In this paper, we consider relay selection technique in a cooperative cellular network where user terminals act as relays to help the communications between a base station (BS) and cell-edge users (CEUs). We firstly build cooperative sets for source mobile users according to their transmission radius. Then, transmission power sets are built for all mobile users according to SNR thresholds. Finally,...
In Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, Energy-Efficient (EE) and Mobility Load Balancing (MLB) are two important functions to optimize the network performance. In order to deal with the energy consumption in downlink LTE system for unbalanced low load scenarios, we built an effective EE resource allocation optimization model and employed a low complexity method to achieve the goal of the optimization...
In this paper, we propose several channel allocation schemes via the Game theoretical approaches for the distributed CR networks. Distinguished from the literature, more important factors are taken into account when designing the potential games for the interweave and underlay CR networks, i.e. the queueing delay, complete inter-system interference and protection of primary users (PUs). Particularly,...
Relay node (RN) plays a key role in cooperative communications and RN selection may substantially affects the performance gain. In this paper we address the issue of RN selection while taking into account Medium Access Control (MAC) overhead, which is incurred by not only handshake signaling but also frame retransmissions due to transmission error. We use a theoretical model to analyze the cooperation...
Cognitive radio has been suggested as an efficient method for secondary users to promote the efficient utilization of spectrum. Meanwhile, Cooperative relay allows different users or nodes to share resources and to create collaboration through distributed transmission in a wireless networks. The combination of Cognitive radio with cooperative communication could significantly improve the system performance...
In this paper, an error-prone cooperative retransmission strategy (E-CRS) is proposed for wireless networks. In E-CRS, when a receiver can not receive a frame correctly, the retransmission is performed by a cooperative node that overhears the packet successfully, rather than by original source. The throughput of the proposed scheme is analyzed and evaluated in error-prone and no collision channel...
This paper proposes a novel Cross-layer Cooperation Method for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks (CCM). CCM selects cooperation nodes through cross-layer consideration of both channel state of physical layer and control overhead on MAC layer to maximize throughput. CCM uses the enhanced three-way handshaking to allocate the bandwidths between source node and cooperation nodes. Extensive simulations are conducted...
Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising technology for future wireless networks. In order to reduce the interference to primary system, CR users have to detect the spectra with low overhead and reliably in sensing slots, which has to occupy part of the available resources. In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing solution that is based on cooperative wireless sensors to detect and collect available...
Falling is a common health problem for elderly. It is reported that more than one third of adults 65 and older fall each year in the United States. To address the problem, we are currently developing an acoustic fall detection system, FADE, which automatically detects a fall and reports it to the caregiver. In a previous version, FADE used a 3-microphone linear array to eliminate the false alarms...
Cooperative relaying has the potential to enhance wireless link throughput, while rateless-coded transmission adapts to the wireless channel automatically. The combination of both holds promising performance enhancement for practical wireless communications. Relay selection is a challenging issue in conventional cooperative communications and attracts extensive research. However, there is little literature...
Spectrum under-utilization is one of the bottlenecks of the development of wireless communication, and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) is envisioned as a novel mechanism to solve the problem of spectrum scarcity. Spectrum auction has been recognized as an effective way to achieve DSA, wherein the primary spectrum owner (PO) acts as an auctioneer who has free channels and is willing to sell them for...
Cooperative communication can obtain spatial diversity without using multiple antennas, and thus achieve more reliable transmission or consume less power. Accordingly, a new cooperative MAC mechanism in wireless networks, the DCMAC, is proposed in this paper. The DCMAC makes full use of the broadcasting characteristics of wireless channel to obtain channel information, chooses the most suitable cooperative...
Small dim infrared target detection and tracking is the key technology of the infrared surveillance system. The track-before-detect(TBD) algorithm can integrate the unthresholded measurements over time to track the low signal-to-noise ratio target. In this paper, a marginalized particle filter based TBD algorithm is proposed for small dim infrared target detection and tracking. By marginalizing out...
In DVB-S receive system, the decoder applies ergodic principle to auto-recover the convolutional code information. The general method makes decision by packet sync byte, and the recovery time is excessively long. An efficient recovery scheme is proposed to reduce the time: taking advantage of the property of "Secondary Encode", applying the decision-mechanism with confidence value and adopting...
