On the other hand, a coarse estimate of the sensors' location is usually sufficient for many applications. The Area Localization Scheme (ALS) has been proposed as a scheme that estimates the position of every sensor within a certain region rather than identifying its exact location. Experimental results have shown that ALS is a promising technique with an accuracy of over 80% of sensors successfully localized. However, the accuracy of the scheme is dependent of the location of the sensors, as the regions into which the sensors are localized are not of uniform sizes. If a sensor is predicted to lie in a small region, then there is a higher probability that the prediction is inaccurate, and vice versa. In this paper, we aim to correct such discrepancy in defining positioning error. We propose to aggregate smaller regions to form more uniform regions within which nodes are localized. This effort improves the overall scheme's accuracy according to some predefined threshold.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127970713","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 advantage of allowing different modulation&coding schemes (PhyModes) adaptively for each radio resource is at the same time a new disadvantage because the performance is now distance-dependent from the base station (BS) and the total spectral efficiency depends on how user terminals (UTs) are provided with service opportunities. Instead of increasing the effort to support cell-edge users with high data rates this paper investigates the chances of letting the user participate in the process such that his mobility becomes utility-driven, in a similar way the user behaves in 802.11 hotspot areas. The user's willingness to move to regions of higher SINR must be supported by a display of the current situation (and indications where to move) plus a utility model (lower cost or higher data rate) which motivates moving a distance monotonic in the utility value. By giving input to the user and utilizing the output of his behavior the user becomes a member of the control loop, in a system theoretic sense. The paper shows numeric results of common scenarios and compares the old and new paradigms.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"67 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114528431","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, due to intermittent connectivity, security schemes introduced for the conventional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) cannot be directly deployed over ICMANs for node authentication. Therefore, this paper adopts the nodes' mobilities to implement the (t, n) threshold secret sharing and identity-based cryptography (IBC) over ICMANs. Such (t, n) based IBC can subsequently be utilized to facilitate node authentication to defend against the malicious attacks in the ICMANs context. In the proposed security scheme, the master private key of IBC is shared by n distributed private key generators (PKGs), while each node needs to employ its mobility nature to contact at least t-out-of-n PKGs to reconstruct its own private key. To overcome the routing-security interdependence cycle, only face-to-face based node authentication is employed. In other words, authentication and key establishment between nodes and distributed PKGs is only allowed whenever they encounter each other directly. Delay performance of such (t, n) based IBC in the ICMANs context is accordingly modeled and evaluated.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125838917","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}

Unlike current schemes it is effective even in heavily congested situations. To expand the applicability of the ONU sleep control scheme, we propose three major changes to the sleep control and dynamic bandwidth assignment. The first is to change the sleep trigger from the existence of buffered data to the existence of permission to transmit data. The second is to increase the burst length to the limit of the allowable delay variation to increase the sleep time. The third is to compensate for the lack of bandwidth requests from ONUs during sleep time to realize bandwidth fairness. Using the proposed scheme, the results show a one hundred thousand-fold expansion in the applicable range of sleep control and a four-fold improvement in power saving on average under highly congested conditions. Finally, the relation between the ONU load and the minimum sleep time is also discussed. The realistic minimum sleep time required by the proposed scheme is clearly shown.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131386878","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}

Given the model, our analysis shows that the capacity is Ω(1/N log N)1 according to the number of nodes N, outperforming the conventional ad hoc network of which the capacity is Ω(1/N2.

Therefore, it is proposed, the joint list in the PDCCH manager framework can be adjusted semi-statically to perfectly match TDD UL/DL configurations, and assuming ideal traffic monitoring this can furthermore provide more freedom and flexibility for wider range of UL/DL service requirement, without changing the overall TDD UL/DL configurations.

The former is a typical residential area and the latter is an urban area. The paper compares MIMO spatial multiplexing efficiency in terms of the eigenvalue ratio between the single and orthogonal dual-polarization antenna configurations. The eigenvalue ratio is characterized by two parameters. One is cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) and the other is the normalized received signal strength indicator (RSSI), which represents the difference from the RSSI when free space propagation is assumed. It is verified that the MIMO capacity of the dual-polarization can be estimated from just the SNR because the dependency of the eigenvalue ratio on the propagation environment is small. In contrast, that of the single-polarization needs to consider both the eigenvalue ratio and the SNR because the eigenvalue ratios change significantly due to the propagation environment.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122284452","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}
