SG applications enable electrical devices to be interconnected and communicate with each other, requiring pervasive control of these actors. Therefore, wireless sensor network-based applications are well suited to this requirement. This paper proposes an energy-efficient neighbor discovery protocol for 6LoWPAN SG applications. We discuss some practical challenges and difficulties in applying block designs to 6LoWPAN neighbor discovery problems and provide a new solution to the discovery problem derived from the original block designs. In this proposed approach, we design a new construction mechanism of neighbor discovery schedules and provide a mathematical proof of the proposed concept. A key aspect of the proposed protocol is that it combines any two block designs in order to overcome limitations of the original block designs. In the simulation study, we evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol and compare its performance with that of existing representative neighbor discovery protocols using TOSSIM. The results of our simulation study show that the maximum latency of the proposed protocol is about 40% lower than that of existing protocols. Furthermore, our protocol spends approximately 30% less energy than existing protocols during the neighbor discovery process.","PeriodicalId":123586,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122487478","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}

Although many upper-layer protocols have been designed for D2D communications, these work did not consider the specific characteristics of D2D channels, such as low antenna height and dual mobility, due to the lack of adequate D2D channel models. To promote research on these aspects, in this paper, different geometry-based stochastic models (GBSMs) are evaluated to facilitate channel-oriented D2D communication system design and optimization. Firstly, based on the specific characteristics of D2D channels, different GBSMs are introduced for D2D channels, their spatial correlation and Doppler properties are analyzed. Next, the space-time-frequency characteristics metrics including spatial cross-correlation function and Doppler power spectral density are used to evaluate the different channel models with different scenarios. Simulation results show that GBSMs can be easily modified to adapt different D2D communication scenarios, and the application of GBSMs have enormous relationship with D2D communication scenarios.","PeriodicalId":123586,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122606742","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}

Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission/reception and multiinput single-output (MISO) are two technologies which can achieve higher energy efficiency in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) compared to conventional single-input single-out (SISO) systems. CoMP improves energy efficiency by joint transmission among cooperative base stations (BSs) while MISO achieves this by maximal ratio transmission (MRT) beamforming. In this paper, we use a stochastic geometry approach to analyze and compare the energy efficiency of CoMP and MISO in HetNets. First we derive an exact theoretical expression for the network coverage probability of MISO which is validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Then energy efficiency of a two-tier HetNet with CoMP and MISO is analyzed respectively and compared. Numerical results show that the energy efficiency of MISO rises with increasing number of antennas. The achievable energy efficiency of both CoMP and MISO is related closely to the density ratio between Pico BS (PBS) and Macro BS (MBS). When the density ratio is lower than a critical value, MISO is more energy efficient than CoMP; while CoMP outperforms MISO when the density ratio goes beyond the critical value. The exact critical value varies with the number of the antennas used in MISO.","PeriodicalId":123586,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126717220","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 performance of LTE-U is studied via a detailed system level simulator implementation and 3GPP simulation test scenarios.

However, in general case, the subject of a triple is regarded as Row Key in the table. In some queries, finding matched triple patterns is a time-consuming job.

This mode combines communication technologies that enable the 802.11ac protocol to use spectrum more efficiently compared to the previous standards. However, VHT MU-MIMO wastes an unused part of the Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) interval when short and long data streams are grouped together. In this paper, we propose a solution that improves VHT MUMIMO communications by reducing wasted portion of the PPDU duration of short data streams by concatenating longer data streams in consecutive groups.

In particular, we show that the spectrum occupancy metrics exhibit significant degree of stationarity in all the measurement locations and in all of the frequency bands studied. We also characterize in detail the influence of the diurnal cycle, i.e., the differences in spectrum use during different times of day.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of how we can optimally associate a user with delayed traffic to a nearby offloading zone, i.e., to which nearby offloading zone a user with delayed traffic should be associated. Towards that, we propose an adaptive scheme for offloading zone association, including a weighted proportional fairness (WPF) online algorithm for optimal zone selection. The proposed scheme is a network-based, which maximizes the total system offloading and the users offloading experiences (OFEs). To efficiently implement the proposed scheme, we also suggest a cloud cooperated heterogeneous network (CC-HetNet) to hold the delayed offloading process in a cloud cooperated manner. In this CC-HetNet, the offloading zones and the Macro Base station (BS) are linked to the Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) using high speed backhaul links. The proposed scheme of offloading zone association will be implemented in the C-RAN as an enhanced Access Network Discovery and Selection Function for delayed offloading networks.","PeriodicalId":123586,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Workshops (WCNCW)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125089869","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}
