Different approaches such as channel borrowing and cell breathing have been proposed to accommodate this problem. Meanwhile, relay stations, which can extend cell coverage and enhance signal strength for boundary users, appear to be important components in next generation networks. In this paper, we propose a new relay-based load balancing scheme which utilizes relay stations to transfer over-loaded traffic from hot cells to neighboring cooler cells. The proposed algorithm dynamically controls the associations of relay stations to base stations, and the associations of mobile users to relay stations and base stations. Simulation results show that our scheme significantly improves the performance of boundary users without penalizing total system throughput.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124034366","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 participating users transmit a linear combination of their new data packet and the packets successfully decoded due to preceding transmissions by other users, thus sending the new information as well as relaying the information for other users at the same time. The coefficients used for linear combination are selected at random from the finite field used to carry out the network coding. At the base station, original data packets are recovered from the received packets by solving the system of linear equations in the finite field. The proposed scheme is very robust against inter-user channel noise and can offer very high diversity gain in moderate inter-user channel conditions. Moreover, the transmission delay required by the proposed scheme is 2N as compared to N² in the traditional Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) cooperative systems. The performance benefits of the proposed scheme are demonstrated through simulation analysis.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124074993","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 order to adapt Wi-Fi for high speed mobile communication, we optimized its coverage on a rail track with a developed directional antenna, which has a communication range of around 500m by 10mW. With the antenna, however, a mobile entity had to switch over antennae (a layer 2 handover (L2HO)) every 6 to 7 seconds. Furthermore Mobile IP handovers (a layer 3 handover (L3HO)) had to be appropriately controlled to avoid a simultaneous handover of Layer 2 and 3, which results in a fatal communication disruption. Therefore the designed system in this paper separated a L3HO from a L2HO. As a result, a maximum of 25Mbps with an average of 16Mbps for the UDP throughput and an average L2HO time of 110ms were realized while travelling at 270km/h.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125895207","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}

Conventional rate control for turbo codes is achieved by time-domain puncturing where some of the coded bits (parity bits) are punctured to increase the coding rate. The proposed puncturing method is done in the frequency domain. After applying the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to the transmission coded symbols, some of the frequency components (spectrum) are punctured to increase the coding rate. The difference from the conventional time-domain puncturing is that the frequency-domain puncturing can transmit all the coded bits. Therefore, the coding gain is expected to increase. However, the frequency-domain puncturing operation causes inter-symbol interference (ISI). Therefore, we propose applying frequency-domain turbo equalization based on a soft canceller followed by the minimum mean squared error filter (SC/MMSE) at the receiver to mitigate the ISI. The simulation results show that the additional use of the frequency-domain puncturing can improve the bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) compared to pure time-domain puncturing.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124757634","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}

By controlling switching from an overlay CR mode to an underlay CR mode in a probabilistic sense, the throughput of a secondary user is maximized while the target departure rate of a primary (licensed) user is retained. Since a primary user in a hybrid approach is likely to suffer from additional interference, optimal transmit power of a secondary user in an overlay mode is derived for given switching rate.

Since orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the major wideband transmission techniques, detection of OFDM signals in low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR)scenario is an important research problem. In this paper, it is shown that the cyclic prefix correlation coefficient (CPCC) algorithm, which has been introduced as a simple and computationally efficient spectrum sensing test for OFDM signals, is a special case of the constrained generalized likelihood ratio test(GLRT) in the absence of multipath. As such, the performance of this algorithm degrades in a multipath scenario where OFDM is usually implemented. Moreover, by considering the multipath correlation in the GLRT algorithm and employing the inherent structure of OFDM signals, a simple and low complexity algorithm, called multipath-based constrained-GLRT (MP-based CGLRT)algorithm is obtained. The MP-based C-GLRT algorithm is shown to outperform the CPCC-based algorithm in a rich multipath environment. Further performance improvement can be achieved by simply combining both the CPCC-based and MPbased C-GLRT algorithms.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129858965","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}

Recent studies show that at a low SNR under high noise uncertainty, pilot detection performs better than other spectrum sensing methods such as energy detection and feature detection. The motivation of this paper is to adopt a DTV pilot detection scheme to detect white space applications. We propose assigning a frequency-domain coexistence beacon (FCB) at the same location of the DTV pilot as the pilot of white space applications. Over the FCB, every white space application transmits its coexistence beacon frames, and other white space applications detect the frames using the DTV detector just as it does DTV signals. The narrow bandwidth of the FCB contributes to better SNR than that of energy detection. The analysis of the proposed method shows that the increase in the SNR contributes to improving the coexistence of white space applications by increasing the average probability of detection. Although the reduced bandwidth to transmit user traffic causes degradation in the data rate, the proposed method can achieve higher utilization of total white space channels with less interference and more accommodation of newly-joining white space applications. In addition, the proposed method enables us to simply adopt the DTV pilot detector for detecting white space applications, allowing implementation of the proposed method at a low cost with less hardware complexity.","PeriodicalId":417714,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 72nd Vehicular Technology Conference - Fall","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128626625","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 CB-SOSS benefits from the fact that in wireless channels, the multipath components travel in clusters that are non-uniformly distributed in the spatio-temporal space.

In the PBS, the candidate nodes (receivers) in each hop are first separated into two groups based on a direction either diverging from, or converging to, the direct line between the source and destination. Then, one of the best nodes from the two groups is selected according to a carefully-defined probability by considering the uncertainty in the subsequent hops. The simulation results demonstrate that integrating the proposed PBS with conventional distributed routing schemes can significantly improve the accessibility and effectively guarantee other system performance.
