In this paper an octagon plan shaped building (study building) in presence of three square plan shaped building is subjected to boundary layer wind flow and the interference effects on the study building is investigated using Computational fluid dynamics. The variation of the pressure coefficients on different faces of the octagon building is studied both in isolated and interference conditions. Interference Factors (IF) are calculated for different faces of the study building which can be a powerful tool for designing similar plan shaped buildings in similar conditions. A metamodel of the IF, in terms of the distances among buildings is also established using Response Surface Method (RSM). This set of equations are optimized to get the optimum values of the distances where the IF is unity. An upstream Interference zone for this building setup and wind environment is established from these data. Uncertainty principle is also utilised to determine the optimum positions of the interfering buildings considering the uncertain nature of wind flow for minimum interference effect. The proposed procedure is observed to be computationally efficient in deciding optimum layout at buildings often required in city planning. The results show that the proposed RSM-based optimization approach captures the interference zone accurately with substantially less number of experiments.

In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme that guarantees transmission rate for each mobile stations by mitigating interference between a base station-to-mobile station link and a relay station-to-mobile station link. Specifically, we dynamically adjust the boundary between access zone and relay zone using signal to interference plus noise ratio. Moreover, we cluster the mobile stations under sever interference and manage the channel quality of these mobile stations by allocating additional radio resource. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the efficiency of radio resources and ensure fairness among mobile stations.

In the DS/CDMA mobile communication systems, the parallel interference canceller is used in order to reduce the multiple access interference and the multipath fading. It is needed the accurate interference estimate in the multistage parallel cancellation. In this paper, the adaptive cancellation method and the new tentative decision device arc proposed and the performance is analyzed. The adaptive cancellation method uses the normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm to calculate the weight adaptively, and new tentative decision device uses the hyperbolic tangent decision with null zone. Computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme has the improved performance and the number of user is increased 48% compared with the conventional receiver.

In this paper, the cascaded co-channel interference canceller using the dead zone decision is proposed to reduced the co-channel interference in the DS/CDMA communication with the multipath fading and its performance is analyzed. The cancellation scheme creates the replica of the co-channel interference using the data decision of correlator output and removes it at the next stage. The canceller uses the dead zone decision which is detecting strong signal to obtain a good performance in the mobile communication. The results of performance analysis show that the proposed cancellation scheme has the improved performance and the number of user is increased 4 times compared with the conventional receiver, and increased 17% compared with the hard decision. And also the perfect power control is required along with increasing the number of user.

The domestic overhead transmission lines use a vertical configuration and reverse phase arrangement, but when there is a limitation in steel tower height because the transmission lines pass a height limit zone or special zone, an application of triangular arrangement is necessary, and a study on the optimal phase arrangement to minimize inductive interference for this is necessary. If conductor arrangement are changed, the action of electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction becomes different from before changes, so the changed conductor arrangement should be reviewed in terms of inductive interference. So this paper presents an optimal phase arrangement to reduce inductive interference by calculating electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction according to conductor arrangement.

The behaviour of ground movement during the construction of two parallel tunnels in weathered zone and soft rock has been investigated. All the influencing factors for the behaviour of twin tunnel such as tunnel size, ground conditions, tunnel depth, pillar width and initial state of ground stresses were examined The results of FEM nonlinear analysis were compared with some of model test results in weathered zone to verify the numerical method. It was found that minimum interference was obtained in the parallel construction case when the twin tunnel distance (pillar width) is just over the twice of tunnel diameter. Guide line for the interference of twin tunnelling has been introduced for the ground of weathered zone and soft rock.

Narrowband interference can severely degrade the performance of GPS receivers. Detecting the presence of interference and then characterizing it can lead to its removal. Receivers can be reconfigured to focus on other signals or satellites that are less vulnerable to that interference at that moment. Using hardware reconfigurability of FPGA receivers and characterizing the effect of narrowband interference on the GNSS signal quality lead us to a new RFI mitigation technique in which the highest quality and less vulnerable signal can be chosen at each moment. In the previous work [1], the post processing capability of a software GPS receiver, has been used to detect and characterize the CW interference. This is achieved by passing the GPS signal and the interference through the correlator. Then, using the conventional definition of C/No as the squared mean of the correlator output divided by its variance, the actual C/No for each satellite is calculated. In this work, first the 'Exclusion zone' for each satellite signal has been defined and then by using some experiments the effects of different parameters like signal power, jamming power and the environmental noise power on the Exclusion zone have been analyzed. By monitoring the Doppler frequency of each satellite and using the actual C/No of each satellite using the traditional definition of C/No and actual data from a software GPS receiver, the decision to reconfigure the receiver to other signal can be made.

A subcarrier allocation scheme for base station (BS), relay station (RS) and mobile station (MS) can affect the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) relay systems. In this paper, we propose a subcarrier allocation scheme with inter-cell interference and network coding in OFDMA relay systems. In the network coding zone, we consider an environment where RS can transmit a frame to BS and MS simultaneously. We divide an OFDMA frame into downlink zone, uplink zone, and network coding zone. The proposed scheme allocates subcarriers to BS, RS, and MS for each zone with consideration of inter-cell interference in OFDMA relay systems. We evaluate the performance of the proposed subcarrier allocation scheme through simulation.

In wireless multi-hop network, many applications need multicast communication where the group leader needs to send data to all members of the group. Multicast routing provides a balanced, efficient, and fairness network environment for the group members. However, large load for transmission management to leader node and signal interference between several paths for multi-hop links always took long transmission delay and low throughput efficiency. In this paper, we propose a Zone-based Hierarchical Multicast Routing Protocol (ZHMP). This routing protocol is designed based on zone routing schemes, where proactive routing is applied for intra-zone node level multicasting and reactive routing is used for searching inter-zone paths. By each hierarchical and independent multicast working in separated zones, load of multicast source node will be distributed by several zone-level routings for a better load balance and signal interference between each multi-hop paths will be resisted for a maximum multicast throughput.

OFDM technology is already commonplace in the current mobile communication system environment. However, inter-cell interference causes many problems in the cellular system as seen from the problem caused by the surge in the use of smart phones. In this paper, we will research how user distribution influences a performance of a conventional proposed algorithm in the certain cell area and confirm it through computer simulations. As a result, we proved that there is an appropriate user distribution in the cell. In addition, it has an effect on the performance of inter-cell interference coordination.
