Compared with the existing soft-frequency reuse schemes, our proposed algorithms are dynamic in the nature and more efficient and flexible. And for some scenarios, e.g. the user deployed wireless access points in a shopping center, the SDPS algorithm is the only possible interference mitigation solutions. Preliminary simulation results show that the DDPR algorithm can effectively reduce the average cell buffer size and average interference among the multi-cell environment.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116228421","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}

Some important components affecting capacity are antenna diversity and an efficient radio realization, including concatenation, scheduling, and link adaptation. In the paper, high capacity is achieved by using dynamic scheduling together with receiver diversity and MIMO. However, the capacity could be even higher if not limited by the physical downlink control channel in combination with large and frequent signaling messages. Persistent scheduling in its simplest form cannot match the dynamic scheduling approach, in spite of the lower protocol overhead. This is mainly due to the lack of active link adaptation. Finally, by utilizing concatenation of voice packets over the radio substantial capacity gains are possible derived from both decreased protocol overhead and fewer transmitted signaling messages.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115289571","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}

Our simulation results show that RMAC outperforms other sender- driven, TDMA-based MAC protocols in terms of the packet latency and power consumption. We also devised a mechanism to enable unused timeslots to be \"stolen\" by other sender nodes and show that in the case of uniform timeslots assignment among the sender nodes, \"timeslots stealing\" increases the network capacity by as much as 200%. In addition, we propose a simple timeslots reassignment procedure to allow the receiver nodes to redistribute the timeslots among the sender nodes according to their offered traffic load, and show that it enables the network to efficiently reduce the packet latency in the face of asymmetric, bursty traffic patterns.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116576508","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}

The scheduler in the base station defines a utility function for each user that depends on the user transmissible rates and the user QoS criteria. For each channel scheduling epoch, the scheduler has to resolve the maximization of a system utility concave function. This optimization needs a long time of processing, which leads to a constraint in practical implementation. In this paper, we present an alternative solution, by using a weak control on the opportunistic selection. Thus, the selected user would combine a good channel condition and a low user performance. Therefore, if the user reaches a minimum level of performance and experiences an instantaneous transmissible rate greater than a predefined threshold, he would be selected for receiving packets. If the user with the worst case performance has a transmissible rate lower than the threshold, he would be selected, if he owns the max instantaneous transmissible rate compared to other users in the same conditions. The switching between these two groups of users is defined by the result of a logical function that indicates the group of the user that has a critic performance. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm can be viewed as the opportunistic scheduling algorithm under adaptive weak control of the QoS requirements. The system used for this analysis is the downlink of a single cell. A selection of numerical results is presented to compare the proposed scheduling algorithm to other scheduling schemes.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127776515","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}

Ordinary CSD operates in OFDM by cyclically shifting the same time- domain signal by different cyclic shift values on each transmit antenna branch. Unfortunately, in some channels (such as a line of sight channel or a heavily spatially correlated channel), ordinary CSD introduces deep spectral nulls in the composite frequency response seen by the receiver, which results in a performance loss relative to the single transmit antenna case. FIR-CSD is an extension of the CSD concept wherein multiple weighted and circular shifted copies of the time-domain signal are combined and transmitted on each antenna. Each transmit antenna essentially uses a different FIR filter that combines multiple weighted and circularly-shifted copies of the time-domain signal to be transmitted. Careful selection of the circular shift values and weighting factors on each transmit antenna can significantly reduce or eliminate the deep spectral nulls that ordinary CSD would produce in the above mentioned channels. This paper shows that FIR-CSD provides a significant performance improvement over the original cyclic shift diversity method, especially in correlated channels and with high-rate coding.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124402658","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}
