The cognitive link is designed assuming imperfect channel state information (CSI) for all links, available at the SU transmitter (SUTx). Under this premise we characterize the optimal design in terms of CSI quality and interference and evaluate their impact on the performance of BOSTBC transmission in underlay cognitive networks.","PeriodicalId":331080,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125085288","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 problem is nonconvex, hence, challenging to be solved, even in a centralized manner. To derive a distributed solution, we reformulate the problem as a noncooperative game. We then propose a network interference function (NIF) that captures the total interference incurred at unintended receivers by all transmitters. The proposed NIF sets the light for designing transmitter-dependent pricing policies for the above game. A price-based iterative water-filling algorithm (PIWF) is proposed to find MIMO precoding matrices, which determines both beam directions and transmission power allocation among antennas (or data streams) at each transmitter. Simulations show that PIWF is more power-efficient than all existing MIMO precoding methods. Additionally, NIF under PIWF is also the least. Simulations also show the fast convergence of PIWF.","PeriodicalId":331080,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115131330","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}

Virtual Mobility Domains supports both inter Autonomous System (macro) and intra Autonomous System (micro) mobility by leveraging a tiered addressing, a network cloud concept, and a unique packet forwarding scheme introduced by the Floating Cloud Tiered Internetworking model. The proposed mobility architecture is distinct from others by not using IP addressing and classic routing protocols, and deploying user-centric overlapping mobility domains. The comparative simulation study of Virtual Mobility Domains against Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6, and Proxy Mobile IPv6 using OPNET shows that Virtual Mobility Domains brings lower latency, lesser signaling overhead, and fewer packets loss during handoffs, specially during inter Autonomous System roaming.

The objective of this work is to provide coarse localization information based on layer-3 connectivity information and a few anchor nodes or landmarks, without using traditional methods such as signal strength, Time of Arrival (ToA) or distance information. We propose a localization algorithm based on a force-directed method that will allow us to estimate the approximate location of each node based on network topology information from a local OLSR database with enhancement from known landmarks as reference points. We assume the majority of nodes are not equipped with GPS and thus do not have their exact location information. A simulation based-analysis is conducted to evaluate our proposed approach. The results of this study show that the proposed approach can provide a reasonable and fast approximation of the location of the mobile node for use in situational awareness systems.","PeriodicalId":331080,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115435613","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}

Unlike existing design techniques based on Gaussian approximation and EXIT charts, the proposed framework tracks the empirically collected log-likelihood ratio (LLR) distributions at each iteration, and employs density evolution and differential evolution algorithms to design each LDPC component code. In order for the approximated LLR distributions obtained using density evolution to better match the true LLR distributions, a novel decorrelator is added to the decoder to make channel LLRs and check node LLRs almost independent of each other. Simulation results show that at 1 bit per sample transmission rate, the dirty-paper codes designed using the proposed method operate within 0.53 dB of the theoretical limit, reducing the best known result (with a 0.58 dB gap to the limit) by 0.05 dB at the same complexity and block length, while this improvement can be as large as 0.21 dB (corresponding to a 0.37 dB gap to the limit) when we use higher complexity encoder/decoder with longer block length.","PeriodicalId":331080,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115668982","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 first proposed mechanism deals with long term traffic variations, for which capacity optimization algorithms are proposed based on per-beam traffic requests. Due to the high asymmetry of the traffic, our algorithms provide time and spatial flexibility illuminating a specific set of beams within a window of several time-slots. Our algorithms maximize the amount of capacity actually offered while providing reduced power consumption. The second proposed mechanism deals with short-term traffic variations, for which we propose Network Coding (NC) based techniques at the link layer. The aim is to increase the offered capacity taking advantage of overlapping beam coverage, usually considered as a source of interference. This technique is meant to be applied not only in classical multi-beam systems, but also on top of the per-beam capacity optimization as a method to deal with fast traffic unbalances not evaluated in the first mechanism. Analysis and simulations results show that system capacity can be increased up to 13% in the first case and up to 90% in the second case.","PeriodicalId":331080,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121807688","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}
