In this paper, an integrated radio resource allocation (IRRA) algorithm is proposed for enhanced uplink UTRA-FDD with fixed relay stations (RSs). It comprises three entities: load based route manager (LBRM), base station resource scheduler (BSRS), and relay station load balancer (RSLB). LBRM is responsible for the selection of user transmission routes, BSRS is for the scheduling of user transmission time and rates based on the available base station (BS) capacity, and RSLB is for the fine-tuning of user resource assignments (e.g. assigned rates) so as to prevent the overloading of RSs. The three entities operate periodically, synchronously, and with coordinated interactions. By system level simulations, the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with two other cases: 1) non-relaying, 2) relaying with a benchmark approach. The results show that IRRA can ensure significant gains in terms of cell throughput

In this paper a new approach for the calibration of electromagnetic material parameters (permittivity) of 3D ray tracing prediction model at 2.4 GHz is presented. The calibration procedure is based on measurements of the channel impulse response using cross-correlation techniques and the 802.11b preamble. Further developments of a method, which has been published earlier, are presented. The analysis of the permittivity of different walls determined from a short measurement campaign is shown

Transmit power control (TPC) protocols have been proposed to address the limited power supplies in ad hoc networks. However, most of the previous work minimizes the transmit power without considering both the energy wasted in collisions and the energy used to overcome the interference from all the interfering nodes existing in the network. Our previous work shows the optimal transmit power for the maximum throughput and per frame minimum consumed energy exists and occurs when the power level is sufficient to avoid the interference, and causes the least contention between nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel per-frame-based TPC protocol, DEM AC, in ad hoc networks using IEEE 802.11 at low PHY rate. To avoid interference, improve throughput, and save energy, DEMAC adaptively looks for the optimal transmit power based on the network interference and data payload. DEMAC is validated via simulations and is shown to outperform several existing TPC protocols

MIMO communication systems can provide high channel capacity and is considered as a candidate for the next generation wireless systems. However, there is insufficient investigation about effects of the imperfection caused by the RF hardware on the MIMO systems. In this paper, we focus on the influence of the IQ imbalance on a MIMO-OFDM communication system. As a result, it is found that the IQ imbalance causes both inter-subcarrier and inter-stream interferences in the MIMO-OFDM system, and severely degrades the performance of the system. To combat this problem, a new extended channel matrix including the influence of IQ imbalance is introduced. Then the method of IQ imbalance compensation by using the extended channel matrix is proposed in this paper. The validity of the proposed IQ imbalance compensation scheme on the MIMO-OFDM system is investigated by computer simulation

We consider the problem of resource allocation in multiuser single-antenna wideband OFDM(A) systems. The key advantage of such systems with respect to narrow band systems is the possibility of considering frequency as an additional resource to be allocated. Although the maximum normalized average throughput is not increased with respect to that in a narrowband system, a more efficient use of resources is possible especially if the bandwidth is considerably larger than the coherence bandwidth of the channel and the channel is varying slowly with respect to the scheduling updates. This is mainly because randomness in the system is increased by the wideband resources. The work presented in this paper analyzes the effects of bandwidth on the delay characteristics. To this end, the relationship between ergodic information rates, stability and delay in multiuser communications systems is studied and candidate resource allocation policies are presented and simulated

One of the hot topics in the communication world is to realize a network able to offer a combination of services complying with different requirements in every place of the world, thus achieving the concept of "entertainment everywhere". In such a context a key role is played by aeronautical world that seems to be one of the last remaining islands in which broadband communications are not available. The present paper aims at studying resource management for a CDMA-based return link via satellite to provide passengers with new generation services. We focus on the connection admission control problem for QoS guarantees, analyzing in particular, the effective bandwidth concept over CDMA discussing its applicability to a multi-service packet switched network. Two admission control algorithms are then derived, based on the effective bandwidth concept for the circuit switched-like services and on a moving average window and linear predictor model for packet switched services. Finally, the performance over aeronautical broadband communication system is evaluated

Real-time multimedia applications, such as VoIP, video conferencing or on-line gaming are key applications to the success of 4G. In today's Internet these applications are not subject to congestion control, therefore the growth of popularity of these applications may endanger the stability of the Internet. On the other hand, 4G networks will be much more dynamic due to mobility and multi-homing, and the network conditions may vary abruptly requiring a fast response from the control mechanism. In this article we compare the feedback-based to the reservation-based congestion control approach and focus on the first one, by evaluating some mechanisms with respect to media friendliness, scalability and dynamic behaviour. We also present a set of requirements for the ideal congestion control mechanism of real-time flows in 4G networks

This article presents a set of quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes for four transmit antennas that achieves full diversity and high coding gain whenever a square lattice constellation is adopted. From the simulation results, the new designs perform very closely to quasi-orthogonal codes with constellation rotations. Without a search of the optimal rotation angle and any constellation expansion, our new codes yield an advantageous transmission scheme for QPSK and 16-QAM modulations
