The target is the competitive maximization of each access rate in presence of multiple-access interference (MAI) induced by the other accessing terminals. Being the radios cognitive, they are capable to autonomously learn the ambient-context and, then, self-configure their access strategy via suitable power-allocation, that is, time-frequency-code-space signal-shaping. Furthermore, a generalized approach is developed to allow the node to access with a (possibly hybrid) scheme to the medium by combining different x-DMA strategies under QoS-guaranteed access policy.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116204856","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 cross-layer approach for the allocation of transmission power is based on individual sensor detection quality as well as location information. It leads to significant performance gains compared to uniform power assignment for both the parallel and the serial sensor network topology.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123714799","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 consider the case when users multihome, i.e., split their traffic among all available APs, based on the long-term channel characteristics such as burstiness and packet error rate. This type of operation requires a new multi-access control (MAC) protocol, where the user has to decide to which AP the packet is forwarded. In this paper we propose a new MAC protocol for multihomed users and the selection of the AP for each packet is performed in our proposed MAC protocol based on the most recent channel observation and the collected long-term statistics, where the aim is to maximize the probability of successful transmission of each packet. The proposed MAC protocol is analyzed using Qualnet network simulator, and it is shown that our proposed protocol can improve the efficiency of the system significantly compared to the standard 802.11 protocol where each user is associated with the AP that has the maximum received signal strength.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114832908","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}

Using the Gauss-Hermite quadrature integration, the average SER is expressed in the form of the Appell hypergeometric function. Applying the series representation of the Appell hypergeometric function, we derive a very tight approximation for the average SER. We also perform Monte-Carlo simulations to validate our analysis.

In this application scenario, a still open basic question concerns the closed-form design of scheduling policies minimizing the average transfer-delay under constraints on both average and peak energies. The resulting optimal scheduler allocates step-by-step energy and rate on the basis of both current queue and channel states. We prove that, under the considered energy constraints, the scheduler retains two optimality properties. First, its stability region is the maximal admissible one. Second, the scheduler also minimizes the unconditional average queue-length (e.g., the queue-length averaged over both queue and channel state statistics).","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114318267","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 network coverage is continuous, but radio conditions met by users are not homogeneous. Thus, data rate is varying according to user mobility. In this paper, we propose to discriminate terminals by their radio conditions in order to select which data has to be sent. More precisely, terminals are supplied with data only when they are in zones of the cellular network offering good radio quality. With such an approach, continuous cellular networks are exploited in a logical discontinuous way. Our approach is based on a smart scheduling solution that favours data transfer when users have a good radio link. Simulation results highlights the improvements with a QoS policy guided by radio conditions for streaming services. Results are promising, a cache-based architecture contributes to a good service quality with no interruption. Furthermore, simulations show that this approach can increase significantly users density supported by the network.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122152452","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 WAW (\"Where Are We?\") location- based services, users want to be aware, not only, of their own position but also the position of the other elements on their group. If this information is available in real-time, this kind of service can be used to support coordinated positioning operations. This paper presents an algorithm for the estimation of a user's position, based on measurements from a group of mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Receivers are assumed to have some common satellites in view, but measurements from all the satellites are used in the estimation process. Instead of estimating the user's position on an autonomous way, based only on the measurements of his own receiver, the proposed approach takes advantage from all the GPS measurements available in this kind of location-based service. None of the GPS receivers, used in the estimation process, is considered to be fixed or known. The approach leads to an improvement in the user's position accuracy and can particularly benefit those with a more restricted view of the satellite constellation. As such, the methodology, here presented, can be applied with advantage in the deployment of WAW location-based services in urban environments, more prone to the canyon effect. The paper describes in detail the positioning model and estimator used to achieve the accuracy improvements. Simulation results are presented based on real GPS satellite ephemeris, collected at the university campus.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129129951","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}
