OFDMA femtocells are generally accepted as a very promising solution for indoor coverage with high data rate. However, the lack of systematic schemes to effectively mitigate macro/femtocell hierarchical interference, fully utilize radio resources, provide quality-of-service (QoS) and fairness guarantee among users suffocate the performance realization of femtocells. In this paper, an Adapted Soft...
The virtual MIMO (V-MIMO) and coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) are adopted by the LTE system to extend the uplink spectral efficiency. V-MIMO makes use of spatial multiplexing to increase system throughput while CoMP by means of mitigating inter cell interference (ICI) significantly achieve the same effect. In this paper, we present an orthogonality based proportional fair scheduling (OPF)...
Overlaying low-power, low-cost, femtocells, over existing wireless networks has recently emerged as a means to significantly improve the coverage and performance of next-generation wireless networks. While most existing literature focuses on spectrum sharing and interference management among non-cooperative femtocells, in this paper, we propose a novel cooperative model that enables the femtocells...
Uplink scheduling for relay stations in mobile multi-hop relay network has not been widely addressed in the literature under common belief that downlink traffic overwhelms uplink traffic. Recently, data traffic from user created content (UCC) is rapidly growing with a potential to create a huge amount of uplink (UL) traffic. Overlapped resource allocation in uplink transmission allows MSs attached...
In this paper, we consider the weighted sum throughput maximization (WSTM) problem of multicell network with full spectral reuse. The WSTM problem is a nonconvex combinatorial problem, and difficult to tackle in practice. Thus, we present and discuss three low-complexity suboptimal algorithms, which solve the WSTM problem via joint user scheduling and power control (USPC) among a set of coordinating...
Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is an effective way of multipacket reception to combat interference. We study link scheduling under SINR (Signal to Interference Noise Ratio) model in ad hoc networks with SIC at physical layer. The facts that interference is accumulated and the links decoded sequentially by SIC are correlated pose key technical challenges. We propose conflict set graph (CSG)...
Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is an effective technique of multipacket reception to combat interference. As not all collision are resolvable, careful transmission coordination is required. We study link scheduling in wireless networks with SIC at the physical layer. A new model, simultaneity graph (SG), is proposed to characterize the link correlation introduced by SIC. Then two new scheduling...
This paper studies the problem of conserving the energy of mobile terminals in a multi-cell TDMA networks supporting bursty real-time sessions. The associated optimization problem involves joint scheduling, rate control, and power control. To tackle the complexity, we propose a decomposition method that decouples the overall problem into two sub-problems: intra-cell energy optimization and inter-cell...
Multichannel sensing scheduling and interference avoidance are two major challenges for medium access in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). In this paper, we propose an adaptive sensing cycle scheme for scheduling multichannel sensing with interference avoidance in CRN. The principle of the proposed adaptive sensing cycle scheme is to prioritize the multichannel sensing and access based on interference...
A significant technical challenge in deploying fem-tocells is controlling the interference from the underlay of femtos onto the overlay of macros. This paper presents a novel interference control method where the macrocell bandwidth is partitioned into subbands, and the short-range femtocell links adaptively allocate their power across the subbands based on a load-spillage power control method. The...
Uplink scheduling in a multicell OFDMA system is considered. A non-collaborative intercell interference avoidance method is proposed, where base stations shut down certain subcarriers in a probabilistic manner based on the received interference level. Proportional fair scheduling is implemented in order to ensure fairness for cell edge users. A low complexity scheduling algorithm is proposed for this...
Minority game-based interference management (MGIM) for spectrum sharing is implemented and its experimental results are reported. MGIM is a decentralized transmission scheduling for a lower-priority system to prevent severe interference at a higher-priority system only using one-bit feedback information from the higher-priority system. By using MGIM, it has been demonstrated that the transmitters...
We introduce an opportunistic interference mitigation (OIM) protocol for cellular networks, where a user scheduling strategy is utilized in uplink K-cell environments with time-invariant channel coefficients and base stations (BSs) having M receive antennas. In the OIM scheme, each BS opportunistically selects a set of users who generate the minimum interference to the other BSs. We consider two OIM...
Interference modeling is crucial for the performance of numerous WSN protocols such as congestion control, link/channel scheduling, and reliable routing. In particular, understanding and mitigating interference becomes increasingly important for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as they are being deployed for many data-intensive applications such as structural health monitoring. However, previous works...
The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is used to signal dynamic resource assignment information in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. In the presence of numerous active users, the system performance is likely to be hindered by shortage of control channel resource. In this paper, several simple algorithms are brought forward for making efficient PDCCH resource allocation. We first propose...
In current cellular networks base stations (BSs) usually perform independent scheduling without coordinating the resource allocation among different cells. This, however, often leads to high interference levels in cellular networks operating with universal frequency reuse, such as the 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE). Coordinated scheduling between different BSs may mitigate this problem by taking...
This paper examines algorithms to minimize interference in infrastructure wireless mesh networks. A mathematical optimization problem for coloring the active wireless edges in a time-division scheduling frame is formulated. The optimization eliminates primary conflicts and minimizes secondary conflicts. The active wireless edges are specified in an integer zero-one 'edge-specification' matrix. An...
This paper evaluates the performance of highly loaded High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) network with and without network wide static Interference Coordination (IC). IC alternates the priorities for user transmission periods throughout the network to achieve reduced interference levels and higher performance. A large variety of combinations including, e.g., different schedulers, cell center/edge...
Network coded multiuser uplink MIMO channels have been discussed in this paper. A three slots transmission is considered here and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) has been employed to serve multiuser simultaneously. Minimum mean-square-error successive interference cancellation (MMSE-SIC) is applied in the first two slots and singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied for the third slots...
This paper handles the issues related to centralized scheduling in multi-channel WiMAX mesh network. We have used the clique partitioning approach for scheduling. The scheduling algorithm optimizes the length of the scheduling cycle, as well as the buffer size requirement of each node. If sufficient number of channels is present to avoid secondary interference in the network, the static channel assignment...
