This paper studies appropriate values of EDCA parameters of the author's wireless LAN base station based on Quality of Experience (QoE) for Web Services by experiments with subjects. The base station reduces the traffic of a Web service without degradation of QoE; it utilizes EDCA as QoS control. However, appropriate EDCA parameter value have never been studied. This paper evaluates QoE and measures...
Growing demands for mobile services in recent years has extraordinary increased the number of cellular operators and consequently the portion of energy that is consumed by cellular networks. Hence, green cellular network has been introduced, which suggests the use of energy optimization methods in cellular networks. One of the solutions to optimize the energy consumption of cellular networks is to...
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication which supports ubiquitous information exchange and content sharing among vehicles with little or no human intervention becomes a key enabler for intelligent transportation industry. In this paper, we adopt a two-hop relay transmission mode to maximize the total spectrum efficiency of a device-to-device (D2D) based vehicular cooperative network while ensuring...
The paper investigates the principles of functioning of wireless communication networks of the next generation with M2M traffic. In the early stages, the new technology will be implemented on the basis of 4G (LTE) infrastructure, complemented by innovative radio access developments and new resource management techniques for the IoT services implementation. We present the analysis of the requirements...
At present, the energy consumption of wireless communication network accounts for the vast majority of the operator's expenses. A cooperative energy saving mechanism is proposed in the framework of the self-organized network, based on the hybrid energy supplied, aiming at the energy consumption of cellular is too large and the utilization rate of green energy is low. According to the framework, the...
Wireless virtualization is regarded as an emerging paradigm for enhancing radio frequency (RF) spectrum utilization through slicing of primary wireless resources in heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In this paper, we study the creation of virtual wireless networks through wireless virtualization for mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) where portion of the primary bandwidth is sliced and leased...
Spectrum decision is the key function of a cognitive radio(CR) to choose the most proper spectrum band to meet secondary users'(SUs') quality of experience(QoE) requirements. It is challenging to perform spectrum decision for multimedia applications in cognitive radio networks(CRNs) due to two reasons. One is that QoE evaluation model for SU in CRNs is still an open issue, for the conventional QoE...
To reduce the average file delivery time under limited backhaul bandwidth, a fractional dynamic caching scheme, that coordinates the utilization of the backhaul and the cache storage, is proposed in this paper. In our scheme, only parts of the files are pre-fetched and stored in the static storage segment of small base stations (SBSs), while the remaining parts of the files will be fetched into the...
In this work, we study a practical resource allocation (RA) scheme that considers heterogeneous services in OFDMA femtocell networks. Heterogeneous services include guarantees of the minimum data-rate for delay-sensitive (DS) users and the fairness for delay-tolerant (DT) users. The RA problem is formulated to maximize the total throughput of all femtocells while satisfying the constraints of cross-tier...
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) is considered as one of the most important techniques in 3GPP LTE/LTE-A. In CoMP, several base stations can be grouped together to form the cooperating set, where the cooperating set is used to improve the system throughput as well as the throughput of cell edge users. Most of the studies discussed how to relieve the overload condition or maximize the system throughput...
In recent past, the exponential growth in data rate demands have led to network operators constantly upgrading their network infrastructure in order to keep up with the demand. While the trends for data rate requirements are expected to continue in the future, mobile networks as part of evolution towards fifth generation (5G) are also expected to support new services, use cases and industry verticals,...
As base stations (BS) are responsible for the large amount of energy consumed in cellular networks, energy efficient BS sleep mode techniques have the potential to save a significant amount of energy. However, assuming that BSs are able to alternate between sleeping and active states as frequently as possible may have a negative impact on network reliability, shortening BS lifetime. In this paper...
As cellular network operators are struggling to keep up with the rapidly increasing traffic demand, two key directions are deemed necessary for beyond 4G networks: (i) extensive cell densification to improve spatial reuse, and (ii) storage of content as close to the user as possible to cope with the backhaul constraints and increased interference. However, caching has mostly been studied with an exclusive...
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a recently standardized technology to support machine-type communications (MTC) in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) Pro networks. NB-IoT can enable energy-efficient communication with extended coverage on a narrow bandwidth of 180 kHz for low-cost MTC devices (MTCDs). The main challenge of supporting MTC in LTE-A Pro networks is to provide connectivity...
Small cells will play an important role in the fifth generation mobile networks. As recent works pointed out, a significant improvement in energy efficiency can be obtained if small base stations (SBSs) are provided with storage capabilities. In this paper, we study the problem of caching optimization in the presence of interference with and without cooperation between the SBSs. We consider a setup...
The core concept of smart grid (SG) is to achieve the intellectual scheduling and control by applying modern information communication and other advanced technology. Many countries choose Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) system as the access network communication of power grid due to its high reliability, high transmission efficiency and mature technology. In the background of SG, it tends to appear that...
Downlink data rates can vary significantly in cellular networks, with a potentially non-negligible effect on the user experience. Content providers address this problem by using different representations (e.g., picture resolution, video resolution and rate) of the same content and switch among these based on measurements collected during the connection. If it were possible to know the achievable data...
Energy optimization in cellular networks has been studied using different perspectives in the literature: sleep patterns, network interference, association of users and base stations, resource allocation of resources (bandwidth and power), etc. All these means have been discussed individually in previous works. However, none of the existing works has succeeded in proposing an exact mathematical model...
We model the problem of infrastructure sharing among mobile network operators (MNOs) as a multiple-seller single-buyer market where the MNOs are able to share their own base stations (BSs) with each other. First, we use techniques from stochastic geometry to find the coverage probability of the infrastructure sharing system and analyze the trade-off between increasing the transmit power of a BS and...
We jointly investigate resource allocation along with dynamic activation of energy harvesting base stations in a two-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet) under energy harvesting as well as interference constraints. Considering the varying channel condition, user activity, and arrival of harvested energy in different time slots, we determine resource allocation and dynamic activation of energy harvesting...
