In particular, we derive novel analytical expressions for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC) and a lower bound on secrecy outage probability (SOPL) for independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) channel coefficients. These results have been validated through simulations and reduction to known special cases. These new, very general formulations, are important as they bring together previously non-unified secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probabilities (SOP) such as those involving α-μ, Nakagami-m, Rayleigh, OneSided Gaussian, Weibull, Negative Exponential with κ-μ and Rice. Additionally, due to the duality of analysis of secrecy capacity and co-channel interference (CCI), the results presented here will also have immediate applicability in the analysis of outage probability in wireless systems affected by CCI and background noise for the aforementioned fading scenarios.","PeriodicalId":137845,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 27th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121694838","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}

OFDM-OQAM is found to be the most suitable multicarrier technique that can be applied to underwater acoustic communications as it achieves maximum bandwidth efficiency and provides a higher bit rate than its OFDM counterpart due to the absence of a cyclic prefix (CP).

The system consists of base stations (BSs) that can optimize uplink frequency allocation to their user equipments (UEs) to minimize impact of interference on the useful signal, assuming no control over band allocation of other BSs sharing the same bands. To this end, “good neighbor” (GN) rules allow effective trade off between the equilibrium and transient decentralized DSA behavior if the performance targets are adequate to the interference scenario. In this paper, we extend the GN rules by including a spectrum occupation control that allows adaptive selection of the performance targets corresponding to the potentially “interference free” DSA; define the semi-analytic absorbing Markov chain model for the GN DSA with occupation control and study the convergence properties including effects of possible breaks of the GN rules; and for higher-dimension networks, develop the simplified search GN algorithms with occupation and power control (PC) and demonstrate their efficiency by means of simulations in the scenario with unlimited requested network occupation.","PeriodicalId":137845,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 27th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134111211","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}

These have ramifications on SON aspects of the networks. We discuss several new SON use-cases and problems pertinent to emerging 5G technologies. The discussed 5G SON use-cases include spectrum management and sharing, user association, multi-radio access technology (RAT) optimization, and directional cell search for mmW networks. We then investigate directional cell search in detail, and consider a network graph based approach for self-organized beam assignment in mmW 5G networks.

Although prominently used for its high data rates and unlicensed frequency band of operation, WiFi's contention based medium access does not guarantee that a user's quality of service will necessarily be met, especially if mobile devices simply ‘offload’ to WiFi in preference to cellular. A network selection algorithm offers a way to enhance user experience, by always selecting the best radio access network for the user. In the literature, several techniques have been applied to the network selection problem. While most proposals aim to optimise quality of service for the user, the impact on resource utilisation for the networks is often neglected. This work proposes a network selection algorithm which attempts to find a good trade-off between user quality of service and efficient resource utilisation and elaborates on its performance evaluation through a simulation based study. Findings indicate that the proposed algorithm is able to provide enhanced QoS to the user as compared to conventional algorithms in terms of achieving higher throughput, lower delay as well as a higher overall system performance.","PeriodicalId":137845,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 27th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781189","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}

Impacts due to half- and full-duplex operation at relay nodes are studied together with resource allocation. No retransmissions are considered and the relaying schemes are limited to two hops to meet the low latency constraint. Performance evaluations in a factory scenario are shown.
