A simple and efficient way to estimate a UE's velocity is by counting the number of handovers made by the UE during a predefined time window. Indeed, handover-count based mobility state detection has been standardized since Long Term Evolution (LTE) Release-8 specifications. The increasing density of small cells in wireless networks is advantageous, as it can help in accurate estimation of velocity and mobility state of a UE. In this paper, we model densely deployed small cells using stochastic geometry, and derive an approximation to the probability mass function of handover count as a function of UE velocity, small cell density, and time interval of handover count measurement. Then we derive Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for the velocity estimate of a UE, and also provide an unbiased estimator for the UE's velocity. Our analysis shows that the accuracy of velocity estimation increases with increasing small cell density and with increasing time interval of handover count measurement.","PeriodicalId":315934,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116265450","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}

Leveraging tools from stochastic geometry, analytical expressions are derived to characterize the energy coverage probability at a typical receiver in terms of the cellular network density, the antenna geometry parameters, and the channel parameters. Results show that there typically exists an optimum transmit antenna beamwidth that maximizes the network-wide energy coverage probability for many operating scenarios. Simulation results further suggest that mmWave energy harvesting could provide a substantial performance boost compared to lower frequency solutions.","PeriodicalId":315934,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116766490","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}

Content prediction and caching can lower the load on backhaul and improve user experience. Therefore, an algorithm named tri-stage fairness (TSF) is proposed to solve the resource allocation problem in UDN with self-backhaul and caching, in which cells without direct network connection (rTP) access core network through donor TP (dTP). In TSF, rTP determines to transmit files cached in rTP (rTP files) or the files not cached in rTP (dTP files) according to delay and link capacity, and allocate access link resource using proportional fairness algorithm. dTP allocates backhaul resource among its users and rTPs with fairness considerations, and decides the time each rTP spends on backhaul link. Fairness, efficiency, overhead and complexity are jointly considered in TSF. To facilitate system level simulation, a traffic model considering the influence of caching is also introduced. Simulation results suggest flexible resource allocation between access and backhaul link yield substantial performance gain.","PeriodicalId":315934,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"50 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133051783","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 LAA-LBT is expected to be a feature in Release 13 of LTE that will allow mobile operators to utilize the unlicensed spectrum as their secondary carrier for data offloading. However, the unlicensed spectrum is primarily occupied by 802.11 based WLAN devices. Hence, to ensure a fair sharing of this spectrum with WLAN devices, LAA should use a channel access scheme that is compatible with WLANs' distributed coordination function (DCF). Two such channel access schemes for LAA are under consideration with 3GPP. In this work, we thoroughly evaluate these channel access schemes under various traffic scenarios. We show that the fairness of these schemes largely depends on the signal/energy detection threshold used by the LAA-LBT mechanism. Further, through simulation results, we show that there exists a trade off in selection of the detection threshold such that high sensing threshold results in improved overall network throughput at the cost of WLAN's performance; whereas, low threshold results in improved WLAN's performance at the cost of the overall network performance.","PeriodicalId":315934,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121816706","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 the measurement results, we found the self-interference channel with long propagation delay caused by the reflection due to various nearby objects. This self-interference channel cannot be removed using conventional analog cancellation circuit which has limited analog delay.

Such networks carry many simultaneous data transmissions and efficient routing paths need to be found for each transmission. One way this problem can be solved is by first finding a multi-commodity flow solution for all source-sink pairs. This provides traffic flow information for each connection but does not specify specific routing paths to use. We consider the problem of decomposing these flow solutions into a small numbers of routing paths. The specific problem we consider is the following: Given a flow with source and sink nodes s and t, we wish to exactly represent the flow as the sum of a small number of path flows. In this work, we describe a novel approach to finding good flow decomposition solutions using parity balancing path flows. We present two new algorithms termed OddCover and JointOdd-Cover that provide theoretical performance guarantees and are effective in practice.

Many research fields use the seamless IoT infrastructure to interact between the integrated devices and diverse services.

Therefore, a new technology called Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) has been proposed to better increase the life quality of elderly people. In AAL, the devices are mostly connected wirelessly to each other and/or to a healthcare service centre. It is challenging to build such a system and its deployment should be seamless and flexible. Therefore, IoT provides all main characteristics necessary for AAL environment and applications, including heterogeneous devices. However, IoT devices are resource-constrained with energy and memory. Recently, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been established as a best communication paradigm for future internet, particularly in IoT. Based on hierarchically structured names, ICN matches the application pattern of IoT systems and provides an efficient and intelligent communication paradigm for both IoT and AAL (IoT-AAL) technologies.

In LTE-A (release 10), enhanced inter cell interference coordination (eICIC) scheme is proposed as an effective solution. It notably involves the approach of almost blank subframes (ABS) consisting of muting the macro cell during a set of predefined subframes. This offers the opportunity to the overlay small cells to schedule their most interfered users during these blanked periods. Nevertheless, this muting has the disadvantage of decreasing the performance of the macro cell. In order to fully optimize the resource allocation and maximize the total throughput of the entire system, we require solving a global NP hard non convex optimization problem. In this paper, we propose an improved eICIC technique with adaptive macro cell transmission during ABS periods. In fact, the original global optimization problem is decomposed into disjoint tractable sub-problems by means of macro cell users grouping. The sub-problems are then optimally solved through a solution combining joint spatial beamforming and fair user scheduling algorithm. Compared to the conventional ABS, simulation results show that the proposed scheme considerably reduces the impact of ABS on the macro cell throughput without reducing the gains achieved at the small cell.","PeriodicalId":315934,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128065906","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}
