As this competition becomes intense, the distribution of resources may become extremely haphazard, thus making users of certain classes to be disadvantaged over others. This may destabilize the HWNs and even lead certain classes of users requiring relatively higher resources into complete extinction. Hence, the key for a sustainable HWN is a resource management scheme, which fairly allocates all network resources. Therefore, in this paper, first we propose an analytical model to characterize such unfairness and instability in HWNs. This approach is based on the theory of ecological multi-species multi-resource competition (MSMRC). Next, to counter the aforementioned instability and unfairness, we propose a new joint radio resource management (JRRM) scheme, MSMRC scheme, which is capable of ensuring the HWN's stability and maintain the coexistence of users of widely diverse requirements, even under the extreme situations. Results indicate that the MSMRC scheme also supports the sustainability of the HWN by helping it to withstand sudden disruptions.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"22 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":"124767334","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 interference between the macrocell and femtocell is completely eliminated using orthogonal spectrum allocation. The interference between femtocells is almost negligible due to random spectrum allocation to femtocells as well as low transmit power of femtocell base stations. Proposed designs and analysis of femtocells have, so far, focused on closed-access, i.e., only the femtocell owner can use the access point. Our goal here is to illustrate the large performance gains made possible by hybrid-access policies that share resources between the owner and outdoor opportunistic users. Our analysis is in context of the LTE standard.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"40 4 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":"124854765","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}

Until now, the coverage and potential of ITS have been restricted by the excessive cost of deploying the required road sensor and communications infrastructure. Our solution to this problem is focused on a novel integrated ITS Network Architecture where vehicles are the main infrastructure in the network. We propose The Connected Vehicle Infrastructure (CVI) for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), where vehicles adapt to mobility changes to form stable vehicular clusters using a Network Criticality-based algorithm we have developed. Further, they build on their clusters to form more stable Mobile Networks, as part of the ITS network. Simulation results using NS-2 show that CVI clustering provides more stable clusters, lower handoffs, higher resilience to errors and better connectivity than popular density-based vehicle clustering methods. In addition, the overhead analysis of CVI shows that it achieves reasonable overhead compared to common clustering algorithms.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"05 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":"128562180","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 comparison is performed for the same environment considering, among other things, an advanced three-dimensional modeling of propagation and user distribution within the traffic hotspots. The obtained results indicate that various types of heterogeneous network deployments are realistic alternatives to the traditional way of deploying new macro sites. The downside of heterogeneous deployments is that the required number of new sites becomes considerably larger, which can cause problems from the backhaul availability and power supply point of view. Hence, based on these initial results, the heterogeneous deployments seem to be the most feasible for scenarios with a limited availability of new macro sites.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"44 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":"128636968","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 this problem a group of wireless clients are interested in obtaining a set of packets through cooperation, where each client initially holds a subset of packets. Unlike recent studies where cooperation is enabled through a fixed error free broadcast channel among fixed or stationary peers, we assume that peers move randomly between transmission rounds, have a limited transmission range and suffer from packet erasures. In this case giving an exact solution to the problem of minimum number of transmissions is difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, we propose two different heuristic transmission strategies to decrease the total number of transmissions compared to uncoded transmissions. We compare the performance of these two strategies in terms of energy consumption (total number of transmissions) by analysis and simulations. In particular, we show that when packet delivery delay is not an issue, the total number of transmissions can be dramatically decreased at the price of a small overhead.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"20 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":"129538639","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}

Due to the mobility of the nodes, different network topologies emerge which can benefit the information transmission throughout the network. In traditional diversity schemes, such as frequency, time, or spatial diversity, a signal is transmitted over different diversity dimensions (e.g., different frequency bands, different time intervals, or different spatial paths) to combat the destructive effects of fading in each individual channel. In a mobile wireless network, the nodes can exploit the topology diversity to communicated with their corresponding destinations more reliably as compared to the case when the topology of the network is fixed. In fact, in a fixed topology, the probability of a source having a poor connectivity to its destination is higher than the case when there are multiple topologies over which the communication can occur.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"15 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":"129663069","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}

However, as many mobile sinks and events exist in the network, such protocols are not energy-efficient due to frequent reconstructions of routing structures. Thus, in this paper, to provide the scalability and mobility of sinks and events, we propose new independent structure-based data dissemination protocol which exploits a k-level Independent Grid Structure (IGS) for data dissemination from sources detecting the events to sinks. The proposed protocol needs not to construct any routing structure irrespective of the number and the movement of both sinks and events. The proposed protocol also allows query or report packets to be sent to only a few grid headers in the k-level IGS and provides aggregation and multicasting of report packets by the k-level IGS. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to other protocols.","PeriodicalId":262660,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"34 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":"129156515","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}
