The aggregate interference is the main limiting factor in WANETs, and dominates the achievable rate and thus also the network capacity. In the proposed method, a bias correction constant is added to the aggregate interference that is measured in each simulation iteration. The value of the constant is derived through stochastic geometry analysis. We prove that the proposed method can reduce the computational complexity by several orders of magnitude, while producing more accurate simulation results. This improved accuracy is also demonstrated by simulations. As an example, we prove that a bias corrected simulation with only 100 transmitters is sufficient to estimate the aggregate interference with an accuracy of 1%.","PeriodicalId":420837,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 15th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"56 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116576712","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 practical communication systems, however, the channel response experienced by the receiver includes additional effects to those induced by the propagation channel. This composite channel embodies, in particular, the impact of the transmit (shaping) and receive (demodulation) filters. Hence, the assumption of the CFR being sparse in the canonical Fourier dictionary may no longer hold. In this work, we derive a signal model and subsequently a novel dictionary matrix for sparse estimation that account for the impact of transceiver filters. Numerical results obtained in an OFDM transmission scenario demonstrate the superior accuracy of a sparse estimator that uses our proposed dictionary rather than the classical Fourier dictionary, and its robustness against a mismatch in the assumed transmit filter characteristics.","PeriodicalId":420837,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 15th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114253875","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 formulate the problem as that of devising a sparse beamforming vector across the BSs for each user, where the nonzero beamforming entries correspond to that user's serving BSs. Differing from the previous works, this paper explicitly formulates the per-BS backhaul constraints in the network utility maximization framework. In contrast to the traditional utility maximization problem with transmit power constraint only, the additional backhaul constraints result in a discrete ℓ0-norm formulation, which makes the problem more challenging. Motivated by the compressive sensing literature, we propose to iteratively approximate the per-BS backhaul constraints using a reweighted ℓ1-norm technique and reformulate the backhaul constraints as weighted per-BS power constraints. This allows us to solve the weighted sum rate maximization problem through a generalized weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) approach. To reduce the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm within each iteration, we propose two additional techniques, iterative link removal and iterative user pool shrinking, which dynamically decrease the potential BS cluster size and user scheduling pool. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the system throughput as compared to the naive BS clustering strategy based on the channel strength.","PeriodicalId":420837,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 15th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134151223","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}

Traditionally, full power transmissions are used to satisfy the users' data rate demands, causing interference to neighboring cells. Cell breathing can reduce the total transmit power by adjusting the cell size to the traffic load, hence limiting interference. However, it requires full knowledge of the channel conditions and power allocation strategies of neighboring cells. Its implementation becomes more challenging in broadband heterogeneous networks due to the channel frequency selectivity, the power difference between base station types, and the required network coordination. Therefore, we propose a cell breathing approach for green heterogeneous networks, referred to as path loss-based cell breathing (PL-CB), which uses only path loss information to limit the interference caused to neighboring cells. It achieves a higher energy efficiency and a larger achievable rate region than other state-of-the-art techniques with negligible degradation with respect to the approach with full knowledge of the channel and transmit powers of neighboring cells.","PeriodicalId":420837,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 15th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133997666","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}
