This paper studies the throughput of spectrum sharing channels utilizing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocols. Considering different HARQ schemes, the unlicensed user throughput is obtained under an outage probability constraint for the licensed user. The outage-limited throughput is obtained for both independent and spatially-correlated fading conditions, where there is spatial dependency between the fading coefficients. The results show that, using HARQ and adaptive power allocation, the maximum throughput is achieved by combination of simultaneous transmission and interference-avoiding spectrum sharing paradigms. The performance of the spectrum sharing networks is not sensitive to spatial correlation, within the practical range, and the throughput changes are negligible at low/moderate correlations. Finally, there is considerable potential for data transmission of the unlicensed user with limited performance degradation of the licensed user.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131976710","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 decentralized multiple access algorithm is used by the secondary pairs to select a proper subchannel. We study the performance of a modified version of the medium access control (MAC) protocol proposed by Elkashlan et al., referred to as the general order selection algorithm. We obtain the statistics of the output signal-to-noise ratio of the algorithm, and the statistics of the achievable capacity per secondary pair.

In contrast to the conventional schemes, we take into account the performance of the secondary user (SU) which acts as the relay. A two-step optimization scheme is proposed to maximize system throughput with minimum rate guarantees for the source and the relay while the interference introduced to the primary user (PU) is kept below a specified threshold. The PA optimization in the first step is non-convex, and hence hard to solve in general. To tackle this, we introduce a power proportionality factor at the relay to decompose the non-convex optimization into two levels. Based on dual method and search method at inner level and outer level respectively, a closed-form solution for the optimal PA between the source and the relay is derived. In order to reduce complexity of repeating the PA procedures at all the relay candidates while maintaining reasonable performance, we also develop a suboptimal approach. Furthermore, simulation results and comparisons are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127391091","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}

Due to the severe and fast varying Doppler shift and phase noise in the underwater acoustic communication channel, much shorter signal length can be used to detection the modulation scheme, leading to less accuracy in the modulation detection performance. Here we propose a brand new method to perform modulation detection: by analyzing the zoomed-in spectral coherence function (SOF) of short time signal, we observe distinctive detailed features for different modulations. Taking advantage of such detailed features in short time SOF, we design a novel blind modulation detection algorithm for underwater acoustic communication system. To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first to employ such detailed, in some sense hidden, features of cyclostationary analysis to conduct modulation detection. Coupled with our previous work on blind carrier frequency estimation and symbol rate estimation algorithms, the proposed modulation detection algorithm enjoys very high detection accuracy, high speed, and low complexity. Real experimental data collected at sea are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. It is also important to note that the proposed method does not assume any a priori knowledge of the target signal.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126091217","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 this paper a distributed full-rate encoding scheme is proposed that will achieve any order of diversity, while maintaining lower complexity. The idea is to adapt an existing code, which is based on a low complexity approach used in conventional Multiple Input Multiple Output systems, to work on an amplify-and-forward relaying network. This will ensure the ability of the system to scale with ease by accommodating any number of relays with minimal overhead. In addition, the method does not require any control-information overhead for the codegeneration coordination process among relay nodes.

These delay-sensitive applications demand for a large bandwidth for transmission over the mobile cellular systems. Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) that supports a wider transmission bandwidth is expected to meet this crucial demand. Packet scheduling is one of the key features as the LTE-A delivers these applications using packet-switching technology. To optimize packet scheduling performance for supporting the GBR applications, this paper adapts a well-known single-carrier Maximum-Largest Weighted Delay First (M-LWDF) algorithm into the multi-carrier downlink LTE-A. Simulation results have demonstrated that the adapted M-LWDF algorithm that performs packet scheduling on each radio resource, takes packet delay and the aggregated average throughput across all component carriers into consideration is more efficient for supporting the delay-sensitive GBR applications in the downlink LTE-A.","PeriodicalId":220393,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124613012","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}

It is shown that both the signal strength and interference quantity greatly depend on the layout of cell sectorization. Specifically, a commonly used one is shown to be inappropriate. It is found that there exists a method of sectorization that causes less interference to cell-center users (CCUs) and meantime offers better signal quality to CEU during network MIMO transmissions.

In this paper, we introduce weighted entropy as a quantitative metric to evaluate the distribution of samples and find that the distribution of data samples is another important factor to the accuracy of sensing result.
