Conventionally, relays are used as jammer to reduce the signal quality received by the eavesdroppers so as to increase the secrecy transmission rate between the legitimate transmitter and receiver. This is referred to as cooperative jamming (CJ). In a system equipped with a FD receiver, we propose to use the FD receiver as the jammer, i.e., the FD receiver simultaneously transmits jamming signals toward the eavesdropper while receiving data from the transmitter. The proposed scheme eliminates the need for external helpers, i.e., jamming relays which is welcome from practical point of view. We consider different scenarios to compare the proposed scheme against the CJ scheme in which, under a legitimate transmitter power constraint, optimal power allocation is obtained for each scenario to maximize the secrecy rate. To take into account the impact of imperfect state information of the channels between the eavesdropper and other nodes on the network, worst-case optimization approaches are considered. Simulation results demonstrate that for certain positions of the jamming relay and eavesdropper, the proposed system can outperform the conventional CJ schemes.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"25 1","pages":"497-502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86091494","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 solutions have been proposed to compensate the age related physical limitations and to guarantee autonomy and safety to the elderly people, allowing them to continue their life in their own environment. There are several open issues to solve in order to enable the practical implementation of these solutions. One of them regards the intrinsic difficulties to create a network between a personal smartphone and the correct physiological sensors, in the presence of multiple sensor devices, where the automatic choice of the correct sensor is not obvious. In this paper we propose a solution to this problem, based on an automatic pairing that relies on the instantaneous variability of the heart rate of each subject. We evaluate the technique by collecting real data and showing some promising performance accuracy results, opening new research opportunities in this area.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"3 1","pages":"294-299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82631522","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}

Recent developments with small cells and multiple antennas have further improved the capacity of the radio channel through high density frequency reuse. Such techniques achieve an increase in capacity (i.e. number of users and their traffic) that is linearly proportional to the number of additional antennas and the associated cells or cell sectors. However, as the volume of users and their traffic increases there is a need for a massive increase in system capacity. Examples of such massive traffic loads include stadiums and similar events attended by large crowds of connected users. In this paper we outline concepts of radio aperture synthesis and illustrate their application to a high density communications scenario. The aperture synthesis approach augments the engineering of multiple individual radio links with an arrangement of massively parallel cells (MPC). The advantage of the aperture synthesis technique for communications systems is that very high frequency reuse can be achieved and the system capacity increases approximately as the square of the number of antennas in the synthesis array.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"2151-2156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82920906","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 advantage of cooperative broadcast over multihop transmission has been well studied for both high-density and extended 2-D networks. We analyze high-density 1-D networks, and approximate them as a continuum of nodes. Our analysis shows that the broadcast behavior depends on three different regimes of the pathloss exponent and the type of transmission (being bidirectional or unidirectional). We present analytical expressions for successful broadcasting as a function of source and relay powers, decoding threshold and the noise power. We also compare cooperative and noncooperative broadcast in terms of power efficiency and show that cooperative broadcast is substantially more efficient under bidirectional transmission; however it is power inefficient if the transmission is unidirectional.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"124 1","pages":"2181-2186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86575925","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 addition, each user will attempt to connect to the macro base station or one of the available small cell access points. Moreover, it is assumed that there exist strict transmission power constraints on each transmitting node and each user. Accordingly, a joint resource allocation problem which maximizes the aggregate network's throughput by considering mode selection, user pairing, subcarrier allocation and power control is proposed. Additionally, the performance of our proposed scheme is evaluated indicating the effects of different system parameters on the system performance.

In this paper, we motivate and introduce a new approach for analyzing localization performance in cellular networks using tools from point process theory and stochastic geometry.

However, so far, there are no regulatory requirements for the coexistence among heterogenous secondary networks over TVWS. Hence, their mutual interference can be very severe. This issue is even more crucial in urban Smart Grid scenarios, where the latency and energy requirements are very tight and multiple Neighborhood Area Networks (NANs) are likely to be located within the same geographical area. Hence, in this paper, the problem of the interference among multiple NANs is addressed with the objective to maximize the achievable data rate. To this aim, the Gateway senses the TVWS channel declared available from incumbents by the WSDB to discover the presence of an interfering NAN. If the sensing declares the TVWS channel as idle, the Gateway can transmit over such a channel. Otherwise, the Gateway uses the ISM channel. Within the paper, the choice of the sensing duration maximizing the achievable data rate at the Gateway, by explicitly accounting for the accuracy/overhead trade-off and the co-located NANs traffic patterns, is addressed. Numerical results validate the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"28 1","pages":"568-572"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83439250","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 reduce the communication overhead and computational complexity, the algorithm passes approximate beliefs represented by Gaussian distributions between neighbours and uses an analytical approximation to compute peer-to-peer messages.
