In this paper, we introduce backscatter communication for power-limited sensors to enable long-range transmission in wireless sensor networks, and envision a way to avoid doubly near-far problem in wireless-powered communication network (WPCN) with this technology. In backscatter based WPCN, users harvest energy from both the signal broadcasted by the hybrid access point and the carrier signal transmitted by the carrier emitter in the downlink, and then transmit their own information in a passive way via the reflection of the carrier signal using frequency-shift keying modulation in the uplink. We characterize the energy-free condition and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) outage zone in backscatter based WPCN. Further, we propose backscatter based harvest-then-transmit protocol to maximize the sum-throughput of the backscatter based WPCN by optimally allocating time for energy harvesting and information transmission. Numerical results demonstrate that the backscatter based WPCN increases significantly the transmission range and diminishes greatly the SNR outage zone.

In this paper, for a uplink space division multiple access system named cooperative spatial multiplexing(CSM), radio resource management(RRM) algorithms are proposed based on sharing uplink channel information among a serving base station(BS) and interfering BSs in a uplink coordinated wireless communication system. A constrained maximum transmit power algorithm is proposed for mobile station(MS) to limit uplink inter-cell interference(ICI). And joint scheduling algorithm among coordinated BSs is proposed to enhance uplink capacity through ICI mitigation by using channel information from interfering BSs. It is shown that the proposed RRM algorithm provides a considerable uplink capacity enhancement by effective ICI mitigation only with moderate complexity.

We propose an efficient adaptive subcarrier selection scheme, in which the active subcarriers and their modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) are selected at the receiver, and subsequently conveyed to the transmitter using limited feedback We theoretically show that capacity maximization can be achieved by selecting subcarriers with highest signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and adapting the number of active subcarriers according to channel environments. Furthermore, an ordering based adaptive subcarrier selection algorithm is proposed to select the optimal active subcarriers with low complexity. Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive subcarrier selection scheme provides higher capacity than that obtained by water-filling approaches, even with limited feedback.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant attention in 5G and 6G wireless networks due to their high flexibility and low hardware costs. However, UAV communication is still challenged by blockage and energy consumption issues. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have emerged as a promising solution to these challenges, enabling improved spectral efficiency and reduced energy consumption by transmitting signals to users who cannot receive signals because of the obstacles. Many previous studies have focused on minimizing power consumption and data transmission delay through phase shift and power optimization. This paper proposes an algorithm that maximizes the sum rate by including bandwidth optimization. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we present a bit allocation scheme based on grouped sub-channels for MIMO-OFDM (Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems using V-BLAST (Vertical-Bell laboratories LAyered Space-Time) detector. A fully adaptive modulation and coding scheme may provide optimal performance in the MIMO-OFDM systems, however it requires excessive feedback information. Instead, SBA (Simplified Bit Allocation) scheme for reduction of feedback overhead, which applies the same modulation and coding to all the good sub-channels, may be considered. The proposed scheme in this paper named SBA-GS (Simplified Bit Allocation based on Grouped Sub-channels) groups sub-channels and assigns the same modulation and coding to the set of selected sub-channel groups. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves comparable bit error rate performance of the conventional SBA scheme, while significantly reducing the feedback overhead in multipath channels with small delay spreads.

This paper proposes a data stream allocation technique for fair capacity performance in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems using block diagonalization (BD) algorithm. Conventional studies have been focused on maximum sum capacity. Thus, there is a very large difference of capacity among users, since user capacity unfairly distributed according to each user channel environment. In additional, poor channel user has very small capacity, since base station allocates the power by using water-filling technique. Also, almost studies limited itself to obtain the additional gain by using the same number of data streams for all users. In this paper, we propose the technique for maximizing sum capacity under the fair performance constraint by allocating data stream according to user channel environment. Also, proposed algorithm has more gain of sum capacity and transmit power than conventional equal allocation via computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose the load control procedure for WiBro system in order to keep the data traffic throughput maximum. The transmitter at a mobile terminal can estimate maximum available power for each user and then the maximum number of subchannels can be calculated considering the total available power. The data traffic throughput and the total throughput (the sum of signaling traffic and data traffic throughput) are considered. As the number of bandwidth requests per frame increases, the data traffic throughput can significantly decrease. Therefore, the load control procedure is indispensible to maintain the data throughput at the maximum level. So, we propose the load control procedure to prevent data traffic throughput from decreasing and evaluate the proposed procedure through the computer simulation under the multi-user environment. The maximum throughput can be maintained by applying the proposed procedure.

The wireless communication based on LDPC and adaptive spatial-subcarrier coded modulation using MQAM for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless transmission by using instantaneous channel state information and employing multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver. Adaptive coded modulation is a promising idea for bandwidth-efficient transmission on time-varying, narrowband wireless channels. On power limited Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, low density parity check (LDPC) codes are a class of error control codes which have demonstrated impressive error correcting qualities, under some conditions performing even better than turbo codes. The paper demonstrates OFDM with LDPC and adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. An optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge is used. The experimental results are shown the potential of our proposed system.

Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) have been received considerable attention to be involved in the next generation mobile system. However, there are inherent inter-user interferences caused by the multiplexing multiple users in the same communication resource in NOMA systems. Two representative methods, the approximate white noise and random variable methods, have been adapted for the analysis of interferences in NOMA systems. In this paper, we derive the outage probabilities of an uplink NOMA system with the two analysis methods and compare the results. The numerical results of the outage probabilities versus transmitted power, distances, and power allocation are compared. We noticed that the derived functions are different each other, but the numerical results are coincident. It is shown that the two interference analysis methods can be applied to the analysis of NOMA systems.

A two-way relay channel is a bidirectional cooperative communication channel between two nodes using a relay. In many cooperative communication schemes, a relay transmits its data to each node using separate channels. However, in the two-way relay channel, a relay can broadcast the network-coded signal to both nodes in a same time slot, which can increase the system throughput. In this paper, a new cooperative network error correcting scheme using distributed turbo code in a two-way relay channel is proposed. The proposed scheme not only increases the system throughput using network code but also improves the performance by utilizing the LLR information from relay node and other user node through distributed turbo code. Also, a power allocation scheme is investigated for various channel conditions to improve the system performance.
