Full-Duplex Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in Relay-Assisted Power Line Communication Roopesh Ramesh, Sanjeev Gurugopinath, R. Muralishankar 2025 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing VLSI Electrical Circuits and Robotics Discover 2025 Proceedings, 2025 The performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in a full-duplex (FD) relay-assisted power line communication (PLC) network is analyzed in this paper. A cooperative PLC system involving a source, relay, and destination node where the relay node is in FD mode for enhancing the spectral efficiency is taken into account. The performance of the system is measured in terms of outage probability using the log-normal fading channel model. We also elaborate on the power distribution optimization between the relay and destination nodes in the FD-NOMA case for minimization of outage probability. Outcomes show that the FD-NOMA scheme enjoys superior performance gains over its half-duplex counterpart for outage probability reduction. The paper also introduces the significance of the relay location and self-interference cancellation efficiency in overall system performance.
Multi-User Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in Power Line Communications Under Generalized Gaussian Noise Roopesh Ramesh, Sanjeev Gurugopinath, R. Muralishankar ICASSP IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing Proceedings, 2025 We present an analysis on multi-user pairwise error probability (PEP) performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-aided power line communication (PLC) systems, under heavy-tailed noise. In contrast to the typical assumption in the literature, we consider the successive interference cancellation procedure in NOMA to be imperfect. We model the heavy-tailed noise as generalized Gaussian (GG) distribution with a heavy-tail parameter, and discuss the impact of this parameter on the PEP performance. We validate our analysis using Monte Carlo simulations, and disucss the impact of the lognormal fading parameters in PEP. Further, we numerically show that the diversity order on PEP is equal to the user order for larger values of the heavy-tail parameter, which is similar to that observed in an additive white Gaussian noise scenario.
A Correlation Profile-Based Adaptive Weighing in Mel-DCT Filter Banks for Voice Activity Detection Narendra K. C, R. Muralishankar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath, Prasanta Kumar Ghosh Proceedings of the National Conference on Communications Ncc, 2025 In this study, we propose an adaptive scheme to dynamically select filters using a novel correlation profile across the modified Mel-DCT (MMD) filter bank which is used to compute the weighted average of the frequency-domain long-term differential entropy (FLDE) and MMD-FLDE features for voice activity detection (VAD) applications. We conduct extensive experiments using the SWITCH-BOARD corpus and noise samples from the NOISEX-92. leveraging this combination of correlation profile-based Mel-DCT filters and long-term speech characteristics. Our results show that the proposed technique outperforms the FLDE and MMD-FLDE methods, in terms of detection accuracy, speech hit rate and noise hit rate, particularly for stationary and heavy noise cases with an improvement of over five percent in the accuracy for machine gun noise in particular. Moreover, we compare the performance of the proposed technique with the robust VAD (rVAD) algorithm, and the results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the rVAD algorithm in terms of speech hit rate.
Vasicek and Van Es entropy-based spectrum sensing for cognitive radios Sutapa Sarkar, R. Muralishankar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath Iet Networks, 2024 Accurate detection of spectrum holes is a useful requirement for cognitive radios that improves the efficiency of spectrum usage. The authors propose three novel, simple, and entropy‐based detectors for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio. The authors evaluate the probability of detection of these three detectors: Vasicek's entropy detector, truncated Vasicek's entropy detector, and Van Es' entropy detector, over a predefined probability of false‐alarm. In particular, the authors provide the approximate and asymptotic test statistics for these detectors in the presence and absence of Nakagami‐m fading, noise variance uncertainty, and optimised detection threshold. Furthermore, the authors provide a detailed comparison study among all the detectors via Monte Carlo simulations and justify authors results through real‐world data. The authors’ experimental results establish a superior performance of truncated Vasicek's entropy detector over Vasicek's entropy detector, energy detector, differential entropy detector and Van Es' entropy detector in practically viable scenarios.
Norm-based spectrum sensing for cognitive radios under generalised Gaussian noise Arati Halaki, Sutapa Sarkar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath, R. Muralishankar Iet Networks, 2023 Cognitive radio (CR) systems are configured to dynamically assess the spectrum utilisation and contribute towards an improved spectrum efficiency. Hence, accurate detection of the incumbent signal in a given channel, popularly known as spectrum sensing (SS), is essential for CR. Here, in the domain of SS, the authors introduce a new goodness‐of‐fit test (GoFT) founded on p‐norm of the observations at the receiver node. To capture the heavy‐tailed nature of noise distribution in practical communication channels, the authors utilise generalised Gaussian distribution (GGD) as a noise model. A novel p‐norm detector (PND) and a geometric power detector (GPD) is proposed and corresponding probability density function (PDF) under GGD is derived. Via Monte Carlo simulations, the authors show a match of the derived PDFs with the simulation results. Using Neyman‐Pearson framework the performances of PND and GPD are compared with an existing differential entropy detector (DED), the well‐known energy detector (ED) and joint correlation and energy detector (CED) under GGD noise model. Evaluation of proposed PND and GPD utilising Monte Carlo simulations indicate a superior performance. Further, the experiments employing real‐world data establish superiority of the proposed detectors as compared to existing techniques. The authors derive and implement an optimised threshold for PND, providing further improvement in performance.
Outage Analysis of Single-Stage Relay NOMA Over Power Line Communication Under Impulsive Noise Roopesh Ramesh, R. Muralishankar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath 2023 9th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication ICSC 2023, 2023 In this paper, we study and present the performance based on the outage probability of a single-stage, relay-aided, cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access over power line communication under a Bernoulli-Gaussian impulsive noise. The network setup comprises one source node and two destination nodes, among which one of the nodes closer to the source acts as a relay, transmitting a symbol from the source node to the destination. The relay considered is a decoded-and-forward relay, which helps to transmit the source symbol to the destination over two-time frames. We derive the mathematical expressions to determine outage probabilities at the relay and destination nodes within the studied network. Furthermore, we develop an optimization problem related to the power distribution coefficient at the source, deriving the corresponding mathematical expressions. To validate our analysis, we employ simulations and numerical methods.
Dual-Stage NOMA for Relay-Enabled Power Line Communication Under Bernoulli-Gaussian Noise Roopesh Ramesh, R. Muralishankar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath 2023 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing VLSI Electrical Circuits and Robotics Discover 2023, 2023 This paper studies the performance of outage probability in a dual-stage (DS) cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system for power line communication (PLC) in the presence of Bernoulli-Gaussian impulsive noise. The network configuration includes a single source node and two destination nodes among which one the node act as a decode-and-forward (DF) relay node. This is similar to the existing research on DS NOMA setup, which primarily focused on additive white Gaussian noise. In this setup, both the source and relay transmit data to the destination node using NOMA across two consecutive time frames. We provide mathematical expressions for outage probabilities at both nodes in the context of Bernoulli-Gaussian noise. Furthermore, our analysis is validated using numerical methods and Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, our results indicate that a DS-NOMA configuration exhibits lower outage probability when compared to a single-stage NOMA setup.
Generalized energy-based spectrum sensing: Active threshold correction under noise uncertainty Sutapa Sarkar, R. Muralishankar, Sanjeev Gurugopinath 2021 2nd International Conference for Emerging Technology Incet 2021, 2021 In this paper, we propose an active threshold correction (ATC) for the generalized energy detector (GED) under spectrum sensing to alleviate the effects of noise variance uncertainty (NVU) and fading. First, we derive the probability of false alarm and the probability of detection for GED, with an arbitrary exponent, assuming that the test statistic follows a gamma distribution and under Nakagami-m fading. Next, we present the effect of NVU on the performance of GED. Later, we derive an analytic expression for the corresponding ATC under NVU and Nakagami-m fading. Through numerical method, we show that by employing the ATC, the performance of GED improves in the presence of NVU and fading. Moreover, in the considered setup for GED, we show that the GED outperforms the energy detector.
