The dynamic decode-and-forward channel: SNR allocation. (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Maagh, S., Sharp, J., & Binnie, D. (2013). The dynamic decode-and-forward channel: SNR allocation. In Telecommunications forum: TELFOR 2013 (319-322). https://doi.org/10.1109/TELFOR.3013.6716234

In the half-duplex relay channel applying the decode-and-forward protocol the relay introduces energy over random time intervals into the channel as observed at the destination. Consequently, during simulation the average signal power seen at the de... Read More about The dynamic decode-and-forward channel: SNR allocation..

CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems (2008)
Journal Article
Wei, B., Sharif, M., Binnie, D., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2008). CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems. The Mediterranean journal of electronics and communications, 4, 37-45

Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) techniques can be used in Pseudo-Noise (PN) code acquisition in Spread Spectrum (SS) communication systems, and all the CFAR techniques perform well in homogeneous background PN code acquisition. However, in non-homog... Read More about CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems.

Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Wei, B., Sharif, M., Binnie, D., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. In Proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems (573-576)

Performance of two pseudonoise (PN) code detectors was tested. Cell averaging (CA) and order Statistics (OS) constant false alarm rates (CFAR) were analysed against mean acquisition time (MAT) and against the probability of detection (Pd). Both detec...
