Sharing channel capacity among multi-rate sensors or synonymously packing the bandwidth while satisfying quality of service requirements stays as an important challenge. We present bio-inspired solutions to this problem by reducing it to the NP-hard multiple-choice knapsack problem. We employ various bio-inspired population-based meta-heuristics to allocate capacity to the requesting nodes in a sensor...
The proliferation of mobile device platforms and operating systems has resulted in an increased challenge for developers and mobile users alike. While developers face fragmentation issues in their efforts, mobile users find an increasing number of online services to access in a variety of ways. The increased adoption of HTML5-based service access methods, however, allows to circumvent some of these...
Mobile Cloud Computing enables resource limited mobile devices to support rich application services. Among three types of cloud services, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds provides compute infrastructure for mobile applications on demand. In IaaS-based mobile clouds, latency and bandwidth requirements can considered as critical factors impacting Quality of Service (QoS). Opposed to centralized...
Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is a promising wireless communication solution whereby radio resources are automatically varied to optimize performance in the changing wireless environment. Our work focuses on distributed CRN with rational and independent users. The eventual state often reached in such a system is Nash Equilibrium (NE); multiple NEs with different performance exists. In this paper we...
5G networks are expected to be highly energy efficient, with a 10 times lower consumption than today's systems. An effective way to achieve such a goal is to act on the backhaul network by controlling the nodes operational state and the allocation of traffic flows. To this end, in this paper we formulate energy-efficient flow routing on the backhaul network as an optimization problem. In light of...
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as a promising candidate for fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. Although, NOMA promises large data rates, however, it also offers significant interference especially when the number of users is large. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a low complexity orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based NOMA system, which uses the...
In this demo paper we present a dynamic spectrum-level slicing (DSLS) implementation for heterogeneous networks based on an open source software/hardware platform known as OpenAirInterface. Assuming the network traffic load changes every time interval, we mathematically formulate the DSLS as an optimization problem with the corresponding sets of constraints.
The performance of wireless body area networks (WBANs) may be degraded due to co-channel interference, i.e., when sensors of different coexisting WBANs transmit at the same time-slots using the same channel. In this paper, we exploit the 16 channels available in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed international band of ZIGBEE, and propose a distributed scheme that opts to avoid interference through channel to...
In a device to device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular network, total system sum rate can be improved if cellular user equipments (UEs) and D2D pairs share resource blocks (RBs). We consider such an optimization problem where the objective is to maximize the total sum rate of the system while sharing RBs among cellular UEs and D2D pairs and maintaining some quality of service (QoS) requirements...
The target of this paper is to propose a practical low-complexity power allocation algorithm that strikes a good balance between Spectral Efficiency (SE) and power saving for the downlink of interference-limited cellular networks. Because abundant interference usually results from dense frequency reuse and high power transmission, power optimization schemes are critical to interference management...
In this paper, we consider the multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel with a cooperative jammer (CJ). Motivated by the fact that corrupting pilot signals can effectively degrade the channel estimation at the eavesdropper (Eve), we emphasize that the physical-layer security can be enhanced by introducing jamming signals in pilot phase. Therefore, we propose a cooperative jamming scheme...
This paper proposes a novel power optimization technique in which DRX cycle is activated based on the scheduling decision. DRX MAC Control Element (CE) command is issued to the UEs for which scheduling is not possible in DRX ON duration time. Simulation results show that, significant gain can be achieved in power saving using the proposed method under specific scheduler design parameter conditions...
In this work, we propose a link adaptation scheme called truncated channel inversion (TCI) as an effective power allocation strategy for block adaptive modulation, coding, and spatial mode (AMCS). Since water-filling based power allocation is no longer optimal to minimize bit error rate (BER) in block modulation system, block AMCS is considered as a practical link adaptation scheme. We first investigate...
The performance gains from dynamic allocation of radio resources across multiple heterogeneous networks is studied. Through virtualization, the physical radio resources of the heterogeneous networks are first abstracted into a centralized pool of virtual radio resources. A dynamic spectrum-level slicing algorithm to share these radio resources across the different networks is then presented. This...
