It will be shown that the soft information extracted in the form of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) by taking into account a dominant cell-to-cell interference term provides significant performance improvements when the error-control system is designed with an error-correcting code with iterative decoding algorithm, e.g. low-density parity-check (LDPC) code with the Belief-Propagation (BP) algorithm. To confirm the claims, we design error-control systems with a conventional Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) code and an LDPC code with/without the soft information extraction. Performances of the systems are extensively evaluated and compared, which clearly shows that the soft information extraction based on the cell-to-cell interference model leads to a considerably better performance.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

However, in order to get the benefit of PAPR, it requires a contiguous assignment of resource blocks to a single user. In this paper, we suggest heuristic algorithm for proportional fair (PF) scheduling which is known to be NP-hard problem. Under the contiguity constraint, conventional heuristic algorithms assign resource block to a user who has the highest metric and keep on doing assignment according to greedy selection but without any examination of prior selected choice. Our work differs from the conventional works in considering user selection based on PF metric difference and comparison of marginal scheduling metric for examination of selected choice. In simulation results, we demonstrated that the proposed scheme shows better fairness in terms of CDF of normalized throughput and Jain's fairness index.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

The main idea of I2NC is to protect against packet loss by introducing additional redundancy via intra-session coding. However, the amount of redundancy depends on the quality of overhearing links. The poorer an overhearing link is, the less fraction of information is overheard, which results in a potential increase of redundancy needed. While lower transmission rate promises better link quality, it also means lower throughput. Motivated by this, we study the impact of transmission rates on network throughput and formulate the rate selection into an optimization problem. Also, we investigate the flow partition for the inter-session coding. In other words, we consider which sessions would be grouped together through network coding to improve the throughput. We aim to design a joint rate and partition selection in a wireless star network, so as to maximize the network throughput. We prove that finding the optimal joint rate selection and flow partition is NP-hard. An efficient heuristic algorithm is proposed for the networks with heterogenous rates and sessions that can be grouped together for the inter-session network coding. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves throughput gains of up to 185% as compared to what is gained with a rate-unaware I2NC scheme.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

The main contributions of the proposed scheme include: 1) based on time series analysis theory, the prediction model of Layer 3 (L3) filtered reference signal received power (RSRP) is constructed to activate L3 handover prior to Layer 2 (L2) handover procedure; 2) in order to improve the reliability and robustness of the L3 prediction model, a two-priority handover trigger event evaluation method is designed, where the classical and prediction handover trigger event evaluation parts co-exist, and the former is prior to the latter; 3) the relationship between defined prediction handover gain (PHG) and the probability of false handover prediction trigger is derived. In simulations, to evaluate the robustness of the proposed scheme, a module of UEs' movement pattern is designed, considering characteristics of the UE's movement pattern. Results of the performance evaluation show that handover latency of indoor handover UEs can be effectively reduced with high prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

In addition, the candidate cooperative nodes can be selected as relay and jammer, respectively, to assist the transmission or disturb the eavesdropper. Thus, we can formulate a restless bandit problem to model and analyze how to select the optimal relay-jammer pair according to the desired QoS optimization goals, in terms of energy balance, mitigating error propagation and increasing secrecy capacity (SC).

Capitalizing on the sparseness of random UWB signals in the basis of eigen-functions, we develop a new CS dictionary called eigen- dictionary. Coupled with this eigen-dictionary, an enhanced Bayesian learning procedure is proposed to reconstruct the sparse UWB signal from a small collection of random projection measurements. Furthermore, by utilizing a common sparsity profile inherent in UWB signals, the proposed Bayesian algorithm naturally lends itself to multi-task CS for simultaneously recovering multiple UWB signals. Since the statistical inter-relationships between different CS tasks are exploited, the multi-task (MT) Bayesian CS can efficiently improve the reconstruction accuracy and thus the performance of UWB communications. Simulations based on real UWB data demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach over its counterparts.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"... IEEE Global Communications Conference.

The latest mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets are equipped with multiple wireless network interfaces. How to efficiently and cost-effectively utilize multiple links to improve the video streaming quality needs to be investigated. In order to maintain high video streaming quality while reduce the wireless service cost, in this paper, the optimal video streaming process with multiple links is formulated as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The reward function is designed to consider the quality of experience (QoE) requirements for video traffic, such as the interruption rate, average playback quality, playback smoothness and wireless service cost. Using dynamic programming, the MDP can be solved to obtain the optimal streaming policy. To evaluate the performance of the proposed multi-link rate adaptation (MLRA) algorithm, we implement a testbed using the Android mobile phone and the open-source X264 video codec. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed MLRA algorithm for mobile video streaming applications, which outperforms the existing state-of-the-art one.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

Such a movement pattern reduces the opportunities for a message to be disseminated to a more global geographical region using the encounter-based “store-carry-forward” routing approach. On the other hand, different local areas often overlap to cover the entire region. A feasible communication architecture to help message dissemination is to deploy static storage-and-communication devices at those overlapping areas to serve as relays between the local areas. In this paper, we introduce the method to derive the simulation model for this heterogeneous network from contact trace and GPS trace of buses. Our main focus is to model communication properties between the static nodes and the mobile nodes. Typically, they are time-varying link delays formed by a collection of multiple mobile nodes. We further use a Markovian model to describe the time dependency among link delays at each static nodes and use the states to develop a network model for simulation. In the paper, we present simulation results to validate the reproduction of the mobility with the original traces by comparing routing performance. We show that the proposed network model can be used for performance evaluations with inherited realistic. The contributions of this work reside in the reproducibility to the real world traces and its flexibility in configurations. Further, it is the first simulator that enables to produce contact graph for a heterogeneous network with time-varying link properties. Its ability goes beyond simply calculating encounter events, but is well suitable for protocol evaluation in opportunistic networks, mobile social networks and delay tolerant networks.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

However the storage nodes confront serious security concerns. Storage nodes may be compromised and leak the sensitive data as well as returning fake query result. Therefore, it is important to protect the privacy and verify the query results. In this paper, we define and solve the practical and challenging problem of privacy-preserving and verifiable top-k query processing performed on the time-slot sensing data set in two-tier sensor network, and establish a set of privacy and correctness requirements for such a secure top-k query scheme to become a reality. We propose the basic PriSecTopk scheme by using order-preserving encryption, and then improve it step by step to achieve various privacy requirements as well as the correctness requirements in three levels of threat models.
