goal of this paper is to maximize the minimum energy receiving power in the energy receiver, which is constrained by the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) threshold of the information receiver in the secondary network, the maximum transmission power at the cognitive base station (CBS), and the interference power threshold of the secondary network on the main network. Due to the coupling between variables, this paper uses iterative optimization algorithms to optimize and solve different variables. That is, when solving the active beamforming variables, the passive beamforming variables are fixed; then, the obtained active beamforming variables are fixed, and the passive beamforming variables are solved. Through continuous iterative optimization, the system converges. The simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Full article
