Since the harvested energy of RS is stochastic and not always large enough, our challenge is how to match the user association with the energy arrival rate of RS so as to maximize the throughput of the network. For this purpose, we propose a dynamic bias based user association policy which means the user is associated with the BS/RS that provides the strongest-biased-average-received-power, and maximize the throughput by optimizing the bias with different energy constraints. Using tools from stochastic geometry and continuous time Markov chain (CTMC), we first formulate the problem as a throughput-optimal and energy-constrained problem with respect to the bias. Then, by solving the optimization problem, we derive the closed expression of the optimal bias maximizing the throughput. Numerical results show that our dynamic bias based user association policy can always outperform that without bias, especially when the RSs are energy-limited.","PeriodicalId":412971,"journal":{"name":"2014 Sixth International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115837255","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 the market of mobile devices, a large portion were installed with Google's Android as the default operating system. A clear understanding of the Android media framework is of great importance for the performance optimization of mobile video streaming. In this paper, we focus our attention on demystifying the magic of cache thresholds in the Android media framework. As the key control parameters, cache thresholds play an important role in regulating the downloading behavior of a mobile device, which directly affects the cost and quality of mobile streaming. We built a dedicated testbed and conducted a measurement study to measure the cost and quality of mobile video streaming when varying cache thresholds. Our measurements pointed out that, the sunk cost incurred by user viewing abortion will grow with the increase of either high or low threshold. More battery energy can be saved if lowering the low threshold. In addition, the freezing phenomenon can be mitigated significantly by increasing the low threshold. It is also interesting to observe that there exists a clear cost-quality tradeoff when varying cache thresholds. It implies that the current static cache management scheme is unsuitable to achieve the best cost-quality tradeoff. We finally discussed a few implications of our results on cache optimization of mobile video streaming.","PeriodicalId":412971,"journal":{"name":"2014 Sixth International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing (WCSP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114727924","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}

Both transmit power and circuit power consumption are taken into consideration. The objective is to minimize the overall power consumption so as to achieve high energy efficiency (EE). Relay selection, bit loading, power allocation and subcarrier reduction are involved in this paper. Moreover, we propose a frequency reuse strategy named highest frequency reuse (HFR), to cut down the interference between cells. This HFR strategy deletes subcarriers which suffers from serious frequency selective fading and uses better subcarriers for transmission.

Six transmitter configurations with increasing LED-spacing in a LED transmitter of fixed number of LED chips are covered. Simulation results indicate that even in limit case, the maximum deviation of optical path loss (OPL) and 3-dB transmission bandwidth for different cases is still less than 0.40 dBo and 1.38 MHz which is acceptable while respective spatial fluctuation lies within 55.60-58.38 dBo and 19.38-23.96 MHz. On the other hand, the impact on the root mean square (RMS) delay spread is up to prominent 1.67 ns considering the actual level of 2.00-3.35 ns.

Because it does not protect the leak of access patterns from careful observations. It is thus important to make sure the server learning nothing about the queries including access patterns. However, this implies an expensive computation or communication cost of all the data on the server. Existing solutions are not efficient due to their impractical communication and computation cost. Besides, most of them do not support keyword search. In this paper, we introduce the mechanism of pricing to solve the problem of impractical cost. Using our scheme called KSPIR, we achieve the minimum communication and computation cost according to the flexible privacy and budget specified by users. It is indeed a kind of tradeoff between the cost of retrieval and the degree of privacy. It is worth noting that it also supports keyword search. It allows users to retrieve the data items containing the keywords they are interested in.

In this paper, we show that the SM-Rx is applicable to GSM while SM-Tx is not. Therefore, an improved Transmit-centric SD algorithm for GSM (GSM-Tx) is proposed. The GSM-Tx provides a more efficient and accurate computation of the searching points that lie inside a sphere without triangular factorization.
