Previous work on multi-antenna relays either assumes that only one relay available in the network without benefiting from relay cooperation or all relays are used to assist the source transmission resulting extensive loss of spectral efficiency and high burden to the diversity combiner. For multi-relay cooperative networks, adaptive incremental relaying (IR) is considered in this paper as the cooperative strategy for multiple fixed relays performing uncoded decode-and-forward (DF). Unlike previous work on adaptive IR, relays employ multiple antennas to enhance the received signal quality. Then a small number out of all available relays are used instead of them. In determining whether the rest of relays are needed, two kinds of mechanisms are considered, namely decoding and threshold test that characterize different operational complexity at the destination. For both cases, we derive closed-form expressions of the average outage probability over Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of adaptive IR in the context of multi-antenna relays.","PeriodicalId":154082,"journal":{"name":"2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126589612","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}

It can effectively solve the interference problem encountered in cell edges. To conduct the processing, however, base stations need to exchange users' informations, yielding a communication overhead for the backhaul. This paper considers inter-site uplink CoMP processing for multi-input-multi-output orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. We first propose using the turbo equalization technique to improve the performance. In our scheme, the receiver consists of a soft MIMO equalizer and a soft channel decoder. The iteration is conducted between the equalizer and the decoder. With the inclusion of the exchanged informations in the iteration, the performance of the turbo equalization can be further improved. We then propose various exchanging strategies and find a good trade-off between performance gain and the required overhead. Compared with the optimum scheme, the proposed strategies can reduce the overhead significantly while the performance loss is small.","PeriodicalId":154082,"journal":{"name":"2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130158269","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 percentile of processing time characterizes a threshold processing time so that a certain percentage of requests can be served in under the threshold value. Relationship between the task failure rate and percentile of processing time is studied through a numerical example.

Available capacity studies focus on exploring either the order sense capacity scaling laws, the closed-form capacity under some specific routing protocols, or the exact capacity without careful consideration of wireless interference issue in MANETs. In this paper, we explore the exact network capacity for a class of MANETs, where the group-based scheduling is adopted to schedule simultaneous link transmissions. We first determine a general closed-form capacity upper bound for the considered MANETs, which holds for any possible routing protocols in such networks. We then show that for any traffic input rate within the upper bound, there exists a corresponding two-hop relay algorithm to stabilize the network, which proves that the upper bound we determined is the exact capacity for this class of MANETs. Finally, simulation studies are presented to validate our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":154082,"journal":{"name":"2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"22 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126769245","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}

Previous works propose to protect FiWi against segment failure by deploying backup fibers among different segments. However, these works consider only single segment failure. Also, they underutilize the capacity of backup fibers and thus require huge cost of backup fibers. To conquer these challenges, we propose an efficient protection scheme called Ring-based Protection considering Multiple Failures (RPMF) in this paper. In RPMF, we build the protection rings by deploying backup fibers among the segments, aiming at the survivable FiWi against multiple failures with the minimum cost of backup fibers. Simulation results demonstrate that our RPMF outperforms the previous works significantly in terms of cost saving and survivability enhancement.","PeriodicalId":154082,"journal":{"name":"2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123923823","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, the random deployments of these autonomous devices has complicated the current network topology and thus will lead to intensified interference to the in-use macrocell networks. In this paper, we propose a Stackelberg game (SG)-based power control scheme to impose regulation on these noncooperative femtocells. Specifically, a network power controller (NPC) is assumed as the leader of the SG and the femtocells it connects to play as the followers. By pricing for the femtocells power consumption, the NPC tries to minimize the transmit power of the femtocell network under both the quality of service (QoS) constrains at femtocell terminals and the sum interference constrain at the macrocell terminals. We prove that an unique Stackelberg equilibrium (SE) exists in this game and a distributed algorithm that converges to the SE is further proposed. Numerical results show that besides the fast convergence property, our algorithm greatly reduces the transmit power of femtocells and therefore, improves the power efficiency of the femtocell network as much as 10 times, compared with that of the pure non-cooperative game scheme.","PeriodicalId":154082,"journal":{"name":"2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123418270","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 investigate distributed routing in cognitive radio networks based on the location information of the primary users. The main idea is to navigate the routing path to avoid large interference to the primary users. We introduce a novel concept of guide strip as the navigation direction for routing. This guide strip is determined based on the visibility graph, which ensures a short packet travel distance, while the width of the guide strip is selected to guarantee a predefined successful routing probability.
