Passive Steady State RF Fingerprinting-A Cognitive Technique for Scalable Deployment of Co-channel Femto Cell Underlays
Recently, cellular operators have begun evaluating femto cells that aggressively reuse spectrum to cover a small spatial footprint (10m radius). A large-scale femto cell underlay network will increase an operator’s total number of cells by two to three orders of magnitude and presents significant scaling problems in spectrum reuse. We argue that to achieve this […]
Smart Femto-Cell Controller Based Distributed Cognitive Pilot Channel
This paper presents an extension of the Cognitive Pilot Channel (CPC) concept to the case of a distributed version thereof (namely, DCPC), and demonstrates a potential instantiation of this concept in the design of Smart Femto-Cell Controllers (SFC-C) for handling the management of co-existing homogeneous or heterogeneous networks. Instead of covering the various networks by […]
AN AUTOMATED APPROACH TO A 90 NM CMOS DRFM DSSM CIRCUIT DESIGN
A digital single sideband modulator (DSSM) for a digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) was designed and implemented in a commercial 90-nm radiation-hardenedby-design (RHBD) structured ASIC by Thomas Pemberton in [1]. This thesis synthesized the same DSSM structure in a non-hardened 90-nm commercial process and compared the synthesis results of the two for power, delay, and […]
