In this regard, ultra-dense small cell deployments are a means to cope with the need of extremely high data rates of several tens of Gbps and with the increasing data traffic demand. However, denser deployments may lead to more severe inter-cell interference, which is strongly connected to the actual spatial distribution of the mobile traffic demand. Traffic-adaptive beamforming using phased antenna arrays can be an attractive solution for concentrating capacity at desired traffic hot spot locations while inter-cell interference is reduced. In this paper, we propose a flexible and holistic model, which describes flow-level performance of networks, which consist of base stations equipped with phased antenna arrays, accurately and considers dynamic inter-cell interference. Moreover, we present a configurable spatial traffic model to generate data traffic maps with various statistical properties. We use these traffic maps to evaluate the performance of a traffic-adaptive beamforming algorithm proposed and compare it the performance of a state-of-the-art antenna down-tilt algorithm.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"396 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131645131","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, given that wireless communication systems operate on radiofrequency waves, the health effects of electromagnetic (EM) emission from these systems are increasingly becoming a concern due to the ubiquity of mobile communication devices. In order to address these concerns, we propose in this paper, an EM emission reduction scheme for the uplink of OFDM wireless systems. We formulate the EM reduction scheme as a convex optimization problem and solve it by allocating bits to users on their respective subcarriers. This is based on the assumption that the network can predict the channel state information of all the users for a given transmission window. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly outperforms the benchmark classic greedy spectral efficiency (SE) based scheme and an energy efficiency based scheme by at least 3 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129372437","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 this ON/OFF scheme, energy saving is achieved by switching OFF a specific subset of the base stations of a given deployment (ES base station) and maintaining the complementary subset (compensation base stations) for coverage compensation. State of the art solutions for finding compensation and ES base stations are based on two level network planning [1]. In this paper, it is proposed to find these sets as dominant sets over a compensation graph obtained from user terminal and/or base stations measurements. This compensation based ON/OFF energy saving scheme is shown to be an effective energy saving technique that provide energy gains around 20% for typical deployments.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124296272","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 receiver is assumed to have no side information. First, we provide an achievable scheme that approximates the system capacity at low buffer lengths. Next we consider a scheme viz. the truncated Gaussian signalling that provides excellent approximation to system capacity at large buffer lengths. These achievable rates are easy to compute and converge to the infinite buffer capacity as the buffer length increases. The achievable schemes we discuss belong to a general class of policies called Markov energy management policies. Markov energy management policies together with Shannon strategies provide good lower bounds to the system capacity.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123655703","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 IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines the medium access control and physical layer for low data rate wireless personal area networks with low energy consumption. The limitations of IEEE 802.15.4 in reliability are overcome by the IEEE 802.15.4e standard amendment defining three more MAC modes. Time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) is the most interesting one, providing high reliability. However, the link quality degradation still exists in the TSCH protocol, especially with high amount of interference and deep fading. This comes from the fact that the channel list in TSCH is fixed. In this paper we propose an adaptive channel selection scheme based on the multi-arm bandit problem. The selection of each channel is formulated as an independent process with an associated variable called the Gittins index. For optimal channel selection, the algorithm is modified to adapt to a varying environment by using a greedy strategy. The trade off between exploring all the channels to gather information and exploiting the selected good channels to avoid interference or fading, is investigated to achieve the best performance. Network simulation is done to explore and verify the algorithm design with NS-3. The throughput of TSCH with our channel selection scheme can achieve 85% of the ideal case, while TSCH with default hopping list can only achieve 54% in our simulation scenario.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127346546","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 existence and uniqueness of the generalized Nash equilibrium of the game are studied in the asymptotic regime where the number of BS antennas and UEs grow large with a non trivial ratio. A fully distributed algorithm based on best-response dynamics and relying on large-scale fading components is proposed.
