A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) can provide this functionality using digital certificates. In PKI, key management and corresponding issuance and revocation of digital certificates is one of the key issues that have to be solved. The IEEE 1609.2 standard states that VANETs will rely on the use of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) to achieve revocation. In this paper, we analyze the problems of using CRLs in these type of networks. Moreover, we describe the Risk Aware Revocation (RAR) mechanism that improves the traditional use of CRLs. RAR takes advantage of the two distinct channel types in VANETs to increase the freshness of the revocation information. Moreover, RAR allows users to gauge the risk of operating in a VANET when using CRLs.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127836868","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}

If additional feedback of signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) is known, a location-assisted scheduler is employed to increase the system overall performance.

Generally, OFDM transmission induces high out-of-band emission due to the side-lobes of the transmitted sub-carriers. For a DSA based OFDM system, it is thus important to reduce the out-of-band emission. Aiming at providing high suppression effect for an interference avoidance notch, an interference avoidance transmission by partitioned frequency- and time-domain processing (IA-PFT) is proposed. IA-PFT is configured by a partitioned combination of the CC processing in the frequency domain and windowing processing in the time domain. Computer simulations show that IA-PFT reduces the interference power spectrum density under the condition of a highly prioritized wireless microphone in white space. Moreover, it is shown that IA-PFT realizes transmission performance and PAPR performance as much as those attained by conventional interference avoidance methods.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131313524","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 LTE system deployment, there may not be much separation between the frequency bands assigned to operators. Therefore, adjacent channel interference analysis between two coexisting LTE systems is a potentially important research field. In this paper, we investigate the coexistence problem between a macrocell and small cells, i.e., microcells and picocells, in LTE networks. We focus on analyzing the adjacent channel interference (ACI) between two coexisting systems with different duplex modes, i.e., frequency division multiplexing and time division multiplexing, deployed in adjacent frequency bands. Main contribution of this paper is to present the coexistence results of two systems by evaluating the macrocell performance degradation caused by ACI when it operates with microcell/picocell on adjacent channel in some typical interference scenarios. Based on comparison and analysis of simulation results, we find that in some scenarios two LTE systems could not coexist well under current LTE radio frequency requirements. We also present some suggestions and mitigation technologies to avoid large throughput loss due to ACI.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127061392","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}

Second, based on the proposed cooperative transmission strategy, we develop a new relay assignment and power allocation scheme to achieve a higher secrecy rate.

Simulation results show that the NMSE converging curve is very close to the ideal one and a good power spectral density (PSD) performance is achieved.

However, DRX in connected mode has not been optimized for real time applications such as Mobile TV and Video on Demand (VoD) which require strict latency and QoS uarantees. This paper presents a novel mechanism, La VoLTE, based on time series prediction and enhanced eNodeB architecture to determine DRX opportunities during video streaming over Real Time Protocol (RTP) in a TDD-LTE network without compromising the QoS.

A significant amount of research has been conducted in the domain of 2.5 GHz due to its widespread commercial use. However, no such work - academic or industrial - has been reported for 3.65 GHz, in spite of it being a more favorable option for many applications, particularly because of its licensing requirements. In this paper, we present a comprehensive comparison of these two frequency bands in order to provide benchmark results for use by network planners, engineers and researchers. Our analysis indicates that, while 2.5 GHz Mobile WiMAX generally offers a larger coverage area, the attractive licensing options for 3.65 GHz may present an interesting alternative for many deployment scenarios and applications.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114562636","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}
