The NCS is assumed to be operating in closed loop using a linear state feedback $\mathcal {H}_{2}$ -controller. A zero-sum, two-player Stackelberg game (SG) is developed between an attacker and a defender for this NCS. The attacker aims to disable communication of selected nodes and thereby render the feedback gain matrix to be sparse, leading to degradation of closed-loop performance, while the defender aims to prevent this loss by investing in the protection of targeted nodes. Both the players trade their $\mathcal {H}_{2}$ -performance objectives for the costs of their actions. The standard backward induction (BI) method is modified to determine a cost-based Stackelberg equilibrium (CBSE) that saves the players’ costs without degrading the control performance. We analyze the dependence of a CBSE on the relative budgets of the players and on the node “importance” order. Moreover, a robust defense (RD) method is developed for the realistic case when the defender is not informed about the attacker’s resources. The proposed algorithms are validated using examples from wide-area control of electric power systems. It is demonstrated that reliable and RD is feasible unless the defender’s resources are severely limited relative to the attacker’s resources. We also show that the proposed methods are robust to time-varying model uncertainties and thus are suitable for long-term security investment in realistic NCSs.

To enable economically viable communication, a game-theoretic framework is proposed under the communication cost, or sparsity, constraint, given by the number of communicating state/control input pairs. As this constraint tightens, the system transitions from dense to sparse communication, providing the tradeoff between dynamic system performance and information exchange.

A spectrum sensing algorithm is a critical component of any sensing strategy. Performance of conventional spectrum detection methods is severely limited when the average SNR of the fading channel between the PU transmitter and the SU sensor is low. Advanced detection techniques only partially remedy this problem. Cooperative sensing can combat channel fading, but requires a large number of cooperating SUs and/or diversity branches. A key limitation of conventional approaches is that the sensing threshold is determined from the miss detection rate averaged over the fading distribution. In this paper, the threshold is adapted to the instantaneous PU-to-SU Channel State Information (CSI) under the prescribed collision probability constraint, and a novel sensing strategy design is proposed for an overlay CR ad hoc network where the instantaneous false alarm probability is incorporated into the belief update and the reward computation. It is demonstrated that the proposed sensing approach improves SU confidence, randomizes sensing decisions, and significantly improves SU network throughput while satisfying the collision probability constraint to the PUs in the low average PU-to-SU SNR region. Moreover, the proposed adaptive sensing strategy is robust to mismatched and correlated fading CSI.

Since the myopic sensing strategy results in congestion and poor throughput, several collision-avoidance sensing approaches were investigated in the literature. However, they provide limited improvement. A channel-aware myopic sensing strategy that adapts the reward to the fading channel state information (CSI) of the SU link is proposed. This CSI varies over the CR spectrum and from one SU pair to another due to multipath and shadow fading, thus randomizing sensing decisions and increasing the network throughput.

Different codes lead to different induced channels at the receiver, where Channel State Information (CSI) is used to instruct the transmitter how to choose the code. Feedback can be combined with sub-optimal low complexity decoding of the component codes to match Maximum-Likelihood (ML) decoding performance of any individual code in the family. It can also be combined with ML decoding of the component codes to improve performance beyond ML decoding performance of any individual code. Prior analysis of code diversity did not take into account the effect of the mobile speed and the delay in the feedback channel. This paper demonstrates the practicality of code diversity in space-time coded systems by showing that performance gains based on instantaneous feedback are largely preserved when long-range prediction of time-varying correlated fading channels is employed to compensate for the effect of the feedback delay. To maintain prediction accuracy for realistic SNR, noise reduction that employs oversampled pilots is used prior to fading prediction.

Rapid node mobility results in dramatic channel variation, or fading, that degrades MANET performance. Employing channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter can improve the throughput of routing and medium access control (MAC) protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. Several routing algorithms in the literature explicitly incorporate the fading signal strength into the routing metric, thus selecting the routes with strong channel conditions. While these studies show that adaptation to the time-variant channel gain is beneficial in MANETs, they do not address the effect of the outdated fading CSI at the transmitter. For realistic mobile node speeds, the channel gain is rapidly varying, and becomes quickly outdated due the feedback delay. We analyze the link throughput of joint rate adaptation and adaptive relay selection in the presence of imperfect CSI. Moreover, for an 802.11 network that employs geographic opportunistic routing with adaptive rate and relay selection, we propose a novel method to reduce the effect of the feedback delay at the MAC layer in the presence of Rayleigh fading. This method exploits channel reciprocity and fading prediction and does not require significant modification to the existing 802.11 frame structure.

However, unless the mobile speed is very low, the estimated CSI cannot be used directly to select the parameters of adaptive transmission systems, since it quickly becomes outdated due to the rapid channel variation caused by multipath fading. To enable adaptive transmission for mobile radio systems, prediction of future fading channel samples is required.

Both Jakes (1974) fading model and a novel realistic physical model of frequency selective fading are used to validate performance of the proposed method.}, booktitle={Proceedings 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (Cat.

This second issue devoted to the topic of MUD techniques 1 features 22 contributions that address key areas for the development of the field. In wireless transmission systems, MUD often must be performed in the presence of possible rapid variations of the channel. In such situations, receiver complexity is an issue, and this is the focus of the first group of papers in this issue. In " Reduced and Differential Parallel Interference Cancellation for CDMA Systems, " Nahler et al. investigate various parallel architectures for interference cancellation. The paper, " A Low-Complexity Combined Antenna Array and Interference Cancellation DS-CDMA Receiver in Multipath Fading Channels , " by Mohamed and Dunham combines beamforming to reduce co-channel interference with parallel interference cancellation to mitigate in-beam multiple-access interference, to result in a low-complexity system for multiuser reception in frequency-selective channels. Lee and Kim consider the gambit of choosing a very simple detector that exploits the characteristics of CDMA signals in " A One-Shot LDD With Pre-SDC/Post-MRC for Random CDMA Over Asynchronous Rayleigh Channels. " Two suboptimal multiuser detectors based on the maximum-likelihood criterion are presented in " Reduced State Maximum-Likelihood Multiuser Detection for Down-link TD-CDMA Systems, " by Benvenuto et al. It is shown that these detectors perform much better than the zero-forcing and the minimum-mean-square-error detectors, while maintaining a complexity that is proportional to the number of users. Castoldi and Kobayashi investigate linear interference cancellation for the downlink in " Co-Channel Interference Mitigation Detectors for Multirate Transmission in TD-CDMA Systems. " The proposed receivers employ tunable-complexity structures that cancel intracell interference, and treat intercell interference differently, depending on the operating environment. A unifying framework for a new class of receivers that employ linearly constrained interference cancellation is presented in " Interference Subspace Rejection: A Framework Publisher Item Identifier S 0733-8716(02)00988-5. 1 The reference for the first issue is " Multiuser detection techniques with application to wired and wireless communications systems I, " IEEE J. Select. for Multiuser Detection in Wideband CDMA " by Affes et al. These detectors operate in various modes, ranging from linear receivers to interference cancellers. In addition to interference rejection, they perform space and time diversity combining, array processing, and synchronization and can operate in multiple mixed-traffic scenarios. …}, number={2}, journal={IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Cherubini, G and Cioffi, JM and Duel-Hallen, A and Poor, HV and Tranter, WH}, year={2002}, month={Feb}, pages={233–236} } @inproceedings{wu_duel-hallen_1996, place={New York, NY, USA}, title={On the performance of coherent and noncoherent multiuser detectors for mobile radio CDMA channels}, volume={vol.1}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICUPC.1996.557757}, DOI={10.1109/ICUPC.1996.557757}, abstractNote={We investigate the performance of several suboptimal multiuser detectors for rapidly time varying mobile radio channels.

The new approach produces a set of fading waveforms, one waveform associated with each receiver element, in which the waveforms are appropriately correlated to take into account the spread, or dispersion, in the azimuth (arrival angle) of the received signal. The new method is an extension of the Jakes (1974) method of simulating fading in which the appropriate correlation of the set of waveforms is accomplished by directly considering the azimuth of scatterers in a particular distribution about the mobile transmitter. The models used for this cluster of scatterers are a ring and a disk of scatterers. Further modifications of the disk model permit the generation of fading waveforms which are correlated in a manner which reflect actual field measurements of azimuth dispersion. Analytical correlation of these models is reviewed for purposes of verification with the waveforms generated by the method.}, number={5}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY}, author={Fulghum, TL and Molnar, KJ and Duel-Hallen, A}, year={2002}, month={Sep}, pages={968–977} } @inproceedings{guncavdi_duel-hallen_2001, title={A Novel Space-Time Pre-RAKE Transmitter Diversity Method for W-CDMA Using Long Range Prediction}, volume={1}, booktitle={Proceedings of 35th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems, CISS'01}, author={Guncavdi, S. and Duel-Hallen, A.}, year={2001}, month={Mar}, pages={32–37} } @article{cherubini_cioffi_duel-hallen_poor_2001, title={Multiuser detection techniques with application to wired and wireless communications systems I}, volume={19}, ISSN={["0733-8716"]}, DOI={10.1109/JSAC.2001.942505}, number={8}, journal={IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Cherubini, G and Cioffi, JM and Duel-Hallen, A and Poor, HV}, year={2001}, month={Aug}, pages={1425–1428} } @inproceedings{hu_duel-hallen_hallen_2001, place={Banff, Canada}, title={Selective Transmitter Diversity and Adaptive Power Control for Realistic Mobile Radio Channels}, booktitle={Proceedings of WOC'2001}, author={Hu, S. and Duel-Hallen, A. and Hallen, H.}, year={2001}, pages={178–182} } @inproceedings{hu_duel-hallen_hallen_2000, title={Long-Range Prediction Makes Adaptive Modulation Feasible for Realistic Mobile Radio Channels}, booktitle={Proc. of 34rd Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems CISS'2000}, author={Hu, S. and Duel-Hallen, A. and Hallen, H.}, year={2000}, pages={WP4–7 - WP4–13} } @article{duel-hallen_hu_hallen_2000, title={Long-range prediction of fading signals - Enabling adapting transmission for mobile radio channels}, volume={17}, ISSN={["1558-0792"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/79.841729}, DOI={10.1109/79.841729}, abstractNote={It was previously proposed to adapt several transmission methods, including modulation, power control, channel coding, and antenna diversity to rapidly time variant fading channel conditions.

We also enhance the algorithm by an adaptive prediction and tracking method that increases accuracy and maintains the robustness of long-term prediction as the physical channel parameters vary. Finally, we show that large improvements in the bit error rate (BER) are possible when the proposed prediction method is used.

What distinguishes it from prior work is that a randomly chosen subsequence with density /spl lambda/ is to be matched as closely as possible. The so-called marked bits of the subsequence could indicate overload quantization points for a source sample generated from the tails of a probability distribution. They might also indicate bits where the initial estimate is considered reliable, as might happen in iterated decoding. The capacity of a convolutional code to interpolate the marked subsequence might be viewed as a measure of its ability to handle overload distortion. We analyze this capacity using a Markov chain whose states are sets of subsets of trellis vertices of the convolutional code. We investigate the effect of memory on the probability of perfect interpolation and calculate the residual rate on the unmarked bits of the binary source sequence. We relate our interpolation methodology to sequence-based methods of quantization and use it to analyze the performance of convolutional codes on the pure erasure channel.}, number={1}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY}, author={Calderbank, AR and Duel-Hallen, A and Fishburn, PC and Rabinovich, A}, year={1999}, month={Jan}, pages={94–105} } @inproceedings{eyceoz_hu_duel-hallen_1999, title={Performance Analysis of Long Range Prediction for Fast Fading Channels}, volume={2}, booktitle={Proc. 33rd Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems CISS'99}, author={Eyceoz, T. and Hu, S. and Duel-Hallen, A.}, year={1999}, month={Mar}, pages={656–661} } @article{elezabi_duel-hallen_1997, title={A novel interleaving scheme for multiuser detection of coded CDMA systems}, number={6}, journal={TR (Center for Advanced Computing and Communication)}, author={Elezabi, A. and Duel-Hallen, A.}, year={1997} } @article{eyceoez_duel-hallen_1997, title={Simplified Block Adaptive Diversity Equalizer for Cellular Mobile Radio}, volume={1}, ISSN={["1558-2558"]}, DOI={10.1109/4234.552143}, abstractNote={We propose a reduced complexity antenna diversity combiner-equalizer receiver structure to combat multipath fading in cellular mobile radio (CMR) communications.
