In this paper, we investigate the coexistence problem between Wi-Fi and a pre-standard form of LTE over unlicensed bands, namely, LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U). We address two coexistence problems. First, the different access mechanisms for Wi-Fi and LTE-U can lead to an increase in the collision rate and higher latency for both systems. We propose a modified Wi-Fi operation mode, whereby Wi-Fi stations...
In in-memory database systems augmented by hardware accelerators, accelerating the index searching operations can greatly increase the runtime performance of database queries. Recently, adaptive radix trees (ART) have been shown to provide very fast index search implementation on the CPU. Here, we focus on an accelerator-based implementation of ART. We present a detailed performance study of our GPU-based...
Globalization and highly competitive business environment are pushing many organizations to realize numerous productivity improvement efforts in order to continue to survive. To gain competitive advantage, manufacturing organizations are compelled to adopt productivity enhancement programs such as total quality management (TQM), total productive maintenance (TPM), lean manufacturing concept to achieve...
Packet classification—the matching of packet headers against a predefined rule set—is a crucial functionality of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and SDN switches. Most existing classification algorithms trade setup time for classification speed—that is, the packet classification is fast, but the transformation of rules set into the corresponding search data structure takes a considerable amount...
The interconnection network has a large influence on total cost, application performance, energy consumption, and overall system efficiency of a supercomputer. Unfortunately, today's routing algorithms do not utilize this important resource most efficiently. We first demonstrate this by defining the dark fiber metric as a measure of unused resource in networks. To improve the utilization, we propose...
In this paper, the problem of fairly balancing the radar and communication performance in a dual communication and radar system is studied. To gain insight into the problem, a simple model of such a system using OFDM-style waveforms with SNR as the radar's objective and throughput as the communication's objective is explored. As a criteria for balancing the performance of both objectives, α fairness...
The evolution of intelligent fab automation raises the opportunity of improving fab effectiveness such as product yield and machine efficiency by predicting their possible losses and taking proper actions in advance. With the huge amount of real-time data being collected in modern fab, the conventional standards and indexes defined for the yield and the productivity shall be inevitably altered in...
In this paper, we study the throughput of compressive random access for machine type communications (MTC) and compare it with that of multi-channel ALOHA. In compressive random access, the sparsity of active devices is exploited to use compressive sensing (CS) based low-complexity multiuser detection (MUD) when non-orthogonal spreading codes are used to support a number of devices. For tractable analysis,...
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...
The throughput of a conventional rate-compatible code based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol is lower-bounded by the rate of the mother code used. The mother code rate along with the highest puncture rate determine the operation range of the protocol in terms of the average received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose a new HARQ protocol based on rate-compatible punctured...
Graph algorithms are increasingly used in applications that exploit large databases. However, conventional processor architectures are inadequate for handling the throughput and memory requirements of graph computation. Lincoln Laboratory's graph-processor architecture represents a rethinking of parallel architectures for graph problems. Our processor utilizes innovations that include a sparse matrix-based...
In this paper, we investigate a user-centric Coordinated Multiple Point (CoMP) transmission scheme to improve Energy Efficiency (EE) in dense Heterogeneous Network (HetNet), which takes advantage of both Dynamic Point Reduced Power (DPRP) and Joint Transmission (JT). DPRP with a user voting method rather than Dynamic Point Blanking (DPB) is introduced to fully use the power while reducing energy consumption...
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...
Resource Allocation (RA) is one of the crucial elements in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, which has a tremendous impact on the network performance. However, complexity of the RA problem increases when both Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) are enabled in the network. CA is a key functionality for LTE- Advanced (LTE-A) that enables Mobile Networ Operators (MNOs)...
This paper presents an architecture of decision feedback equalizer (DFE) based on concurrent lookahead technique using distributed arithmetic (DA) for low cost implementation. For multi-gigabit design, concurrent lookahead technique opens up the loop and provides throughput which is proportional to parallelization factor using multi-input finite impulse response (MI-FIR) filter. We employed DA approach...
Parallel file systems are important infrastructures for both cloud and high performance computing. The performance of metadata operations is critical to achieve high scalability in parallel file systems. Nevertheless, traditional parallel file systems are lack of scalable metadata service. To alleviate these problems, some previous research distributes metadata to separated large-scale clusters and...
As the data available on the web is in heterogeneous formats such as text, video, audio etc. Hence, there is need to integrate the data from the different sources and analyze the data which can be utilized for efficient query execution. After integration the data becomes large and there is need to used different techniques to analyze data. Thus, a de-duplication technique has been introduced by integrating...
It is well known that in-place update index, unordered log structured index and ordered log structured index are three typical data organizations which are designed to meet different workload requirements respectively and wildly used in big data storage systems. Differentiated workload requirements in different phase of the data lifecycle, e.g. various types of data are injected into the big data...

This paper addresses the optimization of a multicell network where each cell needs to select precoding matrices for beamforming in a distributed way. A modified version of the adaptive min-sum algorithm that considers reduced-size messages in the message-passing procedure is proposed. The message-passing technique, where each message is reduced to convey only part of usual information, is applied...
