Auction-based spectrum sharing is a promising solution to improve the spectrum utilization in 5G networks. Along with the spatial reuse, we observe that the ability to adjust the coverage of a spectrum bidder can provide room to itself for further negotiation while auctioning. In this paper, we propose a novel economic tool, size-negotiable auction mechanism (SNAM), which provides a hybrid solution...
In this paper, we propose a non-coordinated Licensed Shared Access (LSA) model which enables Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) acting as domestic licensees to provide enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) in border areas. The proposed model allows the domestic licensees to rely on their backup strategies while utilizing available spectrum resources, to avoid severe interference and maintain their QoS, whenever...
Femto base stations will be widely deployed in 5G times for compensating poor cellular coverage for use in residential or small business environments. In this paper, we propose a spectrum sharing framework, where a cluster of femtocells are under the control of a centralized local manager. The framework assumes that each femto base station has the sniffing ability that can detect its neighbor femtocells...
A distributed antenna system (DAS) architecture is a key enabler for Cloud Radio Access Networks (CRAN) where geographically separated base stations are connected to a centralized processing and decision making unit. Many schemes have been proposed to leverage Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and co- ordinated joint transmission between base stations to improve cell-edge performance for static network...
The explosion of different types of wireless communications is leading to an impending spectrum famine. As a result, spectrum sharing has gained increasing interest from governments, industry and regulators, such as FCC in US and CEPT in Europe. Licensed Shared Access (LSA), developed by CEPT and ETSI, is a concept for an efficient use of current spectrum resources to enable keeping pace with increasing...
A distributed antenna system (DAS) architecture is considered to be a key enabler for further Network Virtualization where different network configurations are created as needed by a centralized decision making unit that is typically integrated into the Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) which offers a potential architecture for 5G wireless communication systems. Many schemes have been proposed for...
Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) is a new wireless communications technology designed to sense human's vital signals through tiny nodes in, on and around the human body wirelessly. MBAN will play an important role in enabling ubiquitous and non-invasive telemetry and healthcare systems in the future. In this paper, we firstly explore the opportunities of MBAN from the point of new applications, and...
In this paper we consider the inter-network interference problem in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). We propose a distributed inter-network interference aware power control algorithm motivated by game theory. A power control game is formulated considering both interference between nearby networks and energy efficiency of WBANs. We derive a distributed power control algorithm called ProActive Power...
Due to the requirement of high spectrum efficiency, the frequency reuse of one is targeted for next generation OFDMA-based cellular networks. Such a frequency planning strategy can lead to unacceptable inter-cell interference levels experienced especially by users located at the cell edge area. Soft frequency reuse (SFR) is considered as an effective frequency reuse scheme for inter-cell interference...
In this paper, we propose a non-cooperative power control game to mitigate inter-network interference in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which use emerging short-range wireless communication technology inside, on or around the human body for healthcare, entertainment and ubiquitous computing purposes. Interference endangers the reliability of WBANs especially in critical medical applications...
In multiuser MIMO systems, the achievable system data rate as well as quality of service (QoS) of individual users is limited by the inter-user interference (IUI). The interference balancing issue via power allocation can be usually formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem which will become more intractable with nonconvex QoS constraints. In this paper we focus on the challenging QoS-aware optimal...
