The schemes are mainly based on the switch-and-examine diversity combining (SEC) and SEC with post-examine selection (SECps) techniques in which a relay whose second hop signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) satisfies a predetermined switching threshold is selected instead of the best relay to forward the source message to destination. In this paper, we first derive the probability density function (PDF) of the SNR of the relay selection scheme and the conditional cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the end-to-end (e2e) signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) assuming Rayleigh fading channels. The derived statistics along with the statistics of first hop channels of the relays and the direct link are then used to derive a closed-form expression for the e2e outage probability. We assume that maximal-ratio combining (MRC) is used at the destination to combine the signals of relay and the direct link. Furthermore, to get more about system insights, the outage performance is studied at high SNR regime. Monte-Carlo simulations are provided to validate the derived analytical and asymptotic expressions. Main results illustrate that when the interference power does not scale with SNR, the system can still achieve diversity gain, especially, at SNR values that are comparable to the switching threshold. Asymptotic results show that at high SNR values, the system with the SEC and SECps relaying schemes has a diversity order of 2 and approximately the same coding gain.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707883","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 particular, by deploying DSSC scheme in cognitive radio networks, we have shown that the low transmit power at unlicensed users, inflicted by the peak interference power constraint at licensed users, can be alleviated. We present closed-form expressions for outage probability and spectral efficiency, enabling us to evaluate and optimize the considered network performance.

The proposed protocol achieves high diversity gain with the help of Hybrid Automatic Retransmission reQuest (H-ARQ) even when multiplexing gain is quite high. As the maximum allowable number of retransmission rounds (L) increases, an additional time diversity gain is obtained in short-term static channels. Compared to pre-existing protocols which adopt H-ARQ in a similar manner, its diversity gain at high multiplexing gain is much improved. As L increases, the dominating region become wider. In addition, in long-term static channels, we show that more than two retransmissions (i.e., L > 2) are unnecessary for improvement of the diversity gain.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"32 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114118134","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}

Originally, CoAP protocol is designed to communicate between embedded devices, however its applications can spread well over the Internet by exposing the devices' capabilities to the Web as Web resources. Thus, we claim that CoAP protocol could also be used in web-based application to leverage CoAP-based resources. Unfortunately, the design of CoAP protocol, for example, bind to UDP socket to reduce the package size or bidirectional communication to cope with duty-cycle power scheme, prevents it from being supported on conventional web browsers. Additionally, translation of CoAP into HTTP protocol via HTTP/CoAP proxy as recommended by IETF is not the best solution since many CoAP features are limited. Instead, new bidirectional web protocol such as HTML5 Web Socket would help to preserve the protocol's characteristics. We propose a solution called SCoAP that facilitates true CoAP communication in conventional web browsers by applying HTML5 Web Socket protocol. Experiment results have shown significant advantages of SCoAP solution over standard HTTP/CoAP proxy in term of network traffic and computational demand.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128841734","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}

Moreover, the throughput and PLR gain of CRA in presence of power unbalance is studied, showing that significant gains can be expected. Following this, the central question is answered which channel rates optimize the goodput of CRA, showing that for CRA with few replicas a low, robust channel rate achieves optimum while for high numbers of replicas a high channel rate performs optimum.

A simple two-slope line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight outdoor path loss model is proposed and compared to different existing path loss models. The outdoor path loss is found to be approximately 5 dB higher for 3.5 GHz compared to 1.9 GHz. The outdoor-to-indoor propagation is investigated for two office buildings and different street shops. For the different presented scenarios, penetration loss increases with frequency and is found to be up to 5 dB higher for 3.5 GHz compared with 1.9 GHz.

Existing work has mostly focused on the fundamental aspects of NC, while constraints arising in real-world network deployments have not received much attention. In particular, NC requires network nodes to overhear each other's packets, which oftentimes contradicts many security standards that attempt to provide link-layer confidentiality, e.g., by utilizing pairwise encryption keys as is the case IEEE 802.11i and ZigBee. There is an inherent trade-off between gains from NC and link-layer security: if many nodes share the secret link-layer key, NC will improve throughput, yet a leakage of the key will affect many nodes. On the other hand, having distinct secret keys will increase resilience against key compromise, but will also minimize the coding gain. We formulate this security vs. performance trade-off as an optimization problem and evaluate the effectiveness of NC under different sizes of key-sharing groups and network topologies. Our results show that increasing the key-sharing group by a single node can result in a maximum coding gain between 1.3% and 13.7%.","PeriodicalId":233798,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122311216","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}
