Relay channels have been extensively studied in the literature since the seminal paper by Cover and El Gamal. Nevertheless, characterizing the capacity of relay channels still presents open issues. While numerous works addressed this problem with constant powers or targeted the sum-rate optimization, computing the capacity in the case of a global power constraint was less studied. In this paper, we introduce the concept of virtual nodes to derive analytical expressions of the relay channel capacity as a function of the total power. This transformation leads to simple closed-form expressions of the upper bound and decode-and-forward (DF) lower bound on the capacity of the full- and half-duplex relay channels. The half-duplex study is separated into low and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) cases. The impact of these approximations is evaluated and found to achieve a large part of the maximal capacity in the worst case where the equivalent received SNR is neither low nor high, typically between 0-10dB.

Femtocell networks have gained momentum due to their important benefits, such as improved indoor coverage, higher areal spectral efficiency, enhanced signal quality, among others. Those benefits are only achievable if adequate deployment decisions and efficient resource allocation techniques are able to assure the seamless co-existence among Femtocell Access Points (FAPs) within the femtocell tier and between FAPs and macrocell users. In this work, we study the frequency planning problem on the femtocell tier deployed on a closed access mode and using a dedicated spectrum. A novel radio resource allocation technique that performs a mid/long-term frequency planning for the FAPs in the femtocell tier is proposed. It is concluded in this paper that the Dynamic Frequency Planning (DFP) algorithm based on the Branch and Bound technique is able to find the optimal frequency planning according to any desired criterion and that the proposed algorithm is suitable for implementation in a distributed 4G femtocell network regarding signaling overhead and latency aspects.

In this paper, we study the power consumption in relay networks of the 60 GHz wireless communication based on amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying strategies. We propose a total power consumption model including drive power, decoding power, and power consumption of power amplifier (PA). This model is formulated as a function of drive power, which gives an easy access to the system level optimisation. The optimal drive power that minimises the total power consumption while satisfying the performance requirement can be found by numerical searching method. The impact of relay's locations on the total power consumption is also investigated. We show that, with the same performance requirement, in the small source-relay separation case AF consumes less power than DF, while with larger separation, AF consumes significantly more power than DF. This is different from the common intuition that DF is always more power consuming than AF due to the extra decoding power consumption at relay, which is due to the fact that the large source-relay separation limits the effective destination signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in AF, leading to more substantial decoding power consumption in the many more decoding iterations than DF.

Multi-antenna spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio are receiving a lot of attention recently. In this paper, we consider multi-antenna detection when the noise covariance matrix is assumed to be arbitrary and unknown. The studies leading to this paper have been motivated by the existence but typically unknown noise correlation in practice. A multiple primary user detector, derived from the generalized likelihood ratio criterion, is analyzed in such a scenario. We calculate the exact moments of the test statistics involved, which lead to a simple and accurate analytical formula for the false alarm probability. The result is obtained by utilizing tools from multivariate analysis as well as moment based approximations. Simulations are conducted to examine accuracy of the derived result, with the achieved accuracy being reasonably good. From the considered simulation settings, performance gain over existing detection algorithms is observed in scenarios with arbitrary but unknown noise correlation and multiple primary users.

We consider a decode-and-forward based wireless multihop network with a single source node, a single destination node, and N intermediate nodes. To increase the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of the system, we propose a cooperative multihop communication with spatial reuse, in which interference is treated as noise. The performance of spatial-reused space-time coded cooperative multihop network is analyzed over Rayleigh fading channels. More specifically, the exact closed-form expression for the outage probability at the nth receiving node is derived when there are multiple interferences over non-i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channels. In addition, we propose a simple power control scheme which is only dependent on the statistical knowledge of channels. Finally, the analytic results were confirmed by simulations. It is shown by simulations that the spatial-reused multihop transmission outperforms the interference-free multihop transmission in terms of energy efficiency in low and medium SNR scenarios.

SHVC is the proposed scalable extension to the next-generation High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, which delivers a 50% bandwidth reduction for the same video quality when compared to the current H.264/AVC standard. SHVC further offers a scalable format that can be readily adapted to meet network conditions or terminal capabilities. Both bandwidth saving and scalability are highly desirable characteristics of adaptive video streaming applications in bandwidth-constrained, wireless networks. We implement and evaluate temporal, spatial and quality scalability schemes for SHVC on a wireless testbed. However, there is little published work on video transmission using this important extension to the emerging HEVC standard. Quality scalability in SHVC is empirically shown to deliver peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) improvements of up to 6.4dB over a previous streaming scheme for HEVC. Our SHVC streaming scheme also outperforms H.264/SVC with over 50% bandwidth saving for similar quality.

We develop a novel approach to source localization in mobile wireless sensor networks. Standard approaches make explicit assumptions relating to the statistical characteristics of the physical process and propagation environments which result from distributional model assumptions in a likelihood-based inference method. In contrast, we adopt an approach known in statistics as a non-parametric modeling framework which allows one to relax the number of required statistical assumptions, specifically with regard to the distributional properties of the received signal and the physical process. This is achieved via a re-formulation of the problem as a flexible non-parametric regression model via the framework of Gaussian Processes. Coupling this modeling perspective with a Bayesian optimization mechanism, we frame the global optimization objective as a sequential decision problem. We then develop an efficient algorithm to sequentially select the optimal location at which the mobile sensor should obtain observations under communication and mobility constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm at achieving accurate localization in a wireless sensor network.

In IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, periodic channel scanning is an essential procedure to discover available access points (APs) in vicinity and to achieve fast handover. However, this procedure leads to unnecessary overhead in wireless networks and also interrupts ongoing communications of stations. In this paper, we propose a smart channel scanning scheme that minimizes the communication interruptions. In the proposed scheme, periodic channel scanning is scheduled based on the predefined channel scanning intervals and activated after a successful frame transmission only if the mobile station is on move and the received signal strength indicator value (RSSI) drops below a pre-specified threshold value. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed channel scanning scheme reduces the channel scanning overhead dramatically, minimizes communication interruptions and improves the overall throughputs of stations.

Macrocellular networks with frequency reuse across sectors of the same eNodeB and neighbouring eNodeBs suffer from high interference at the cell boundaries, resulting in an uneven distribution of User Equipment (UE) throughputs. Recently, it has been shown that for two-carrier HSDPA networks a horizontal sector offset configuration for the second carrier can significantly enhance network performance at the cost of an increased number of handovers. In this paper, this sector offset configuration is extended to LTE through a novel approach, which allows deploying offset antennas in eNodeBs without significantly increasing the number of handovers. The proposed sector offset configuration is compatible with current channel dependent schedulers, and provides significant gains. Simulation results show that for LTE the proposed sector offset configuration can increase the average UE throughput and 5%-tile UE throughput by up to 22% and 32%, respectively, while slightly increasing the number of handovers compared to the traditional eNodeB configuration. Moreover, results show that the new configuration can significantly reduce the handover failure rate by up to 69%.

Relay deployments promise to alleviate the limitations of conventional macrocell networks, such as poor indoor penetration and coverage holes in a cost-efficient way. In this context, the capacity of the wireless relay link between a relay node (RN) and its serving base station (BS) has a crucial role in the achievable end-to-end performance. The deployment flexibility of RNs, which mainly stems from the wireless relay link, compact physical characteristics, and low-power consumption, can be exploited by relay site planning (RSP) to overcome the limitations of the relay link and, thus, enhance the system performance. To this end, RSP is carried out via selecting an RN deployment location from a discrete set of alternatives considering the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) on the relay link as the selection criterion. In practice, the so-called coarse RSP takes into account only large-scale fading due to shadowing. Nevertheless, as RNs are stationary, the wireless channels pertaining to relay deployments are subject to simultaneous impairments by both shadowing and multi-path fading, i.e., composite fading/shadowing. In this paper, we present the performance of coarse RSP that can be used for planning and dimensioning of two-hop cellular relay networks in composite fading/shadowing environments, where co-channel interference is also present. The relay link is modeled by Nakagami-lognormal distribution while the access link between a mobile terminal (MT) and its serving RN is modeled by Rician-lognormal distribution. Furthermore, we provide an accurate analytical framework through closed-form expressions for relay link SINR, link rates, and end-to-end rate. Results show that coarse RSP can still yield high performance improvements considering composite fading/shadowing channels.
中继部署有望以一种经济有效的方式缓解传统宏蜂窝网络的局限性，例如室内渗透率差和覆盖漏洞。在这种情况下，中继节点(RN)与其服务基站(BS)之间的无线中继链路的容量在可实现的端到端性能中起着至关重要的作用。中继站点规划(relay site planning, RSP)可以利用RNs的部署灵活性，克服中继链路的限制，从而提高系统的性能。RNs的部署灵活性主要源于无线中继链路，物理特性紧凑，功耗低。为此，RSP通过考虑中继链路上的信噪比(SINR)作为选择标准，从一组离散的备选方案中选择RN部署位置来进行。在实践中，所谓的粗RSP只考虑由于阴影引起的大规模衰落。然而，由于RNs是静止的，与中继部署有关的无线信道同时受到阴影和多径衰落的损害，即复合衰落/阴影。在本文中，我们介绍了粗RSP的性能，该性能可用于在复合衰落/阴影环境中规划和标注两跳蜂窝中继网络，其中也存在同信道干扰。中继链路采用nakagami -对数正态分布建模，移动终端与服务终端之间的接入链路采用ririan -对数正态分布建模。此外，我们通过中继链路SINR、链路速率和端到端速率的封闭表达式提供了一个准确的分析框架。结果表明，考虑到复合衰落/阴影信道，粗RSP仍然可以获得较高的性能改进。

The relay link is modeled by Nakagami-lognormal distribution while the access link between a mobile terminal (MT) and its serving RN is modeled by Rician-lognormal distribution. Furthermore, we provide an accurate analytical framework through closed-form expressions for relay link SINR, link rates, and end-to-end rate. Results show that coarse RSP can still yield high performance improvements considering composite fading/shadowing channels.","PeriodicalId":210993,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 24th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122772558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
