Improving the redundancy of Knuth's balancing scheme for packet transmission systems

A simple scheme was proposed by Knuth to generate binary balanced codewords from any information word. However, this method is limited in the sense that its redundancy is twice that of the full sets of balanced codes. The gap between Knuth's algorithm's redundancy and that of the full sets of balanced codes is significantly considerable. This paper attempts to reduce that gap. Furthermore, many constructions assume that a full balancing can be performed without showing the steps. A full balancing refers to the overall balancing of the encoded information together with the prefix. We propose an efficient way to perform a full balancing scheme that does not make use of lookup tables or enumerative coding.

Integrating Queuing Regime into Cognitive Radio Channel Aggregation Policies: A Performance Evaluation

Channel aggregation (CA) is one of the newest concept which cognitive radio network is bringing to bear for the smooth role out of fifth/next generation wireless networks. This is the combining of several unused primary user spectrum holes into a logic usable channel. However, several of these strategies have been investigated considering the varying nature of wireless link and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC). Examples are the instant blocking strategy (IBS) and readjustment based strategy (RBS). This paper develops and compares two CA policies with queue, which are the IBS with queue (IBS + Q), and the RBS with queue (RBS+Q). This is in furtherance of previous proposed work. The aim is to identifying the impact of a queuing regime on the performance of the secondary network such that any secondary user (SU) that has not completed its service, as an alternative to dropping or forcibly terminating the service, it is queued in order to get another opportunity to access the primary user (PU) channels. The performance is evaluated through a simulation framework. The results validate that with a welldesigned queuing regime, capacity, access and other metrics can be improved with significant reduction in blocking and forced termination probabilities respectively.

Evaluation of Handover Exchange Schemes Between Two Cognitive Radio Base Stations with and without Buffers

This article investigates and evaluate a handover exchange scheme between two secondary users (SUs) moving in different directions across the handover region of neighbouring cell in a cognitive radio network. More specifically, this investigation compares the performance of SUs in a cellular cognitive radio network with and without channel exchange systems. The investigation shows reduced handover failure, blocking, forced and access probabilities respectively, for handover exchange scheme with buffer as compared to the other scenario.
