However, due to the limited orthogonal frequency resources, it is difficult to achieve this goal. To maximize the coverage probability of the system, we focus on the joint user-centric clustering and frequency allocation problem. To reduce the computational complexity, this problem is split into two sub-problems: user-centric clustering and frequency allocation. Firstly, we propose a novel binary user-centric clustering strategy, which includes serving clusters and silent clusters. This strategy determines the acceptable combination of serving clusters and silent clusters to guarantee the minimum transmission rate for each UE and simplify the complexity of the subsequent frequency allocation. Then based on the generated clusters, a new graph generation method is proposed. The advantage of this graph is that we can allocate frequency resources by simply judging the relationship between the serving clusters in the graph without complicated calculations. Numerical simulation results show that the joint binary user-centric clustering and location-based frequency allocation scheme is superior to the benchmark solutions in terms of the coverage probability.","PeriodicalId":415064,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"27 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":"132287531","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 utilization of smart contracts protects the interests of all parties in the untrusted caching market. By reasonably distributing the reward of generating new blocks, we can motivate the MNO to allocate more resources for offloading the traffic of the CP. In addition, we use the linear regression model to predict user mobility and design the cache placement policy accordingly. Furthermore, we compare the performance of three caching algorithms through simulation.

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}

Current related works are tackling the slice embedding problem from a cell-centric perspective. However, to achieve greater flexibility and better resource utilization, a user-centric approach should be more exploited. In this paper, we propose a SLICE-HPSO scheme that jointly harnesses radio, processing and link resources at the user level to build multiple user slices on top of the physical infrastructure. Our proposal is tailored to different user quality-of-service requirements and to the diverse functional splits resource requests.

This paper analyzes the temporal correlation by deriving the expression of the interference correlation and joint coverage probability in mobile UAV networks, where all UAVs move independently in a finite area and the channel fading is calculated based on air-to-ground channel model with LoS and NLoS. 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, the latency processing time is a major concern due to the exponential complexity of matrix inversion operations in MMSE schemes. This paper proposes an iterative M-MIMO receiver that is developed by using a Bayesian concept and a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme, referred to as a linear Bayesian learning (LBL) receiver. PIC has a linear complexity as it uses a combination of maximum ratio combining (MRC) and decision statistic combining (DSC) schemes to avoid matrix inversion operations.

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}
