As a result, 3GPP is currently investigating possible scenarios for device-to-device (D2D) offloading in LTE networks. However, it remains unclear what kinds of gains can be expected from in-band D2D solutions. By comparison, the already available WiFi Direct D2D technology enables offloading onto unlicensed bands at data rates generally higher than infrastructure cellular links. In this paper1, we study the performance of WiFi Direct as a prominent technology for D2D communications in urban environments. We also discuss some of the potential performance gains for WiFi Direct communications in the presence of 3GPP LTE network-level management. Our extensive simulation study of LTE traffic offloading onto WiFi Direct covers a range of D2D loads and interference levels. We focus on the case where the D2D overlay network is assisted by the cellular infrastructure network; or more specifically, where the cellular network supplies its clients with service discovery information to facilitate the establishment of D2D sessions.","PeriodicalId":112418,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131223934","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}

While previous DTN-based testbeds experimented with bandwidth capacity in megabits, this paper presents a channel emulation testbed that supports multiple gigabit-bandwidth Ethernet clients and servers simultaneously. In addition to capacity, this testbed modeled optical link properties with channel emulation, and provided high flexibility by utilizing virtual LANs and link aggregation connected through a gigabit switch. The testbed emulated propagation delay, asynchronous channel rates, and bit errors, including free-space optical bit errors that varied as a function of time. We emulated an optical flight terminal relaying data between ground stations, and measured the maximum goodput of various DTN configurations while increasing the relay's round trip times. Results showed that for a 200 ms to one second round trip time, BP/TCPCL/TCP transmitted higher goodput than BP/LTP/UDP, and TCP/IP. For round trip times longer than one second, BP/LTP/UDP transmitted higher goodput than BP/TCPCL/TCP, and TCP/IP.","PeriodicalId":112418,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"5 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113999508","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}

According to the locations and neighbors' slots, nodes competition slots in corresponding time slot sets. The simulation experiments show that the DATS has higher successful assignment ratio and lower delay than several existing protocols.

Both massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and small cell network (SCN) are expected to achieve high EE for high throughput cellular networks, though using different mechanisms. Massive MIMO improves EE by exploiting a large array gain, while SCN improves EE by deploying a large number of low-power base stations (BSs) to reduce the propagation loss and increase the opportunity of BS sleep. In this paper, we compare the EEs as well as the SEs of Massive MIMO and SCN. For a fair comparison, we consider a multi-cell network with the same user density, antenna density and average cell-edge signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). Perfect channel information is assumed, and three BS sleep strategies are considered. Our analysis shows that the EE of SCN increases with the cell size shrinking, and the achievable SEs of SCN and Massive MIMO increase with the cell-edge SNR. When the number of cells is large, SCN is always more energy efficient than Massive MIMO. On the other hand, when the number of cells is small, Massive MIMO achieves higher EE than SCN when the circuit power consumptions of Massive MIMO are much lower than SCN.","PeriodicalId":112418,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130337008","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}

Furthermore, the precoding design for DNF-NC is studied to minimize the total mean square error (MSE). To ensure the relay denoising performance, two necessary conditions are presented first, and then the general optimal precoding matrices can be obtained by solving two convex problems independently. Moreover, a channel diagonalization scheme with power allocation is introduced, and the closed-form solution for high SNR region is also derived. Compared with the optimized amplify-and-forward network coding (AF-NC) scheme, DNF-NC has much lower computational complexity, and the simulation results show that it can achieve better BER performance than AF-NC in high SNR region.","PeriodicalId":112418,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131025359","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}

Meanwhile network coding has been proven as a very promising technique to improve wireless network throughput and energy-efficiency (EE). In multi-rate wireless networks, simply seeking more coding opportunities or coding more packets into one frame without exploiting multi-rate feature may lead to selecting low-rate links for transmission, and thus compromise the performance gain and EE brought by network coding. In this paper, we aim at exploiting the potential benefits brought by both multi-rate and network coding. We carefully address the bottleneck problem in applying energy-efficient network coding to multi-rate networks, and propose an energy-efficient COPE-like network coding scheme, which is called eCOPE and employs the energy-efficient Rate Adaptation(eRA) and Power Allocation(ePA) algorithm. Simulation experiments results based on NS-2 demonstrate that eCOPE can significantly improve network performances in terms of both throughput and end-to-end delay in 802.11 DCF multirate environment, at a relatively low cost of signaling overhead.","PeriodicalId":112418,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121942198","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}
