However, main utilization of such services is in the wired networks due to several significant issues in the wireless world like connectivity, bandwidth, battery, unwillingness of cellular operators, etc. In the recent years, offering femtocell access points to subscribers became very promising business model for cellular operator. It also opens space for a variety of new services at the users premises. In this paper, we propose novel architecture for mobile peer-to-peer file sharing based on the femtocell deployment and describe a role of the femtocell in such scenario. We also describe traditional architecture and previously proposed solutions for mobile P2P. We evaluate these approaches and clearly show that the femtocell plays significant role and moves mobile P2P services into reality. We also discuss several current issues which can be easily solved by this architecture.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122531807","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 each time slot, each user transmits its packet to the base station (BS) according to a CSI-dependent transmission scheme. A packet is successfully received if its signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is larger than the capture ratio. We analyze the throughput of this network under a threshold-based transmission scheme in which a user transmits only when its channel gain is higher than a threshold. It is shown that in some cases the conventional ALOHA transmission scheme without CSI may outperform the threshold-based transmission scheme in terms of the maximum possible throughput. We give the condition for this phenomenon and find that this phenomenon will not occur if the BS is capable of receiving three or more packets simultaneously. Besides, we present a transmission scheme in which a user only transmits when its channel gain lies in an interval. This scheme includes the threshold-based one as a special case.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751512","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}

One of these famous lower bounds that has been extensively used in the literature is the Cramer Rao Bound (CRB). Depending on how we treat the symbols and the channel, different versions of CRB have been derived. There are two possible cases on how to treat the symbols and/or the channel namely, deterministic unknowns or random. Moreover, the symbols are either jointly estimated with the channel or eliminated. In other words, we have six different cases to be handled. In this paper we present the CRBs that exist in the literature and fit to some of these cases and derive the others in the context of SIMO single carrier cyclic prefix systems (SC-CP). On the top of that we present a unified framework that permits to derive all versions of CRBs in a concrete manner. All the derived CRBs are validated numerically by conducting limited Monte-Carlo simulations.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129779729","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}

Using power control to combat this interference might not be efficient. It could also lead to situations with higher levels of interference in the system. On the other hand, interference mitigation can help to not only preserve link quality but also allow more nodes to simultaneously operate. This paper proposes several interference mitigation schemes such as adaptive modulation as well as adaptive data rate and duty cycle for body area networks. Interference Mitigation Factor (IMF) is introduced as a measure to quantify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128780979","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}

Optimality and separability results for the energy allocation and precoder design problems that were found previously for sum-MSE minimization are extended to the problem of sum-rate maximization when channels are modelled using uncorrelated Rayleigh block fading with equal variances of the fading coefficients.

Therefore, TCP throughput strictly depends on both links. In wireless communication, the link speed is time selective due to shadowing effect. When the link speed is dramatically changed during the event of downloading, the impact of time selective link speed should be significant. In this paper, we clarify the impact of fluctuating link speed to TCP throughput by network simulator. In addition, we propose the adaptive link speed control of ACK link for achieving large ACK throughput.

We assume imperfect (or quantized) per-user channel state information at the base station and present two types of channel state information (CSI) reports from user terminals, namely, the CSI report that assumes the single-user (SU) MIMO transmissions and the enhanced CSI feedback report that assumes the MU-MIMO transmissions, and in the latter case we consider both uniform and nonuniform power allocations. To improve the MU-MIMO system performance, we propose signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) approximation techniques that utilize the quantized CSI available at the base station and improve the rate matching. We also introduce user pooling techniques which enable a reduction in feedback signaling overhead via per-user feedback mode selection. The proposed techniques also allow unconstrained user pairing at the base station scheduler and hence enable dynamic switching between SU and MU MIMO transmissions.

Further, currently, the 3GPP-agreed baseline for backhaul is that there is no direct X2/S1 interface between Macrocell and Femtocell, which means the real-time Macro-Femto coordination does not exist. Thus, autonomous triggering of Femto DL ICIC and autonomous PC at Femto have been recommended in 3GPP standardization. In this paper, to enhance the feasibility and performance of Femto's autonomous PC, we firstly design a strategy for Femto to properly determine the self-configured threshold used to autonomously trigger DL ICIC. Then, more importantly, to improve the autonomous parameter-estimation approaches used for implementing autonomous PC at Femto, an effective strategy is designed for Femto to autonomously estimate whether there exists at least one indoor victim Macro UE (MUE). Simulations show that the proposed strategies work well and provide obviously enhanced ICIC benefit for the focused autonomous Femto PC scheme.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123511530","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}
