The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is the basis of many protocol suites such as ZigBee, WirelessHART and MiWi popular in Internet of Things systems, wireless sensor networks, and industrial wireless networks. In practice, due to its working bands are free to access, IEEE 802.15.4 based networks often suffer from interference which will deteriorate the network performance. In this paper, we model the interference...
Full-duplex communication enables simultaneous transmission from both ends of a communication link, thereby promising gains in terms of the throughput and the delay. Such compelling gains are conditioned on a number of design constraints. Generally, it has been shown that the throughput gain and the delay reduction of full-duplex communication are conditioned on a number of assumptions. This has lead...
Multiple receive and transmit antennas can be used to improve the spectral efficiency by transmitting over multiple independent streams. In addition, multiple receive antennas facilitate interference suppression through the use of interference rejection combining receivers. Rank adaptation algorithms are aimed at balancing the trade-off between increasing the spatial gain, and improving the interference...
With growing data demand and the current dearth of spectrum, mobile operators are looking for new frequency bands to satisfy data-hungry users. One promising avenue of expansion is TV white spaces, which are currently available to secondary users as long as they do not interfere with primary (i.e., incumbent) users. In this work, we explore the benefits of offloading cellular traffic onto TV white...
Results are presented for optimizing device-to-device communications in cellular networks, while maintaining spectral efficiency of the base-station-to-device downlink channel. We build upon established and tested stochastic geometry models of signal-to-interference ratio in wireless networks based on the Poisson point process, which incorporate random propagation effects such as fading and shadowing...
Caching popular contents at the edge of the network can positively impact the performance and future sustainability of wireless networks in several ways, e.g., end-to-end access delay reduction and peak rate increase. In this paper, we aim at showing that non-negligible performance enhancements can be observed in terms of network interference footprint as well. To this end, we consider a full-duplex...
Ultra Dense network (UDN) is considered as one of the promising and efficient communication solution for high throughput and large connection numbers scenarios. Due to the densification of the users perspective and massive-access opportunities, how to optimize the multiple users access in UDN is an important and complicated problem. The traditional multi-user access schemes may be no longer suitable...
In this paper, a cognitive radio network is considered in which the secondary network (SN) consists of a source, a buffer-aided full-duplex decode-and-forward relay, and a destination, underlaid over a primary network (PN). An imperfect self-interference (SI) cancellation is assumed at the secondary relay (SR), such that the SI power is proportional to the transmit power of the SR. For the SN with...
To increase the communication range of multi-hop cognitive radio networks (CRNs) while avoiding the implied loss in throughput, use of incremental relaying has been suggested. In this paper, we discuss an incremental relaying (IR) protocol for cooperative multi-hop CRNs (CMHCRNs). A CMHCRN with multiple decode-and-forward relays in each hop is considered. In each hop, the relays whose received signal-to-noise-ratio...
In this work, we study the effect of energy harvesting in a cognitive shared access network with delay constraints on the primary user. We model the distribution of secondary nodes by a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), while the primary user is located at fixed location. The secondary users are assumed to have always packets to transmit whilst the primary transmitter has bursty traffic. We...
Over the time while IEEE 802.11 was developed, rate adaption algorithms had their own development stage. Most of rate adaption algorithms are not standardized and there are no rules on how one should operate. Therefore, this part of IEEE 802.11 is handled entirely by wireless vendors. Although, while IEEE 802.11 moved forward and introduced several performance increases with Quality of Service introduction,...
In this paper we present a data-driven power control (DDPC) approach to improve total cell throughput and energy efficiency of ultra-dense femtocells. Although femtocells can increase the capacity and coverage in an indoor environment, ultra-dense femtocells may consume a lot of energy and generate severe interference. We investigate a data-driven clustering approach to reduce co-tier interference...
The 5G prospect of seamlessly connected global devices with delay-tolerant communication, millisecond latency and gigabits per second data rate suggests the need for location-aware devices, systems and networks. This requires new methods for high resolution positioning services. It is however believed that Impulse Radio (IR) Ultrawideband (UWB) promises better positioning methods for accuracy-critical...
LTE networks are deployed to increase capacity and coverage especially for the indoor and cell-edge mobile users. However, such deployment comes with major challenges, radio resource management and inter-cell interferences. Fractional Frequency Reuse mechanism (FFR) is one of the most effective interference avoidance techniques. In this paper, we evaluate an existing adaptation process that adjusts...
The rise in mobile data traffic demands from indoor users (UEs) coupled with poor cellular coverage in indoor environments, triggering the growth of Femto cell deployments. However, due to densification of Femtos, frequency reuse one, and lack of coordination among Femtos in LTE HetNets, cell-edge users of Macro cells, who are in the vicinity of Femtos, get affected by cross-tier interference of the...
In this paper, we aim to determine the multi-hop route between a Device-to-Device (D2D) source-destination pair that maximizes the end-to-end throughput, under stochastic interference constraints imposed by the cellular network and a target SINR constraint at the destination. We determine the maximum allowed D2D transmit powers from the interference constraints and propose a throughput-optimal routing...
In massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, superimposed (SP) and time-multiplexed (TM) pilots exhibit a complementary behavior, with the former and latter schemes offering a higher throughput in high and low inter-cell interference scenarios, respectively. Based on this observation, in this paper, we propose an algorithm for partitioning users into two disjoint sets comprising users...
Wireless networks are vulnerable to many malicious attacks, like active interference, due to the shared and open-access nature of the wireless medium. One difficulty in dealing with interference attacks is the lack of knowledge about whether the attack will be present or not. In this paper, we investigate how the lack of knowledge of whether jamming will or will not be used against an OFDM communication...
Energy efficiency is a major requirement for next generation mobile networks both as an end to reduce operational expenses and to increase the systems' ecological friendliness. Another integral part of 5G networks is the increased density of the deployment of small radius base stations, such as femtocells. Based on the design principle that demands a system to be active and transmitting only when...
Effective interference evaluation methods are crucial when making regulatory decisions about whether new wireless technologies should be allowed to operate. Such decisions are highly relevant for both DSA technologies in licensed bands and for technologies coexisting in unlicensed bands. In this paper we demonstrate the benefit of risk-informed interference assessment as an effective method that aids...
