Especially because of power control leading to keen spatial competition, the spatial difference becomes much significantly, so that fine-grained analysis method is needed to evaluate its performance. This paper analyzes the spatial difference in user-centric network with power control through meta distribution from many different fine-grained perspectives to reveal that power control improves the performance not only in the sense of the spatial average, but also in the complete spatial distribution. Specifically, the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of the conditional transmitting success probability, the mean local delay and the 5%-tile users performance are given to depict power control effect on the individual links. This analysis provides the optimal values of the area and intensity for power control deployment in user-centric network. Numerical results show that after applying power control the users of high coverage probability can be improved at most by 38%, the mean local delay decreases by 2x and 4x gains can be obtained as for the 5%-tile user’s performance.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129910408","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}

Comparing with accessing the remote cloud, distributed vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) computation offloading is more efficient and suitable for delay-sensitive tasks by taking advantage of vehicular idle computing resources. Due to the high dynamic vehicular environment and the variation of available vehicular computing resources, it is a great challenge to design an effective task offloading mechanism to efficiently utilize vehicular computing resources. In this paper, we investigate the computation task allocation among vehicles, and propose a distributed V2V computation offloading framework, in which wireless channel states and variation of idle computing resources are both considered. Specially, we formulate the task allocation problem as a sequential decision making problem, which can be solved by using deep reinforcement learning. Considering that vehicles with idle computing resources may not share their computing resources voluntarily, we thus propose a dynamic pricing scheme that motivates vehicles to contribute their computing resources according to the price they receive. The performance of designed task allocation mechanism is validated by simulation results which reveal the effectiveness of our mechanism compared to the other algorithms.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128527122","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 investigates the optimal hop size of a cut-through transmission and spatial reuse to achieve the maximum achievable end-to-end throughput of a multi-hop network. In particular, we consider spatial reuse and establish an interference model for a string-topology multi-hop network with x-hop cut-through transmission, and show that the maximum achievable end-to-end throughput is a function of x and the spatial separation between two concurrently active cut-through transmissions. Through extensive numerical studies, we show that the achievable date rate of a cut-through transmission drastically decreases along with the increase of the hop size x. Furthermore, we find that the 2-hop cut-through transmission mode can always achieve the maximum end-to-end throughput using Shannon Capacity formula if the spatial reuse is properly addressed. On the other hand, the results show that the 5-hop cut-through transmission mode can obtain the maximum end-to-end throughput with discrete channel rates when the self-interference cancellation is perfect and the hop distance is small.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127632235","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}

Specifically, the temporal correlation is measured by incorporating the fluctuations caused by probability variation of LoS and the reliable network topology caused by finite mobility into the wireless channels. Furthermore, the non-uniform distribution caused by random mobility of UAVs is considered over different time slots. The results show that the interference correlation decreases as the moving distance of UAVs increases, and the decreasing interference correlation offsets part of the decrease in joint coverage probability caused by increasing moving distance of UAVs.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"174 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113973039","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, there is a risk of user location privacy leakage if a malicious eavesdropper tracks the service migration trajectory. In this paper, we investigate service migration in MEC by taking the risk of location privacy leakage into account. More specifically, we define the total cost of the system as the combination of the migration cost, user-perceived delay and the risk of location privacy leakage. We formulate the service migration problem as a Markov decision process, and propose an efficient algorithm to find the optimal solution that minimize the long-term total cost. Finally, the simulations based on real-world taxi traces in San Francisco show that the proposed method can make service migration decisions effectively protect the location privacy of users, as well as achieves a lower total cost than other baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"300 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114000809","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}

To combat the PC effect and to maximize network spectral efficiency, pilot allocation can be combined with multi-Base Station (BS) association and then solved by using learning algorithm efficiently. However, current methods separate the pilot allocation and multi-BS association in the network. This results in suboptimal network spectral efficiency performance and can cause an outage where some UEs are not allocated pilots due to the limited availability of pilots at each BS. In this paper, we propose a multi-BS association and pilot allocation optimization via pursuit learning. Here, we design a parallel pursuit learning algorithm that decomposes the optimization function into smaller entities called learning automata. Each learning automaton computes the joint pilot allocation and BS association solution in parallel, by using the reward from the environment. Simulation results show that our scheme outperforms the existing schemes and does not cause an outage.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122421892","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}

With the advent of 5G technology the ability to offer agile on-demand services to the users is mandatory. Therefore lifecycle operations such as service initial deployment, configuration changes, upgrades, scale-out, scale-in, optimization, self-healing etc. should be fully automated steps. Self-Organized Networks Functions (SF) were proposed to provide self-adaptation capabilities to mobile networks on different fronts: configuration, optimization and healing and somehow reduce the error-prone human intervention.Nevertheless, conventional design of these SFs was based on single objective optimization approaches where SFs were considered as standalone agents aiming at one very specific local objective (e.g. reduce the interference or increase the coverage). Thus, complex inter-dependencies between SFs were at some extent unattended, so when more than one function is acting on the network, conflicts are inevitable. A well-studied conflict happens when Mobility Load Balancing (MLB) and Mobility Robustness optimization (MRO) functions are simultaneously set up: without coordination, performance degradation is expected because of the cross-dependencies between both SFs. To cope with these underlying conflicts, we propose a zero-touch coordination framework based on Machine Learning (ML) to automatically learn the dynamics between the selected SFs and assist the network optimization task.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133083586","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 DHT-FBMC scheme is with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and adopts a pair of orthogonal or nearly orthogonal pulse shaping filters, one for even-numbered subcarriers and the other for odd-numbered subcarriers, to mitigate self-interference. The proposed method potentially has advantages in terms of performance and implementation, due to the fact that it possesses some distinct channel diversity on mirror-symmetrical subcarriers and involves identical real-valued transform operations at the transmitter and receiver.
