This paper addresses how imperfections in these RF front-ends affect the overall system performance in precoded massive multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) uplink transmission. In particular, we focus on transceiver in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalances and their mitigation with RF-aware spatial processing. We first derive the essential distortion and interference models for OFDMA-based massive MU-MIMO uplink system under I/Q imbalances, and then propose augmented spatial post-processing to be carried out in the uplink receiver (RX) for mitigating the harmful effects efficiently. Numerical examples show that the augmented spatial RX processing clearly outperforms the conventional linear processing, and thus provides significant performance improvements with practical low-cost RF front-ends.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122861810","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}

One of the methods to support high data rate is to use wide bandwidth (spectrum). Due to the limitation of frequency spectrum for the commercial usage, we choose millimeter-Wave (mmW) band of 30GHz and exploit analogue beamforming technique, focusing electro-magnetic wave energy at a certain direction, not an omni-direction. In the analogue beamforming technique, beam selection is required so that base station (BS) and mobile station (MS) communicate with the best beam each other and this procedure is performed periodically for the selected beams not to be mis-aligned. To extend battery lifetime of user equipment, current broadband system such as 3GPP LTE/LTE Advanced adopts discontinuous reception (DRX) which the new mmW system needs too. Therefore, we propose the DRX mechanism considering analogue beamforming technique and analyze the performance of the system varying parameters of beam selection and DRX according to the given beam pattern, traffic model and movement of MS.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115505498","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, one of the fundamental reasons for the IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) inefficiency is overhead. In the context of our research, we demonstrate that WSNs may benefit from packet concatenation. In this paper we introduce and study the employment of a block acknowledgment mechanisms in order to achieve enhanced channel efficiency in IEEE 802.15.4 nonbeacon-enabled networks for both the Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Physical (PHY) layers for the 2.4 Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band. The proposal of the two new innovative MAC sublayer mechanisms can also be considered as a future possible contribution to the standard itself. The throughput and delay performance is mathematically derived under ideal conditions, (i.e., a channel environment without transmission errors). The performance of the proposed schemes is compared against the IEEE 802.15.4 standard through extensive simulations by employing the OMNeT++ simulator. We demonstrate that, for both PHY layers, the network performance is significantly improved in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay and bandwidth efficiency.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115511755","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 detected signal support is then clustered and tracked using Kalman Filters. Both numerical methods and hardware experiments are used to validate the algorithms.

Each UE selects an adequate transmission mode to optimize one of the following metrics: the RB sharing, the individual benefit in rate, the power consumption or the sharing-benefit efficiency. Based on this dynamic multi-user strategy, we propose an efficient dimensioning for the LTE bandwidth that fairly distributes the radio and spatial resources in all the sector. Numerical results show that the sharing-benefit efficiency metric provides the best trade-off between the achievable reliable rate and the RB sharing and it maximizes indeed, the number of fairly distributed transmitting UEs in the sector.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114923367","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, legacy ETArch deploys a fully per-flow approach to provision the same transport model for all sessions (equivalent to the Internet best-effort), while suffering with performance drawbacks and lacking Quality of Service (QoS) control. To that, we evolved ETArch with SMART (Support of Mobile Sessions with High Transport Network Resource Demand) QoS control approach, which coordinates admission control and dynamic control of super-dimensioned resources to accommodate multimedia sessions with QoS-guaranteed over time, while keeping scalability/performance and users with full Quality of Experience (QoE).

Hence, the utilization of these by the mobile user equipment (UE) having limited battery lifetime is quite a challenge. To cope with this problem, the mobile cloud computing can be exploited to offload high complex applications to the cloud. Nevertheless, the conventional mobile cloud solution introduces high delay and limits the use of delay sensitive services and applications. One feasible solution is to enhance small cells (SCeNBs) with computing capabilities and, thus, perform computing closer to the users accomplishing low delay. However, the high density deployment of the SCeNBs and UEs' mobility can result in often outage situation or handover when low delay tolerant data cannot be delivered from the cloud on time and become irrelevant. In this paper we propose power control algorithm, which purpose is to guarantee that the requests processed by the small cell cloud are received by the UE within required delay. This is done by coarse and dynamic fine setting of the SCeNB's transmitting power level. The simulations demonstrate the amount of undelivered requests from the small cell cloud can be significantly minimized when compared to competitive schemes. At the same time, QoS of non-cloud users is only slightly impaired when compared to the scheme giving solely preferences to non-cloud users. We also show that the overhead introduced by our power control mechanism is negligible.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126625491","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}

Recently, the security issue was treated from the perspective of physical layer, which mainly focused on improving the average secrecy rate in wireless fading channels. In this paper, the subcarrier allocation problem is considered for secure OFDMA systems. The objective is to minimize the outage probability of each user while guaranteeing the target secrecy rate. Although the induced optimization problem is a probabilistic integral programming, a novel random bipartite graph (RBG) approach will still be proposed to solve this problem. The random rotation based Hopcroft-Karp (R2HK) algorithm, which enjoys a logarithm-polynomial complexity, will then be proposed to minimize the secrecy outage probability with fairness assurance. By analyzing the properties of the RBG based R2HK algorithm, an approximation for the secrecy outage probability will be obtained in closed-form formulas. Simulation results will not only illustrate the accuracy of the theoretical results in this paper, but also show the performance gain of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126517026","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}
