Enhancement Of 5g Network Performance Using Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (Noma), Faeik Tayseer Al Rabee Mar 2020

Enhancement Of 5g Network Performance Using Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (Noma), Faeik Tayseer Al Rabee

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation is composed of two parts. The first presents several approaches to enhance the performance of 5G wireless systems by using NOMA (Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) as the multiple access technique under different scenarios and performance metrics. The second investigates the performance of a wireless system network using a mobility model to evaluate the channel capacity taking into account motion. Both studies are directed towards improving the system performance in wireless communication systems.

In the first part, the optimum received power level for uplink power-domain NOMA with ideal Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) reception is derived for any number of transmitters. …


Methods And Algorithms To Enhance The Security, Increase The Throughput, And Decrease The Synchronization Delay In 5g Networks, Asim Mazin Mar 2019

Methods And Algorithms To Enhance The Security, Increase The Throughput, And Decrease The Synchronization Delay In 5g Networks, Asim Mazin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents several novel approaches to enhance security, and increase the throughput, and decrease the delay synchronization in 5G networks.

First, a new physical layer paradigm was proposed for secure key exchange between the legitimate communication parties in the presence of a passive eavesdropper was presented. The proposed method ensures secrecy via pre-equalization and guarantees reliable communications using Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. One of the main findings of this research is to demonstrate through simulations that the diversity order of the eavesdropper will be zero unless the main and eavesdropping channels are almost correlated, while the probability of …


Improving System Performance In Cellular And Wban Networks Via User-Specific Qos And Mimo In Vivo Technologies, Chao He Mar 2015

Improving System Performance In Cellular And Wban Networks Via User-Specific Qos And Mimo In Vivo Technologies, Chao He

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation is composed of two independent studies: Cellular research and WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) research. Both investigations are directed towards improving the system performance in wireless communication systems in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and system capacity.

For the Cellular research part, this dissertation will present novel user-specific QoS requirements as defined by their respective Mean Opinion Score (MOS) formulas, and associated schedulers for wireless applications and systems that optimize spectral allocation. User-specific QoS requirements are defined and several methods to make use of such requirements to maximum the spectral utilization are presented. Five User-Specific QoS Aware …
