Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les systèmes de communication sans fil de nouvelle génération nécessitent des techniques avancées afin de supporter un nombre élevé d'usagers et d'augmenter le débit sans avoir besoin de largeur de bande additionnelle. Une de ces techniques est l'utilisation des systèmes MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output). De tels systèmes augmentent le débit, la portée et la robustesse aux évanouissements du canal sans consommer de largeur de bande additionnelle. Dans cette thèse, nous modélisons la norme 802.11 pour les réseaux ad-hoc à accès MIMO. Nous dégageons des scénarios de simulation permettant de mettre en lumière certaines situations problématiques des réseaux sans-fil. Ce mémoire introduit dans un premier temps le canal sans fil et les spécifications de la norme 802.11. Dans un deuxième temps, nous introduisons le simulateur réseau NS-2 ainsi que certaines simulations des réseaux ad-hoc utilisant la norme 802.11. Et pour finir on a testé notre extension MIMO par des scénarios de simulation de réseaux étendus.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tendance actuelle est d'utiliser les systèmes multi-antennes en émission et en réception afin d'utiliser au mieux le spectre radioélectrique et d'améliorer la liaison radio pour les systèmes de communications sans fil. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit ce mémoire de thèse qui porte sur l'étude et l'optimisation d'un démonstrateur d'antennes intelligentes. Après avoir effectué une étude approfondie des méthodes de détection de directions d'arrivée des signaux RF et développé une technique de formation de lobe, deux prototypes de système d'antenne adaptative ont été développés dans la bande WiMax (3.4 - 3.5 GHz) et validé expérimentalement. Le premier prototype fonctionnant en réception est basé sur les liaisons de type Uplink. Il utilise les démodulateurs cinq-ports et le système de formation numérique de faisceau où les poids sont calculés par l'algorithme SQP (technique de synthèse développée) et appliqués directement aux signaux en bande de base afin d'améliorer la qualité des signaux reçus c'est-à-dire améliorer le rapport signal à interférent plus bruit. Le deuxième fonctionnant en émission est basé sur les liaisons de type Downlink, c'est un système analogique de formation de faisceau utilisant les modulateurs vectoriels commandés numériquement à partir de la loi d'alimentation donnée par la synthèse de diagramme (algorithme SQP) afin de concentrer le rayonnement émis dans la direction privilégiée du récepteur utile. Ces deux systèmes sont complémentaires dans la mesure où ce dernier utilise les résultats de mesure de DoA du premier pour adapter son diagramme de rayonnement en fonction de la position angulaires des sources.
Download or read book Radiowave propagation and antennas for high data rate mobile communications in the 60 GHz band written by Sylvain Ranvier and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La bande de fréquence millimétrique autour de 60 GHz est considérée comme l’une des meilleures options pour l’implémentation des réseaux sans fils à très hauts débits de type WPAN (wireless personal area network). De plus, les systèmes multi-antennes de type MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) sont très prometteurs. Ils peuvent augmenter de manière significative l’efficacité spectrale ou la fiabilité des communications sans fil. De ce fait, l’utilisation de systèmes multi-antennes à 60 GHz est, théoriquement, très prometteuse. Bien que les performances des systèmes MIMO aient été étudiées de manière approfondie à la fois théoriquement et expérimentalement à basses fréquences (2 et 5 GHz), il y a clairement un manque d’évaluation expérimentale de ces systèmes à 60 GHz. De plus, la conception et l’évaluation d’antennes millimétriques compactes à bas coûts pour des applications de type WPAN sont des sujets sur lesquels beaucoup de recherches doivent être encore faites. Dans la première partie de la thèse, le premier sondeur de canal MIMO à 60 GHz est présenté. Ce système, construit à partir d’un sondeur existant pour 2 et 5 GHz, utilise des réseaux d’antennes virtuelles. Afin d’améliorer la résolution temporelle, deux autres systèmes de mesure ont été développés. Le premier est construit à partir d’un sondeur ultra large bande et le second à partir d’un analyseur vectoriel de réseau. Ces systèmes permettent la caractérisation totale du canal MIMO dans les domaines temporel et angulaire. Dans la seconde partie, les performances de techniques pour systèmes multi-antennes sont analysées grâce aux mesures obtenues dans la première partie de la thèse. Les trois techniques étudiées sont: MIMO, MIMO avec sélection d’antennes et dépointage de faisceau. Les résultats indiquent que la capacité du canal MIMO mesuré est relativement proche de celle d’un canal idéal. Dans des conditions réalistes, la capacité obtenue grâce à la technique MIMO avec sélection d’antennes est souvent inférieure à celle obtenue avec la technique MIMO. Par ailleurs, lorsque l’on considère un réseau à déphasage avec des pertes réalistes, il apparait que la capacité obtenue avec la technique MIMO est presque toujours supérieure à celle obtenue avec la technique du dépointage du faisceau. Dans la dernière partie de la thèse, une antenne omnidirectionnelle est présentée. Cette antenne convient parfaitement aux applications de types WPAN car elle est plane et n’utilise qu’une seule couche de métallisation, ce qui la rend facile à réaliser et peut coûteuse. De plus, un banc de mesure quasi-3D de diagrammes de rayonnement d’antennes à 60 GHz à été développé. Ce système a une très bonne répétabilité. Le rayonnement de la pointe elle-même a été mesuré et les résultats indiquent que c’est la principale limitation de la dynamique d’amplitude de ce système.

Download or read book Building Wireless Community Networks written by Rob Flickenger and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2003 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Wireless Community Networks is about getting people online using wireless network technology. The 802.11b standard (also known as WiFi) makes it possible to network towns, schools, neighborhoods, small business, and almost any kind of organization. All that's required is a willingness to cooperate and share resources. The first edition of this book helped thousands of people engage in community networking activities. At the time, it was impossible to predict how quickly and thoroughly WiFi would penetrate the marketplace. Today, with WiFi-enabled computers almost as common as Ethernet, it makes even more sense to take the next step and network your community using nothing but freely available radio spectrum. This book has showed many people how to make their network available, even from the park bench, how to extend high-speed Internet access into the many areas not served by DSL and cable providers, and how to build working communities and a shared though intangible network. All that's required to create an access point for high-speed Internet connection is a gateway or base station. Once that is set up, any computer with a wireless card can log onto the network and share its resources. Rob Flickenger built such a network in northern California, and continues to participate in network-building efforts. His nuts-and-bolts guide covers: Selecting the appropriate equipment Finding antenna sites, and building and installing antennas Protecting your network from inappropriate access New network monitoring tools and techniques (new) Regulations affecting wireless deployment (new) IP network administration, including DNS and IP Tunneling (new) His expertise, as well as his sense of humor and enthusiasm for the topic, makes Building Wireless Community Networks a very useful and readable book for anyone interested in wireless connectivity.

Download or read book Quantum Communications and Cryptography written by Alexander V. Sergienko and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All current methods of secure communication such as public-key cryptography can eventually be broken by faster computing. At the interface of physics and computer science lies a powerful solution for secure communications: quantum cryptography. Because eavesdropping changes the physical nature of the information, users in a quantum exchange can easily detect eavesdroppers. This allows for totally secure random key distribution, a central requirement for use of the one-time pad. Since the one-time pad is theoretically proven to be undecipherable, quantum cryptography is the key to perfect secrecy. Quantum Communications and Cryptography is the first comprehensive review of the past, present, and potential developments in this dynamic field. Leading expert contributors from around the world discuss the scientific foundations, experimental and theoretical developments, and cutting-edge technical and engineering advances in quantum communications and cryptography. The book describes the engineering principles and practical implementations in a real-world metropolitan network as well as physical principles and experimental results of such technologies as entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation. It also offers the first detailed treatment of quantum information processing with continuous variables. Technologies include both free-space and fiber-based communications systems along with the necessary protocols and information processing approaches. Bridging the gap between physics and engineering, Quantum Communications and Cryptography supplies a springboard for further developments and breakthroughs in this rapidly growing area.

Download or read book 1914 written by Jean Echenoz and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Frenchmen go off to war, two of them leaving behind a certain young woman who longs for their return. But the main character in 1914 is the Great War itself. Jean Echenoz, the multi–;award–;winning French literary magician whose work has been compared to Joseph Conrad and Lawrence Sterne, has brought that deathtrap back to life, leading us gently from a balmy summer day deep into the insatiable—and still unthinkable—carnage of trench warfare. With the delicacy of a miniaturist and with irony both witty and clear–;eyed, the author offers us an intimate epic with the atmosphere of a classic movie: in the panorama of a clear blue sky, a biplane spirals suddenly into the ground; a tardy piece of shrapnel shears the top off a man's head as if it were a soft–;boiled egg; we dawdle dreamily in a spring–;scented clearing with a lonely shell–;shocked soldier strolling innocently to a firing squad ready to shoot him for desertion. But ultimately, the grace notes of humanity in 1914 rise above the terrors of war in this beautifully crafted tale that Echenoz tells with discretion, precision, and love.
