In particular, TV bands have been shown to have unused spectrum. Such observations have triggered strong interest in white space dynamic spectrum access among researchers, wireless equipment manufacturers, and standards development organizations. The IEEE Standards Committee on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks has created the White Space Radio Working Group in June 2011 to develop the IEEE 1900.7 standard for white space dynamic spectrum access radio systems. The draft of this standard is now finalized and ready for review by a broad audience during the sponsor ballot procedure. This paper gives an overview of key concepts and technologies of the draft standard P1900.7, including its use cases and requirements, its physical layer and MAC sub-layer.","PeriodicalId":283781,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128529037","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, current design and deployment initiatives for 5G do not consider that their adoption by operators will need to pass through a co-existence period with the existing legacy network. Considering the contribution of network virtualization aspects, along with standardized interworking procedures between 3GPP EPC networks, the vEPC can be exploited on demand to effectively address the explosion of traffic going through the legacy EPC network for traffic offloading, without requiring radical changes over the currently deployed infrastructure. This paper presents a NFV-based traffic offloading framework architecture using vEPC, aiming to enable on-demand traffic offloading when the legacy EPC network capacity is reaching an offloading threshold. In the proposed framework architecture, we present three vEPC modes representing different offloading aspects and resource usage. Available traffic monitoring methods and procedures for instantiating a vEPC on demand introduced are specified, while discussing additional aspects and issues for the proposed vEPC operations.","PeriodicalId":283781,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131014156","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 paper we present theoretical expressions for the statistical characterization of the quantization error obtained when a broadband multicarrier channel is quantized in the frequency domain, taking advantage of Gaussian channel behavior for multipath channels. The derived expression is valid for any type of non-linear quantization, and it is validated through Monte Carlo simulations for an interpolated uniform and non-uniform quantization strategies, under different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":283781,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132269421","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}

When a ProSe-enabled UE in D2D communication moves across a cell boundary, seamless handover is expected. However, LTE-A does not specify D2D handover procedures, and the current LTE-A handover procedures cannot support the ProSe service continuity requirements [1]. Therefore, an efficient D2D handover mechanism is necessary to meet the requirements. In this paper, a D2D handover mechanism, which considers the signal quality of D2D pairs, is proposed. The proposed mechanism includes a Joint Handover procedure and a Half Handover procedure based on a D2D handover decision method. Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) [2] is adopted for the mobility model and performance evaluation simulations. The properties of this mechanism satisfy the ProSe service continuity requirements while decreasing the D2D HO failure rate as well as reducing the amount of information exchanged between the source eNB and the target eNB.","PeriodicalId":283781,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127920121","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}

Most DCNs deployed today are wired DCNs in which copper and optical fiber cables are used for communication. Despite recent advances in DCN design, there are two inevitable problems facing wired DCNs; hotspots and cabling complexity. To alleviate these problems, recent research works explore the integration of wireless technologies, such as, free space optical (FSO) communication or 60 GHz radio frequency, into DCNs. Wireless links can be used to augment conventional wired DCNs, or to realize a pure wireless DCN. In this paper, we discuss and analyze challenges that may face FSO-DC designers, and identify standardization needs and opportunities to help accelerate the development of FSO links for DCNs. To this end, we review state of the art of wireless DCNs using FSO links. We also briefly review and summarize physical layer specifications of existing standards related to indoor FSO communication, such as, IEEE 802.11 standard, IEEE 802.15.7 standard for visible light communications (VLC), and the families of standards developed by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) and the VLC Association (VLCA).","PeriodicalId":283781,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN)","volume":"67 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128024999","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}
