Dynamic Routing for Flying Ad Hoc Networks

Dario Floreano, Bixio Rimoldi, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Stefano Rosati, Karol Jacek Kruzelecki

This paper reports experimental results on self-organizing wireless networks carried by small flying robots. Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) composed of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible, inexpensive and fast to deploy. This makes them a v ...

A closed-form expression for the total degradation in OFDM systems

Stefano Rosati

In this paper, building upon Bussgang's theorem, we present a new expression for the total degradation (TD) in OFDM systems. This novel expression is applicable to any high power amplifier (HPA) model. In case of ideal clipping HPA model and for particular ...

Orthogonal multicarrier modulations in satellite uplinks

Stefano Rosati

In this paper, we analyze Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access and Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access as alternative physical layer schemes for the up-link of a satellite network. Both orthogonal frequency-division multiple access a ...

Rotation Invariant Subcarrier Mapping over DVB-T2 Reserved Tones

Stefano Rosati

This paper presents a new approach, named Rotation Invariant Subcarrier Mapping (RISM), to Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR) reduction in OFDM systems. This technique enables data transmission over those subcarrier which are dedicated to the PAPR reductio ...

Testbed for Fast-Deployable Flying WiFi Networks

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Bixio Rimoldi, Alberto Jimenez Pacheco, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Stefano Rosati, Karol Jacek Kruzelecki

EPFL's Information Processing Group (IPG) and Laboratory for Intelligent Systems (LIS), in conjunction with SenseFly (a LIS spin-off) recently started a project aimed at developing a testbed to experiment with self-organized wireless networks carried by au ...

LLR Compression for BICM Systems Using Large Constellations

Bixio Rimoldi, Stefano Rosati

Digital video broadcasting (DVB-C2) and other modern communication standards increase diversity by means of a symbol-level interleaver that spans over several codewords. Deinterleaving at the receiver requires a large memory, which has a significant impact ...

Coded SC-FDMA for broadband satellite return links

Stefano Rosati

In this paper we deal with Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) as uplink air interface of broadband satellite networks. Interestingly, SC-FDMA enables a significant increase of the spectral efficiency with respect to the state-of-th ...

OFDM Channel Estimation Based on Impulse Response Decimation: Analysis and Novel Algorithms

Stefano Rosati

In this paper, OFDM data-aided channel estimation based on the decimation of the Channel Impulse Response (CIR) through the selection of the Most Significant Samples (MSS) is addressed. Our aim is to approach the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) channel es ...
