In the context of Cognitive Radio (CR), opportunistic transmissions can exploit temporarily vacant spectral bands. Efficient and reliable spectrum sensing is key in the CR process. CR receivers traditionally deal with wideband signals with high Nyquist rates and low Signal to Noise Ratios (SNRs). Sub-Nyquist sampling of such signals has been proposed for efficient sampling in CRs. The modulated wideband converter (MWC) is an example of such a sampling scheme. It is composed of an analog front-end, that aliases the signal intentionally before sampling it at a low rate. The signal can then be digitally reconstructed from the low rate samples, using the known relation between the samples and the original signal. Unfortunately, in real hardware implementation, this relation becomes unknown. Physical effects have a considerable impact on the sampling process, and as a consequence, the signal cannot be reliably recovered. In this paper, we present an efficient automated calibration algorithm that builds the actual transfer function of the system, without any prior knowledge. We then present a new, MWC based, CR prototype, on which the calibration algorithm was tested. Experiments on our hardware prototype, based on an embedded proprietary card, show that our calibrated transfer function leads to signal reconstruction whereas the theoretical one fails. Our specification complies with CR requirements of the IEEE standard 802.22 and was experimentally verified with different modulations. It vastly improves a previous prototype in terms of bandwidth, higher maximal frequency and coping with lower SNR.

In the next few years, small cells (SCs) are expected to be densely deployed to achieve sustainable capacity enhancement. Due to the high SC density, some SCs will not have a direct connection to the core network, and thus will forward their traffic to their neighboring SCs through a multi-hop backhaul (BH). In such multi-hop architectures, the user association problem becomes challenging with BH energy consumption playing a key role. In parallel, the ever-increasing need to minimize the user equipment (UE) transmission power along with the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) traffic asymmetry, predicate the joint study of UL and DL. Thus, in this paper, we study the joint UL and DL cell selection problem aiming at maximizing the total network energy efficiency, without compromising the UE quality of service. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem, which is NP-hard. Therefore, we propose a heuristic context-aware algorithm that associates the UEs in an energy-efficient way, while considering both access and BH energy consumption in UL and DL. We evaluate the proposed algorithm performance and we show that it can achieve significantly higher energy efficiency than the reference approaches, while maintaining high spectral efficiency and low UE power consumption.

In this paper, we propose several power allocation strategies in cognitive radio network in terms of spectrum sharing. In spectrum sharing, secondary users can simultaneously transmit with the primary users but must strictly control their transmit power to avoid harmful interference to primary users. In this paper, we first maximize the ergodic capacity of a secondary link with full channel side information at the secondary transmitter. Then, different levels of channel side information are separately reduced to discuss the significance of having each level at the secondary transmitter. In most cases, we derived closed-form results for evaluating the maximum capacity over Rayleigh fading channels.

In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient resource allocation method to simultaneously improve both downlink and uplink energy efficiency (EE) for time division duplex (TDD) systems with carrier aggregation (CA). We aim at EE tradeoff between downlink and uplink by optimizing the power and bandwidth allocation on each carrier component (CC) for each user. The objective function is a sum of several fractional functions, therefore, a novel nonlinear sum-of-ratios programming technique is used to solve it. We first transform the problem into an equivalent and better tractable one and then propose an iterative algorithm to find the global optimum solution. Numerical results show that our method can converge with an acceptable number of iterations and achieve flexible EE tradeoff between downlink and uplink.

A number of binary modulation schemes are proposed for LED based Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems to jointly achieve data transmission and brightness control. These binary modulation based solutions are spectrally inefficient because they consider the LED light source as single device. We observe that most of the commercial LED lights use more than one LED per light source and the possibility of individual current control of these LEDs would provide better brightness control resolution as well as higher data transmission rates. To achieve this we propose multi-level multi-pulse position modulation block coding scheme to jointly control multiple LEDs providing flicker free VLC link. The brightness level of the light source is controlled based on the number of LEDs switched on simultaneously. New algorithms are developed for symbol encoding/decoding as well as to enumerate the maximum number of symbols that can be encoded for the selected brightness level and the number of levels. Improvement in spectral efficiency is analyzed and compared with the contending binary modulation schemes.

In this paper, we explore a method for simultaneous tranmission to coherent and non-coherent receivers, based on ternary sequences. In many communication scenarios, the transmitters are required to support both coherent and non-coherent forms of reception thereby requiring the transmission protocols to be designed such that the transmitted data is decoded reliably at both coherent and non-coherent receivers. Further, in such scenarios, for practical purposes, the transmitter is assumed to be agnostic to the type of the intended receiver, making the design more challenging. Thus motivated, we propose a transmission mechanism for simultaneous reception by coherent and noncoherent receivers. This transmission is enabled by ternary codes, i.e., codes over the ternary alphabet: {-1, 0, +1}. The design of these ternary codes, which exhibit good correlation properties for both coherent and non-coherent reception is a major contribution of this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed codes provide almost similar performance as the optimal codes meant for the respective receiver types.

Numerous applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in harsh terrains are constrained by the sensors' battery-power and face the difficulties of data collection. In this paper, we propose to exploit wireless power transfer technology to replenish the energy of sensor clusters and develop an efficient data collection scheme for those wireless rechargeable senor clusters deployed in harsh terrains. In view of the harsh terrains, we employ unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to travel to the sites of sensor clusters, collect data, and recharge the sensors in corresponding clusters. With joint consideration of data collection characteristics, wireless power transfer features and travel time, we mathematically formulate the data collection in rechargeable WSNs into an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing data collection utility. Based on the matching theory, we also develop a one side matching algorithm and a greedy algorithm to solve the problem in distributed manner. Through simulations, we show that UAVs are not always matched with nearest sensor clusters, the solution of the proposed greedy algorithm is optimal, and the sensed data can be efficiently collected.

Voice over LTE (VoLTE), adopted as a standard technology by 3GPP is confronted by a number of challenges due to different Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements as well as the Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) problem. In this paper, a novel Resource Allocation (RA) strategy for improving VoIP capacity in LTE uplink system is proposed. Our strategy improves the VoLTE performance simply by prioritizing packets according to Signal to Generating Interference plus Noise Ratio (SGINR) based metric, and at the same time, allocating the ordered packets to Resource Blocks (RBs) in a predefined way, which protects vulnerable users with low uplink received signal strength (RSS) and separates threatening users in each cell into different RBs in an orthogonal manner. Through system level simulation, we demonstrate that our resource allocation scheme outperforms commonly-used frequency reuse-based schemes by increasing the VoIP capacity by up to 20%.

In this paper, we propose an active node selection framework for compressive sleeping wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in order to improve the signal acquisition performance and network lifetime. The node selection can be seen as a specialized sensing matrix design problem where the sensing matrix consists of selected rows of an identity matrix. By capitalizing on a genie-aided reconstruction procedure, we formulate the active node selection problem into an optimization problem, which is then approximated by a constrained convex relaxation plus a rounding scheme. The proposed approach also exploits the partially known signal support, which can be obtained from the previous signal reconstruction. Simulation results show that our proposed active node selection approach leads to an improved reconstruction performance and network lifetime in comparison to various node selection schemes for compressive sleeping WSNs.

In this paper, we study amplify-and-forward dual-hop cooperative relaying protocols in the presence of Rayleigh fading, additive noise at the relay, as well as additive noise and symmetric alpha-stable interference at the destination. A quasi-static interference scenario is considered, which arises, e.g., when the same interferers are active during broadcast and relaying phases. At the destination, a maximal ratio combining demodulator is developed and studied, by assuming that the aggregate interference can be estimated, i.e., interference-aware design. A closed-form expression of the end-to-end moment generating function is provided and the achievable diversity order is studied. Two main results emerge from the paper: 1) if the ratio of the transmit-powers of cooperative and interfering networks is a constant, the diversity order is equal to 1 and 2) if the transmit-power of the interfering network is a constant, the diversity order is equal to 1 + 1/bI, where bI > 1 is the amplitude path-loss exponent. In the latter case, thus, second-order diversity is achieved asymptotically, as the amplitude path-loss exponent tends to one. Mathematical frameworks and findings are validated with the aid of Monte Carlo simulations.
