In many countries, spectrum addition is not an option. Improvement in spectral efficiency is not keeping up with traffic growth. Hence, the only option to add network capacity is to re-use existing spectrum. However, in many large cities, inter-site distances among macro cells are reaching the lower bounds of practical deployment, thereby forcing the industry to explore alternative network architectures. Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) are defined as a mix of multi-technology macro and Small Cells. Small Cells may be used in licensed and/or unlicensed spectrum bands. There are three primary challenges of deploying Small Cells: (1)Where to deploy them so that maximum traffic is captured, (2)How to minimize interference with macro cells and (3)How to minimize deployment costs. This paper discusses a methodology for balancing the three constraints in a real-life network.","PeriodicalId":137948,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 37th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127358654","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 analyze the transient characteristics of the classical susceptible-infected (SI) process with a recovery policy modeled as a state-dependent retrial queueing system in which arriving infected nodes, upon finding all the limited number of recovery units busy, join a virtual buffer and try persistently for service in order to regain susceptibility. In particular, we formulate the stochastic SI epidemic model with added retrial phenomenon as a finite continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) and derive the Laplace transforms of the underlying transient state probability distributions and corresponding moments for a closed population of size N driven by homogeneous and heterogeneous contacts. Our numerical results reveal the strong influence of infection heterogeneity and retrial frequency on the transient behavior of the model for various performance measures.","PeriodicalId":137948,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 37th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"22 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127161376","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}

While current models consider various aspects of the OSA scheme, the impact of retrial phenomenon in multi-channel CRNs has not yet been analyzed. In this work, we present a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) model in which the blocked/preempted secondary users (SUs) enter a finite retrial group (or orbit) and re-attempt independently for service in an exponentially distributed random manner. Taking into account the inherent retrial tendency of SUs, we numerically assess the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of dropping probability and throughput of SUs.","PeriodicalId":137948,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 37th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132610774","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}

We derive expressions for the rate performance of an adaptive link selection-based buffered relay (ALSBR) scheme with peak power and peak interference constraints on the secondary nodes, and compare its performance with that of conventional unbuffered relay (CUBR) and conventional buffered relay (CBR) schemes. Use of buffered relays with adaptive link selection is shown to be particularly advantageous in underlay cognitive radio networks. The insights developed are of significance to system designers since cognitive radio frameworks are being explored for use in 5G systems. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate accuracy of the derived expressions.","PeriodicalId":137948,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 37th Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114074949","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}
