Furthermore, we also assess the performance achieved by RS combined with Dirty-Paper Coding (DPC).

The polarized bit-channels of polar coding at finite lengths exhibit different qualities, i.e., some are almost noiseless while others are noisy. This implies that unbalanced protection is needed in the design of concatenating polar codes with other codes. To this end, a scheme of concatenatng polar codes with outer irregular LDPC codes for the protection of intermediate channels of polar codes is proposed in this paper. Between two constituent codes, a specifically designed interleaver is employed such that the overall error probability is minimized. The extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) analysis and a low-complexity heuristic method are proposed for the interleaver design. The soft cancellation (SCAN) and belief propagation(BP) algorithms are employed for the decoding of concatenated codes. Simulations are provided to validate its advantages in terms of excellent error correction capability and low decoding complexity.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125954734","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}

Partially caching the video files on the wireless devices provides an opportunity to decrease data traffic load in peak hours via sending multicast coded messages to users. In this paper, we propose a two-hop wireless network for video multicasting, where the common coded multicast message is transmitted through different single antenna Edge Nodes (ENs) to multiple antenna users. Each user can decide to decode any EN by using a zero forcing receiver. Motivated by Scalable Video Coding (SVC), we consider successive refinement source coding in order to provide a “softer” tradeoff between the number of decoded ENs and the source distortion at each user receiver. The resulting coding scheme can be seen as the concatenation of Maddah-Ali and Niesen coded caching for each source-coded layer, and multiple description coding. Using stochastic geometry, we investigate the tradeoff between delivery time and peruser average source distortion. The proposed system is spatially scalable in the sense that, for given users' and ENs' spatial density, the achieved distortion-delivery time performance is independent of the coverage area (for in the limit of large area).","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128479548","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}

Multi-connectivity is first presented at a conceptual level. We then propose a novel admission mechanism to control the number of users operating in multi-connectivity mode. Finally, the reliability and latency enhancement with multi-connectivity in heterogeneous network scenario with multi-service traffic is evaluated via system level simulation. Up to 23% latency reduction and 57% reliability improvements over the single connectivity solution are observed.

Specifically, by splitting the symbol into two sub-symbols at the source, the channel gain differences created by the relay can be exploited between two sub-symbols to use spectral resource more efficiently with NOMA proposal. On the other hand, by enabling the full-duplex technique in the first phase, the relay not only forwards the confidential information to the destination but also keeps radiating artificial noises to confuse multiple potential eavesdroppers. Different decoding schemes based on the successive interference cancellation (SIC) are proposed for the destination, relay, and eavesdroppers.

Enhanced capabilities of mobile devices, such as smartphones or wear-ables, as well as ubiquitous network connectivity give AR the opportunity to prosper. Despite these improvements, AR requires computationally heavy tasks, such as context recognition and classification through image or video processing, which are hard to fulfill on mobile devices. To this end, solutions for computation offloading to cloud servers have been proposed. We consider a scenario where context identification is performed through elicitation of user-generated information, such as images or small video files. It is the quantity of this information that ultimately determines the context classification precision, which we model as a Binomial random variable. We introduce the problem of maximizing a lower bound of the precision of context classification through prudent resource allocation, namely computation offloading, and bandwidth and computational capacity allocation at the wireless network edge. We define the context classification precision as a function of the quantity of information that users provide, and we demonstrate through numerical experiments that appropriate management of the limited resources at the wireless edge can maximize the classification precision of data analytics mechanisms needed for augmented reality applications.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121832483","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}
