The physical layer uplink transmission is based on single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) with frequency-domain equalization (FDE). Unlike orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) where the users achievable rate is the summation of the rates on all allocated subcarriers, achievable rate of SC-FDMA system has a more complex expression because the subcarriers are transmitted sequentially rather than in parallel. With the joint superposition coding for cooperative relaying, we derive the expressions of the achievable rate for both zero-forcing (ZF) equalization and minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization. Numerical results are given to verify the derived uplink achievable rates.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"4168-4173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88160421","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}

For scalability concern, in recent literature a novel approach, namely devolved controllers, was proposed. Such approach splits the network into regions, while each controller only monitors a portion of the traffic. This technique alleviates scalability issue, but brings other critical problems, such as unbalanced work load among controllers and reconfiguration complexities. In this paper, we investigate the usage of devolved controllers for large-scale data centers, and design a new scheme to overcome shortcomings, and to improve system performance. We first define Load Balancing problem for Devolved Controllers (LBDC), and prove its NP-completeness. For LBDC, we design an f-approximation, where f is the largest number of potential controllers for a switch in the network. We also propose both centralized and distributed approaches to solve LBDC time effectively. The numerical results validate our designs, which become a solution to manage and coordinate large-scale data centers.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"96 1","pages":"2258-2263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82011061","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}

One of the key technical challenges to successful commercialization of these large bandwidth systems is power consumption. In this paper, we focus on reducing the idle listening mode power consumption where the device is actively looking for packets and the power consumption is dominated by the high speed ADCs. We propose a low power and bandwidth-scalable synchronization design for large bandwidth systems by developing reduced bandwidth modes in high-speed ADCs used in such systems. We study the impact of the proposed synchronization design on the detection probability, false alarm, AGC design and symbol timing estimation. Comparisons of our design using a bandwidth reduction of 4 with the existing IEEE 802. Had synchronization design show no loss in AWGN and a 0.8 dB loss in fading for an equivalent acquisition time and false alarm rate while providing a 33% power reduction in idle mode, assuming the ADCs consume 50% of the total idle power consumption. We also provide backward compatibility with current IEEE 802.11ad systems with limited impact on performance and power consumption.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"54 1","pages":"3418-3423"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90820853","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}

Keeping EVs charged and ready to go will require a tight integration and coordination of an infrastructure of equipment connected to the power grid for vehicle charging and a new IT management system for monitoring, analyzing and controlling the vehicle charging. Smart grid technologies have brought opportunities to solve challenges in the EV ecosystem. Both academia and industry have been seeking technologies and applications to optimize an EV driver's driving cost. However, it still remains an open problem of how to handle the driving demand uncertainty and the electricity price uncertainty for EV charging. To address this challenge, we model the driving cost minimization problem and formulate it as an optimization problem. While the driver demand and the electricity price are varying with time, we leverage the Model Predictive Control (MPC) based method to design a dynamic charging (controlling when to charge and how much to charge) and driving (controlling the switching between electric driven mode and gasoline driven mode during the driving process) control scheme. Performance evaluation results demonstrate the effectiveness and cost efficiency of our approach.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"84 1","pages":"2709-2714"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90830423","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 calibration of a massive MIMO system can be done entirely at the base station (BS) side by sounding the BS antennas one-by-one while receiving with the other BS antennas. With an M antenna BS, this generates M(M - 1) signals that can be used for calibration purposes. In this paper we study several least-squares (LS) based estimators, differing in the number of received signals that are being used. We compare the performance of the estimators, and we conclude that is possible to accurately calibrate an entire BS antenna array using the mutual coupling between antennas as the main propagation mechanism.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"74 1","pages":"3708-3712"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90842779","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 users are supposed to share the channel via Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). In many existing works, it is commonly assumed that the users' energy harvesting processes and storage status are known to all the users before transmissions. In practice, such knowledge may not be readily available. To avoid excessive overhead for realtime information exchange, we consider the scenario where the users schedule their individual transmissions according to the users' statistical energy harvesting profiles. We first show that in the case when each node has an infinite-capacity battery, equal-power TDMA is optimal for throughput maximization. Using Markov chain modeling, we then study the system performance for the finite-capacity battery case under the equal-power TDMA framework. We also consider an equal-time TDMA scheme, which assigns equal-length subslots to each user. It is found that equal-power TDMA always outperforms equal-time TDMA in the infinite-capacity battery case, while equal-time TDMA exhibits compatible or even slightly better performance in some scenarios when the batteries have finite capacities.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"4801-4806"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90465791","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}

Under the IPC and the individual transmit power constraint (TPC) imposed on each SU, we investigate the power allocation strategies to maximize the sum-rate of the C-MAC without successive interference cancellation (SIC). We prove that the optimal solution must be at the extreme points of the feasible region. We show that Dynamic Time Division Multiple Access (D-TDMA) is optimal with high probability when the number of SUs is large.

Since the subcarriers see different channel gains in a frequency-selective channel, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the codeword must be selected based on the vector of signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) of these subcarriers. Exponential effective SNR mapping (EESM) simplifies this problem by mapping the vector of SNRs into a single, equivalent flat-fading SNR. We develop a new analytical framework to characterize the throughput of EESM-based rate adaptation in such wideband channels in the presence of feedback delays, which make the choice of the MCS partially outdated by the time data transmission takes place. To this end, we first propose a novel bivariate gamma distribution to model the joint statistics of EESM at the times of estimation and data transmission. We then derive a novel expression for the throughput as a function of feedback delay. Our framework works for both correlated and independent subcarriers and for various multiple antenna diversity modes, and is accurate over a wide range of delays.","PeriodicalId":6492,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"3952-3957"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78289712","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}
