To make the average energy efficiency (EE) of remote radio heads (RRHs) arbitrarily close to the optimum and maintain system queue stability, the EE optimization problem considering congestion control is presented. Under the Lyapunov framework, the problem is reformulated as an optimal network-wide beam-former design of RRHs, which is solved through a generalized weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) approach. The mathematical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that an EE-delay tradeoff can be achieved by the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"25 1","pages":"2727-2731"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77677390","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 situation a fixed transmission scheduling is difficult to apply. We propose uncoordinated communications using the concept of coded slotted ALOHA (CSA), where simultaneous transmitted signals are detected using iterative demapping (IDM) algorithm to improve the success rate probability. We allow each user to transmit the information via any random time slots (during the contention period) to the network. We show the bound of the proposed system and confirm an achievable point using practical coding. We also evaluate the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed technique via computer simulations. The results indicate that even though with the offered traffic of 1.11 packets/slot, reliable communications is achievable. It is also validated that the proposed system works very well even in relatively low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. Moreover, the packet-loss-rate (PLR) evaluation shows that the proposed technique outperforms the conventional CSA without simultaneous detection algorithm.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"70 1","pages":"2175-2180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86994688","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, by selectively scanning pixels on the image sensor, the sampling rate of CMOS APS pixels can be greatly improved, enabling them to capture high-bandwidth signals while maintaining the ability to scale to high image resolutions. To analyze CMOS APS image sensors for potential use in high data-rate applications, the CMOS active pixel is modeled as a linear shift-invariant (LSI) system. Using this LSI model, the frequency response (as a function of device and timing parameters) and the optimal exposure time for each sample are derived. The LSI model is also used to investigate the effects of clock-jitter on CMOS APS VLC receivers.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"4 1","pages":"1398-1403"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90142288","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 propose an iterative double auction mechanism that ensures the efficient operation of the market by maximizing the social welfare of the federation. The proposed scheme takes into account the particular characteristics of request outsourcing in cloud federation, such as the average response time requirement of CPs and the coupling of CPs' outsourcing decisions. Moreover, this scheme does not require the full information of CPs, and achieves a non-negative revenue for the broker.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1889-1894"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73522592","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 experimental results indicate that LTE-A MIMO processing support high-levels of crosstalk induced by internal interference. In addition, LTE-A 2×2 MIMO signals using high modulation formats (64QAM) tolerate 5 dB more crosstalk induced by external interference than corresponding SISO configuration. The performance of the LTE-A signals in a 4-core multicore fibre is analysed experimentally in terms of launched optical power, time and wavelength performance.

These make it one of the most challenging issues in D2D communication, which is how to achieve the best power-QoS tradeoff.

Antennas are organized in uniform planar arrays (UPAs). The proposed solution is based on estimation of a channel sub-matrix and exploits properties of the UPA model. In particular, we first organize UPA indices in a way that simplifies further processing, then we propose a training sequence that minimizes the number of RF chains. Lastly, rather than estimating the subchannel matrix itself we estimate parameters of its entries by an efficient post-processing technique based on a four dimensional Fourier transform that exploits properties of the UPA model.","PeriodicalId":6464,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW)","volume":"44 1","pages":"1251-1256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90623590","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}
