However, in some cases, such management networks are the only option due to the target location of such testbeds: outdoors, on light posts, buildings, etc. In this paper, we analyze the design trade-offs encountered when designing a wireless management network for testbeds based on constrained devices. First, we identify two use cases and the functionality needed by the management network in supporting them. Next, we discuss ways of providing the desired functionality and illustrate the decisions we took for designing and implementing the management network for the extension of the LOG-a-TEC testbed together with an initial evaluation. The analysis and the adopted decisions resulted in a management network that is separated from the experimental network providing improved application throughput, together with smaller application level updates/reconfiguration size that significantly shorten the time required to set up a new experiment.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"51 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116831490","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 explores various EMF exposure scenarios, identifies resources for EMF assessment and techniques for its reduction, and paves the way for future validation of proposed techniques. Available cellular technologies, current traffic conditions and user context, including services used, are main points to be taken into account, as will be shown using preliminary measurement results, which justify our initial assumptions and illustrate the complexity of the subject matter.

It formulates the beacon-placement problem as a dilution-minimization problem with additional tradeoff between uncovered areas and over radio-coverage areas.

In this paper, we consider a medium-traffic primary network, in which the PU changes its state (either idle or active) at most once during the frame time. This instability degrades the detection performance of SUs as well as their transmission throughput. We first try to find a suitable distribution for observed energy of the received primary signal by SUs in order to analyze the transmission throughput of the secondary network with added reliability. We then introduce the throughput expression of this particular CRN, and evaluate it under some required detection constraints, using cooperative spectrum sensing over imperfect reporting channels. The throughput analysis will be conducted for both single- and double-threshold schemes.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"46 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121193235","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 compare the legacy frequency with the recently proposed 800 MHz band because of its enhanced propagation characteristics in indoor and outdoor environments. The performance of Radio Access Network (RAN) in the Random Access Channel (RACH) in a macro-cell environment is evaluated by considering the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) level for each device and the limited resources in the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). We analyze the effect of a number of system parameters on the M2M device performance. Our study shows that operating at the 800 MHz band is a tradeoff between access success probability and average access delay. The results show higher access success probability offered by 800 MHz as compared to the legacy 2.4 GHz, while the lower band results in higher average access delay.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128763297","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}

Through an asymptotic analysis of the outage probabilities, we prove that both schemes achieve the same diversity order that is equal to the product of the number of transmit apertures, number of receive apertures and a channel related parameter. We also prove that the superiority of the transmit laser selection scheme over the repetition coding scheme resides in a coding gain that we quantify analytically in this work.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128850573","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 most used approach is based on the power spectral density where the out-of-band radiation of the interfering signal is computed.

The analysis conducted in this paper reveals that due to the specific FBMC/OQAM transmission format the system has to deal with inter-user, inter-symbol and inter-carrier interference to solve the resource allocation problem. To manage the interference, the successive channel allocation method, originally proposed for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), has been modified by organizing subcarriers in groups and assigning subcarriers to users in a block-wise fashion. Following this strategy and making some approximations we demonstrate that it is possible to pose a single problem that is valid for OFDM and FBMC/OQAM. In this case, numerical results show that FBMC/OQAM is more energy-efficient than OFDM because it requires less power to transmit the same information rate.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127266291","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, this requires high backhaul capacity. If the backhaul requirement cannot be met by the system, then CoMP gains decrease as the linear precoder matrix must be adjusted to include zeros. To minimize the loss of CoMP gains, all elements in the precoder should be adjusted as zeros are added to the precoder. We here propose a low complexity method for adjusting a precoder matrix when some elements are required to be zero, with respect to a robust MSE criterion. This is done by introducing penalties on specific precoder matrix elements. This generalized MSE criterion can then be used as a low complexity tool for optimizing e.g. with respect to sum-rate. Results show that this does indeed provide a better solution than if zeros are added separately. It is especially beneficial for cell edge users, i.e. for the same users that can gain the most from JT CoMP.","PeriodicalId":431852,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131082521","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}
