In this scene, macro-users (MUEs) are distributed in clusters and pico-cells are separated from MUEs. There exists the inter-tier interference and it is hard to implement interference coordination since the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) between macro-base station (MBS) and pico-users (PUEs) is hard to obtain. In this circumstance, we propose a two-tier precoding method based on the statistical CSI between MBS and pico-base station (PBS) with the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to form deeper nulling for pico-cells close to MBS. In our method, the outer precoder is designed to mitigate the inter-cluster and the inter-tier interference, and the inner precoder aims to suppress the intra-cluster interference. Simulation results show that our statistical CSI based on the MMSE precoding scheme could mitigate the inter-tier interference efficiently in channels with small spatial angular spread. The proposed method could achieve better throughput than other precoding methods for PUEs close to MBS.","PeriodicalId":125877,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127534851","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, the optimal method for power allocation between training and data transmission, which is based on BER, is obtained under the total system transmitting power constraints. Numerical results show that the power allocation ratio sets to be 0.5 approximately is optimal. Moreover, the proposed LLR detector outperforms the conventional system without the consideration of channel estimation error.

For years, however, most networks have been designed, deployed and managed as IP-based systems. It is necessary to introduce SDN in IP backbones to construct SDN/IP hybrid space information network. In this paper, we design and implement a new architecture of the SDN/IP hybrid space information network. It helps to achieve a collaborative management between the IP network and the SDN network through the model. So, in space information network, we can use traditional IP-based system in ground internet and use centralized SDN in satellite network. By combining Quagga and SDN controller, the entire flexible centralized SDN network is abstracted as a traditional distributed control IP router. Thus, the SDN controller can get routing tables from Quagga and forward routing protocol packets over the network. At the same time, other IP subnet can be aware of the existing SDN subnet, and its location. We designed our SDN/IP hybrid network prototype combining the POX as the controller and the Mininet for topology construction, all with OpenFlow 1.0 support. And results show that we achieve the interconnection between SDN and IP subnets efficiently.","PeriodicalId":125877,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"254 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124183857","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 motivation for this work is to make the satellite multicast system scalable under different packet loss rates with reliability ensured and throughput maintained. Current multicast protocols mainly study the terrestrial communications. They often use packet-based NACK messages to request retransmissions of lost packets, but the feedback overhead scales up sharply when the packet loss rate is large. Other schemes that proactively multicast FEC packets results in unfair redundancy among the receivers with different packet loss rates. We propose a Raptor-based file delivery protocol for satellite-CDNs (RFDPS). The novelty lies in that RFDPS is a joint FEC and feedback protocol, and supports block-based feedback and cooperative transmissions both through satellite multicast and terrestrial unicast. We analyze the retransmission strategy when considering the delivery cost, and propose a simplified method to estimate the optimal number of multicast packet for the retransmission strategy. The prototype of RFDPS is designed, and is evaluated on the OPNET platform in terms of throughput and feedback overhead. Simulation results show the significant performance gain of the proposed protocol. And our simplified estimation method is verified to be effective.","PeriodicalId":125877,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122846416","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}

As the number of antennas of the base station (BS) increases, downlink channel quantization for frequency division duplex (FDD) based systems becomes difficult, and most of the works on massive MIMO assume time division duplexing (TDD) to sidestep these challenges by employing channel reciprocity. In this paper, we propose to apply the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) of the MIMO channel matrix and design a new limited feedback and precoding scheme, which aims at solving the problem of high dimensionality led by large antenna array. The proposed scheme can reduce the complexity of channel quantization, the number of bits for feedback and the computational complexity of precoding matrix.
