This paper proposes a novel indoor-outdoor caching relay system (CRS) and develops the corresponding caching mechanism, which can improve the utilization of wireless resources. It operates in two phases periodically. In Phase I, spectrum resources of the established links between MBS and user equipment (UE) are extracted to support data caching. In Phase II, caching relay system can directly serve...
In this paper, we consider the resource allocation problem in a Cognitive Radio (CR) downlink system employing both Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technologies. We aim at maximizing the total cognitive system throughput subject to the interference power constraint at the Primary Receiver (PR), the total transmission power constraint...
An optimum power allocation scheme for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique for downlink channels of next generation cellular networks is proposed in this paper. In NOMA downlinks, the signals for each user are superimposed at the transmitter side and SIC is implemented at the receiver side to separate them. Numerical results show that the...
Massive MIMO with small-cells are attracting much attention as a promising scenario for 5G. In those deployment scenarios, it is considered that base stations (BSs) are located at heights below 10 m such as on a lamppost or an exterior wall of a building's second floor. However, the throughput performance in such scenarios has not been sufficiently evaluated yet, since the current widely used channel...
Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has gained more attention as a candidate multiple access scheme for future radio access. A major reason for this is that NOMA has the potential to achieve a more favorable tradeoff between system efficiency and user fairness than orthogonal multiple access (OMA), which is adopted in the 4th generation mobile communication systems such as LTE and LTE-Advanced...
In wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs), each user node, e.g., wireless powered sensor, is capable of either harvesting energy from a power station or transmitting data to a sink node. In the previous works, time division multiple access (TDMA) is typically used for transmission scheduling in WPCNs, that is, only one node can transmit data in one time slot. The spectrum efficiency is therefore...
In LTE, resource scheduling algorithm is one of the key parameters that determine the overall system and UE performances in terms of throughput and fairness respectively. Multiple scheduling techniques are available that emphasizes on optimizing any one of the key system performance parameters. Among them the most potential algorithms are proportional fair (PF) and round robin (RR). PF optimizes UE...
In this paper, we investigate D2D underlaying cellular networks in which both the D2D links and the cellular downlink links have secrecy requirement. We aim to enhance the secrecy sum rate of D2D pairs(DUs) and cellular users(CUs)by sharing the downlink resources of cellular users and exploiting artificial noise. We achieve the design principle for the downlink signal and artificial noise, which provide...
In order to meet the ever increasing mobile application proliferation and data traffic growth, next-generation wireless networks or 5G networks are under a revolutionary technology innovation path towards these goals. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid MU-MIMO and NOMA design scheme in wireless heterogeneous networks to improve the system throughput and also to increase multi-user diversity gains...
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is currently used in the train-ground communication for the urban rail transit systems. Due to the high speed and frequency band limitations, WLAN is unable to meet the demand of future city and intercity rail transit. Time Division-Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE) technology allows to construct a flexible service environment compared with current WLAN based system....
The higher demand for data traffic and the emergence of new applications has made mobile networks challenging to maintain high data rates for users, in particular those located on the cell's edges. The Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) technology adopted in long-term evolution (LTE) cellular networks allows improving the cell's edge performance. In order to improve throughput performance gain in the downlink,...
In mobile communication networks under bursty traffic conditions the interference experienced by the users varies constantly. Therefore, the periodic reporting of channel state information becomes inaccurate and the link adaptation performance deteriorates. In this work, a coordinated scheduling scheme is proposed to improve the link adaptation performance of a non-fully loaded network in the downlink...
Downlink throughput performance in Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A) networks has been widely investigated by many simulation studies. However, these studies generally assume that users are uniformly distributed in regularly arranged hexagonal cells. Analytical models and methods of stochastic geometry have been applied to wireless networks to consider the effects of spatial configuration of...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communication system has adopted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology to provide downlink transmissions to multiple User Equipment (UE) in a single transmission time interval. In OFDMA, UEs provide quantized channel quality information, called channel quality indicator (CQI), to the base station. CQI feedback is then used at the base station...
In this work, we focus on designing high-throughput anycast mechanisms in a software Defined Network (SDN), as anycast routing serves as a fundamental building block for many services. Specifically, we investigate two main challenges for efficient implementation of a SDN-based anycast system: high throughput anycast routing (HTAR) and congestion-free anycast reconfiguration (CFAR). For the first challenge,...
Carrier aggregation, which allows users to aggregate several component carriers to obtain up to 100 MHz of bandwidth, is one of the central features envisioned for next generation cellular networks. While this feature will enable support for higher data rates and improve quality of service, it may also be employed as an effective interference mitigation technique, especially in multi-tier heterogeneous...
Today, data traffic grows in a more dynamic way than voice traffic and it requires high data rates to support advanced services and applications. Mobile operators must deal with this amount of traffic and must meet user requirements. They must provide more throughput on the transmission path. One of the ways this can be done is to use LTE-Advanced with the carrier aggregation technique. This is one...
Introduced by long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) cellular systems, coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission has shown remarkable aptitude for improving network performance. This paper proposes a novel CoMP technique for the downlink of two-tier heterogeneous LTE-A cellular networks. Thorough investigation is carried out to evaluate its performance in terms of total throughput, energy efficiency...
Scheduling technique plays a significant role in distributions of Resource Blocks (RBs) in LTE system. In order to ensure the LTE system operates efficiently, the scheduler needs a good trade-off between the overall cell throughput and the fairness to all the users' equipment (UEs) in its respective cell. Improving the overall cell throughput while maintaining its fairness level is very crucial in...
In this paper, we study resource allocation in full-duplex OFDMA networks. We explore the joint optimization of subcarrier assignment, uplink-downlink user pairing, and power allocation to maximize the overall throughput with consideration of self-interference and inter-node interference. By using the dual method, we can decompose the original optimization problem into a primal problem and a dual...
