The maximum number of users is sought, under a total transmission power constraint and a minimum rate constraint per user. We propose a simplified interference alignment (IA) scheme which does not require global channel state information (CSI); instead, each user has its own CSI, whereas the base station has the statistical information (SI) of all the users. Using the proposed scheme, the users are divided into clusters, where the inter-cluster interference is canceled using IA; whereas the conventional intra-cluster NOMA interference is mitigated using successive interference cancellation (SIC). A closed-form expression is obtained for the achievable ergodic sum rate. Additionally, a power allocation scheme is proposed to maximize the sum rate subject to the aforementioned constraints. Finally, an efficient algorithm is developed to obtain the maximum number of users that can be admitted in the network. The performance is compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes. Results show that the proposed scheme efficiently computes the number of users and provides significant gain compared to OMA schemes.","PeriodicalId":348924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117023987","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 CC, using virtualization, efficient resource utilization can be achieved which in turn increases the performance of any implemented solution in this environment. However, in order to provide the services to the end users, there is an exponential increase in the size and number of servers within the cloud data centers (DCs) which raises the need of efficient VM management in modern DCs. However, most of the clustering techniques reported in the literature are centroid based in which the number of VM clusters are predefined, which makes them highly dependent on the location of the data. Moreover, these existing proposals emphasize on arranging the data in a spherical structure with equal number of VM clusters. To mitigate all these issues, in this paper, we propose Tukey?s-HSD Based Clustering (TBC), which provides high accuracy for clustering a set of VMs. In the proposed scheme by using the two key parameters-CPU and RAM utilization, VMs are clustered. VMs having different resource utilization are compared using the Normal Curve and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test along with the TBC test for evaluating the membership of all VMs. With respect to these metrics, the performance of the proposed scheme is found to be superior in comparison to the other state-of-the-art competing schemes of its category.","PeriodicalId":348924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128306947","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 challenge is that the multiple antenna configurations make the successive interference cancellation (SIC) condition, which is necessary for applying NOMA schemes, much complex. We formulate the transmission power minimization problem under the quality of service (QoS), SIC and secrecy constraints. In particular, the transmission power minimization problems are formulated under both perfect channel state information (CSI) and the bounded CSI error models. These problems are non-convex, hence they are challenging to solve.

To be specific, we first extend the concept of polarized modulation (PMod) from single antenna LMS systems to multi-antennas LMS systems, which utilizes the parallel polarization states for bit mapping. This new scheme, namely generalized PMod (GPMod), is capable of improving the transmission rate linearly with the number of transmit antennas. For high-rate scenarios, the proposed GPMod needs to deal with the interference introduced by cross polarization, which may degrade the system performance. In order to circumvent the cross-polarization interference, we employ the concept of index modulation to both polarization dimension and spatial dimension and proposed a novel interference-free scheme, namely polarized spatial modulation (PMod-SM). Finally, an upper bound for the average bit error probability (ABEP) of the proposed scheme is derived for the generalized spatially correlated Rician channel model. Both analytical and simulation results are presented to demonstrate that the proposed PMod-SM scheme is capable of achieving considerable performance gains compared to the conventional PMod and the GPMod schemes.","PeriodicalId":348924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114103465","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 these networks, a large number of radio units, also referred to as firefly nodes (FNs), are spatially distributed over an area. The mobile devices (MDs) in the coverage area are simultaneously connected via sub-6 GHz radio frequency links to all FNs. Unlike the cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) architecture, in firefly ultra dense networks, the FNs forward the MDs' data through multi-hop mmWave links to one or multiple root nodes since the coverage radius of each mmWave link is limited. The root nodes forward the data via optical fiber links further to the central unit, where the MDs' signals are decoded. Since the amount of data received at each FN is potentially huge, efficient signal processing is needed at the FNs before the signals are forwarded to the next FNs. Therefore, we investigate locally-designed linear processing schemes, where all received signal streams are linearly filtered at each FN before being forwarded over an available mmWave link.

Due to the high UAV altitude, the channels between UAVs and the ground base stations (GBSs) are dominated by the strong line-of-sight (LoS) links, which brings both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, a UAV can communicate with a large number of GBSs at the same time, leading to a higher macro-diversity gain as compared to terrestrial users. However, on the other hand, severe interference may be generated to/from the GBSs in the uplink/downlink, which renders the interference management with coexisting terrestrial and aerial users a more challenging problem to solve. To deal with the above two trade-off, this paper studies the uplink communication from a multi-antenna UAV to a set of GBSs in its signal coverage region. Among these GBSs, we denote available GBSs as the ones that do not serve any terrestrial users at the assigned resource block (RB) of the UAV, and occupied GBSs as the rest that are serving their respectively associated terrestrial users in the same RB. We propose a new cooperative interference cancellation strategy for the multi-beam UAV uplink communication, which aims to eliminate the co-channel interference at each of the occupied GBSs and in the meanwhile maximize the sum-rate to the available GBSs. Specifically, the multi-antenna UAV sends multiple data streams to selected available GBSs, which in turn forward their decoded data streams to their backhaul-connected occupied GBSs for interference cancellation. To draw useful insights, this paper focuses on characterizing the maximum degrees-of-freedom (DoF) achievable by our proposed strategy for UAV's sum-rate maximization in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, subject to the stringent constraint that all the occupied GBSs do not suffer from any interference in the UAV's uplink transmission. Numerical examples validate the DoF performance of our proposed strategy, as compared to benchmark schemes with fully cooperative, local or no interference cancellation.","PeriodicalId":348924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127880359","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}
