As we do not consider any kind of division multiplexing, e.g., TDMA or FDMA, targets cause each other co-channel interference. This is a very hard problem, especially because the transmit power of targets can be different. The classical methods in which the power of a single target cancels out by dividing the received power at different sensors, do not apply to our problem, as the received power of each sensor is the superposition of more than one term, each of which corresponding to one target. We tackle the problem by a grid based approach, i.e., discretizing the area, and proposing an adaptive scheme to refine the position of grid points. The proposed algorithms are based on mixed integer optimization approach.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"10 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":"126376637","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}

At each time instant, a random number of contents are added to the library and each content remains relevant to the user for a random period of time. Contents are classified into finitely many classes such that whenever the user accesses the system, he requests each content randomly with a class-specific demand probability. Contents are downloaded to the user equipment (UE) through a wireless link whose quality also varies randomly with time. The UE has a cache memory of finite capacity, which can be used to proactively store contents before they are requested by the user. Any time contents are downloaded, the system incurs a cost (energy, bandwidth, etc.) that depends on the channel state at the time of download, and scales linearly with the number of contents downloaded. Our goal is to minimize the expected long-term average cost. The problem is modeled as a Markov decision process, and the optimal policy is shown to exhibit a threshold structure; however, since finding the optimal policy is computationally infeasible, parametric approximations to the optimal policy are considered, whose parameters are optimized using the policy gradient method. Numerical simulations show that the performance gain of the resulting scheme over traditional reactive content delivery is significant, and increases with the cache capacity. Comparisons with two performance lower bounds, one computed based on infinite cache capacity and another based on non-casual knowledge of the user access times and content requests, demonstrate that our scheme can perform close to the theoretical optimum.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"15 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":"126390852","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 particular, we consider single-source assisted by a set of spatially distributed relays able to amplify-and-forward orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals carrying both data and power at the same time. The users are assumed to implement a power splitting technique where the received signal is orthogonally split in two streams of different power levels, where one signal stream is sent to the power harvesting module while the other is converted to baseband for information decoding. We aim at optimizing the users' power splitting ratios as well as the relay, carrier and power assignment so that the end-users' sum-rate is maximized subject to transmitted and harvested power constraints. Such joint optimization is combinatorial in nature with a non-convex structure. Therefore, we present a sub-optimal low complex solution based on the harmonic mean of the two-hop relay channel coefficients. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm provides significant performance gains in comparison with a semi-random resource allocation and relay selection approach.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"57 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":"126539595","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 existing broadcast algorithms are unable to achieve these goals well, because they only employ local topology information to determine relays and the messages are just delivered by vehicles. In this paper, we propose the global topology based broadcast (GTB) algorithm which has the aid of the base station (BS) to obtain the global information. First, the BS constructs the global topology periodically. Second, we formulate an optimization problem to select the cluster heads (CHs). In order to solve this problem, we develop the cluster head selection algorithm (CHSA), in which the BS employs to select vehicles with optimal locations as CHs. Finally, the BS and CHs assist with the broadcast of the message. Compared with existing broadcast algorithms, the GTB shows the better performance both in urban and freeway scenarios in simulations.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"16 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":"125230643","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 objective is to minimize the total over-the-air transmission latency under stringent UL-DL reliability constraints and power limit. The achievable rate formula of finite blocklength codes is used to explicitly model the relation between the transmission rate, latency and reliability. While the formulated problem is difficult to solve, we explore the problem structure by analyzing monotonicity and convexity of the objective function with respect to system variables.

One of the main challenges in user-centric JT -CoMP is how to balance between signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) gain and loss of resource availability. To provide this balance, an optimal power level difference (PLD) value that determines how many users should operate under CoMP mode must be carefully chosen. Also, a proper radio resource assignment for JT -CoMP is needed. This paper studies the impact of choosing different PLD values on peruser throughput for CoMP and non-CoMP users. It also describes how radio resources in JT -CoMP systems are assigned. Simulation results demonstrate that a small PLD value such as 5 dB provides a better balance between SINR gain and loss of resources compared with higher PLD values such as 10 dB and 15 dB. Results also show that radio resource management has significant impact on the throughput of CoMP and non-CoMP users.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"2010 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":"127354970","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 setting, the problem of minimizing energy usage while achieving QoS requirements is a very complex stochastic control problem with a very large number of optimizing agents. In this paper, we propose a Mean Field Games model for this problem that reduces the complexity by a great deal and is thus amenable to numerical solution. Our model is general enough to include generic rate functions, arbitrary energy and QoS requirements per user, different channel fading models, and design knobs for determining the importance of different performance goals.

Quantifiable approaches to survivability analysis of such infrastructures are crucial. Most existing analytical models analyze the networks transient behaviors by applying homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC). However, the distributions for transitions between states during a failure recovery are not exponential in many real cases. To address this problem, we first propose to use a non-Markovian model to characterize the transient behavior of the phased recovery of the network after a failure. Then, based on the proposed model, we conduct survivability analysis of the network. Moreover, numerical results are presented to validate the phase type (PH) approximation used in the proposed model. A case study illustrates the effects of different model parameters on the network's survivability. These results shed new insights not only on survivability analysis, e.g. the non-Markovian phased recovery model, but also on survivability provisioning, e.g. how the model parameters affect the network's survivability, of such a network against failure events.","PeriodicalId":272951,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"27 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":"115134689","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}

Consequently, the challenge for these systems is to enable different service types and guarantee the respective service requirements efficiently. Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) systems, combining multi-carrier (OFDM) and spread spectrum techniques, are known to offer high spectral efficiency, robustness and flexibility and are therefore a promising candidate in order to achieve that goal.
