In traditional cellular networks, cell edge users suffer from severe interference. This paper considers a cell free network scenario that multiple base stations (BSs) serve a group of users without cell boundary. Each user can only be served by its own BS according to the traditional cellular network paradigm, while in the user centric cell free network, users can be associated with multiple nearby...
Small cell networks are considered one of the key technologies in the next generation wireless networks. One of the main challenges in this area of research is how to tackle the problems of interference and resource allocation, especially for the hyper dense deployment of small cells. In this paper, we study the problem of cooperative interference mitigation in a small cell network. In particular,...
Energy-efficient design has emerged as a promising technique in heterogeneous networks. We study the energy efficiency problem of joint user association and power allocation in a two-tier heterogeneous network with small cells. The energy efficiency is maximized under certain prescribed quality-of-service requirement and maximum power limit constraint. The original optimization problem is a nonconvex...
Heterogeneous cloud small cell network (HCSNet) with energy harvesting is a promising technique in the next generation mobile communications. However, the cross- tier and co-tier co-channel interference can be severe due to the spectrum sharing in inter-tier and intra- tier of HCSNet. This paper investigates the problem of power allocation and subchannel assignment with the consideration of cross-tier/co-tier...
Cognitive radio is an optimistic technology to implement the concept of dynamic spectrum access and provide a flexible way to share the spectrum among the primary and secondary users. In this paper, a game theoretic-based model is presented using the concept of Nash Equilibrium for spectrum sharing. In this model, interference and number of radios on each link are considered as parameters for designing...
We propose a Coordinated Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (CO-NOMA) scheme for resource allocation in the context of mobile networks. NOMA refers to schemes where multiple users can access the wireless channel in the same frequency band simultaneously. In this study, we consider NOMA with power domain multiplexing, where the near- far property in space is exploited through appropriate power allocations...
This paper considers interference mitigation techniques in the forward link of multibeam satellite systems. In contrast to previous works, either devoted to receiver interference mitigation (e.g. multiuser detection) or transmitter interference mitigation (precoding), this work evaluates the achievable rates of the joint combination of both techniques. On the one hand, precoding cannot properly mitigate...
Abstract-Unlicensed LTE system holds high potential to effectively offload data/video traffic from the crowded licensed band. Previous effort of deploying LTE in the unlicensed band (e.g. license-assisted access LAA) relies on one or more LTE carriers in the licensed band, and may not be desired in certain scenarios. This paper studies a new technology of utilizing LTE directly in an unlicensed band,...
In this paper, the power allocation (PA) problem is investigated in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), employing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique. In such a framework, the quality of service (QoS) requirements for both the primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) should be met. We propose a novel PA algorithm, which fully exploits the characteristics of NOMA-based system. The QoS...
We study energy-efficient secure link adaptation for large-scale device-to-device (D2D) underlaid cellular networks, where base stations (BSs), D2D transmitters, and eavesdroppers (Eve nodes) are distributed as independent homogeneous Poisson point processes. First, we analyze the impact of the underlaid D2D network on the secrecy performance, i.e., secrecy spectral efficiency (SE) and secrecy energy...
We investigate the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem under the scenario of Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks. By jointly considering time-varying channels and stochastic arrivals, we propose a distributed power allocation algorithm for both D2D user groups (DUGs) and cellular user terminals (CUTs) with long- term quality of service (QoS) provision. To effectively...
As next-generation mobile networks are rapidly taking shape driven by the target standardization requirements and initial trial implementations, a range of accompanying technologies prepare to support them with more reliable wireless access and improved service provisioning. Among these are more advanced spectrum sharing options enabled by the emerging Licensed Shared Access (LSA) regulatory framework,...
Abstract-In this paper, we investigate a network with N pairs of users transmitting on the same channel simultaneously from the energy efficiency (EE) perspective. We formulate a non-concave multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP) to investigate the EE tradeoff, taking into account the minimum data rate requirement of each user. The weighted Tchebycheff method is utilized to solve the MOOP by...
With the ever increasing data and computational demands from mobile users, heterogenous wireless networks (HetNets) and mobile cloud computing (MCC) have been advocated as a promising solution to meet these demands. Insufficient bandwidth is one of the most important challenges being faced by a successful implementation of the MCC technology due to heavy data traffic. The MCC implementation on HetNet...
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one of the most promising solutions to the dramatic increase of wireless networks traffic load. In D2D communications, mobile nodes can communicate in a semi-autonomous way, with minimal or no control by the base station (BS). In this context, we address the problem of the coexistence of cellular and D2D tiers in the uplink frequencies, where a D2D source is...
To facilitate content delivery to mobile users, we propose a content caching and distribution framework for the heterogeneous OFDM networks, where a library of files available at the macro base station (MBS) can be distributively cached in multiple serving nodes (SNs). SNs are capable of both receiving unstored files from MBS and transmitting files to the associated users. For a given group of file...
Recently, mobile cloud offloading is a promising technique to deal with the increasingly complex applications on mobile devices, meeting the ever- increasing energy requirements. However, cloud offloading with multiple mobile devices may cause considerable mutual interference, which may result in intolerable time delay and more energy consumption. In this paper, a novel offloading decision method...
Broadband power line communication (PLC) is a promising solution for the convergence of Internet, data and video transmissions for in-home networking. Narrowband interference (NBI) is one of the crucial affecting factors of PLC systems and requires accurate modeling. In this paper, the narrowband interference for PLC is investigated using both measurement and modeling approaches. A novel three- dimensional...

This paper investigates multi-user multi-input multi- output cognitive wireless powered communication networks (WPCN), in which a secondary WPCN shares spectrum with a primary wireless information transfer system. A typical WPCN consists of two different phases. In the first downlink phase, a hybrid access point (H-AP) transfers energy to charge users, and then in the subsequent uplink phase, the...
