This study approaches the issues concerning the coexistence of the IEEE 802.11g wireless networks and the adhoc Bluetooth networks that operate within the same 2.4 GHz band. The performance of 802.11g is evaluated by simulating the PER (Packet Error Rate) parameter and coverage area. The simulation experiments are based on the worst case scenario presumption, which entails the transmission of HV1 packet which HV1 link requires transmission on 100% of the Bluetooth (BT) time slots using the maximum hop rate of 1600 hops per sec. The paper suggests a practical approach to mitigate the interference using symbol erasures technique through the assessment of the PER parameter at various Eb/No values. The results show that the symbol erasures can effectively mitigate the interference and enhance the performance of the 802.11g., Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Journal paper

Telecommunication networks have become as critical to the 21st century development as were railways, roads and canals, to the 19th Century developments and is now seen as enabler to a more sustained business, environment and society as a whole. Still fascinating has been and is the exponential rate of growth in this industry. This is one sector where the next revolution is always just around the corner whether known or unknown. The telecoms industry is categorized by high rates of innovation in a rapidly changing technological environment. This in turn is associated with an immense range of sustainability concerns and challenges for the Telecoms service providers, the service users and the whole industry and its far reaching influence on other industries. This paper discusses three key aspects of such challenges namely; the question of sustainable power/energy supply for the industry when the change is resulting in increasing energy and operational cost, the exploitation of technologies advancement for sustainability and their business and environmental benefits., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Journal paper

The purpose of this study is to construct a near capacity Irregular Turbo Code and to evaluate its performance over Gaussian channel. The methodology used to evaluate and measure the performance of the new design is by simulating the system by developing a software platform using Matlab. The simulation carried out by implementing the system over different modulation schemes, different frame sizes, and different code rates in order to achieve a fair comparison between irregular turbo code and regular Turbo Code. The simulation results showed that the Irregular Turbo Code with 64QAM modulation is capable of achieving a coding gain of 1.29 dB over its corresponding Turbo Code for a low Bit Error Rate 10 to 5, when used in a Gaussian noisy channel. Also, the Irregular Turbo Code designed in this paper, utilizes a single recursive Convolution encoder with short frame size of 5012 bits. The new designed codec can play an important role in many commercial applications such as Third-Generation wireless phones, Digital Video Broadcasting systems, or Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks, etc., Comment: 10 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables, journal paper, Indian Journal of Science and Technology, Vol 8(23), September 2015
