In this paper we propose a novel self-organizing resource allocation scheme with minimal feedback information based on minority game (MG). Designing wireless protocols with minimal feedback is especially important, because the price for information exchange in wireless networks is high and reduces the overall capacity of the system. This is especially true for networks that may rely strongly on self-organizing...
Linear precoding plays an important role in the spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems which are considered one of the primary candidates for the physical-layer techniques in the next-generation wireless communication systems. It requires the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter to adapt the transmitted signal...
We propose an algorithm to choose a reasonable backoff window based on prediction of the congestion of downstream and upstream nodes. The algorithm listens to the number of consecutive idle slots of the wireless network, then calculates the congestion and feeds it back to the downstream node and upstream node. When sending packets, a reasonable backoff window is chosen, depending on downstream and...
This paper studies the performance of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) service in the third generation (3G) long-term evolution (LTE)-Advanced relaying networks. We propose a semi-persistent scheduling algorithm for the VoIP service in the LTE-Advanced relaying networks. The performance of the presented algorithm is verified by system-level simulation. Deployments with different number of relay...
In order to improve transmission throughput of a multi-hop wireless network, many efforts have been made in recent years to reduce traffic and hence transmission collisions by constructing backbone networks with minimum size. However, many other important issues need to be considered. Instead of simply minimizing the number of backbone nodes or supporting some isolated network features, in this work,...
Existing work has shown that random coding across multi-cast sessions can reduce the system delay significantly, however, such a scheme requires the strong assumption that each source has the priori information of other sources' messages. Actually the broadcasting nature of radio propagation can provide an opportunity to realize collaboration across sessions without causing much system overhead. In...
In this paper, we analyze the impact of end-to-end (E2E) delay variation on stripped sessions, whose packets are distributed over multiple links of multi-mode mobile terminal (MMT). The results of this analysis signify the importance of minimized out-of-sequence (OOS) arrival of packets belonging to a stream, while traversing through multiple radio networks to reach their destination. We, then propose...
In mobile and wireless networks, data broadcasting for popular data items enables the efficient utilization of the limited wireless bandwidth. However, efficient data scheduling schemes are needed to fully exploit the benefits of data broadcasting. This motivated the proposal of several broadcast scheduling policies, which have mostly focused on either minimizing response time, or drop rate when requests...
The traffic in the high-speed wireless multimedia network will be a mixture of voice, video and data messages having a large variety of characteristic and inherent requirement. The present work is a medium access control protocol for time division-code division multiple access system to distribute the available bandwidth among the mixture of different traffic classes depending upon their quality of...
In multi-channel wireless network, several nodes can transmit data simultaneously in different channels. Thus the overall network performance can be improved significantly compared to single channel network. Various multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed to coordinate the usage of multiple channels. However, multi-channel MAC protocols that use dynamic channel selection can cause multi-channel...
Multi-channel MAC protocols are proposed to increase the capacity of wireless network. However, dynamic channel selection mechanism based on channel usage information from one-hop neighbor nodes causes multi-channel hidden node problems in a multi-channel multi-hop wireless network. In this paper, we propose a new approach of channel selection. Nodes snoop data channels during idle times and then...
IEEE802.11 suffered from limited data confidentiality and cumbersome procedure for exchange of security parameters. In response to the security limitations in IEEE802.11, IEEE introduced 802.1x for authentication and key management. IEEE802.1x is a port based network access control protocol that uses extensible authentication protocol (EAP) at the transport layer.IEEE802.1x defines authentication...
Ubiquitous personal content transfer in a heterogeneous environment includes both global infrastructure based communications and local infrastructureless transfer, which leads to a hybrid networking environment. The MIP/NEMO standard can support ubiquitous content transfer, but is inefficient for local content transfer. Infrastructureless communication using ad hoc mode is often utilized by individual...
We present an "opportunistic" scheduling policy with the objective of improving delay performance for time-sensitive users in wireless networks. Since packet delay depends on both resource allocation and time-varying capacity of wireless channels, we introduce a search radius (SR) into the framework of packet fair queueing (PFQ) and employ maximum relative SNR (Max-rSNR) as scheduling rule...
