This paper introduces a network-assisted interference suppression scheme using beam-tilt switching per frame for wireless local area network systems and its effectiveness in an actual indoor environment. In the proposed scheme, two access points simultaneously transmit to their own desired station by adjusting angle of beam-tilt including transmit power assisted from network server for the improvement of system throughput. In the conventional researches, it is widely known that beam-tilt is effective for ICI suppression in the outdoor scenario. However, the indoor effectiveness of beam-tilt for ICI suppression has not yet been indicated from the experimental evaluation. Thus, this paper indicates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by analyzing multiple-input multiple-output channel matrices from experimental measurements in an office environment. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed scheme offers higher system throughput than the conventional scheme using just transmit power control.

<p><span lang="EN-US">IEEE 802.11ac based wireless local area network (WLAN) is emerging WiFi standard at 5 GHz, it is new gigabit-per-second standard providing premium services. IEEE 802.11ac accomplishes its crude speed increment by pushing on three distinct measurements firstly is more channel holding, expanded from a maximum of 80 MHz up to 160 MHz modes. Secondly, the denser modulation, now using 256-QAM, it has the ability to increase the data rates up to 7 Gbps using an 8×8 multiple input multiple output (MIMO). Finally, it provides high resolution for both narrow and medium bandwidth channels. This work presents a study to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11ac based WLAN system.</span></p>

In this paper, a robust channel estimation scheme is proposed for the OFDM based wireless local area network systems. The proposed channel estimation scheme has been done targeting the IEEE 802.11a standard [, but it can be extended to other packet-based OFDM systems. A robust channel estimation scheme is proposed for the OFDM-based wireless local area network systems. Performance evaluation shows that the WLAN system with the proposed channel estimation scheme is with practical system performance under harsh fading channel.

The effect of the maritime environment on radio frequency (RF) propagation is not well understood. In this work, we study the propagation of ad hoc 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local area network systems typically used for near-shore operation of unmanned surface vehicles. In previous work, maritime RF propagation performance is evaluated by collecting RSSI data over water and comparing it against existing propagation models. However, the multivariate effect of the maritime environment on RF propagation means that these single-domain studies cannot distinguish between factors unique to the maritime environment and factors that exist in typical terrestrial RF systems. In this work, we isolate the effect of the maritime environment by collecting RSSI data over land and over seawater at two different frequencies and two different ground station antenna heights with the same physical system in essentially the same location. Results show that our 2.4 GHz, 2 m antenna height system received a 2 to 3 dBm path loss when transitioning from over-land to over-seawater (equivalent to a 25 to 40% reduction in range); but increasing the frequency and antenna height to 5 GHz, 5 m respectively resulted in no meaningful path loss under the same conditions; this reduction in path loss by varying frequency and antenna height has not been demonstrated in previous work. In addition, we studied the change in ground reflectivity coefficient, R , when transitioning from over-land to over-seawater. Results show that R remained relatively constant, −0.49 ≤ R ≤ −0.45, for all of the over-land experiments; however, R demonstrated a frequency dependence during the over-seawater experiments, ranging from −0.39 ≤ R ≤ −0.33 at 2.4 GHz, and −0.51 ≤ R ≤ −0.50 at 5 GHz.

In the present study, an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna has been proposed using coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed with dual-band-notch characteristics. Slot-loaded radiator and U-shaped CPW resonator are used for band rejection at 3.5 and 5–6 GHz respectively to reduce interference with existing World interoperability for microwave access and wireless local area network systems. With an extended operating band (measured at 10 dB return loss) the antenna operates successfully over the entire UWB range (3.1–10.6 GHz) with a form factor of 30 × 20 × 1.524 mm3 on a commercially low-cost FR-4 substrate. Experimental measurement results are presented in support of the simulated results for the proposed antenna for practical application. The antenna has been successfully fabricated and measured, showing broadband matched impedance and good omnidirectional radiation pattern throughout the operating bandwidth. Measured time-domain analysis for both the orientations, i.e. face-to-face and side-by-side, yields excellent performance in the open environment scenario. With fairly good and consistent monopole such as omnidirectional radiation patterns in H-plane and linear transmission responses, the proposed antenna is well suited to be integrated within portable devices.

Abstract This communication reports significant isolation improvement utilizing planar suspended line (PSL) technique in ultra wideband (UWB) antenna for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) application. The antenna exhibits dual-band notched characteristic in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) band covering 5.45–5.85 GHz range; and in 7.15–7.95 GHz range for X-band downlink operations in satellite communication. Band-notching characteristics have been obtained by employing a single Elliptical Split Ring Resonator (ESSR) placed adjacent to each microstrip feed line of the radiating element and duo of “Y”-shaped strips employed within the circular ring of individual radiating elements. Two elements antenna occupy a compact space of 20 × 36 × 1.6 mm3 exhibiting huge measured impedance bandwidth (S11/S22 < −10 dB) covering 3.1–11.5 GHz and significant isolation of >21 dB in the almost entire band of operation. The electrical performance of antennas has been analyzed in terms of various MIMO parameters. Measured results demonstrate good accord with simulated results proving the competency of proposed antenna in high-density package systems and massive MIMO applications.
