In this paper, we consider scenarios in which the utility function is an arbitrary, rather than concave function of multicast rate and specifically apply the proposed algorithm to the multicast problem in CDMA wireless networks. By using a combination of probability collectives (PC) method and network coding, a new cross-layer optimization approach which converges to a sub-optimal solution is proposed. This solution has been achieved by decomposing the original problem into data routing sub-problems at the network layer and power allocation sub-problems at the physical layer. These sub-problems are then coupled through a set of Lagrangian multipliers and each sub- problem is solved in a distributed fashion. It will also be shown that if the utility function is concave or monotonic, the proposed approach converges to a near optimal solution.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122729218","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}

With the rapid deployment of citywide wireless networks, outdoor location-based services (LBS) have become an important research area. Such services are believed to have a considerable business potential in citywide wireless networks. Wi- Fi RFID tags can be used to take advantage of such a potential. However, very limited testing has been carried out in order to examine the performance of the Wi-Fi RFID technology in outdoor environments. In this paper, the authors present results from the testing of Wi-Fi RFID tags within the citywide wireless network deployment Wireless Trondheim (Tradlose Trondheim). The location-based solution used in the deployment has explicitly no support for determining location in outdoor environments. Still, it is important to survey the current performance of the Wi-Fi RFID technology in order to identify the potential for commercial services. The results presented in this paper indicate several limitations with this technology in citywide wireless networks. These limitations constrain the current possibilities for commercial services based on Wi-Fi RFID tags in Wireless Trondheim.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121827291","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}

This protocol called QoS- CROMA is an extension of an interesting TDMA MAC protocol that makes use of a receiver-driven on-demand time-slot assignment policy. Our QoS extension concerns the receiver-side scheduling, sender-side slot selection policy and the protocol packet format modification. A real-time scheduler for CPU task is adapted for the slot scheduling in our TDMA MAC context and some modifications to the slot selection policy of CROMA are carried out. Simulation results, considered in terms of data packet delay, throughput and control overhead, have been evaluated. QoS-CROMA is more performing than original CROMA in terms of lower data packet delay and higher throughput.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116476460","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}

Medical sensors in a human body self organize in a ZigBee Personal Area Network (PAN). At a higher level, these PANs are interconnected in a Healthnet. To this end, a ZigBee PAN detects the existence of another PAN with beacon detection or active channel scan and selects proper target based on the peak energy (when energy detection channel scan is used). Different ZigBee interconnection schemes are then possible. PAN bridge method uses special bridge node that works for different PANs with time division method. PAN merge method changes PAN coordinator's role as bridge node and merges two PANs. Peer-to-peer network can be used when all PANs use the same channel and operates as an ad-hoc network. In this paper, we perform extensive evaluations using NS-2 simulations to compare PAN interconnection methods. Results show that the PAN bridge is the most useful method because it is not affected by router/node ratio and is applicable to different channel and user scenarios.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133500547","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}

This channel model is derived from a new geometric street scattering model. The street model consists of an infinite number of scatterers lying on the left and/or right hand side of the street. It is assumed that both the transmitter and the receiver are moving. The channel model takes into account the exact relationship between the angle of arrival (AOA) and the angle of departure (AOD). Based on this relationship, the statistical properties of the reference model are studied. Analytical solutions are provided for the three-dimensional (3D) space-time cross-correlation function (CCF), the 2D space CCF, and the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF). Starting from the reference model, where the number of scatterers is infinite, a deterministic simulation model is developed. The latter can easily be implemented on a computer, allowing the emulation of the statistical fading behaviour with a great deal of precision. Finally, simulation results show the excellent correspondence between the temporal and spatial correlation properties of the channel simulator and the reference model.","PeriodicalId":261480,"journal":{"name":"2007 4th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130229718","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}
