A data gathering protocol for multi-channel wireless sensor network is proposed in this paper. The sensor field is logically divided into some finite number of grids. Each grid is managed by a potential node called as grid manager. Each grid manager is also responsible for communicating aggregated data generated inside the respective grid to the base station either directly or via multi-hop communication...
A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network of wireless sensors and medical equipments located inside or outside the human body for collecting biological signals for various medical and non-medical applications. IEEE 802.15.6 was developed as the standard for WBAN where nodes can access the channel via contention access or contention free access. In this paper, only contention access is considered...
The anticipated paper address the retard of congestion in WSN (wireless sensor network) by making use of a mobile sink to diminish congestion. In addition, in the used method data cruises a restricted amount of hops to land at the mobile sink (MS), that in turn helps in improving the energy utilization of the wireless nodes. Parameters for instance packet delay, packet loss as well as throughput are...
The performance of wireless mesh networks (WMNs) deployed for Internet access in rural settings is affected by several factors. Typically, deployments in African domains use cheap and computationally constrained devices with challenges such as power fluctuations, gateway congestion, VSAT communications asymmetry and low bandwidth, which affects throughput under dynamic scenarios. Caching methods can...
In wireless multihop networks, a sequence of data messages are transmitted along a predetermined wireless multihop transmission route. Collisions among wireless transmission signals from the intermediate wireless nodes cause reduction of the end-to-end data message throughput. Hence, avoidance and/or reduction of collisions between 2-hop neighbor intermediate nodes due to the hidden terminal problem...
Due to the simple technical implementation, lowcost network construction and high-bandwidth wireless link capacity, WiFi networks have become popular in the last decade. Nevertheless, WiFi networks have still facing various technical challenges such as load balancing, mobility support and channel adaptation. The emerging software defined networking (SDN) has now been proposed to address the above...
In this study, we address the problem of minimizing the energy consumption in future 5G networks by means of a joint optimization of radio access network (RAN) and multi-hop wireless backhaul network. The objective of the optimization is to operate the network with the smallest set of base stations while meeting the quality of service (QoS) requirements of users. We first pose the optimization problem...
This paper considers multi-hop wireless backhaul in randomly distributed heterogeneous cellular networks. Following the framework of stochastic geometry, we model the distribution of access points with wireless backhauls and that of base stations with dedicated wired backhauls as two independent Poisson Point Processes. A routing protocol that aims to maximize the network throughput is proposed. To...
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard for the Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs)is popular and widely used for many areas of applications. The standard uses slotted CSMA/CA protocol in it's contention access period (CAP) in the beacon enabled mode. The protocol adopted a Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB)algorithm. In this paper, we investigate the saturation throughput of this standard using...
This paper analyzes the performance of information and energy beamforming in multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) wireless communications systems, where a self-powered multi-antenna hybrid access point (AP) coordinates wireless information and power transfer (WIPT) with an energy-constrained multi-antenna user terminal (UT). The wirelessly powered UT scavenge energy from the hybrid AP radio-frequency...
This paper investigates multi-user multi-input multi- output cognitive wireless powered communication networks (WPCN), in which a secondary WPCN shares spectrum with a primary wireless information transfer system. A typical WPCN consists of two different phases. In the first downlink phase, a hybrid access point (H-AP) transfers energy to charge users, and then in the subsequent uplink phase, the...
Software Defined Networking has been adopted to improve data center network efficiency. In SDN, the controllers are responsible for exchanging information with the switches to perform specific operations such as data forwarding. The transmission of control traffic usually uses networks different from data networks. However, building an additional wired network for the control traffic leads to high...
We derive for the first time closed-form expressions for the Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) of the joint channel phase, and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimates from turbo-coded (TC) Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) and rectangular-QAM (RQAM) modulated signals over flat-fading channels. After wisely exploiting the properties of Gray mapping, we are able to simplify the log-likelihood...
In this paper, we consider wireless-powered relay network consisting of one source, one wireless powered relay and one sink, where the relay is provisioned with both data buffer and energy storage. Firstly, a novel time-switching transmission scheme is proposed to divide the transmission from source to sink into three phases, namely, the relay energy harvesting phase, the relay receiving phase and...
This paper proposes an energy-efficient resource allocation scheme for a wireless power transfer (WPT) enabled multi-user massive MIMO system with imperfect channel estimation. In the considered system, the users who have data to be transmitted only can be empowered by the WPT in the downlink from a base station (BS) with a large scale of multiple antennas. The problem of optimizing the...
The backhaul network is a critical challenge towards the success of 5G and corresponding difficulties are many-fold, such as network coverage expansion, very high bandwidth, ultra- low latency and energy consumption, at a minimum cost. No single backhaul solution can address all these requirements but, on the other hand, not all of the backhaul links require the same set of stringent requirements...

Energy harvesting (EH) enabled relaying has attracted lots of interests recently, as the network energy consumption can be reduced and the coverage range can be extended simultaneously. In most existing literatures, the Harvest-Store-Use (HSU) model is utilized to describe the energy flow behavior of the EH system. However, the half-duplex (HD) constraint of HSU that harvested energy can only be used...
