Device-to-device transmission technology can help base stations achieve high transmission rates and meet high-capacity requirements. It is also a key technology for future markets. Additionally, the coexistence of licensed and unlicensed bands will be relevant to the landscape of the emerging 5th-generation cellular systems. However, there is a shortage of research on efficient transmission during...
In this paper, we present a method for resource allocation for small cells that integrate licensed and unlicensed RF operations motivated by the widespread WiFi hotspots and the common inclusion of WiFi interface in most cellular terminals. Small cells have proven popular for cell coverage enhancement and traffic offloading from macrocells. We formulate an optimization problem that jointly allocates...
Joint optimization of user association, resource allocation and Almost Blank Subframe (ABSF) based enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC), on which macro-cells mute for scheduling the pico users, is of great importance to further improve the network performance in HetNets, however, the introduce of ABSF makes analyzing resource allocation extremely difficult because this results in...
The maturity of Software Defined Network (SDN) and network virtualization has inspired the development of software switch. This paper studies the behavior of soft switch in network virtualization environment. We investigate main performance factors and evaluate their impacts. Based on these measurements, we extend resource allocation among multiple soft switch instances with consideration of topology...
In this paper, A power-saving scheduling algorithm (PSA) for mixed multicast and unicast traffic is proposed in multicast and broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). This algorithm is designed on the purpose of reducing the terminal's energy consumption and improving system capacity. By MBSFN area scheduling scheme the throughput of multicast users is increased. And the users' energy consumption...
The future Internet is envisioned to host a large number of virtual networks managed by different operators sharing the same physical infrastructure. In such a scenario, an operator may not even own physical resources as such, but lease virtual resources to have their own virtual networks. While control-plane virtualization with several routing instances becomes common in equipments, the data plane...
IEEE 802.16j multi-hop relay task standard includes two mutually exclusive options: transparent relay stations (T-RS) and non-transparent relay stations (NT-RS). In this work, a system design approach is proposed to compare different relay systems in term of their capacity with rate fairness constraint among the mobile stations (MS). Single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input multi-output (MIMO)...
Application server clusters are often used to service high-throughput web applications. In order to host more than a single application, an organisation will usually procure a separate cluster for each application. Over time the utilisation of the clusters will vary, leading to variation in the response times experienced by users of the applications. Techniques that statically assign servers to each...
The virtual channel flow control approach provides an efficient way for the high throughput of the on-chip routers. However, allocating the virtual channels (VCs) statically results in a waste of the area and energy consumption. To remedy this drawback, we propose a novel dynamic virtual channel architecture (DVCA) in this paper. By inspecting the physical link state and speculating the packet transferring,...
