The presence of asynchronous secondary users introduces potential multiple access interference (MAI) to each primary user's receiver. The strength of the MAI is determined by the secondary users' transmission powers, and their distances and frequency separations to the primary user. Expressions for the primary user's pairwise error probability and average probability of error are derived, and an error floor prediction method is presented. Finally, the trade-off between the MAI to the primary user and the secondary users' performances are investigated through numerical examples and simulations.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75789891","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, combining many regex patterns into a single DFA causes a serious state explosion. Partitioning the pat-tern set into several subsets, each of which produces a small DFA, is a practical way to deflate the state explosion. In this paper, we propose a regex pattern grouping scheme based on a new DFA model called Pattern-Based DFA (P-DFA) which supports efficient pattern-based op-erations, such as insertion, deletion, and etc. By using these basic operations, one can easily measure the state explo-sion when combining a set of regex patterns into a single DFA. Based on the privilege, we develop regex grouping algorithms for mitigating the state explosion in parallel and sequential matching environments, respectively. The evaluation shows that under the same constraints, our ap-proach requires only half the number of groups compared with the most well-known algorithms.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75812228","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 paper, we propose an efficient cooperative caching scheme known as CacheRescue for wireless mesh networks. The CacheRescue scheme caches data in the mesh routers expandable storage space to hold valid but evicted data items. We have used simulation to evaluate the performance of CacheRescue scheme.

As multimedia applications require specific quality of service (QoS) guarantees, supporting multimedia applications to secondary users over a CR network is a challenging task due to the random nature of resource availability. In this paper, we consider a secondary system operating over a timeslotted primary system with multiple channels and secondary users accessing the channels at the spectrum holes without interfering with primary users. We derive the voice capacity of the CR system based on the theories of effective bandwidth (EB) and effective capacity (EC). The capacity is represented in terms of the number of simultaneous independent voice calls that the system can support, providing stochastic delay guarantee. It is shown that (i) the analytical results match well with simulation results and stays slightly lower than the simulation results due to the conservative nature of the EB and EC theories, and (ii) the mean duration of channel being unavailable to secondary users has a significant impact on the system capacity. With proper medium access control, this analysis can help to develop a call admission control policy for QoS provisioning in CR networks.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74743566","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}

Firstly, the existing distributed power control schemes are categorized as two types: gradient projection type and non-linear type, according to the iterative steps. A unified mathematical formulation is then provided for each type. The objective is extended from rate maximization, which has been studied a lot in iterative water-filling game, to more general form of utility function. Based on it, a set of sufficient conditions are derived for each type of the schemes, guaranteeing the uniqueness of the fixed point and the global convergence in a totally asynchronous manner. These convergence requirements can be interpreted as different degree of separation, according to the concrete form of utility function.

The performance of a receiver consisting of a maximum-likelihood detector with QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRM-MLD) is exploited, by employing irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code as the channel code. The threaded distribution of each coded information sub-stream in the proposed LSTF makes it to achieve the spatial, temporal and frequency diversities the same as the conventional single-encoder LSTF where coding is applied across the whole information stream, and simulation results show that the performance of the proposed multiple-encoder LSTF architecture is very close to that of the conventional single-encoder LSTF. However, due to the use of multiple parallel encoders/decoders with a shorter codeword length, the proposed LSTF architecture has much lower hardware processing speed and complexity than the conventional LSTF.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73067903","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 particular, an increasing number of new telephony services now involves both packet-switched (IP telephony) and circuit-switched (PSTN telephony) voice legs in one call session. One common problem that arises for enabling such new services is the need for synchronization of voice streams that traverse through heterogeneous telephony systems. In this paper, we first identify the key role of voice synchronization across heterogeneous telephony systems for services such as seamless handover between WLAN and cellular networks and multi-party audio conferencing with video overlay. We then explain the challenges in synchronizing circuit-switched and packet-switched voice streams, including codec distortion, packet losses, line noises, and overlapping utterances. To achieve voice synchronization, we proceed to investigate three different approaches based on digital speech processing techniques in the waveform, cepstrum, and spectrum domains. Finally, we compare the performance benefits and tradeoffs of different approaches, thus motivating further research along this direction.","PeriodicalId":6405,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75696137","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}
