Traditional power allocation algorithms in heterogeneous networks (HeNets) are given under the assumption of perfect channel state information (CSI). However, the perfect CSI is difficult to obtain due to the efficiency of channel fading and feedback delays. In this paper, a robust power allocation algorithm is proposed to minimize the total transmit power of femtocell users under the constraints...
This paper investigates the joint power and admission control problem for a multi-pair massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) amplify-and-forward relaying system. Our aim is to minimize the total transmit power for users while maximizing the number of supported users by adopting the new linear programming deflation (NLPD) algorithm. Here, the removal strategy of the NLPD algorithm is compared...
In order to improve the spectrum utilization rate of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, we study the hybrid resource allocation problem, which allows both the resource reuse and resource dedicated mode to work simultaneously. Meanwhile, multiple D2D devices are permitted to share uplink cellular resources with some designated cellular user equipment (CUE). Combined with the transmission requirement...
In this paper, a non-orthogonal multiple access cognitive radio network with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer is studied under a practical non-linear energy harvesting model. A multi-objective optimization problem(MOOP) is formulated to maximize the harvesting power of each energy harvesting receiver. This problem is non-convex and challenging to be solved. The weighted Tchebycheff...
In vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication underlaying cellular networks, interference between cellular users (CUEs) and V2V users (VUEs) can be severe. To address this issue, many studies focused on designing resource allocation schemes to mitigate uplink interference. Most of them investigated the instantaneous resource allocation. In this paper, however, we consider a highway scenario where CUEs'...
In this study, the resource blocks (RB) are allocated to user equipment (UE) according to the evolutional algorithms for long term evolution (LTE) systems. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is one of the evolutionary algorithms, based on the imitation of a flock of birds foraging behavior through learning and grouping the best experience. Therefore, we propose a Simple Particle Swarm Optimization...
This paper investigates a time sharing (TS) based user pairing strategy to accommodate similar gain users in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems, termed as TS- NOMA. A scenario is considered in which the distribution of users in a cellular area is non-uniform, such that the number of cell center users is less than cell edge users. In this case, if two user conventional NOMA (C-NOMA) pairing...
We propose novel resource allocation algorithms that have the objective of finding a good tradeoff between resource reuse and interference avoidance in wireless networks. To this end, we first study properties of functions that relate the resource budget available to network elements to the optimal utility and to the optimal resource efficiency obtained by solving max-min utility optimization problems...
We study a cognitive radio network in which two sources communicate with each other through multiple relays operating in non-overlapping frequency bands in the radio spectrum. We consider the problem of optimizing the transmission powers of the sources and relays so that the minimum of the two sources' transmission capacities is maximized. Thanks to the non-overlapping nature of the relays' signals,...
Industrial applications demand for ease of deployment, reliability and low-power in wireless networks, leading to standards like IEEE802.15.4, which include time synchronized channel hopping mechanisms. Yet, scheduling of transmissions on timeslots and channels falls outside the scope of current standards. Given the application requirements above, distributed (rather than centralized) scheduling has...
The Phantom cell concept is a solution for high-traffic outdoor environments that can also support good mobility and connectivity in ultra-dense network. In a phantom cells network, a centralized Macrocell controls all phantom cells within its coverage area and the C-Plane and U-Plane are split. Many issues need to be addressed for this architecture including radio resources allocation and cross/co...
The lifetime of machine to machine (M2M) communication networks plays significant impact on system performance and user quality of service (QoS). To increase network lifetime, efficient resource allocation schemes can be applied. In this paper, we study the network lifetime maximization problem of an M2M communication network consisting one base station (BS) and a number of machine type communications...
Due to the openness of the physical layer, the physical layer security has been widely discussed. It is considered as an effective way to improve the secrecy rate that we add artificial noise to D2D communications underlaying cellular networks. Compared to previous studies, in this paper we not only think of the situation where artificial noise is added to the original communication signal between...
Evolved-Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (eMBMS) is a set of features in LTE networks to deliver bandwidth-intensive multimedia content on a point-to-multipoint basis to subscribers. The notion of a Single Frequency Network (SFN) in eMBMS allows base stations to synchronize and transmit signals in a coordinated fashion across the same frequency-time radio resources using a common modulation...
In order to satisfy rate requirement in the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) application group, wireless technologies as Air Interfaces (AI) are widely studied, including non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO). In this paper, we propose a Minorization-Maximization (MM) based hybrid precoding scheme in NOMA-mMIMO system. Firstly, we introduce a user...
Data and energy integrated communication networks (DEINs) have emerged for simultaneously realising both of wireless energy transfer and wireless data transfer by exploiting radio-frequency signals. A heterogeneous DEIN is studied, which consists of both indoor and outdoor user equipments (UEs). In order to characterise the diverse data and energy requirements of UEs, a utility function is defined...
In this paper, we propose an angle domain sparse code multiple access (ASCMA) scheme for the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks to enhance the access connectivity. The basic idea of ASCMA scheme is to construct a non-orthogonal transmission policy in the sparse angle domain channel of massive MIMO networks. Firstly, an angle domain mapping structure is presented, where both the...
With the combination of device-to-device (D2D) communication and millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, the density of communication devices increases greatly and the communication environment becomes more complicated. A key challenge in such networks is interference, which is not only from main lobe, but also from the sidelobe power accumulation. However, the approaches for resource allocation in traditional...
We design and realize an indoor visible light communication (VLC) network based on the time division mechanism to mitigate inter-cell interference, which can support flexible access and resource allocation of multiple mobile users in the ultra-dense attocell layout. WiFi is adopted for the uplink feedback, including the user ID and channel state information. After receiving feedback, the central coordinator...
In this paper, we propose novel user clustering schemes for downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, where an N-antenna base station (BS) selects and serves 2N users from K single antenna user equipments (UEs) (K ≥ 2N and K is even). In particular, we propose a signal difference and alignment (SDA) framework to achieve fair and spectral efficient user clustering for NOMA with flexible...
