Advanced cellular and wireless standards are rapidly expanding their instantaneous RF bandwidth requirements, and with operating frequencies moving into the mmWave spectrum, channels of 1 GHz and wider become increasingly likely. Furthermore, carrier aggregation and MIMO systems require multiple wideband channels, placing even higher demands on the system. No longer satisfied with short bursts of...
Joint pushing and proactive caching holds the promise of significantly increasing the throughput and decreasing the latency of content-centric wireless networks. In this work, we import the pushing and caching mechanism into a traditional packet-oriented network for decreasing the average queueing delay. Since the decreasing relies on extra costs paid for the pushing-caching mechanism, such as the...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in military due to the hostile environment and safety concern. To tackle the challenges on UAV communications, millimeter wave (MMwave) communication has been considered as a potential solution for both security and high throughput capability. However, insufficient research has been carried out for MMwave communications on drone, and no widely recognized...
This paper considers the transmission scene of multicasting hard deadline constrained prioritized (HDCP) packets via cellular links and D2D links. That is to say, each device with two wireless interfaces could receive HDCP packets from the base station (BS) and transmit or receive HDCP packets from other devices concurrently. In this transmission scene, we study the problem of maximizing the network...
Recently, bulk-data or burst transmission has been the focus of research in wireless sensor networks. The aim is to benefit applications which require high throughput but small scale deployment. Healthcare applications and applications which are intended to support independent living for the elderly are typical examples. The main idea is to exclusively provide the channel for one transmitter only...
Medical Body Area Network (MBAN), recently released by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is a narrowband body area network (NB-BAN) specialized for medical applications. Its allocated band of frequency is from 2360–2400 MHz. This paper studies the effect of transmitter and receiver node positions on the bit-error-rate (BER) performance and maximum allowable data throughput of the on-body...
In this paper we present a novel dynamic spectrum sensing and access model in cognitive radio networks. This model allows secondary user (SU) to sequentially sense two times if necessary due to the false alarm, and choose different accessing manner according to the sensing result. In practice, sensing results often affect the data transmission in cognitive radio systems. Therefore, a hybrid interweave/underlay...
This paper considers queue-driven, real-time interference mitigation aiming to maximize wireless network throughput. A best-response power control algorithm is derived from successive convex approximations, and a single power update is performed at each scheduling interval. In the high-SINR regime, the power control algorithm achieves maximum network throughput. Extending the approach to general SINR...
In this paper, a high throughput pipeline HARQ scheme of polar codes is proposed as the throughput of conventional schemes are to be promoted. In this scheme, we use a pipeline structure that the current HARQ process may combine the source bits of the current process and the retransmission bits of the incorrectly decoded previous HARQ processes and the source bits of the current process may be retransmitted...
Licensed-Assisted Access Long-Term Evolution (LAA- LTE) framework can offload excessive data stream to the unlicensed spectrum. Devices from different operators will compete for the same band and have to endure a more complex and congested channel conditions. Therefore a rapid and efficient access mechanism should be introduced in the LAA framework. Based on the Type B LBT channel access scheme, this...
In this paper, we propose a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multi-channel cognitive cooperative radio networks (CCRNs). In this protocol, each secondary user (SU) senses for spectrum opportunities within M licensed bands of the primary users (PUs). To enhance the accuracy of spectrum sensing, we employ cooperative sequential spectrum sensing where SUs mutually exchange their sensing results...
The cellular data traffic has been dramatically increased, a typical approach is considering the operation of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system in the unlicensed spectrum. Although there are a large number of theoretical researches on LTE-U, field trial results are still lacking. In this paper, we build a real time field trial in 5.8GHz unlicensed bands. The typical indoor scenario is deployed...
In this paper, throughput of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes with finite blocklength codes is studied for both constant-rate and ON-OFF discrete-time Markov arrivals under statistical queuing constraints and deadline limits. After analyzing the decoding error probability and outage probability, the distribution of transmission period is characterized, and the throughput expressions...
In this paper, we study the optimal energy management policy of an energy harvesting transmitter by taking both battery degradation and finite battery constraints into consideration. We consider a scenario where the sensor is able to harvest energy from the ambient environment and use it to power its transmission. The harvested energy can be used for transmission immediately without entering the equipped...
This paper represents the design, feasibility evaluation and performance validation of ICMR, a novel cross layer protocol that can maximize concurrent transmissions and avoid data frame interference in wireless networks, achieving higher throughput comparing with the 802.11 standard and other state-of-the-art protocols. Observations on the 802.11 standard reveal that nodes degrade the network throughput...
Energy harvesting wireless nodes provide much longer lifetime and higher energy efficiency for wireless networks compared to battery operated systems. In this paper, we study a MIMO wireless communication link in which the nodes are equipped with energy harvesters and rechargeable batteries that are continuously charging from a renewable energy source. Since the harvested energy arrival and thus the...
Adaptive contention window algorithms are most commonly used in CSMA/CA to improve the throughput, fairness and reduce the latency and the collision probabilities in today's applications. All the calculations are done with keeping perfect carrier sensing in mind. There is a huge role played by sensing errors like probability of false alarm and probability of miss detection, in the carrier sensing...
Interference, which can be caused by Secondary Users (SUs) to other Primary Users (PUs) or SUs, is of major concern for Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). We study a spectrum allocation problem, where our primary focus is on maximizing the throughput of the CRN while protecting the PUs from interference and controlling the co-channel interference among the SUs. We build a CRN, where initially, all SUs...
Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) and link adaptation (LA) are two powerful techniques to improve the data throughput in wireless communication systems. However, when integrated with LA, conventional HARQ does not provide much gain over LA without significantly increasing the number of retransmissions and initial coding rate. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of achieving high throughput by combining HARQ...
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication has been a promising technology of future fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. Due to the tremendous propagation loss of mmWave communication, device-to-device (D2D) communications are widely used over directional mmWave networks to improve the network throughput. In this paper, a new time resource sharing scheme is proposed based on Stackelberg game for...
