The proposed algorithm, termed soft-input soft-output successive group (SSG) detector, detects a subset of symbols successively with an aid of the preprocessing designed to suppress the inter-group interference. In fact, the proposed preprocessor mitigates the effect of interfering symbol groups using a priori information of the undetected groups and a posteriori information of the detected groups. Simulation results performed on large-scale multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems demonstrate that the proposed SSG detector achieves significant complexity reduction over the conventional approaches with negligible performance loss.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"115 1","pages":"4792-4796"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79111538","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 MM-Slepian dictionary has a very large scale and corresponds to a large-scale measurement matrix, which leads to high recovery computational complexity. This paper resolves the above problem by modulating and band-limiting the multiband signal rather than modulating the Slepian basis. Specifically, instead of using the MM-Slepian dictionary to represent the whole multiband signal, we propose to use the non-modulated Slepian basis to represent the modulated and band-limited version of the multiband signal based on the recently proposed Modulated Wideband Converter (MWC). Furthermore, based on the analytical derivation with the non-modulated Slepian basis, we propose an Interpolation Recovery (IR) algorithm to take full advantage of the Slepian basis, whereas the Direct Recovery (DR) algorithm using the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse cannot achieve this. Simulation results verify that, with low recovery computational load, the non-modulated Slepian basis combined with the IR algorithm improves the recovery SNR by up to 35 dB compared with the DFT basis in noise-free environment.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"89 1","pages":"4941-4945"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83381376","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}

Many efforts focus on exploiting the benefits of CC among multiple source-destination pairs with an unrealistic assumption that each of them communicates over a dedicated channel without interference. In this paper, we investigate the transmission scheduling problem for multiple source-destination pairs under the assistance of a set of dedicated relay nodes on a single channel. By applying the protocol interference model, we propose a concept of cooperative link to characterize the interference regions of CC. Due to the NP-completeness of optimal scheduling, LP (linear programming) based heuristic algorithms are proposed to maximize the minimum transmission rate under a given relay assignment. Then, without specifying a relay node for each source-destination pair, we study the max-min rate problem by jointly considering transmission scheduling and relay assignment. Heuristic algorithms are proposed to solve this more challenging problem. Finally, extensive simulations are conducted to show that the proposed algorithm outperforms direct transmission substantially.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"6338-6342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81202183","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 this context, the TDD protocol and the resulting channel reciprocity have two compelling advantages. First, a large number of BS antennas can be deployed without incurring a prohibitive overhead for channel training. Second, the BS can estimate the interference covariance matrix from the SC tier which can be leveraged for downlink precoding. In particular, the BS designs its precoding vectors to transmit independent data streams to its users while being orthogonal to the subspace spanned by the strongest interference directions; thereby minimizing the sum interference imposed on the SCs. In other words, the BS “sacrifices” some of its antennas for interference cancellation while the TDD protocol allows for an implicit coordination across both tiers. Simulation results suggest that, given a sufficiently large number of BS antennas, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the sum-rate of the SC tier at the price of a small macro performance loss.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"5442-5447"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88733950","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}

Due to prohibitive costs to collect enough realistic contact recodes, to the best of our knowledge, little experiment work has been conducted to study the opportunistic contact patterns in large scale urban vehicular mobility environment. In this work, we carry out an extensive experiment involving tens of thousands of operational taxis in Beijing city. Based on studying this newly collected Beijing trace and the existing Shanghai trace, we find some invariant characteristics of the opportunistic contacts for large scale urban VDTN. Specifically, in terms of contact duration, we find that there exists a characteristic time point, up to which and including at least 80% of the distribution, the contact duration obeys an exponential distribution, while beyond which it decays as a power law one. This property is in sharp contrast to the recent empirical data studies based on human mobility, where the contact duration exhibits a power law distribution. In terms of contact interval, we find that its distribution can be modelled by a three-segmented distribution, and there exists a characteristic time point, up to which the contact interval obeys a power law distribution, while beyond which it decays as an exponential one. Our observations thus reveal fundamental patterns for large scale vehicular mobility, and further provide useful guidelines for the design of new urban VDTN' routing protocols and their performance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"208 1","pages":"1646-1650"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89332489","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 then propose an interference cancelling scheme based on a frequency domain interference canceller (FDIC) that utilizes the common mode (CM) PLC interference to estimate and remove the differential mode (DM) PLC interference. The mean square error (MSE) of the proposed FDIC is derived and compared to the minimum MSE achieved by an optimum Wiener filter. Improvement in the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) achieved by using the FDIC is also presented.

A representative design of data-centric networking is CCN (Content-Centric Networking), which routes packets within a network based on their content identifiers. CCN is basically designed to be open because ease of data reuse is one of the greatest advantages of data-centric networking. However, being used for real-world networking, completely open data-centric networking is not sufficient. It is required to realize closed communication within a group of users. In this paper, we propose Virtual Content-Centric Networking (VCCN), which realizes closed communication within a group of users with CCN router virtualization. This paper presents four building blocks of VCCN: extension of the content identifier, CCN router virtualization, packet transport between virtualized CCN routers, and Social Network Services cooperative user/group identification. Moreover, we implemented VCCN's basic features by extending the CCNx software and performed a preliminary performance evaluation of our VCCN implementation.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"3476-3480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87311777","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 probability of false alarm and the probability of miss detection required in this data-fusion rule are quite difficult to precisely enumerate in practice. Although the improved data-fusion implementation techniques are available, most existing cooperative spectrum-sensing techniques are still based on the simple energy-detection algorithm, which is prone to failure in many scenarios. In our previous paper, we proposed a novel adaptive cooperative spectrum-sensing scheme based on Jarque-Bera (JB) statistics. However, the commonly-used sample-average estimator for the cumulative weights becomes unreliable in time-varying environments. To overcome this drawback, in this paper, we adopt a temporal discount factor, which is crucial to the probability estimators. New theoretical analysis to justify the advantage of our proposed new estimators over the conventional sample-average estimators and to determine the optimal numerical value of the proposed discount factor is presented. The Monte Carlo simulation results are also provided to demonstrate the superiority of our proposed adaptive cooperative spectrum sensing method in time-varying environments.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"2617-2621"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87355427","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}
