These nodes are able to convey more information in each transmission than those that forward single packets, by combining several received packets in a single coded packet. To transmit data, the nodes execute the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Thus, they compete for the access to the wireless channel and get equal transmission opportunities under high congestion. As a result, congested relay nodes will severely limit the performance of the network. In this paper, we investigate a backwards-compatible mechanism, called Reverse Direction DCF (RD-DCF), that allows relay nodes to transmit data upon successful reception of data. We analyze the performance limits of the proposed protocol with and without NC in terms of throughput and energy efficiency. The performance evaluation considers different traffic loads, packet lengths, and data rates. The results of this work show that the proposed RD-DCF+NC protocol can improve throughput and energy efficiency up to 335% when compared to legacy DCF.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"1218-1224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75190873","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}

Then, we propose a low-complexity receive antenna partition algoritinterference mitigationhm for WIET in massive MIMO systems with the consideration of interference mitigation.

Specifically, we characterize the network interference from FD-mode cells, and derive the HDHN throughput by accounting for AP spatial density, self-interference cancellation (IC) capability, and transmission power of APs and users. By quantifying the HDHN throughput, we present the effect of network parameters and the self-IC capability on the HDHN throughput, which shows the superiority of FD mode for larger AP densities (i.e., larger network interference and shorter communication distance) or higher self-IC capability.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"83 1","pages":"3635-3640"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73248238","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}

Those close deployed cameras will capture overlapping frames (OFs) and then transmit OFs in multiple video streams. With the viewpoint change from one stream to another, redundant OFs in the latter stream can be useless for a user. Moreover, the redundant transmission will increase with the number of users and result in severe bandwidth waste for both base stations and users. In order to reduce the redundant transmission of OFs and increase energy efficiency (EE), a new architecture Overlapping Reduced Multi-view Video Transmission (ORMVVT), which is based on User dependent Multi-view video Streaming for Multi-users (UMSM), is proposed for downlink transmission of MVV in small cell networks (SCNs). Then, a novel resource allocation model is introduced to help users achieve different data rates according to their Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Contrarily, for the simplicity of implementation, existing schemes can only support a single reception data rate for all users in a multicast group. Further, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the EE with the QoS constraint of services. Finally, a suboptimal QoS-aware Energy-efficient Multicast Resource Allocation scheme (QEMRA) is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. Numerical results show that the proposed low-complexity QEMRA scheme is able to get a close-to-optimal performance under general fading distributions.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"4478-4483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75519194","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}

Due to unstable wireless channels, the packet loss rate between sensor nodes might be high, especially in hostile environments. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish the malicious drop and normal packet loss. In this paper, we propose a Channel-aware deputation System (CRS) to identify selective forwarding misbehaviours from normal packet losses caused by poor channel quality or medium access collision. Specifically, CRS is based on normal packet loss estimation and neighbour monitoring. Each node maintains a reputation table to evaluate forwarding behaviours of its neighbours. Reputation value is determined by the deviation of the monitored packet loss rate and estimated normal loss rate. The nodes with reputation below a threshold are identified as misbehaving nodes and isolated from data forwarding paths. Furthermore, we develop weighted reputation propagation and integration functions to improve detection efficiency. Through theoretical analysis and extensive simulations, we demonstrate that CRS can accurately detect selective forwarding attacks and significantly improve the network throughput.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"180 1","pages":"330-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72586042","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}

Prior work has shown this for one-dimensional location estimation; however, the previous proof as presented is not easily extendable to multidimensional location estimation.

Different from prior works, we assume that the PU can be located anywhere inside an arbitrarily-shaped convex network region. Using the moment generating function (MGF) of the interference from a random SU, we derive general expressions for the n-th moment and the n-th cumulant of the aggregate interference for guard zone and multiple-threshold SU activity protocols. Using the cumulants, we study the convergence of the distribution of the aggregate interference to a Gaussian distribution. In addition, we compare the well-known closed-form distributions in the literature to approximate the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of the aggregate interference. Our results show that care must be undertaken in approximating the aggregate interference as a Gaussian distribution, even for a large number of SUs, since the convergence is not monotonie in general. In addition, the shifted lognormal distribution provides the overall best CCDF approximation, especially in the distribution tail region, for arbitrarily-shaped network regions.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"299302 1","pages":"961-966"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77884950","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}
