The objective is to minimize the overall SU system power consumption (over several orthogonal frequency bands) under minimum Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, maximum peak and average interference to the PUs constraints. The main challenge lies in the non-convexity of the problem because of the discrete spectrum scheduling policies. We overcome this issue by considering a simpler and convex problem based on Lagrangian relaxation. It turns out that, this problem has discrete solutions which are the optimal solutions to our initial non-convex problem. We propose an iterative sub-gradient algorithm to compute the optimal solution, when it exists, assuming that the channels are drawn randomly. In the case of symmetric systems, this algorithm is not suitable. Therefore, we study such a case for which we give an analytical solution. Several numerical results that sustain and give insight into the resolution of this problem are also provided.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"24 1","pages":"399-404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80419254","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 identify a problem of undesirable non-innovative packet transmission due to the latency of buffer-map update among peers, which, with many previous proposed techniques, yields to bandwidth inefficiencies. In the proposed system, we present an optimized packet scheduling algorithm for forecasting the number of required packets at parent nodes in advance, a selection mechanism for selecting and encoding packets for forwarding, and an adaptive push algorithm for smart frame skipping. The proposed optimized packet scheduling algorithm calculates the minimum number of required packets for full rate transmission. Transmitting as the scheduled results can reduce non-innovative packet transmission, save limited bandwidth for innovative transmission, thereby improving the streaming continuity. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides significantly better video quality, delivery ratio, lower redundancy rate, and higher innovative video packet rate compared with previous packet scheduling algorithms.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"73 1","pages":"1515-1520"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79153462","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 investigate secure communication over a multi-antenna wiretap channel in the presence of randomly distributed eavesdroppers. In the fast fading environment, the overall performance of this channel is traditionally characterized by the ergodic secrecy capacity, which, in general, cannot be derived explicitly. Nevertheless, based on the assumption that the numbers of antennas at legitimate terminals and the number of eavesdroppers grow large without bound, we derive a deterministic approximation of an achievable ergodic secrecy rate for arbitrary inputs. In addition, we characterize the secrecy rates for practically relevant separate-decoding scheme at the receiver. We validate the proposed large-system approximation through numerical simulations and observe a good match with the actual secrecy rates. Finally, we also analyze some interesting behavior of the secrecy rates in the given scenario depending on the geometry of the nodes.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"7 1","pages":"480-484"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85096572","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}

To this end, we consider a recently proposed novel MAC protocol called the Renewal Access Protocol (RAP) in this paper. With the RAP, we consider two strategies for resolving collisions efficiently and achieving high throughput performance in a super dense WLAN: strategies without and with grouping. First, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the RAP itself (i.e., without grouping) as the number of terminals goes to infinity. We show that the RAP can achieve optimal throughput even in a super dense WLAN and the related optimal access probability of the RAP can be derived in a closed-form from the analysis. Second, we propose a new grouping strategy in the RAP and call it the grouped RAP (G-RAP). While a grouping strategy in the IEEE 802.11ah standard is based on time division, which can cause a waste of channel, our grouping strategy is based on transmission attempts, which does not waste channel resources. From the analysis we show that the G-RAP easily achieves the optimal network throughput performance for any group structure (i.e., unform group size and arbitrary group size) if terminals use the optimal access probability that we derive. Our analytical results are validated by simulation.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"4 1","pages":"2194-2199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85203614","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}

PU change their activity state (ON/OFF) independently of the SUs, and an energy-based sensing performance model is considered. This paper proposes a new analytical model for the SU's delay and throughput which, contrarily to the existing models, considers the effect of the duration of the PU's ON state in the SUs delay. The model is validated through simulations, and the optimal p value is calculated for different scenarios.

It is assumed that the DSA assigns spectrum bands to three kinds of prioritized traffic, the traffic of the primary network, the Class 1 traffic and Class 2 traffic of the secondary network. Possessing the licensed spectrum, the primary traffic has the highest access priority and can access the spectrum bands at anytime. The secondary Class 1 traffic has higher priority compared to secondary Class 2 traffic. In this system, a channel reservation scheme is deployed to control spectrum access of the traffic. Specifically, the optimal number of reservation channels is applied to minimize the forced termination probability of the secondary traffic while satisfying a predefined blocking probability of the primary network. To investigate the system performance, we model state transitions of the DSA as a multi-dimensional Markov chain with three-state variables representing the number of primary, Class 1, and Class 2 packets in the system. Based on this chain, important performance measures, i.e., blocking probability and forced termination probability are derived for the Class 1 and Class 2 secondary traffic.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"50 1","pages":"883-888"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85813417","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}
