Nano scale networks are futuristic networks deemed as enablers for the Internet of Nano Things, Body area nano networks, target tracking, anomaly/ abnormality detection at molecular level and neuronal therapy / drug delivery applications. Molecular communication is considered the most compatible communication technology for nano devices. However, connectivity in such networks is very low due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). Few research papers have addressed the issue of ISI mitigation in molecular communication. However, many of these methods are not adaptive to dynamic environmental conditions. This paper presents an enhancement over original Memory-1 ISI cancellation scheme using maximum likelihood estimation of a channel parameter (λ) to make it adaptable to variable channel conditions. Results of the Monte Carlo simulation show that, the connectivity (P_conn) improves by 28% for given simulation parameters and environmental conditions by using enhanced Memory-1 cancellation method. Moreover, this ISI mitigation method allows reduction in symbol time (Ts) up to 50 seconds i.e. an improvement of 75% is achieved.

In the holographic data storage system (HDSS), the data regarding the volume of a storage medium are recorded and read by the page, and the transmission rate and storage capacity can be increased because of two-dimensional, page-oriented data processing; furthermore, the multi-level HDSS can store more than one bit per pixel. For this same reason, however, and unlike conventional data-storage systems, the HDSS is hampered by two-dimensional (2D) intersymbol interference (ISI) and interpage interference (IPI). Progress regarding the published papers on 2D ISI, which is more severe in the multi-level HDSS, continues; however, mitigation of both 2D ISI and IPI in terms of the multi-level HDSS has not yet been studied. In this paper, we therefore propose a 4-level balanced-modulation code that simultaneously mitigates 2D ISI and IPI.

In this paper, DFE with feedforward section(FDFE) is used to mitigate ISI and improve BER generated in the course of storage and retrieval of high-density 2-dimensional data in digital holographic memory system. From the result of experiment, BER performance of DFE with feedforward section is improved about 37% than binary-decision course by direct thresholding.

In this paper, we propose an efficient concatenated code for both random and ISI errors on diffusion-based molecular communication channels. The proposed concatenated code was constructed by combining the ISI-mitigating code designed for ISI mitigation and the ISI-Hamming code strong against random errors, and the BER(bit error rate) performance was analyzed through simulation. In the case of the above M=1,200 channel environment, it was found that the error rate performance of the concatenated code follows the error rate performance of the ISI-mitigating code, which is strong against ISI, and follows the error rate performance of the ISI-Hamming code, which is strong against random errors, in the channel environment below M=600. In M=600~1,200, the concatenated code shows the best error rate performance among those of three codes, which is analyzed because it can correct both random errors and errors caused by ISI. In the following cases of below M=800, it can be seen that the error rate of the concatenated code and the ISI-mitigating code shows an error rate difference of about 1.0×10^-1 on average.

Doppler Effect is a prominent obstacle in vehicular networks, which dramatically increase the Bit-Error-Rate (BER). This problem is accompanied with the presence of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in which the Doppler shift interrupts the subcarriers orthogonality. Additionally, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) are likely to occur which corrupt the received signal. In this paper, the single-carrier combined with the frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) is utilized as an alternative to the OFDM over the IEEE 802.11p uplink vehicular channels. The Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) are employed in order to study the impact of these equalization techniques along with the SC-FDE on the propagation medium. In addition, we aim to enhance the BER, improve the transmitted signal quality and achieve ISI and PAPR mitigation. The proposed schemes are investigated and we found that the MMSE outperforms the ZF equalization under different Doppler shift effects and modulations.

The underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is characterized by doubly spread channel. It is included in the time-variant doppler shift and delay-time spreads due to multiple paths. To compensate such distorted signals, various techniques including time-reversal processing, spatial diversity, phase estimator, and equalizer are being applied. In this paper, a spatial filter based on the beamforming is proposed as a method to mitigate such inter-symbol interferences that are generated in time-varying multipath channels. The proposed technique realizes coherent communications by steering the direction of the desired signals and improves the performance of UAC by increasing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio using the array gain.

In this paper, a generalized blind adaptive algorithm is introduced for multi-user detection of direct sequence code division multiple access (OS-COMA) wireless communication systems. The main property of the proposed algorithm is its ability to resolve the multipath fading channel resulting in inter symbol interference (ISI) as well as multiple access interference (MAI). Other remarkable properties are its low complexity and mitigation to the near-far problem as well as its insensitivity to asynchronous transmission. The proposed system is based on the minimization of the output energy and convergence to the minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector. It is blind in the sense that it needs no knowledge of the other users' signatures, only the intended user signature and timing are required. Furthermore, the convergence of the minimum output energy (MOE) detector to the MMSE detector is analytically proven in case of M-ary PSK. Depicted results show that the performance of the generalized system dominates those previously considered. Further improvements are obtained when multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technique is employed.

In this paper, we described a received signal model in terms of the starting point of FFT window and derive a post-detection SINR for the receiver with MMSE filter and the corresponding filter coefficients in order to mitigate the effects of interferences caused by time and frequency selective fading channels and time difference of arrival (TDoA) in OFDMA-based Mesh Networks. In addition, we proposed an MMSE Bidirectional Successive Detection (BSD) technique which can suppress the effects of interferences among multi-nodes without any redundant FFT operations. It was shown by simulation that the proposed interference suppression technique has not an error floor at higher average SNR than 30dB in terms of 64QAM uncoded BER contrary to the conventional techniques.

Weld overlay was first used in power plants in the US in the early 1980s as an interim method of repairing the welds of flawed piping joints. Weld overlaid piping joints in nuclear power plants must be examined periodically using ultrasonic examination technology. Portable phased array ultrasonic technology has recently become available. Currently, the application of preemptive weld overlays as a mitigation technique and/as a method to improve the examination surface condition for more complex configurations is becoming more common. These complex geometries may require several focused conventional transducers for adequate inspection of the overlay, the original weld, and the base material. Alternatively, Phased array ultrasonic probes can be used to generate several inspection angles simultaneously at various focal depths to provide better and faster coverage than that possible by conventional methods. Thus, this technology can increase the speed of examinations, save costs, and reduce radiation exposure. In this paper, we explain the general sequence of the inspection of weld overlay and the results of signal analysis for some PAUT (phased array ultrasonic testing) signals detected in on-site inspections.
