This paper discusses a Quality of Experience (QoE) driven cross-layer optimization framework for efficient network resource allocation in wireless networks. The proposed scheme jointly optimizes the application layer and the lower layers of the wireless protocol stack with the aim of improving the user's QoE. The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is used as a common metric for user-perceived quality in the...
A larger amount of works has been reported for forward link CDMA scheduling compared to its reverse link case. In this paper, we propose generalized proportional fair (GPF) scheduling algorithms for uplink CDMA packet services, which have the ability to control the degree of fairness (DoF). We first establish a framework for GPF scheduling in wireless networks which render a GPF scheduling as a well-established...
This paper evaluates the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 for industrial wireless sensor networks. The IEEE 802.15.4 protocol has got the ability to provide real time data transmission in wireless sensor networks using guaranteed time slots (GTS) as medium access control mechanism. According to the standard, a maximum of 7 GTSs can be allocated in one superframe. All GTSs are exclusively dedicated to...
Statistical mechanics-based approach to studying wireless communication systems is useful not only in analyzing theoretical performance of a given model, but also in optimizing design of a class of system models. In this paper, we demonstrate usefulness of statistical-mechanics approach in the problem of optimizing a spreading sequence set of randomly-spread code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication...
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.
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach that exploits retransmission diversity in wireless CDMA communications. Conventionally, data packets that are not correctly detected are usually dropped. These dropped packets can be used to help data packet detection. By exploiting all the retransmitted packets, data packets can be correctly detected with higher probability. The proposed...
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...
