A novel coordinated scheduling algorithm for OFDM-based systems in multi-cell scenario is proposed in this paper. The studied algorithm based on the utility function is general for the downlink of networks. The algorithm coordinates the subcarrier assignment over the BS cluster. We first establish the framework for this inter-cell coordinated optimization problem through utility-based method. The...
In this paper, power management algorithms for energy harvesting sensors (EHS) that operate purely based on energy harvested from the environment are proposed. To maintain energy neutrality, EHS nodes schedule their utilization of the harvested power so as to save/draw energy into/from an inefficient battery during peak/low energy harvesting periods, respectively. Under this constraint, one of the...
802.11 WLAN technology has been widely used recently to transmit heterogeneous data. The transmission of multimedia data has its quality of service (QoS) requirements. Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF) is proposed to provide service differentiation to support real-time transmission by 802.11e working group. HCF is composed of connection-based Enhanced Distributed Coordination Access (EDCA) and contention-free...
In this paper, we consider joint optimization of end-to-end data transmission and resource allocation for Wireless-Infrastructured Distributed Cellular Networks (WIDCNs), where each base station (BS) in a cell is connected with its neighboring BSs via wireless links, and a mobile station (MS) can access one or multiple adjacent BSs simultaneously through time-varying OFDMA channels. The communications...
Uplink ergodic sum-rate maximization in OFDMA systems is considered. The general problem is formulated as a convex optimization problem and a dual solution is presented. The problem formulation is generalized to the case of utility maximization where the utility can be any function of rate. A suboptimal scheduling algorithm with low complexity is proposed and shown to achieve close performance to...
This paper considers subcarrier allocation for the multihop orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) broadcast networks consisting of one source, multiple destinations, and one amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. In this paper, proportional fair (PF) based subcarrier allocation is discussed to get a tradeoff between the system transmission rate and fairness. First, the problem is formulated...
In this paper, we study an opportunistic power scheduling problem in relay-based OFDMA cellular networks. In most previous works on relay-based cellular networks, scheduling at relay stations (RSs) is not allowed. Hence, each RS should immediately transmit all the received data from the base station (BS) in the first phase in a time-slot to mobile stations (MSs) in the second phase in the same time-slot...
Cross-layer scheduling is a promising solution for improving the efficiency of emerging broadband wireless systems. In this tutorial, various cross-layer design approaches are organized into three main categories namely air interface-centric, user-centric and route-centric and the general characteristics of each are discussed. Thereafter, by focusing on the air interface-centric approach, it is shown...
In this paper, we consider the mobility effect with a jointly optimal design of cross-layer congestion control, routing and scheduling for ad-hoc networks. We first formulate the rate constraint and scheduling constraint. In this way, we use multi-commodity flow variables. Then formulate resource allocation in networks with fixed wireless channel and single-rate devices. Because of entrance of the...
Three applications in wireless networks where model-free stochastic learning is applicable, are discussed. The learning based optimization problems are formulated and simulation results are presented. Some open issues are also discussed.
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
