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...
A concept of Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) with Power over Fiber (PoF) is expected to work as a post- disaster access network architecture. In this architecture, since external power is supplied to Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) through the optical-fiber cable for data communication, RRHs can operate even when power cables are disrupted due to disasters. This network, however, needs to reduce the...
Linear precoding for Far-End CrossTalk (FEXT) cancellation is supported by the first release of the next generation DSL standard G.fast utilizing bandwidth up to 106 MHz. The cancellation precoding for the second release (bandwidth up to 212 MHz with much stronger FEXT) has not been standardized yet. Non-linear Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) is a promising candidate as it outperforms the linear...
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...
In this work, we consider the problem of distributed link scheduling for D2D communications without a centralized controller. Our design goal is to maximize a chosen global objective function. For example, maximizing the long-term proportional fair throughput amongst distributed links can be such a goal. In principle, each link evaluates whether its rate increase by raising its transmit power is sufficient...
With increasing mobile data services in the wireless communication networks, the LTE unlicensed is put forward as an effective way to offload the crowded traffic in the licensed spectrum. However, when there are multiple wireless cellular operators (WCOs) sharing the common unlicensed spectrum together, how to manage the competitions among all WCOs while guaranteeing the performance of the Wi-Fi networks...
Recently, some CSMA/CD-alike protocols have been proposed for full-duplex (FD) WiFi networks, in which users are able to monitor the channel and transmit data simultaneously so as to avoid data collisions and improve the spectrum efficiency. However, along with its benefits, the residual self- interference (RSI) brought by FD becomes a new challenge for the network. As the RSI increases with the transmit...
Power control has been an important field in wireless communications with many applications. The well-known Foschini-Miljanic (FM) algorithm, which has greatly influenced the subsequent literature, is a simple and elegant distributed power control scheme that enjoys several desirable properties. However, the channel environment in the FM algorithm is assumed to be fixed and constant over time, an...
This article investigates the mobility management of an ultra dense cellular network (UDN) from an energy-efficiency (EE) point of view. Many dormant base stations (BSs) in a UDN do not transmit signals, and thus a received power based handover (HO) approach as in traditional cellular networks is hardly applicable. In addition, the limited front/backhaul capacity compared to a huge number of BSs makes...
In this paper, we construct an analytical design framework for energy efficient scheduling for delay-constrained spectrum aggregation (ESSA), where the practical hardware limitations on SA capability bring various technical challenges. Specifically, the conventional water-filling power control cannot be adopted over all the channels, and the delay-aware scheduling solution should interact with the...
This paper considers power control in energy cooperation enabled heterogeneous networks (HetNets), where each base station (BS) is powered by hybrid energy sources consisting of the conventional power grid and renewable energy sources. Energy can be transferred between BSs with energy loss during the energy transmission process. Transmit power, grid power consumption, and transferred energy are optimized...
Recently, cognitive radio (CR) technology is proposed to be combined with femtocell networks, which enables femtocells to access the available spectrum bands in an opportunistic manner. In practice, the available spectrums in CR femtocell networks are heterogeneous and range from hundreds of megahertz to several gigahertz. These heterogeneous spectrums have very different path- losses which may result...
Simultaneous bidirectional transmission and recep- tion of signals on a single channel in a full duplex (FD) system is gaining increased attention from both academia and industry. Recent advances in radio transceiver design have been able to minimize the self interference (SI) to a great extent making realization of a FD transceiver possible. For FD deployment in a multi-cell environment, minimizing...
This article investigates the performance of an ultra-dense network (UDN) from an energy-efficiency (EE) standpoint leveraging the interplay between stochastic geometry (SG) and mean-field game (MFG) theory. In this setting, base stations (BSs) (resp. users) are uniformly distributed over a two-dimensional plane as two independent homogeneous Poisson point processes (PPPs), where users associate to...
Basically, a WBAN consists of few wearable sensors attached to body parts, clothes, implanted underneath the skins or inner body. A WBAN consists of a central hub (i.e., base station) that controls and communicates with sensors. WBANs may deeply overlap on each other in a crowded area such as hospital because of their rapid mobility, small network size, flexible topology, and higher network density...
