System-level simulations are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed scheme with the agreed LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system parameters. The results suggest the proposed scheme is a promising candidate for improving both the cell-edge user throughput and average cell throughput, and furthermore for fulfilling the IMT-Advanced (IMT-A) requirements.","PeriodicalId":118872,"journal":{"name":"2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117304969","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}

In this article, we develop a statistical framework to model the outage probability at any arbitrary primary/licensed user, while operating in the presence of a collocated secondary network/CRN. A system model based on stochastic geometry (utilizing the theory of a Poisson point process) is introduced to model the transmission/reception/detection uncertainty due to the random locations and topology of both primary and secondary users. The primary beacon enabled interweave spectrum sharing model is utilized for evaluating outage and interference at a typical primary receiver. It is shown that the self-coexistence constraint ignored in past studies plays a vital role in the determination of outage and interference. A statistical model for interference is developed to incorporate the self-coexistence constraint in terms of medium access probability (MAP). Our study also indicates that under the availability of multiple channels/sub-channels, outage probability also depends on the probability of picking the same channel. Optimal selection of MAP and channel selection probability is briefly discussed. Our analytical and simulation results further consolidate the argument that past studies which do not cater for the self-coexistence constraint, over-estimate the interference.","PeriodicalId":118872,"journal":{"name":"2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126225466","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}

However, for cooperative networks where relays employ the decode-and- forward (DF) method to send information, it cannot achieve full diversity unless each relay knows whether it decodes correctly or not. Moreover, the criterion used to select the best relay is not optimal since it does not minimize error probability. In this paper, we develop a distributed relay selection method for DF cooperative networks, that uses an error-probability minimizing criterion to select relay and can achieve full diversity without requiring the relay to know whether it decodes correctly. Moreover, we also develop a hybrid cooperative protocol that not only selects the best relay using an error-probability minimizing criterion but also chooses a better relaying method from DF and amplify-and-forward (AF). Our simulations show that our both protocols can achieve full diversity and outperform the protocol developed by Bletsas et. al.. Furthermore, our hybrid protocol offers better performance than the error-probability- minimizing DF protocol. 1","PeriodicalId":118872,"journal":{"name":"2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"3346 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127498764","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}

This paper will briefly review the principles of vectoring and the underlying precoding and channel estimation techniques. This framework is then used to introduce mechanisms for crosstalk channel estimation that exploit channel smoothness with the aid of frequency-dependent pilot sequences, as well as mechanisms that allow fast and simultaneous initialization by targeted assignment of pilot sequences. A pilot-based technique is described that exploits the robustness of the synchronization symbols to estimate crosstalk emanating from “legacy” VDSL2 lines within a vectoring group. This allows cancellation of crosstalk from legacy lines without replacement of the installed VDSL2 customer premises equipment. Some of these techniques are compatible with the current version of ITU-T G.993.5 recommendation, while others require changes that are under consideration for possible inclusion in future amendments.","PeriodicalId":118872,"journal":{"name":"2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131853247","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}

In this paper we derive a concentration of measure bound for block diagonal matrices where the nonzero entries along the main diagonal are a single repeated block of i.i.d. Gaussian random variables. Our main result states that the concentration exponent, in the best case, scales as that for a fully dense matrix. We also identify the role that the signal diversity plays in distinguishing the best and worst cases.

In particular, it is important to design the system to provide good user throughput in most of the coverage area, including at the cell edge. Soft fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is one of the techniques for mitigating inter-cell interference in cellular systems, leading to overall spectral efficiency enhancements and/or cell edge throughput improvements. We propose a novel algorithm that dynamically creates efficient soft FFR patterns on the uplink of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based cellular systems; this allows the system to “automatically” adapt to user traffic distribution and system layout. Our algorithm is based on systematically ascending towards a local maximum of the system-wide sum of user utilities, which depend on user throughputs. We show that this can be done in a semi-autonomous fashion: each sector does its resource allocation independently, with only an infrequent periodic exchange of interference costs between neighboring sectors. The proposed algorithm, called Multi-sector Gradient for Uplink (MGR-UL), allocates in-sector resources (power, frequency, time-slots to each user) in a way that simultaneously takes into account both the benefit to its “own” users' utility and the cost of creating interference to neighboring sectors; along with that each sector estimates the cost of interference to itself. Extensive simulation results show that significant performance benefits (up to 69% in total throughput in some typical scenarios) can be achieved with respect to a baseline approach. Simulations also show the automatic formation of soft FFR patterns.","PeriodicalId":118872,"journal":{"name":"2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134261664","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}
