Our proposed scheme is based on the filter-and-forward (FF) relay beamforming approach and aims to maximize the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the secondary destination, while suppressing the interference introduced to the primary user. This scheme is further extended to accommodate a relay node output power constraint. Under certain conditions, the extended scheme can be transformed into two sub-schemes with lower computational complexity, where their closed-form solutions are derived.

Developing cost efficient backhaul solutions becomes an interesting, yet challenging, problem. Traditional technologies for backhaul networks include either radio-frequency backhauls (RF) or optical fibres (OF). While RF is a cost-effective solution as compared to OF, it supports lower data rate requirements. Another promising backhaul solution that may combine both a high data rate and a relatively low cost is the free-space optics (FSO). FSO, however, is sensitive to nature conditions (e.g., rain, fog, line-ofsight, etc.). A more reliable alternative is, therefore, to combine RF and FSO solutions through a hybrid structure called hybrid RF/FSO. Consider a backhaul network, where the base-stations (BS) can be connected to each other either via OF or hybrid RF/FSO backhaul links. The paper addresses the problem of minimizing the cost of backhaul planning under connectivity and data rates constraints, so as to choose the appropriate costeffective backhaul type between BSs (i.e., either OF or hybrid RF/FSO). The paper solves the problem using graph theory techniques by introducing the corresponding planning graph. It shows that under a specified realistic assumption about the cost of OF and hybrid RF/FSO links, the problem is equivalent to a maximum weight clique problem, which can be solved with moderate complexity. Simulation results show that our proposed solution shows a close-to-optimal performance, especially for practical prices of the hybrid RF/FSO.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"90 1","pages":"7-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80441245","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 first propose an online method to dynamically estimate the effective rate of video flows, which is the rate the network should support in order to provide a satisfactory quality of experience. Second, traffic engineering methods taking into account characteristics of video flows are presented. Third, a radio coordination method to provide stable video rate across cells is discussed. Fourth, we give a fountain coding scheme to support mobile video users. The proposed solutions are investigated in an ultra-dense small cell network simulator.

Therefore a 3D channel model is required for an accurate evaluation of MIMO performance. The MIMO system can also be deployed at the user terminal according to the LTE-Advanced system specifications. Therefore, this study exploits the elevation dimension at the user equipment (UE) MIMO receiver and proposes an antenna switching strategy to achieve the highest performance among the MIMO spatial streams. This study is considered as one of the solutions toward boosting MIMO capacity and enhancing end user experience for 5G systems. The study considers different types of user handsets such as smartphone and tablet where different scenarios of antennas placements are implemented and different number of antennas elements are deployed. The consideration of the 3D component in the modelling of the MIMO channels results in performance differences in the MIMO system in terms of ergodic capacity and spatial correlation as the handset rotates. The paper suggests the best arrangement of antenna elements for the UE handset manufacturers to achieve the highest channel capacity when exploiting the elevation plane.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1281-1285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81373993","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, phase noise is significant due to the high oscillation frequency, which affects channel estimation and deteriorates the bit-error-rate (BER) performance. This paper emphasizes that phase noise may be estimated in the frequency domain, and a scheme with iterative channel estimation and phase noise compensation is proposed for single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) based mmWave systems. We achieve channel estimation by calculating small perturbations iteratively with the first-order approximation. For signal demodulation, we adopt an iterative receiver to compensate phase noise with the decision feedback result. Comprehensive simulations demonstrate that our scheme achieves competitive performance and outperforms the traditional methods, in terms of both mean square error (MSE) in channel estimation and BER in signal demodulation.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"53 1","pages":"2133-2138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78834978","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 the proposed scenario, the satellite and the terrestrial components use the same band (primary users) and a group of secondary users (sensors or mobile users) want to dynamically share the spectrum without harmful interference on primary user (PU). The satellite can also report measures provided by the group of secondary users to a remote center in an area where the mobile coverage it is difficult to extend or for emergency situations. The joint use of multiple antennas at each CR node and cooperative cognitive radio scheme is analyzed to improve the performance of the conventional energy detector (ED) and to increase the reliability in PU detection. A coordination center (CC) takes the final decision based on the detections carried out by all the CRS. Moreover, the CC can manage a strategy to allow equal and fare share of the radio resources to the group of CR nodes. The use of improved energy detector based on the average power of received samples is also analyzed. Simulation results show that the use of cooperation and MIMO technologies improves the detection even at low value of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a trade off-it is necessary among the number of multiple antennas, the number of samples and the spectrum usage efficiency and the level of interference on the PU.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"199 1","pages":"1617-1622"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75981717","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}
