We consider the problem of UpLink (UL) scheduling in relay-assisted Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks and propose a Buffer-based Channel dependent Scheduler (BCS) for the same. Our objectives are to minimize packet loss due to buffer overflow and increase resource utilization efficiency while ensuring fairness among users. This is achieved by utilizing the Buffer Status Report (BSR) available in...
Heterogeneous cellular networks which consist of macrocells and small cells can offer significant capacity gain by utilizing the resources of the small cells. However, to achieve this, the interference between the macrocells and the small cells must be carefully managed. In this work, we propose an uplink intercell interference control (ICIC) scheme which is a unified ICIC approach of handover based...
In this paper, we address the problem of global transmit power minimization in a self-configuring network where radio devices are subject to operate at a minimum signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) level. We model the network as a parallel Gaussian interference channel and we introduce a fully decentralized algorithm (based on trial and error) able to statistically achieve a configuration...
To account for randomly distributed nodes in a wireless ad hoc network, the random access transport capacity is defined as the average maximum rate of successful end-to-end transmission over some distance. In this paper, we consider a random access transport capacity for a dual-hop relaying to find the end-to-end throughput of wireless ad hoc network, where each node relays using Amplify-and-Forward...
A novel decomposed transceiver design scheme is developed for multiuser non-regenerative MIMO relay downlink systems. With a decomposed relay structure, the whole system can be decomposed into a point-to-point and a point-to-multipoint systems, thus the transceiver design can be individually proceeded for the first and second hop. In the first hop, the transceiver is derived to minimize the mean square...
In this paper, we analysis the capacity of the clustered network multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with overlap. We firstly propose a strategy for clustering base stations (BSs) for the analysis tractability. With an assumption of a large number of transmit and receive antennas, an analytical expression of the ergodic capacity using random matrix theorems is derived. In particular, we...
In this paper, a novel HARQ transmission scheme based on network coding is proposed for wireless unicast scenarios. Instead of retransmitting erroneous packets individually, a network coded packet constructed by the XOR of two erroneous packets is transmitted similar to network coding. In order to fully exploit the network coded packet in combination with the previously received erroneous packets,...
We present a new co-operative scheduling approach which provides not only more reliability but also higher effective capacity. Cooperation region is defined for active handoff users between two base stations (BSs) based on the user quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. A proper definition of co-operation or handoff region, where the user can be scheduled in a cooperative manner from more than one...
A multicommodity Minimum-Cost Maximum-Flow algorithm for routing multiple unicast traffic flows in infrastructure wireless mesh networks, represented as commodities to be routed in an undirected or directed graph, is presented. The routing-cost per edge can be any metric, i.e, a delay, a SNR, etc. To minimize resource-usage and transmission power, the routing-cost is formulated as a Bandwidth-Distance...
In the paper, an improved link adaptation scheme is proposed for the WiMedia MB-OFDM UWB system, in which quality of service (QoS) support is provided. The proposed scheme consists of three functional blocks: link quality indicator (LQI) calculator, frame error rate (FER) estimator, and transmitter (TX) parameter selector. Instead of using the average receive SNR (ASNR) as LQI, a new LQI metric is...
In this paper, we propose a collaborative spectrum sensing method based on Stackelberg game in order to improve the sensing performance of cognitive radio users, especially when they are operating under severe channel fading. In this scheme the users with acceptable received SNR are allowed to lead the network sensing process and share their observations with the ones experiencing weak channel conditions...
In a multicast scenario, the performance is usually determined, and therefore limited, by the weakest link present in the system. With multiple co-channel multicast groups, the problem is further exacerbated due to interference from other transmissions. In this work we investigate an alternative communication scheme, in which additional coding at the application layer is used, spanning over a number...
In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm combining power control and scheduling for densely deployed femtocells networks. The strong interference in the downlink from the femtocells should be well mitigated to satisfy the quality of service (QoS) requirement of femtocell users. The considered optimization problem is formulated as minimizing the total power consumption, while the QoS requirements...
In this work, we deal with the Wireless LAN planning problem. We study this problem and we propose to couple its two major issues: AP placement and channel assignment to treat them jointly. Here, we propose a novel fast and scalable three-phase heuristic algorithm (TPHA). Our proposal is able to resolve the defined multiobjective problem to provide (1) the efficient number of Access Points (APs) to...
Cooperative communication when other mobile nodes could act as potential relays, poses significant challenge in designing relay selection algorithms due to the information asymmetry between the source and the potential relays. The potential relays in this case are better informed about their channel conditions than the source. Therefore, the source must provide them with incentive to reveal their...
Cooperative communication is shown to be an efficient method of combating fading in wireless networks. By ”sharing” their antennas cooperating single-antenna nodes create a virtual multi-antenna system and therefore, benefit from spatial diversity. Network coding being a particular cooperative communication technique provides substantial gains in data rate, especially in networks with many sink nodes...
Recently developed adaptive modulation schemes for opportunistic decode-and-forward (DF) relaying require knowledge of instantaneous channel-state-information (CSI) of all links. This paper aims at reducing signalling overhead of modulation-adaptive opportunistic DF relaying through exploitation of mixed channel knowledge. A novel semi-deterministic approach is proposed for performing joint rate-adaptation...
An approach advocated in the recent literature for reducing energy consumption in cellular networks is to put base stations to sleep when traffic loads are low. However, several practical considerations are ignored in these studies. In this paper, we aim to raise questions on the feasibility and benefits of base station sleeping. Specifically we analyze the interference and capacity of a coverage-based...
In a previous work, we introduced a spectrum sharing technique called Multi-User Vandermonde-subspace Frequency Division Multiplexing (MU-VFDM). This overlay technique allows the coexistence of a downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) macro-cell and a cognitive multi-user small-cell system in time division duplex mode. In that work, MU-VFDM was shown to be able to completely...
In recent years, a number of rate-distortion (R-D) optimization schemes have been proposed. These works discussed the joint source-channel rate allocation problem for achieving best end-to-end video transmission quality under limited transmission bit rate. However, encoding complexity, a critical concern for video transmission from mobile devices, was hardly considered. Especially, the time-varying...
