Instead of allowing access to all content objects at base stations (BSs) via costly backhaul, we consider a more practical scenario where mobile nodes and BSs, each having a finite-size cache space, are able to cache a subset of content objects so that each request is served by other mobile nodes or BSs via multihop transmissions. Under the protocol model, we characterize a fundamental throughput-delay trade-off in terms of scaling laws by introducing our content delivery routing protocol and the corresponding optimal caching allocation strategy.","PeriodicalId":198767,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124514177","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}

Although homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) model is widely adopted for its analytical tractability, it cannot be considered a proper model for all experiencing nodes. The Ginibre point process (GPP) is a class of determinantal point processes that has been recently proposed for wireless networks with repulsiveness between nodes. A modified GPP can be considered an intermediate class between the PPP (fully random) and the GPP (relatively regular) that can be derived as limiting cases. In this paper we analyze sampling and reconstruction of finite-energy signals in ℝd when samples are gathered in space according to a determinantal point process whose second order product density function generalizes to ℝd that of a modified GPP in ℝ2. We derive closed form expressions for sampled signal energy spectral density (ESD) and for signal reconstruction mean square error (MSE). Results known in the literature are shown to be sub-cases of the proposed framework. The proposed analysis is also able to answer to the fundamental question: does the higher regularity of GPP also imply an higher signal reconstruction accuracy, according to the intuition? Theoretical results are illustrated through a simple case study.","PeriodicalId":198767,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129852256","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}

A key feature of unequal coherence lengths is that the per-transmission cost of acquiring CSI and its effect on achievable rates may vary significantly among the nodes, thus pre-existing receive CSI on a typical node should not be assumed as it will hide this key feature of the problem. In this paper, the method of product superposition is employed to find the achievable degrees of freedom region of multiuser broadcast channel where the users coherence lengths have arbitrary integer ratios. The achievable degrees of freedom region meets the outer bound when the transmitter has fewer antennas than the receivers, or when all receivers have the same number of antennas, hence for this class of antenna configurations the optimal degrees of freedom is now known.","PeriodicalId":198767,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127211123","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 get close to the lower bound by taking advantage of the signal structure, Lee, et al. proposed the Subspace-Augmented MUltiple SIgnal Classification (SA-MUSIC) method which is guaranteed to achieve the lower bound when the rank of signal matrix is k and provided less restrictive conditions than existing methods in approaching k +1 in the practically important case when the rank of the signal matrix is smaller than k. The conditions, however, are still restrictive despite its empirically superior performance. We propose an efficient algorithm called the Two-stage orthogonal Subspace Matching Pursuit (TSMP) which has less theoretical restriction in approaching the lower bound than existing algorithms. Empirical results show that the TSMP method with low complexity outperforms most existing methods. The proposed scheme has better empirical performance than most existing methods even in the single measurement vectors (SMV) problem case. Variants of restricted isometry property or mutual coherence are used to improve the theoretical guarantees of TSMP and to cover the noisy case as well.","PeriodicalId":198767,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)","volume":"601 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123177449","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}
