In the scenario of placing a smart relay in the network, one can remodel the topology as an instantaneous relay network which is shown to achieve a higher degrees of freedom than the classical cut-set bound. Utilizing interference neutralization scheme - a well applicable technique of canceling interference signals algebraically in the air by choosing relay strategies - we demonstrate a significant improvement in terms of achievable utility region.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124648981","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}

Session keys exchange is considered as a major problem to be resolved in a communication network. When two terminals exchange data through an unsecured public channel, they use cryptography techniques to prohibit a third terminal from intercepting exchanged data. Symmetric cryptography is largely used regarding to the short time needed to execute encryption and decryption compared to asymmetric cryptography. Since the channel is unsecure to data exchange, so it is unsecure to key exchange which should be secure and the key should be changed periodically to assure a high security. Instead of exchanging session keys, we suggest a simple and secure method of key generation in the transmitter and the receiver using self organizing maps. We suggest three methods to use self-organizing maps for secret key generation. The paper shows the ability of the SOM to generate secret keys by two ways: the fake-key and the key index. Also it shows the possibility to add a mask to improve the security of keys transmission.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124650038","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 requirement of prohibitively high sampling rates to monitor a wideband, makes this a challenging task. In this paper, we present a novel wideband spectrum sensing model that reduces the sampling requirement to a sub-Nyquist rate, proportional to the number of occupied channels in the wideband spectrum. The sampling scheme is efficiently implementable using low-rate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The sensing algorithm uses techniques borrowed from theoretical computer science and compressive sampling, to detect the occupied channels with a high probability of success. The algorithm is implementable for spectrum sensing in a single CR, as well as in a decentralized CR-network with minimal communication between one-hop neighbors. We provide theoretical expressions for probability of detection and run-time requirements of the scheme. Our simulations show that the proposed scheme exhibits a performance similar to a Nyquist-rate energy detector, even with low SNR conditions and high under-sampling factors.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130868327","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 relay decodes them using successive interference cancellation (SIC) and sends the superposition of the same codewords multiplied by random dither sequences and with a new power distribution among the codewords. The destination node decodes all code-words by removing the dithering and then applying maximal ratio combining and SIC in the same order used at the relay. We call this scheme the broadcast of repetition coding (BRC). We demonstrate that the achievable rate by the BRC scheme increases as the number of layers of the superposition coding increases and it achieves the capacity bounds of decode-forward when the number of layers grows to infinity. The design task of the BRC scheme is to optimize the power distribution over the added layers. This is obtained by solving first-order differential equations. We propose also a different two-layer scheme based on reverse order of SIC at the destination. This scheme is practical for implementation and achieves close-to-capacity rates. Our proposed schemes provide flexible alternatives to the cooperative coding schemes over relay channels.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114297797","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}

To enable the widespread of femtocells coexisting with macrocells, smart interference management schemes are required. Interference management by frequency allocation is still a big challenge in hybrid macro/femto cellular networks. Arbitrary frequency allocation schemes may have detrimental effects on the overall system spectral efficiency and coverage. In this paper, we propose soft and partial frequency reuse schemes for interference management in LTE femtocell networks. We analyze the system performance with various frequency allocation schemes via different metrics such as throughput, quality of service (QoS) and fairness. Simulation results show that the pro-posed soft frequency reuse (SFR) scheme with an optimized interior region radius provides an acceptable tradeoff compared to other allocation schemes.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132758978","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}

There have already been promising research results on Degradation Detection and Root Cause Diagnosis. However, the complex task of Recovery Selection, i.e., the determination of the best recovery action for an uncertain diagnosis of a degradation considering the operational goals of the network operator, is rarely investigated so far. In this paper, a two-step rational Recovery Selection system and its integration into a self-healing process for mobile networks is presented. Thereby, Recovery Selection first exploits technical recovery knowledge expressed in rules to determine the set of possible recovery actions for a degradation situation. Second, it determines the degree of rationality of these actions based on the operational goals of the operator. Therefore, it draws on decision theory in order to handle the uncertainty in the problem situation and the possibly conflicting preferences of the operator. The presented system enables automatic rational Recovery Selection which provides a baseline for self-healing in mobile networks.","PeriodicalId":167119,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133317556","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 solution maximizing SLNR is obtained by a generalized eigen-decomposition with a pair of covariance matrices of desired signal and leakage plus noise. It is burdensome to calculate directly a generalized eigenvector at each time step in time-varying channels. To reduce the computational complexity in the beam design algorithm, the perturbation theory for a generalized eigenvector without any iteration is used for a simple update formula to obtain a new generalized eigenvector corresponding to the updated channel information.

A second part of this paper is therefore dedicated to a novel SNR prediction method, which is necessary for estimating the local detection probabilities used in the optimization process.
