In this paper, we propose a weighted sign algorithm (WSA) for positioning and tracking in wireless sensor networks. In terms of the reliability of distance estimation, the location estimation of a target is formulated as a weighted least squares (WLS) problem, which is solved based on the WSA in an iterative and decentralized manner. We also propose a cooperative message-passing algorithm for inter-sensor information exchange, adaptively picking the participating sensor nodes, and making the paths for cyclic routing in the network. On each routing path, a target's location estimate is updated on each cycle and continues among the participating sensor nodes that surround the target. To ensure that the WSA-based scheme has a convergence behavior, a convergence analysis is given. Computer simulation results demonstrate that, as compared with previous methods, our proposed scheme has a faster convergence rate, better location accuracy, and improved tracking performance.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116466842","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 paper, we present how regular TCP which was designed for wired networks is not suitable for dynamic spectrum access networks. We develop an analytical model to estimate the TCP throughput of Dynamic spectrum access networks. Dynamic spectrum access networks deal with opportunistic spectrum access leading to greater utilization of the spectrum. The extent of utilization depends on the primary user's traffic and also on the way the spectrum is accessed by the primary and secondary users. The proposed model considers primary and secondary user traffic in estimating the TCP throughput by modeling the spectrum access using continuous-time Markov chains, thus providing more insight on effect of dynamic spectrum access on TCP performance than the existing models.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121500123","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}

Until now, these techniques have been considered separately. In this paper, a single source (basestation) with multiple antennas broadcasts to multiple single-antenna destinations through a network of single-antenna relays. A transmit precoder is first proposed to optimize the system for a set of fixed relay gains and phases (beamforming weights). Next, by straightforwardly generalizing results from the recent literature, these distributed relay beam-forming weights are optimized for this transmit precoder. The process is performed iteratively, and both problems are solved using semidefinite relaxation. For the special case of a single destination, we also provide a closed-form solution for relay optimization using a fixed linear precoder at the transmitter. Simulation results quantify the tradeoffs between the number of antennas at the basestation versus the number of relays, in terms of total relay network transmit power savings.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"130 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113989032","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, the large feedback and signaling overhead hinder it from practice. Therefore, limited cooperation among BSs is recognized as a good tradeoff between the performance gain and the relevant cost. In this paper, the whole network is divided into small disjointing BS cooperation groups, namely, clusters. A decentralized framework is proposed to facilitate the BS cluster formation on the downlink, in order to maximize the sum-rate of the scheduled mobile stations (MSs) under the cluster size constraint. Moreover, an efficient BS negotiation algorithm is designed for cluster formation, of which the feedback overhead per MS is irrelevant to the network size, and the number of iteration rounds scales very slowly with the network size. Simulations show that our strategy leads to significant sum-rate gain over static clustering and performs almost the same as the centralized greedy approach. With its low signaling overhead and complexity, the proposed framework is well suited for implementation in large-scale cellular networks.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"27 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124437883","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}

We propose a practical joint network-channel code that follows the structure of the WiMax IEEE 802.16e LDPC code, and that benefits from efficient linear time encoding and reduced storage requirements.

As system utilization and fairness are necessary, the scheme is based on Proportional Fairness (PF) utility function. Two main service classes are considered. One is the guaranteed service class. The other is the nonguaranteed service class. The scheme guarantees the minimum bit rate for the former class. The PF-based optimization problem with minimum bit rate requirement is formed and solved by using the Lagrange multiplier method with relaxed constraints. The novel PF-based utility function is derived and used for this class. The non-guaranteed class is served after the guaranteed class by using the conventional PF utility function. Extensive simulation with user mobility and finite backlog is conducted. The results show that the proposed scheme is able to satisfy the minimum rate requirement for the guaranteed class with moderate system utilization. Furthermore, within the same class, the scheme can provide very high throughput fairness.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126386825","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}

Many live streaming applications experience a large variation in the user number, high reconnection rate, and a large number of short sessions. Such frequent membership update may introduce significant rekey overhead and poses challenges to efficient key management. This paper considers applications that can tolerate a small amount of content leak, explores the unique characteristics of live broadcast streaming in membership dynamics, and investigates efficient key management mechanisms. Our proposed scheme uses the reconnection algorithm, batch rekeying and grouped user placement to reduce the communication and the computation cost associated with key update. Our analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce more than 50% of the rekey messages, and helps decrease the number of rekey messages that a user needs to decrypt by more than 90%.","PeriodicalId":405624,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126388664","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}
