Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Synchronisation of Alpha-Stable Levy Noisebased Random Communication System(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018) Ahmed, Areeb; Savacı, Ferit AcarIn this study, the pilot-assisted synchronisation method for a random communication system (RCS) has been proposed. The pilot symbol, which has alpha-stable distribution, has been used to establish synchronisation and to maintain covertness in the RCS. The introduced synchronisation block (SB) consists of fractional lower-order covariance-based correlators (FLOCCs), threshold detectors (TDs) and the synchronisation control block. To measure the performance of the proposed SB, the performance criterion, i.e. confidence ratio (CR), has been proposed. The reliability of the proposed SB can be enhanced by altering the CR and the achieved CR by using the FLOCCs and TDs in SB.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 7On Optimizing Fractional Lower Order Covariance Based Synchronization Method for Random Communication Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Ahmed, Areeb; Savacı, Ferit AcarPreviously, the concept of Pilot Assisted Synchronization (PAS) and Fractional Lower Order Covariance (FLOC) has been incorporated together to synchronize alpha-stable noise based communication system which gave birth to Synchronized Random Communication Systems (SRCS). In this paper, an optimization criterion, i.e. FLOC Margin, has been proposed to improve the efficiency of the Fractional Lower Order Covariance based Correlators (FLOCCs) at the receiver side, hence, resulting in enhanced Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of SRCS. Since, the characteristic exponent and impulsiveness parameter are mainly responsible in generating and shaping up the required pilot sequence, therefore, the effects of these parameters on BER performance has also been observed by fluctuating them in their respective ranges. It has been shown that the proposed optimization criterion increases the BER efficiency of SRCS and also reveals the specific range of the characteristic exponent and impulsiveness parameter which can be exploited to achieve the optimum performance.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Random Communication System Based on Skewed Alpha-Stable Levy Noise Shift Keying(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2017) Ahmed, Areeb; Savacı, Ferit AcarThe digital communication system is based on the skewed alpha-stable (α-stable) noise sequence which is chosen as the random carrier to modulate the binary message at the transmitter side. Antipodal characteristic of the skew parameter beta (β) is exploited for decoding information at the receiver side to obtain a secure communication system. A fast estimator used in this paper is based on Modified Extreme Value Method (MEVM) to extract the binary message from the signal received through the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Our proposed receiver is achieving better bit error rate (BER) versus Mixed Signal to Noise Ratio (MSNR) than previously introduced receivers which are based on Sinc and Logarithmic estimators. MEVM estimator is indeed less complex compared to the Sinc and Logarithmic estimators and hence more fast. Additionally, the criterion to measure the security level of random communication system, which is based on α-stable noise sequence, has also been introduced.
