Mutual interference among coexisting users is one of the main performance bottlenecks in such dense deployment scenarios. A distributed transmission technique that can efficiently manage the interference in an uncoordinated dense small cell network is investigated in this work. The proposed interference aware scheme only requires instantaneous channel state information at the transmitter end towards the desired receiver. Motivated by penalty methods in optimisation studies, an interference dependent weighting factor is introduced to control the number of parallel transmission streams. The proposed scheme can outperform a more complex benchmark precoding scheme in terms of the sum network throughput in certain scenarios and with realistic channel estimation errors, while delivering close to the benchmark performance under general conditions.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"38 1","pages":"119-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88616557","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, this scheme introduces more interference so that a proper resource allocation strategy is needed to control the interference and guarantee the QoS for communication links. We propose a novel algorithm to conduct the resource allocation, which is formulated as a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem. Then the optimality condition of the algorithm is analyzed.

In this paper we investigate the capabilities of the awareness control algorithm proposed by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in ETSI EN 302 637-2 by comparing its performance with a traditional static periodic approach through a profound simulation study.

This paper characterizes the performance of FD self-backhauling for both downlink and uplink transmissions in a two-tier macrocell-small cell network and compares it against half-duplex (HD) selfbackhauling. The performance of small cell base stations (SBSs) with adaptive FD scheme that switches between HD and FD modes depending on the network parameters such as the distance of backhaul link (i.e., link between the macrocell base station and SBS), SI cancellation value at the SBS, and the distance of the served user from the SBS is then numerically analyzed for two different user selection schemes used by the SBS.

It considers power diversity MPR, based on interference cancellation (IC) techniques, and time/frequency spreading MPR, such as code division multiple access or network diversity multiple access. The FDX coverage range is related with the FDX SIC attenuation. It is shown that the aggregate throughput can be increased by a factor P + 1 for P MTs when IC-based MPR is used for short range communications, but broader ranges require other less efficient MPR approaches.

In this paper, we formulate an accurate EE metric for cooperative two-hop systems that use the amplify-and-forward relaying scheme. Different from the existing research that assumes the availability of perfect channel state information (CSI) at the communication cooperative nodes, we assume a practical scenario, where training pilots are used to estimate the channels. The estimated CSI can be used to adapt the available resources of the proposed system in order to maximize the EE. Two estimation strategies are assumed namely disintegrated channel estimation, which assumes the availability of channel estimator at the relay, and cascaded channel estimation, where the relay is not equipped with channel estimator and only forwards the received pilot(s) in order to let the destination estimate the cooperative link. The channel estimation cost is reflected on the EE metric by including the estimation error in the signal-to-noise term and considering the energy consumption during the estimation phase. Based on the formulated EE metric, we propose an energy-aware power allocation algorithm to maximize the EE of the cooperative system with channel estimation. Furthermore, we study the impact of the estimation parameters on the optimized EE performance via simulation examples.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"187 1","pages":"931-936"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75129929","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, cooperative spectrum sensing gives malicious users chances to interfere with its decision processes. If a mobile secondary user's energy detection results become unreliable, conventional trust-value based cooperative spectrum sensing algorithms, which are used to resist malicious attacks, cannot distinguish whether it's caused by a reliable user moving into a deep-fading area or it attacking maliciously. This is the main reason why the detection performances of conventional algorithms are terribly bad when secondary users are mobile. This paper proposes a trust-value based cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm aiming at mobile secondary users. We divide the whole region into cells according to different areas' actual channel conditions so that the detected results of users in any one of cells are very close to each other but those in different cells are quite different. Our proposed approach removes malicious users independently in each cell based upon their trust values. And larger weighting coefficients are given to cells with better channel conditions. Then this paper analyzes the effects of the average velocity of secondary users on the detection performance. Simulation results show that when secondary users are mobile, the detection performance of our algorithm is much better than that of conventional trust-value based cooperative spectrum sensing algorithms proposed for static secondary users and is better than that of a trusted collaborative spectrum sensing for mobile cognitive radio networks based upon location reliability and malicious intention which also takes location channel differences into considerations.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"30 1","pages":"1635-1639"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74686458","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 devices communicate via a trusted relay which performs physical layer network coding (PNC), and multiple eavesdroppers are trying to intercept the device information. The beamforming design is based on minimizing mean square error of the D2D communication while employing signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) threshold constraints to prevent possible eavesdropping. The channel state information of the device-to-eavesdropper and relay-to-eavesdropper channels is imperfect at the devices and relay. The channel estimation errors are assumed with Gaussian Markov uncertainty model. Consequently, robust optimization problems are formulated considering the multiple access and broadcasting stages of the D2D communication. These problems are non-convex, and two algorithms are proposed to solve them.
