Title
Design of Wavelet-Encoded Symbol Constellations for Cyclostationary Spectrum Sensing
Abstract
In mobile communication systems, the signals propagate through multipath over time-varying channels, which are subject to distortion caused by fading and Doppler shifts. In order to minimize such distortions, coding techniques and transmission diversity can be employed, e.g., wavelet coding. In this work, the wavelet coding is investigated in scenarios of cognitive radio systems with dynamic spectrum access. Cognitive radio systems with dynamic spectrum access should be able to sense unoccupied frequency bands for opportunistic transmissions, as well as detect the presence of primary users when they occupy their licensed spectrum. Therefore, an essential element for the accurate operation of cognitive radio systems encoded by wavelet coding is the ability to sense the signals encoded by this technique. It is effectively demonstrated that the possibility of sensing such signals is associated with a suitable design of the signal constellation used in the modulation of the coded symbols. The constellation design of these is performed via genetic algorithms using a multiobjective optimization approach. The developed system is evaluated according to the robustness to time-varying flat fading through a bit error probability (BER) versus E-b/N-0 analysis. The spectral sensing ability is also addressed employing the cyclostationary analysis. The results denote the feasibility of using wavelet coding in radio scenarios with dynamic spectrum access, with good performance in terms of BER and signal detection rates.
