In this paper, flexible frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) schemes are considered in FDD spectrum. With FDD spectrum, there is a paired uplink (UL) carrier with each downlink (DL) carrier, each carrier with the same bandwidth. Because equal resources are provisioned for the DL and UL, FDD spectrum is not well suited for asymmetric DL/UL traffic. While the FDD UL-paired...
The growth of Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is challenged by the need to adapt to the resources and environment available for mobile clients while working with the dynamic changes of network bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a model of computation partitioning for stateful data in the dynamic environment that will improve performance. First, we constructed a model of stateful data streaming and...
The incremental needs of the wireless technologies came from the rapid proliferation of the mobile devices, which become one of the life necessities for people. The clear growth in the mobile application markets either in video, audio, or web surfing and with all the innovations and inventions in the technologies, the needs of using the wireless heterogenous networks become a fact. In this paper,...
The smart use of the radio spectrum is viable with the use of Cognitive Radio (CR) techniques and Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware. With that, this project aims to detect and utilize vacant TV channels for secondary users. The lack of spectrum sensing techniques and methods to identify the state of the TV spectrum in a particular time and location is a problem which is delaying the effective...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) boasts several throughput enhancing techniques like optimized MAC layer protocols, better modulation schemes, spatial multiplexing, carrier aggregation, etc. Although these techniques allow LTE to offer data rates as high as 300 Mbps, LTE is expected to fall short of consumer expectations due to the exponentially increasing user data demands. In a bid to cope with the increasing...
The necessity for a network to provide wireless multimedia services in various levels of quality of service (QoS) with maximizing the utilization of spectral resources. By joint relaying and relay selection we can allocate resources with adaptive resource scheduling. The enhanced coverage and capacity is achieved with the help of small cell deployment. The proposed joint relaying and scheduling strategy...
In this paper, portable clouds are devised after observing similarities between providing the Internet access to users onboard vehicles and to users in remote resources-constrained communities. In both cases, a gateway connection to the core network is bandwidth-limited and unreliable. Portable clouds are intended to provide applications and services in scenarios even when the gateway link is not...
Android is an operating system which is available in smartphones and tablets. It uses touch gestures which correlate as activities to perform the operations to embed with the real world actions. Recent technologies adapts android as the primary element because of its salient features and open environment which could be customized in high technological devices. Another secured feature of Android is...
The emerging vehicular applications demand for a lot more computing and communication capacity to excel in their compute-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks. Fog computing, which focuses on moving computing resources to the edge of networks, complements cloud computing by solving the latency constraints and reducing ingress traffic to the cloud. This paper presents a visionary concept on vehicular...
This paper introduces new functionalities for industrial safety applications using the wireless infrastructure of the IEEE 802.11 standard. The new amendments (n/ac/ad) for the 2.4, 5, and 60-GHz-band support additional high data rate modes, for e.g. video applications and device-to-device (D2D) communication. The huge bandwidth in the 60-GHz-band enables precise localization. However, Listen-Before-Talk...
An emerging usage is to rely on mobile devices (Smartphones or tablets) for large-scale events. They can be used for many applications like live voting or chatting, but also to access all the data related to an event. However, in such case, handling mobile devices trying to access data simultaneously is difficult. A Wi-Fi access point can only handle a limited amount of devices. Current solutions,...
Small-cell deployment in licensed and unlicensed spectrum is considered to be one of the key approaches to cope with the ongoing wireless data demand explosion. Compared to traditional cellular base stations with large transmission power, small-cells typically have relatively low transmission power, which makes them attractive for some spectrum bands that have strict power regulations, for example,...
As demands on limited spectrum continue to increase, much focus is being placed on increasing spectral efficiency. One approach which has a great deal of potential in some propagation environments is to use multiple element antennas (MEAs) at the transmitter and/or receiver. Such systems have become commonly referred to as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO).
Mobile web browsing is becoming very popular with the recent advances in the satellite and wireless networks, and the growing popularity of the World Wide Web. The mobile users generally have limited resources, such as low bandwidth and low-resolution terminal, compared to the conventional desktop users. It is important to develop techniques that will enable the mobile users to access the web efficiently...
Demand for broadband wireless access is rising as the need for user mobility and data access at all times increases. WiMAX also called IEEE 802.16 provides various Quality of Service (QoS) support at medium access control (MAC) layer to various classes of traffics such as audio, video, images and text. Scheduling plays an important role in providing QoS. IEEE 802.16 standard has not specified a standard...
In this paper, a Full-duplex (FD) antenna system is presented with a high isolation between the TX and RX antennas. The isolation method is based on utilizing balanced antennas to localize the current on the ground plane and single mode excitation of the ground plane with capacitive coupling elements. The simulation results show a promising isolation level of 75 dB. User impact investigation on the...
In recent years, as higher performance terminal equipments are spread, the amount of mobile data traffic is growing rapidly by using popularization of streaming services in wireless networks. To overcome this situation, it is considered that Access Points (APs) are deployed densely for capacity improvement. In such an environment, virtualization is a possible technique to use multiple APs efficiently...
Due to dynamic wireless network conditions and heterogeneous mobile web content complexities, web-based content services in mobile network environments always suffer from long loading time. The new HTTP/2.0 protocol only adopts one single TCP connection, but recent research reveals that in real mobile environments, web downloading using single connection will experience long idle time and low bandwidth...
The exponentially increasing demand for higher data rates has pushed the mobile network operators and researchers to scout for ways to improve the system bandwidth, most notably by using the unlicensed band which already hosts long-standing technologies like Wi-Fi. Of late, some effort has gone into exploring the performance of Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) which can boost the bandwidth of LTE by...
Due to the massive explosion of social networking and content sharing, it is becoming challenging to transmit a huge amount of multimedia content over wireless mobile networks.
