Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Joint Beamforming and Power Control Technique for Femtocell Networks(Springer Verlag, 2017) Özbek, Berna; Bayrak, UğurThe need for high data rate increases with the growing demand for wireless communication. In order to meet this demand, one of the most effective ways is deployment of small cells which are considered as a promising technique for future wireless networks. However, the deployment of these low-power base stations brings many challenges. Interference management will be one of the major drawbacks for the deployment of small cells in coverage of the macro base stations. In order to cope with interference problem, we propose a joint beamforming and power allocation technique for a two-tier network system involving femtocell and macrocell layers to design power efficient networks. The beamforming technique is applied by using partial zero-forcing method to remove the highest cross-tier interference while satisfying the macro and femtocell users’ data rate requirements. Then, we perform power allocation to further reduce interference and design power efficient femtocell networks. The performance results of the proposed technique are illustrated in terms of power consumption in femtocell networks.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Implementation of Pre-Fft Beamforming in Mimo-Ofdm(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Gökçeli, Selahattin; Uslu, Merve; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş; Özbek, Berna; Alakoca, Hakan; Durmaz, Mehmet AkifIn this study, real-time software defined radio implementation of the point to point multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system using pre-fast Fourier transform (pre-FFT) beamforming technique in both the transmitter and the receiver is done for the first time in the literature. By taking benefit of the MIMO system's spatial multiplexing property, the performance of the implemented pre-FFT beamforming approach is demonstrated in terms of bit error rate and error vector magnitude measurements. As a result of the test results, the effect of the beamforming methods on the performance of communication systems are clearly observed.
