However, IEEE 802.11 DCF, as the standard for Ad Hoc Networks, is still greatly influenced by hidden and exposed node problems. Lots of researches have been performed to solve them, but only a few of them have addressed the tradeoff between the two problems. This paper tries to balance the two problems by distributed terminal coordination. We will present two MAC schemes that import the concept of congestion control algorithms. A model between carrier sensing range and congestion window size is established. According to the simulation results, it is shown that these schemes can achieve good MAC layer performance in terms of one-hop throughput, fairness and speed of throughput convergence.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"13 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":"131411718","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}

By means of a discontinuous reception (DRX) framework pauses in transmission due to natural traffic characteristics or network prioritization can be utilized. However, the optimum setting of parameters must be provided as a compromise among reaction latency, user throughput, power consumption, and network performance. Using a realistic RF modem power consumption model for the UE, we investigate different algorithms for optimizing the balance among user throughput and power saving using a Web-browsing session as the reference. We show that with proper configuration of the DRX parameters we can optimally achieve a 95% reduction of the UE power consumption with only a moderate and acceptable 10-20% loss of experienced throughput.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"11 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":"127047896","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 approximation follows the exact computation tightly, when the variance of the estimation error is sufficiently smaller than the fading variance. As a result, optimized codes for perfect CSI are also approximately optimized for imperfect CSI.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"23 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":"114486624","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 observe the channel conditions (RSSI in both directions), retries, and various basic metrics to determine their usefulness in certain conditions. We found that RSSI is not a good metric for link quality since it does not correlate with the measured throughput.

In the analysis, the phase feedback information is considered non-ideal due to Nph bit quantization and bit error probability ¿.

We formulate service requests initiated by the applications running on the mobile device as a multiobjective optimization (MOO) problem: optimal mapping of application requirements to wireless interface while minimizing the monetary cost and maximizing the satisfaction with respect to QoS metrics. This problem is then solved for three different access scenarios using an exhaustive search algorithm and the NSGA-II MOO algorithm. Our aim is to demonstrate how MOO works in such a context, nevertheless for real life problems where exhaustive search cannot handle the problem, we expect NSGA-II to be a more appropriate tool. The results obtained by these algorithms are then discussed and their quality is compared to a more traditional cost function based on weighted sum.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"49 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":"115047659","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 proposed IP-OFDM system exploits the impulse postfix, which consists of a high power impulse sample and several zero samples at the end of a OFDM symbol block, to estimate channel impulse response. As shown in , , the IP-OFDM system can achieve the enhanced bit error rate performance compared to that of conventional OFDM systems, but there is an important Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) issue for deciding the amount of impulse power in the IP-OFDM system. In , a statistic-based method was proposed to determine the amount of impulse power for avoiding the PAPR increase. However, the proposed method does not give meaningful intuition for us how the designed impulse power would affect to the performance of practical IP-OFDM systems. In real systems, there is a nonlinear High Power Amplifier (HPA) that may cause significant performance degradation of IP-OFDM by distorting the impulse postfix. Therefore, we propose decision criteria of the power boosting factor for impulse sample in practical IP-OFDM systems. With the proposed decision criteria, the impulse power is designed based on the characteristics of the nonlinear HPA. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed decision criteria for IP-OFDM systems.","PeriodicalId":158650,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"1 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":"128852447","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}
