In this paper, we propose a new downlink non-orthogonal multiuser superposition transmission scheme for future 5G cellular networks, which we refer to as the lattice partition multiple access (LPMA). In this proposed design, the base station transmits multilevel lattice codes for multiple users. Each user's code level corresponds to a distinct prime and is weighted by a product of all distinct primes...
Abstract-It has been postulated in literature that three gain types are introduced into the radio access part of cellular networks by device-to-device communication, namely the proximity gain, hop gain and reuse gain. These gain types have further been shown to be captured by a resource efficiency metric. We investigate the influence of mode selection and scheduling on the resource efficiency gains...
With the explosive growth of smart devices and mobile data traffic, limited fronthaul capacity has become a notable bottleneck of green communication access networks, such as cloud radio access networks(C-RANs). In this paper, we proposed a joint user association and downlink beamforming scheme for green C-RANs to minimize the network power consumption with the limited fronthaul links. We first formulate...
In Uplink Coordinated multipoint (Uplink CoMP) schemes as in LTE [1], multiple base-stations (EnodeBs) receive signals from the same user equipment (UE). Combining this information appropriately using the backhaul is known to yield high gains, especially when the interference avoidance is used across the EnodeBs in CoMP. We consider a load-balanced, dense, small-cell deployment where a UE may be connected...
Virtual machine (VM) consolidation and switch/path consolidation are two typical techniques for improving energy efficiency in data centers (DCs). Most of existing work separately optimize VM consolidation and switch consolidation which results in inferiority of the optimization performance. Moreover, these work usually handle a user application as a VM flow (i.e., a source VM is connected to a destination...
This paper investigates the joint user association (UA) and user scheduling (US) for load balancing in a wireless downlink heterogeneous network by formulating a network-wide utility maximization problem. In order to efficiently solve the problem, we first approximate the original non-convex throughput function to a concave function, and demonstrate that the gap for such approximation approaches zero...
In mobile edge computing systems, mobile devices can offload compute-intensive tasks to a nearby \emph{cloudlet}, so as to save energy and extend battery life. Unlike a fully-fledged cloud, a cloudlet is a small-scale datacenter deployed at a wireless access point, and thus is highly constrained by both radio and compute resources. We show in this paper that separately optimizing the allocation of...
Data access control is a challenging issue in cloud storage. Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE) is a potential cryptographic technique to address the above issue, which is able to enforce data access control based on users' permanent characteristics. However, in some scenarios, access policies are associated with users' temporary conditions (such as access time and location) as...
5G Radio Access Networks (RANs) are supposed to increase their capacity by 1000x to handle growing number of connected devices and increasing data rates. The concept of cloud-RAN (CRAN) has been recently proposed to decouple digital units (DUs) and radio units (RUs) of base stations (BSs), and centralize DUs into central offices. CRAN can ease the implementation of advanced radio coordination techniques,...
In this paper, we show that by investigating inherent time delays between different users in a multiuser scenario, we are able to cancel interference more efficiently. Time asynchrony provides another tool to cancel interference which results in preserving other resources like frequency, time and code. Therefore, we can save the invaluable resource of frequency band and also increase spectral...
The nested array, which is implemented by nonuniform antenna placement, is an effective approach to achieve O(N^2) degrees of freedom (DoF) with an antenna array of N antennas. Such DoF refers to the number of directions of incoming signals that can be resolved. With the increased number of DoF, an important application of nested array is to nullify the interference signals from multiple directions...
In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous network composed of a full-duplex macrocell and a half- duplex femtocell. The macro-base station (BS) is equipped with L antennas where each antenna can be utilized either for downlink transmission or uplink reception. On the other hand, the femto-BS is equipped with M antennas that are used for downlink transmission. We assume that each user equipment has...
Device-to-Device (D2D) communications are considered as one of the key technologies for 5G wireless communication systems. In this paper, a frequency reuse scheme, in which multiple D2D links share spectrum resources with multiple cellular links simultaneously, is studied. Two novel concepts are introduced, namely the D2D pool and the cellular pool. D2D links in the D2D pool reuse uplink resource...
In this paper, we present a new and significant theoretical discovery. If the absolute height difference between base station (BS) antenna and user equipment (UE) antenna is larger than zero, then the network capacity performance in terms of the area spectral efficiency (ASE) will continuously decrease as the BS density increases for ultra-dense (UD) small cell networks (SCNs). This performance behavior...
We present a novel approach to support stateless forwarding in information centric networks with emphasis on the CCN/NDN architectures by proposing a space-efficient in-packet filter based on the encoded counting bloom filter. Proposed solution avoids the typical pitfalls of using classic Bloom Filters by significantly reducing the false positive transmission attempts, while supporting reliable and...
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 wireless sensor networks, the need for ultra- low power consuming nodes is one of the main motivations for research in such field. Because radio sections in sensor nodes contribute to a large extent to the overall power consumption, the focus of this study is on the RF transceiver. The aim is to reduce the average power consumption which depends significantly on the circuit architecture design,...
In Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) with high volume of data recording activity, a mobile sink such as a Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) can be used to offload data from the sensor nodes. When the AUV approaches the underwater node, it can use high data rate optical communication. However, the data is not considered delivered when it was transferred from the sensor node to the AUV, but when...
In this paper, we present a stochastic geometry based framework to analyze the coverage probability and ergodic rate with different channel allocations for device-to-device (D2D) communications. Different from existing works, we assume there are two different kinds of users, cellular users and D2D users, in the muti-channel uplink cellular network. Specifically, cellular users can upload data to the...
With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, the huge amount of energy consumed by data centers has gained much attention. Current proposals address the energy efficiency problem by two major methods: optimizing the allocation of physical servers and network elements (routers or switches). In order to improve resource utilization and minimize the energy consumption, the former method focuses...
