Multi-replicA decoding using corRelation baSed LocALisAtion (MARSALA) is a recent random access technique designed for satellite return links. It follows the multiple transmission and interference cancellation scheme of Contention Resolution Diversity Slotted Aloha (CRDSA). In addition, at the receiver side, MARSALA uses autocorrelation to localise replicas of a same packet so as to coherently combine...
Elevation beamforming and Full Dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO) are currently active areas of research and standardization in 3GPP LTE-Advanced. FD-MIMO utilizes an active antenna array system (AAS), that provides the ability of adaptive electronic beam control over the elevation dimension, resulting in a better system performance as compared to the conventional 2D MIMO systems. FD-MIMO is more advantageous...
In this paper, we consider a T \times R massive MIMO system with up to R simultaneous links (T>> R>>1) and nonlinear amplifiers in each transmitter branch. The impact of a nonlinear amplification is analytically studied and accurate expressions for the spectral characterization of the transmitted signals, as well as the bit-error-rate (BER) are derived. The accuracy...
This paper conducts outage analysis for cooperative hybrid automatic repeat request with incremental redundancy (C-HARQ-IR). A general time-correlated Nakagami fading channel including fast fading and Rayleigh fading as special cases is considered. An efficient truncated inverse moment matching method is developed to derive the outage probability in closed- form. The accuracy of the analytical results...
In this paper, a novel impulsive noise (IN) cancel- lation scheme based on structured compressed sensing (SCS) for multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) power line communication systems is proposed. The SCS theory is introduced to IN recovery for the first time in this paper to the best of the authors' knowledge, and the gap of lack of research on the...
This paper analyzes the performance of energy beamforming in spatially correlated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying systems, where the source and destination nodes are equipped with multiple spatially correlated antennas and communicating via a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) single antenna energy-constrained relay. To maximize the overall harvested energy so as to enable long-distance...
The correlation of interference has been well quantified in Poisson networks where the interferers are independent of each other. However, there exists dependence among the base stations (BSs) in wireless networks. In view of this, we study the interference correlation in non-Poisson networks where the interferers are distributed as a Matern cluster process (MCP) and a second-order cluster process...
Recent development in Cloud and networking technologies have stimulated unification of network and Cloud service provisioning, in which service composition plays a crucial role. While encouraging progress has been made toward network-Cloud service composition, the impact of correlated network and Cloud services on the QoS of composite services, however, has not been sufficiently studied. In this paper,...
Demand side management (DSM) is a key mechanism to make smart grids cost efficient using electricity price forecasting issue. Price forecasting method takes the big price data into account, and gives estimates of the future electricity price. However, most of existing price forecasting methods cannot avoid redundancy at feature selection and lack of an integrated framework that coordinates the steps...
Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook have become important sources for users to acquire information. In those social networks, users obtain information from the posts/reposts of their social connections. To acquire information efficiently, users are motivated to connect to users who offer attractive and timely information. In this paper, we study how to effectively optimize social connections...
Sparse channel estimation (SCE) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with large number of virtual sub-carriers and regularly spaced pilots is studied in this paper. Such OFDM systems are present in wireless standards like long term evolution (LTE). We numerically evaluate the performance of popular compressive sensing (CS) algorithms and shows that low complexity CS algorithms...
In this paper, we investigate the coexistence problem between Wi-Fi and a pre-standard form of LTE over unlicensed bands, namely, LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U). We address two coexistence problems. First, the different access mechanisms for Wi-Fi and LTE-U can lead to an increase in the collision rate and higher latency for both systems. We propose a modified Wi-Fi operation mode, whereby Wi-Fi stations...
Channel state information (CSI) is usually necessary for downlink precoding, power allocation, etc. in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. When the base stations (BS) are equipped with massive elements, the training overhead required by conventional CSI estimation methods becomes overwhelming, leading to unacceptable loss of spectrum efficiency. In this paper, we investigate pilot design...
Customer satisfaction is an important factor governing adoption and retention of multimedia products and services, such as Over-The-Top(OTT) video transmission. Quality of Experience involves user-centric evaluation of various services. However, users differ in terms of their ratings of service quality. Some rating differences are due to unreliability (outlier users who are not motivated, or are not...
With Massive MIMO installed on High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), capacity analysis is conducted for both sparse users and hotspot users. Sparse users are assumed to follow the Poisson Point Process and their capacities are obtained via the random geometry theorem. For hotspot users, Massive MIMO combined with HAP-based communication is shown to be able to achieve the multiplexing gain thus increase...
Measures of complex network analysis, such as vertex centrality, have the potential to unveil existing network patterns and behaviors. They contribute to the understanding of networks and their components by analyzing their structural properties, which makes them useful in several computer science domains and applications. Unfortunately, there is a large number of distinct centrality measures and...
Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a promising technique for high-speed, low-cost wireless services with the rapid development and wide deployment of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). However, the broadcast nature of the VLC makes eavesdroppers easily intercept the light communication in various settings, e.g., offices, conference rooms and airport lobbies. Although previous work put forward physical...
Correlation-based algorithms are low-complexity spectrum sensing methods requiring little knowledge on primary signals or noise signals. However, their detection performance severely degrades in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime with low signal correlation, which happens to be quite common in practice. In this paper, a weighted correlation- based spectrum sensing scheme and its simplified...
In this paper, we investigate the low-overhead feedback for statistical channel information in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. As a promising technique for next generation cellular networks, massive MIMO has gained a lot of attention due to its ability to significantly improve the network performance. To reduce the feedback overhead in frequency division duplex systems, cascaded...
Identifying influential spreaders in online social networks (OSNs) has long been an important but difficult problem to be addressed. Distinguished from previous works that mainly focused on the stationary features of users' influence, we systematically study the variations of users' spreading capability given the fact that influential spreaders are more likely to be the targets of various cyber attacks...
