We study the effect of sensor censoring on network performance in terms of the average error probability and average number of observations required until a global decision is made. The detection process is mathematically modeled as a random walk process with two absorbing barriers. We resort to Chernoff bound in order to find upper bounds on the error probabilities and the average stopping time. The main contribution of this paper is to prove that in a sequential binary hypothesis network where sensors send their hard decisions to the fusion center, censoring can enhance the network performance in comparison to non-censoring networks in certain SNR regimes. Numerical evaluation is provided to illustrate the gains achieved through censoring.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116510271","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}

It is shown that for a fixed eavesdropper node density, percolation happens for large enough (but finite) legitimate node density and small enough interference suppression parameter of the legitimate nodes.

With infinite battery capacity, we analyze the optimality of the thresholds with different correlations between energy arrivals at the transmitter and the receiver. With finite battery capacity, we use finite state Markov chain (FSMC) to obtain the optimality of our policies and also numerically evaluate their performance. The optimal thresholds for minimum outages are derived according to the average energy arrival rate and the system parameters. The numerical results show the performance gains using different policies, as well as the tradeoff between the minimum outage probabilities and the average transmission times.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133026781","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}

Thus, SPDY is expected to provide benefits for satellite communications resource management. This paper provides a careful assessment of SPDY performance over satellite links, compliant to DVB-RCS standard, with return link resources assigned on demand through a Demand Assignment Multiple Access (DAMA) method. Such a reference scenario constitutes a challenging communication environment due to both the limited return link bandwidth and the relatively high latency.

We assume a multicarrier transmission for both the primary and secondary systems. Instead of optimizing the powers over all sub-carriers, the sub-carriers are grouped into clusters of sub-carriers, where the power of each sub-carrier is directly related to the power of the correspondent cluster. The power optimization is done only over the set of clusters instead of all sub-carriers which can significantly reduce the complexity of the resource allocation problem. The performance loss of the reduced dimension solution with respect to the optimal solution, where the optimization is carried over all active sub-carriers, allows trading-off complexity versus performance. Numerical evaluation indeed revealed that a limited performance loss occurs by optimizing over a reduced set of clusters instead of the full optimization in the context of cognitive radio systems.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132104316","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 ubiquity and dense population of mobile devices have led several heterogeneous wireless networks to be redundantly deployed as an underlying infrastructure in a given area, allowing mobile users to choose their preferred wireless networks. These co-placed different networks, however, tend to interfere with each other and therefore suffer from severe performance degradation. To estimate this deterioration, this paper proposes an analytic performance model which precisely evaluates both the inter-network interference and intra-network collision effect on a victim network when involved networks run the same backoff algorithm. Differently from a legacy hidden station model, our model requires a set of Markov chains to separately abstract behaviors of both interfered and interfering networks. Simulation validates that our proposed model predicts the interference impairments more accurately than the hidden station model and even the conventional interference model that ignores the backoff behavior in wireless networks.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129169753","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, designing efficient resource allocation algorithms for OFDMA systems is a challenging task, especially in the uplink, due to the combinatorial nature of subcarrier assignment and the distributed power budget for different users. Inspired by Glauber dynamics, in this paper, we propose a randomized iteration-based uplink OFDMA resource allocation algorithm. We show that our algorithm is near-optimal in the sense that by increasing the number of iterations (which scales up the complexity), with arbitrarily large probability, the algorithm can converge to the subcarrier/power allocation pattern with the maximum sum-utility. We also show that this algorithm can be generalized to solve a joint uplink-downlink allocation problem in full-duplex OFDMA systems.

Small-scale operators (SSOs) of WLANs are becoming more prevalent, while Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) seek an outlet for their customers' data usage. These conditions prompt the need for an effective relationship between the two parties for the purpose of offloading cellular data traffic to WLANs in a way that is economically beneficial to all involved. This paper presents a model of such a relationship, in which the SSO sets a strategic offloading price per subscriber and the MNO chooses how many subscribers it wants to offload in order to minimize its costs. The application of this model is simulated in a real-world WLAN deployment in Oulu, Finland. Our findings can be used by both MNOs and SSOs to make informed network deployment decisions, even before engaging in an offloading relationship.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128251688","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}

This paper presents this technology and gives some insights on the scalability of UNB for a multi-point to point network. This configuration corresponds to an uplink scenario where multiple nodes compete to send their packets, with neither coordination nor feedback from the sink. In particular, we present and analyze two multiple access schemes based on random frequency selection: discrete random FDMA (DR-FDMA) and the new continuous random FDMA (CR-FDMA). An ideal system where the carrier frequencies are exactly obtained is first considered and extended to a more realistic case, with rough carrier frequencies. We analyze the system performance in terms of bit error rate and outage probability. The presented results clearly show that, even if in the ideal case, the DR-FDMA scheme outperforms the CR-FDMA scheme; in the realistic case, both schemes lead to similar performance. Thus, this paper highlights the fact that the use of CR-FDMA is very relevant in a realistic network as it bypasses the need of an accurate carrier frequency control, and thus permits the use of even the cheapest transmitters without loss of performance.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129561773","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}

This family of tessellations allow the generation of realistic city maps with a reduced number of parameters: the Anisotropy Ratio (ξ) and the Mean Building Block Area (MBBA). These city models are then used as input to a 3D ray tracing simulator to compute received power distributions. The objective of this investigation is to identify the impact of random tessellation parameters on wireless propagation. For this purpose, path loss exponent γ is estimated from received power distributions obtained by simulation for different values of ξ and MBBA pairs. Simulations results clearly show a linear dependency between path loss γ, ξ and MBBA. Path loss γ increases with ξ while it decreases with MBBA. Furthermore the evolution of the surface occupation ratio between outdoor and overall surface is also investigated. This ratio is named Free Area Ratio (FAR) in the sequel. It decreases with MBBA according to a power law. The results obtained are particularly promising as they provide a parametric relation between path loss exponent γ and terrain topology. This considerably simplifies the radio planning and dimensioning process of cellular networks.","PeriodicalId":381489,"journal":{"name":"2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129597883","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}
