Our evaluation includes the partial frequency reuse and soft frequency reuse as ICIC schemes. We also evaluate the influence of power reduction, user density, and user distribution. Based on the simulation results, it is beneficial to employ \"soft\" frequency reuse (without completely stopping the transmission) and apply our ICIC optimization scheme to obtain good performance from the viewpoint of proportional fairness.","PeriodicalId":239243,"journal":{"name":"2017 20th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125120675","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 preprocessing step is introduced to minimize distortion and the message is embedded using histogram shifting. The statistical features of an image do not change significantly after embedding.

It can obtain the space diversity and expand the area coverage. However, here arises an another issue on relaying how to deploy relay nodes in an efficient manner. In this paper, we present a whole system design of FSS-OFDM employing an adaptive modulation considering mobility of relay node.

The inability to simultaneously transmit and receive inherently reduces the spectral efficiency of a radio channel by 50%. Spectrum scarcity and souped-up demand for data from the smar devices, the wireless networks have been unable to cope with the growing needs of the user community. The realization of the full duplex mode operation in the prevailing circumstance has attracted a lot of attention from both industry and academia. The fundamental obstacle in achieving the ful duplex mode operation emanates from the self-induced interference from its own transmitted signal, which interfere with the received Signal of Interest (SoI). Majority of wireles communication systems operate in half duplex mode (inheren inefficiency) to avoid self-interference and to preven desensitizes of their receive chain. The key challenge in achieving the full-duplex radio operation in the same frequency band originates from the huge power differentia between transmitted power and the received signal of interest arriving from a faraway transmitter as well as the nonlinearity of the Radio Frequency Front End (RFFE) transmit/receive components. This large power differential saturates the Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) and overwhelms the dynamic range o the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in the receive chain raising the Receive (Rx) noise floor to an undesirably high level. Many analog and digital cancellation techniques have been proposed and implemented with limited success in specific environments. A more generic technique, which allow for adaptive cancellation of interference from various source in dynamic environment, has been studied, implemented, and the result has been documented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":239243,"journal":{"name":"2017 20th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123348300","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}

Therefore, how to approach the optimum location accuracy has been recognized as a difficult task. In this paper, we focus on the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) positioning method of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system.

By using almost blank subframes (ABSs), the performance of range extension (RE) UEs in small cells can be improved. However, due to the different user numbers and needs in small cells, the configuration of ABSs in a macro cell may not be appropriate to each small cell deployed in it. This disadvantage can affect the improvement of system performance, especially when the number of small cells increases. To further improve the system performance, in this paper we propose a centralized macrocell muting scheme. In this scheme, macrocells will be muted at subchannel level instead of subframe level. Meanwhile, the fairness among different user types is taken into consideration. Simulation results show that our centralized muting scheme improves the throughput and fairness performance compared with non-ABS and ABS schemes.","PeriodicalId":239243,"journal":{"name":"2017 20th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129390763","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}

Then, we decrease the number of signal points in the inner rings and remap the signal points to the newly added rings outside the original rings while maintaining high affinity to the double Gray mapping feature. Computer simulation results show that partial LDPC coding with double Gray mapping decreases the required received signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) at the bit error rate (BER) of 10−6 by approximately 0.2 dB compared to full LDPC coding for a high LDPC coding rate such as 0.9.
