Fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks are expected to achieve 1000 times higher capacity compared with fourth-generation wireless networks. Thus, improving the spectrum efficiency (SE) is a crucial problem, which must be considered. Cognitive radio (CR) is considered an effective approach to alleviate the spectrum scarcity problem. In this paper, based on the location information of the primary...
In this paper, the problem of jointly allocating bits, subcarriers and power to maximize the total transmit bit rate in an OFDM based cognitive radio (CR) is studied. Moreover, different service requirements of SUs are also considered. Since “underlay“ is adopted as the spectrum shared model, secondary users (SU) in the CR system are allowed to utilize any part of frequency band as long as the interference...
We consider traffic engineering (TE) in networks where quality of service (QoS)-guaranteed as well as best effort (BE) services are present. We propose a joint TE optimization technique for both QoS and BE traffic using multi-objective optimization framework. We show that joint TE optimization results in more efficient network resource usage compared to sequential TE methodology where TE decision...
In this paper, we introduce new solutions to handle real-time video traffic, such as video conferencing, in the future software-defined radio access networks. The real-time video is well-known for its high peak-to-mean rate ratio. This is a major challenge for traffic engineering and radio resource allocation, especially in small cell radio networks. We first propose an online method to dynamically...
Device-to-Device (D2D) communications have been proposed recently to improve the spectral efficiency. In this paper, we consider physical-layer security in D2D communication as an underlay to cellular networks with an eavesdropper. Benefiting from the underlaid spectrum reuse, D2D users can contribute to the system secrecy capacity, while D2D users may interfere the cellular users and decrease their...
Software defined networking (SDN) decouples control plane functionality from the data plane and features the presence of programmable dumb network devices, which have no or little intelligence and take control commands from a central controller at the control plane. The central controller is responsible for controlling data plane hardware and optimizing network operation. Centralized network optimization...
We consider central traffic engineering in a software-defined radio access network (SD-RAN) consisting of routers, wireless access nodes, and wired/wireless links. We present a multi-path traffic engineering formulation for downlink transmission considering both backhaul and wireless access constraints. We show large throughput and quality of experience (QoE) gains over traditional single-path transmission...
MAC (Media Access Control) protocols for wireless Ad hoc networks with directional antennas have been studied to increase network capacity for years, since directional antennas can offer long-range communications and enhance the possibility of spatial multiplexing. This paper proposes a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)-based MAC algorithm with directional antennas, which is named SDVCS (Slotted...
In this paper, we present a video decoder chip for H.264/AVC high profile, MPEG-1/2 main profile and AVS Jprofile, which is capable of 60fps 1080p decoding at 200MHz. By applying a dedicated DRAM sub-system and a 2-D cache architecture, 50% of pins for DRAM connection and 36% of power consumption are saved, compared to state-of-the-art work in a system perspective. Meanwhile, 38% of gate count is...
