Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication which supports ubiquitous information exchange and content sharing among vehicles with little or no human intervention becomes a key enabler for intelligent transportation industry. In this paper, we adopt a two-hop relay transmission mode to maximize the total spectrum efficiency of a device-to-device (D2D) based vehicular cooperative network while ensuring...
With the evolution of cellular networks and the panoply of different services offered, it is crucial for mobile network operators to start planning with procedures that are simple, inexpensive and robust. In this paper we develop and present a methodology for the planning and dimensioning of UMTS network dedicated to the region of Bejaia in Algeria. The work focuses on the UTRAN since the implementation...
The massive demand of mobile data traffic stimulates the emergence of cache-enabled heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets). Caching at the network edge can reduce the duplicated transmissions of the contents and improve users' quality of service (QoS), however, the dense deployment of cache-enabled small base stations (SBSs) and relays poses a challenge on energy consumption. Several emerging technologies...
Supporting diverse services under a unified system is a major concern for the realization in the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. In 5G systems, the massive connection property of massive machine-type communications (mMTC) results in the huge demand of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) resources. Furthermore, greater overhead of PDCCH is indispensable for ultra-reliable downlink transmission...
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is an effective way for energy-constrained unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, an amplify and forward (AF) relaying network is considered, where an energy-constrained UAV harvests energy and information simultaneously from base station and then transmits the information to the destination node. Based...
In a communication-constrained and adversarial environment, it is an interesting and challenging problem for multiple vehicles to patrol the whole environment by sensing with their limited visibility. Early works based on deterministic paths are predictable to the adversary, and recent non-deterministic works are limited to only a circular environment and require synchronization. So, we propose a...
In wireless network system the resources are limited. Therefore, managing resources is considered as a challenging task. The resource are distributed among attached UEs, so allocating resources needs to be well controlled. Packet scheduler in LTE network is responsible for assigning resources to attached UEs. Also, femtocell network is considered as promising solution for poor channel in indoor environment...
Anytime and anywhere network access can be provided by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) with air-to-ground and air-to-air communications using directional antennas for targets located on the ground. Deploying these Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to cover targets is a complex problem since each target should be covered, while minimizing (i) the deployment cost and (ii) the UAV altitudes to ensure good communication...
The heterogeneous network concept in many respects meets customer requirements and maintains high energy efficiency. In this paper, we mainly investigate the impact of deployment efficiency of heterogeneous small cells BSs compared to the advantages of increasing the performance of wireless networks as a whole. We used well-known analytical models for calculating the values that can be obtained for...
The performance of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is heavily affected by pilot contamination. This paper considers the problem of pilot contamination in massive MIMO systems, and investigates the normalized mean square error (NMSE) of the minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation algorithm in the presence of pilot contamination. An effective uplink training strategy...
Proactive caching is a promising technology in 5G wireless networks. Small-cell base stations (SBS) can cache popular contents to assist the macro base station, and proactive caching are considered to cope with the weak backhaul links of SBSs. However, obtaining popular contents and making the optimal caching strategy may be challenging. In this paper, a novel learning-based approach is proposed,...
Human mobility pattern analysis are interesting and important topic which has become feasible nowadays by the flashing development of data collection and analysis platform technology. This paper leverages Call Detail Records(CDRs) data to analyze the mobility patterns of samples from Beijing residents. First, collective mobility and commuting patterns shows that Beijing residents are much busier than...
These days wireless sensor networks are being used in many different fields. Limited energy and efficient usage of energy are the most important factors that should be considered in these networks. Node clustering increases the efficacy of the energy consumption. Each cluster has a cluster head(CH) that is a member of that cluster and its duty is sending and receiving data in the network. So finding...
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology based on Wi-Fi technology has recently been used to prevent vehicles from colliding with each other. However, in V2V communications, radio waves cannot be diffracted well enough at intersections at which vehicles cannot detect each other. Therefore, such technology might not prevent traffic accidents from occurring. In this study, we used mobile networks...

Increasing demand in multimedia streaming has led to the advancement of Internet speed, reliability and other techniques. The 3GPP LTE network uses eMBMS protocol for broadcasting and multicasting the multimedia streaming, still the base station overloading has become an alarming issue due to the growing need of the mobile users. Since bandwidth is scares and limited, many emerging fields such as...
Providing low cost, reliable and efficient applications become the major pillars of Internet of Things. According to coverage range, Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) take a prominent place at the expense of cellular networks based applications.

Efficient utilization of sensor energy to prolong the WSN' lifetime is proposed in this paper. A hybrid PSO Genetic sleep scheduling algorithm for WSNs to escape the local optima trap is the focus of this work. The proposed scheme uses a new parameter: Local Optimum Detector (LOD) for switching from PSO to GA algorithm in order to escape to the local optima trap caused by PSO.
