An Efficient Method for Interference Cancellation and Spatial Multiplexing in MIMO Wireless Networks

VTIP:10-065

This invention offers an efficient method at the link layer for interference cancellation and spatial multiplexing in a MIMO ad hoc network. This invention achieves a significantly higher network capacity region for a MIMO ad hoc network than any other known schemes that are available today. The new ...

PATIS: Using Partial Configuration to Improve Static FPGA Design Productivity

VTIP:10-061

Reconfigurable hardware development and debugging tools aspire to provide software-like productivity. A major impediment, however, is the lack of a module linkage capability permitting hardware blocks to be compiled concurrently, limiting the effective use of multi-core and multiprocessor platforms. Although modular and incremental design flows can reuse the ...

A Methodology for Spectrum Access Policy Reasoning in Cognitive Radios

VTIP:10-046

Our policy reasoned utilizes Multi Terminal Binary Decision Diagrams (MTBDDs) to carry out policy reasoning. It uses a set of efficient graph-theoretic algorithms to translate policies into MTBDDs, merge policies into a single meta-policy, and compute opportunity constraints. Our invention demonstrates that policies can be processed efficiently by ...

Generic Cognitive Engine

VTIP:10-027

The CROSS architecture is a modular cognitive radio system framework that provides portability and interoperability between components that may be individually developed even in different programming languages. Not only will this allow for flexible development for the cognitive radio system, but will allow developers to focus entirely on the ...

Novel Cognitive Receiver Architecture for Improving the Performance of Automatic Modulation Classifier (AMC)

VTIP:10-002

Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is an important component of cognitive radio. Cumulants based AMC proposed in [1] is one of the widely used AMC. The performance of cumulants based AMC is degraded in the presence of multipath channel. To combat this degration, two methods are peoposed in ...
