The higher the overall risk of the 5G project, the lower the operators’ willingness to invest in millimetre wave spectrum and vice-versa; i.e. the price of the spectrum should be negatively correlated with the overall project risk. In this paper, we propose an array-based method for estimating financial risks when introducing 5G and its correspondence with spectrum prices. The method is based on Monte Carlo simulations, for deriving an appropriate maximum value for the operator’ willingness to pay for a 5G license.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133256024","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}

Each vehicle in this network senses the energy level of the channel before and during its transmission. The measured energy is compared against a dynamic threshold which is preset based on the target detection probability, transmitter’s power, sensing time and self-interference cancellation (SIC) capability of the vehicles’ on board units (OBU). Probabilities of detection and false alarm, detection threshold before and during transmission, and effect of residual self interference (SI) on these metrics have been formulated. It is shown that the proposed scheme would experience a shorter collision duration. Meanwhile, it also requires a minimum SIC capability for acceptable operation, below which, system throughput would be poor due to high false alarm probability. Numerical simulations verify the accuracy of our analysis. They also illustrate that the proposed model perform better than the fixed threshold strategy. A trade-off between half duplex (HD) and FD has been found and the scheme would be applicable even if SIC capability of OBUs is relatively poor, with no need for complicated and expensive devices for future vehicular communication.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120847430","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}

When individual MEC systems do not have adequate resource capacity to fulfill service requests, forming MEC federations for resource sharing could provide economic incentive to MEC operators. To this end, we need to maximize social welfare in each federation, which involves efficient federation structure generations, federation profit maximization by resource provisioning configuration, and fair profit distribution among participants. We model the problem as a coalition game with difference from prior work in the assumption of latency and locality constraints and also in the consideration of various service policies/demand preferences. Simulation results show that the proposed approach always increases profits. If local requests are served with local resource with priority, federation improves profits without sacrificing request acceptance rates.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123831703","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, since mm-Wave is sensitive to blockage and incurs in a high penetration loss, it has increased complexity and bottleneck in the realization of substantial gain. Network densification, as a solution for sensitivity and blockage, increases handover (HO) rate, unnecessary and ping-pong HO’s, which in turn reduces the throughput of the network. On the other hand, to minimize the effect of increased HO rate, Time to Trigger (TTT) and Hysteresis factor (H) have been used in Long Term Evolution (LTE). In this paper, we primarily present two different networks based on Evolved NodeB (eNB) density: sparse and dense. As their name also suggests, the eNB density in the dense network is higher than the sparse network. Hence, we proposed an optimal eNB selection mechanism for 5G intra-mobility HO based on spatial information of the sparse eNB network. In this approach, User Equipment (UE) in the dense network is connected only to a few selected eNBs, which are delivered from the sparse network, in the first place. HO event occurs only when the serving eNB can no longer satisfy the minimum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) threshold. For the eNBs, which are deployed in the dense network, follow the conventional HO procedure. Results reveal that the HO rate is decreased significantly with the proposed approach for the TTT values between 0 ms to 256 ms while keeping the radio link failure (RLF) at an acceptable level; less than 2% for the TTT values between 0 ms to 160 ms. This study paves a way for HO management in the future 5G network.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126158918","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}

Based on a recently introduced two-stage beamforming framework, termed as joint spatial division and multiplexing (JSDM), we propose a generalized JSDM approach to deal with the practical issue that the user’s channel usually has multiple scattering clusters for mobile broadband which may incur significant performance degradation with original JSDM. In particular, we propose a new feedback approach where the users feed back additional channel measurements, referred to as inter-group channel state information (CSI) feedback. To utilize the inter-group CSI, we first provide the joint group precoding (JGP) approaches, then propose a novel virtual user based low-complexity per-group precoding (PGP) method with interference avoidance. Finally, we explore a general PGP approach with power allocations for interference management.

In multiple caches systems, a global caching gain can be obtained by coded caching during the cache placement stage between the content originator and cache routers. Additionally, the use of a distributed, simultaneous transmission technique enabled and dynamic context supported protocol can provide extra performance gains. In this paper, we propose a Cache Migration Protocol (CMP) to support the dynamic simultaneous transmission during the content delivery stage between cache routers and consumers in a distributed manner. The design of CMP is evaluated via simulations using OPNET. The simulations show that CMP is able to select appropriate nodes for supporting simultaneous transmissions when the network context is changed. Meanwhile, it is demonstrated that CMP outperforms the traditional ICN content delivery method Named Data Networking (NDN) in terms of reduced number of transmissions, the average end-to-end delay and average throughput.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123119095","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}

The backhaul bandwidth saved by caching and transcoding is regarded as the system gains and the system resources (eg., cache resources, transcoding resources) consumed are as cost so as to use limited system resources to bring greater benefits to the system.

Elaborating on a previous stochastic geometry model, we consider a SINR decoding threshold that depends on the transmission rate, and analyse the interplay between interference and noise power to find the optimal transmission rate. Results reveal important design insights, showing that: i) the optimal rate relates to other system parameters in a rather complex manner but can be expressed by a single equation and is solvable via numeric evaluation; ii) in the interference-limited region, the optimal rate depends only on the bandwidth and the path-loss exponent; iii) this optimal rate yields close-to-optimal throughput also in the noise-limited region for standard values of the path loss coefficient; iv) using the optimal rate can significantly improve network throughput compared to the use of near-optimal rates.","PeriodicalId":121352,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshop (WCNCW)","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121238332","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}
