This work considers in-band interference that appears in two-tier macro/femto cellular networks when macrocells and femtocells operate on the same frequency band. We focus on the time division duplex (TDD) mode where uplink-downlink interference occurs if time sharing between uplink and downlink are different in the overlaying macrocell and underlying femtocells. We derive an optimal power control based solution for a simple example scenario and then propose an extension for general multicell/multilink network. Finally, we show through simulations that the proposed solution can be used to mitigate the outage in the femtocell uplink without harming the macrocell layer.

This paper analyzes the maximum achievable transmission capacity of the D2D communication system under heterogeneous networks. The heterogeneous networks contain two primary systems working on independent bands and D2D communication guarantees the target outage probabilities of both systems on each band. By utilizing stochastic geometry, the effects of the spatial densities and the transmission power allocation ratio on the achievable transmission capacity are presented. Moreover, the optimal transmission density of D2D pairs and the optimal power allocation ratio are derived. The maximum capacity of D2D communication is defined based on the former optimal value from theoretical results. It is shown that the optimal power allocation ratio is proportional to the product of bandwidth, node density and transmission power of two primary systems.

Exploring new techniques for spectrum sensing (SS), which can detect the weak primary signals instantly, has been an important research challenge. In this paper, the problem of enhancing SS efficiency in cognitive SatComs has been considered. The analysis of different combining techniques has been carried out for SS using dual polarized antenna. Furthermore, polarization states of received signals are exploited and based on obtained polarization states, Optimum Polarization Based Combining (OPBC) technique has been used for carrying out SS in the satellite terminal. The sensing performance of OPBC technique has been compared to selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) techniques. The simulation results show that OPBC technique achieves a great improvement in sensing efficiency over other considered techniques at the expense of complexity in a dual polarized AWGN channel.

In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme for interference mitigation in heterogeneous networks to simultaneously serve both Macrocell User Equipments (MUEs) and Home User Equipments (HUEs). In the proposed Shadow Chasing scheme, a Home eNB (HeNB) uses Downlink Control Information (DCI) together with ACK/NAK feedback to assign its HUEs the Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) that are also potentially used by outdoor MUEs. Since the HeNB receives an outdated DCI due to backhaul delay, our Shadow Chasing algorithm (SCA) determines a likelihood metric for each PRB being either vacant or assigned to an outdoor MUE. By dynamically separating MUE and HUE PRB assignments, SCA can control the downlink interference to MUE. Our numerical examples demonstrate effective reduction of probability for PRB assignment collision and MUE interference over random assignment and a DCI based assignment that does not take into account the delay effect nor the ACK/NAK signal.

We consider an extension of the cognitive radio channel model in which the secondary transmitter has to obtain (“learn”) the primary message in a first phase rather than having non-causal knowledge of it. We propose an achievable rate region that combines elements of decode-and-forward relaying with coding for the pure cognitive radio channel model. Moreover, we find the choice of parameters that maximize the secondary rate under a primary rate constraint. Finally, we compare numerically the performance of our system to that of an underlay scheme that combines beamforming, rate splitting, and successive decoding. We observe that although the overlay design provides higher rates, the losses due to the first phase are quite severe. In fact, for the considered scenarios, cleverly designed underlay schemes can provide comparable performance.

Recent FCC rulings in the US, mandating spectrum databases for white spaces unlicensed access, raise interesting challenges on the placement of road-side base stations (BS) connected to spectrum databases distributing spectrum knowledge to cognitive radios embedded in passing by vehicles. This paper takes the first step towards developing an analytical framework for determining the topology of such a vehicular network, where the network components are the spectrum database, multiple BSs and moving vehicles in different traffic conditions. Our framework not only adheres to the FCC specifications, but it also provides a cost-revenue analysis given the environmental parameters such as vehicular density, BS road coverage and the tradeoffs between local vs. database assisted sensing, thereby making this a potential tool for future network design. A comprehensive simulation study is undertaken using real traffic traces to show the application and benefit of our method in a practical setting.

In this paper, we propose a new interference management scheme for femtocells systems based on the cooperation and inter-handover techniques between competing cells in the context of cognitive radio systems. The original idea presented in this work consists of initiating a cooperation protocol between femtocells through inter-handover algorithm based on channel gain diversity. Users belong a given femtocell are allowed to connect to a neighboring cell if their channel gains to this cell are better than what they have with their own femtocell. We have shown in this work, using a game theory based resource allocation scheme, that we can achieve better performance in terms of capacity and power consumption using our approach. The results have shown also that a simple win-win cooperation protocols can be implemented to improve the energy consumption and performance of new cellular systems such as femtocells or even for classical cellular systems if a minimum cooperation schemes are allowed.

Spectrum trading is the promising method to improve spectrum efficiency from the perspective of economics. In this paper we propose a queueing-theory based spectrum trading model, where the primary user plays the server role providing spectrum to the secondary user who acts as the customer. The most significant challenge is how to optimize the spectrum trading model considering the server uncertainty which includes service state, service time, service area, service content and service price. We design a STACP queueing model according to the server attributes, so that the secondary user can choose the right queue quickly and reasonably according to its demand. Moreover, we further analyze the optimizing strategies for STACP model which can maximize the profit of the primary user and minimize the service cost of the secondary user. The simulation results demonstrate the analysis results.

A currently prevalent view of the operation of white space cognitive radios is that they should use geolocation databases to determine their frequency band and maximum transmission power in any given location so that interference radiated to broadcast receivers is negligible. To estimate the level of such interference, physical reference geometries and path loss estimates have been proposed between co-located devices. In this paper we present results of a measurement campaign conducted over indoor and outdoor reference geometry scenarios in a digital terrestrial television test network. Applying a subjective error criterion, we provide practical estimates on the maximum relative transmit powers for white space devices in order to avoid visible interference in television reception. The study applies to various primary and secondary transmission and reception scenarios, and its results can be extended also to estimate protection ratios for signal configurations not considered in the reported measurements.

Cognitive radio networks suffer from dynamic interruptions from primary users. The joint congestion control and routing are tackled using stochastic control techniques. Centralized dynamic programming is applied for the primal optimization, which provides a performance upper bound. Q-learning is applied when the primary user knowledge is unknown. Dual optimization based decomposition is used to decentralize the stochastic control. A heuristic scheme based on the limited lookahead policy (LLP) and binary pricing is proposed to tackle the prohibitive difficulty in the dual optimization. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed algorithms achieve the optimal or near-optimal performance.
