In a cooperative DL communication, multi-user interference (MUI) at the relays precludes the achievement of the relay diversity. In this correspondence, the DL MUI at the relays is suppressed by invoking the transmitter preprocessing (TP) at the base station (BS). Further, the inter-relay interference (IRI) at the destination mobile station (DMS) is suppressed with the aid of preprocessing operated at the relays. Specifically, the preprocessing operated at the BS is based on constructing a subspace that is orthogonal to the interfering subspace, while that operated at the relays relies on the transmit minimum mean square error approach. Our study shows that TP assists in achieving the diversity gain by efficiently removing the DL MUI and IRI at the relays and the DMSs, respectively.","PeriodicalId":154328,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122658874","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}

Accordingly, the analysis function is also formed to adapt to dynamic increments of data. Besides, this system can be easily extended with different modules.

This issue raises several, not only technical challenges that are addressed differently depending on the legacy of operators. This paper conducts a holistic comparison of two interconnection models used for global Internet Protocol (IP) service delivery: Internet Service Provider (ISP) interconnections in an unmanaged, public model and Mobile Network Operator (MNO) interconnections in a managed, closed model. To lay out technical and business interfaces of these models, Value Network Configurations (VNCs) are utilized and the key characteristics of each model are analysed from technical, economic and regulatory perspectives. The comparison shows that these two models do not employ broadly divergent approaches to accomplish a global reach, as one could assume. However, fundamental differences and how these features induce each model to evolve in their own trajectories cannot be omitted either. By comparing the existing models that represent two different worlds, the current drawbacks can be addressed, and thus future implications of emerging models, such as IP eXchange (IPX), can be rationally anticipated.","PeriodicalId":154328,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131522539","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}

Assuming that the macrocell base station (MBS) protects itself by pricing the interference from femtocell users (FU), a Stackelberg game is formulated with a goal to reach the joint utility maximization of the macrocell and the femtocells subject to a maximum tolerable interference power at the MBS. The Nash Equilibrium (NE) of its non-cooperative subgame is found with optimization theory firstly, and then a particle swarm optimization (PSO) aided power allocation (PSO-PA) algorithm is proposed to achieve the final Stackelberg Equilibrium (SE).

Moreover, at the receiver the constellation rotation caused by CPE could be effectively cancelled, by reversing the phase of one component which can make the direction of constellation rotation of two components opposite and equal, and then multiplying the two components.

An Infrastructure based IEEE802.11b WLAN system having networked computers on which measurement software were installed, was set up consecutively in various environments (open corridor, small offices with block walls and plaster boards and free space). Empirical models describing the TCPupT against SNR for different signals ranges (all ranges of signals, strong signals only, grey signals only and weak signals only) were statistically generated and validated. Our results show a strong dependence of TCPupT on the received SNR which varied as the SNR values changed from high (strong signals) through low (grey signals) to very low (weak signals). Our models showed lower RMS errors when compared with other similar models. We observed RMS errors of 0.5431955Mbps, 0.447938789Mbps, 1.04536603Mbps and 0.4503096Mbps for all SNR model, strong signals model, Grey signals model and Weak signals model respectively.

And high-speed video transmission can be achieved with the application of MIMO-OFDM technologies. But the conventional digital video transmission in MIMO has to degrade performances of all the antennas to be the same as the antenna with the worst channel gain. Based on H.264/AVC and ParCast, a hybrid digital-analog scheme which transmits the residuals of H.264/AVC in MIMO to further improve video performance is proposed. With effective design of H.264/AVC compression ratio and FEC code rate, appropriate power is assigned to the digital part to guarantee the digital signal can be decoded accurately. Besides, the proposed power allocation algorithm balances the noise interferences of digital signal in different antennas, minimizes the analog errors and maximizes the analog gains. Simulations show that almost perfect video performance can be achieved when videos are transmitted over MIMO-OFDM channels with various SNRs, and our scheme outperforms the ParCast scheme by no less than 8dB.","PeriodicalId":154328,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"24 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126156035","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}

This channel model is different from the classical wiretap channel model as the unauthorized receiver (Eve) must be able to decode some part of the information. Hence, the reliability and security targets are different from those of the wiretap channel. In order to design and assess practical coding schemes, we use the error rate as a metric of the performance achieved by the authorized receiver (Bob) and the unauthorized receiver (Eve). We study the system feasibility, and show that two different levels of protection against noise are required on the public and the secret messages. This can be achieved in two ways: i) by using LDPC codes with unequal error protection (UEP) of the transmitted information bits or ii) by using two classical non-UEP LDPC codes with different rates. We compare these two approaches and show that, for the considered examples, the solution exploiting UEP LDPC codes is more efficient than that using non-UEP LDPC codes.","PeriodicalId":154328,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132135754","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 is to apply molecular-based communications to challenging electromagnetic environments. We first derive a novel capture probability expression of a finite sized receiver. The paper then introduces the concept of time-aggregated molecular noise at the receiver as a function of the rate at which the sensor can self-cleanse. The resulting inter-symbol-interference is expressed as a function of the sensor cleanse time, and the performance metrics of bit error rate, throughput and round-trip-time are derived. The results show that the performance is very sensitive to the sensor cleanse time and the drift velocity.
