In order to control interference and improve spectrum efficiency in the femtocell and macrocell overlaid system (FMOS), we propose a joint frequency bandwidth dynamic division, clustering and power control algorithm (JFCPA) for orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple access-based downlink FMOS. The overall system bandwidth is divided into three bands, and the macro-cellular coverage is divided into two areas according to the intensity of the interference from the macro base station to the femtocells, which are dynamically determined by using the JFCPA. A cluster is taken as the unit for frequency reuse among femtocells. We map the problem of clustering to the MAX k-CUT problem with the aim of eliminating the inter-femtocell collision interference, which is solved by a graph-based heuristic algorithm. Frequency bandwidth sharing or splitting between the femtocell tier and the macrocell tier is determined by a step-migration-algorithm-based power control. Simulations conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm showed the frequency-reuse probability of the FMOS reuse band above 97.6% and at least 70% of the frequency bandwidth available for the macrocell tier, which means that the co-tier and the cross-tier interference were effectively controlled. Thus, high spectrum efficiency was achieved. The simulation results also clarified that the planning of frequency resource allocation in FMOS should take into account both the spatial density of femtocells and the interference suffered by them. Statistical results from our simulations also provide guidelines for actual FMOS planning.

As the TCP is the protocol designed for the wired network that packet loss probability is very low, because TCP transmitter takes it for granted that the packet loss by the wireless network characteristics is occurred by the network congestion and lowers the transmitter's transmission rate, the performance is degraded. The Snoop Protocol was designed for the wired network by putting the Snoop agent module on the BS(Base Station) that connect the wire network to the wireless network to complement the TCP problem. The Snoop agent cash the packets being transferred to the wireless terminal and recover the loss by resending locally for the error occurred in the wireless link. The Snoop agent blocks the unnecessary congestion control by preventing the dupack (duplicate acknowledgement)for the retransmitted packet from sending to the sender and hiding the loss in the wireless link from the sender. We evaluated the performance in the wired/wireless network and in various TCP versions using the TCP designed for the wired network and the Snoop designed for the wireless network and evaluated the performance of the wired/wireless hybrid network in the wireless link environment that the continuous packet loss occur.

상이한 망이 공존하는 LTE-Advanced에서 기존 음성 서비스에 적용된 절차적이고 정적인 제어방식으로는 서비스 연속성을 효과적으로 지원하는 것은 현실적으로 어렵다고 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 QoS 지원을 기반으로 서비스 연속성을 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 자원 관리 프레임워크를 제시하고자 한다. 제안된 자원 관리 프레임워크는 이동 단말기 및 기지국의 상태 정보 변화에 따라 관련 기능-ISHO, 셀 선정, 자원 할당, 부하 제어, QoS 매핑 등-의 설정을 동적으로 제어하고, 각각의 기능들이 변화에 적응하여 조정되고 재구성하는 과정을 주고받으면서 서비스 연속성을 만족시키기 위하여 상호 작용한다. 이를 위하여 4 종류의 ISHO를 지원하기 위한 각 모듈간의 연계 순서도를 기술하고, ISHO 시나리오가 고려된다.

For an energy harvesting sensor network, when the network lifetime is not the only primary goal, maximizing the network performance under environmental energy harvesting becomes a more critical issue. However, clustering protocols that aim at providing maximum information throughput have not been thoroughly explored in Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks (EH-WSNs). In this paper, clustering protocols are studied for maximizing the data transmission in the whole network. Based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) energy predictor and node energy consumption and supplement models, an uneven clustering protocol is proposed where the cluster head selection and cluster size control are thoroughly designed for this purpose. Simulations and results verify that the proposed scheme can outperform some classic schemes by having more data packets received by the cluster heads (CHs) and the base station (BS) under these energy constraints. The outcomes of this paper also provide some insights for choosing clustering routing protocols in EH-WSNs, by exploiting the factors such as uneven clustering size, number of clusters, multiple CHs, multihop routing strategy, and energy supplementing period.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely applied in monitoring and control of environment parameters. It is sometimes necessary to disseminate data through wireless links after they are deployed in order to adjust configuration parameters of sensors or distribute management commands and queries to sensors. Several approaches have been proposed recently for data dissemination in WSNs. However, none of these approaches achieves both high efficiency and low complexity simultaneously. To address this problem, cluster-tree based network architecture, which divides a WSN into hierarchies and clusters is proposed. Upon this architecture, data is delivered from base station to all sensors in clusters hierarchy by hierarchy. In each cluster, father broadcasts data to all his children with instantly decodable network coding (IDNC), and a novel scheme targeting to maximize total transmission gain (MTTG) is proposed. This scheme employs a new packet scheduling algorithm to select IDNC packets, which uses weight status feedback matrix (WSFM) directly. Analysis and simulation results indicate that the transmission efficiency approximate to the best existing approach maximum weight clique, but with much lower computational overhead. Hence, the energy efficiency achieves both in data transmission and processing.

Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaid cellular infrastructure is an competitive local area services technology to promote spectrum usage for next generation cellular networks. These potential can only be tap through efficient interference coordination. Previous works only concentrated on interference from D2D pairs whiles interference from CUs to D2D pairs were neglected. This work focus on solving uplink interference problem emanating from multiple CUs sharing its resource with multiple D2D pairs. The base station (BS) acting as a supervisor selfishly institute a pricing scheme to manage the interference it experience from D2D pairs based on its Quality of service (QoS) requirement. D2D pairs following the supervisor make power allocation decisions considering the price from the BS in a non-cooperative game fashion. In order for the D2D pairs to also meet their QoS requirement, they suggest a price to the BS called discount price which reflects the interference they receive from the CUs. Finally, we analyze the proposed approach.

A low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is a low-power adaptive cluster routing protocol which was proposed by MIT's Chandrakasan for sensor networks. In the LEACH protocol, the selection mode of cluster-head nodes is a random selection of cycles, which may result in uneven distribution of nodal energy and reduce the lifetime of the entire network. Hence, we propose a new selection method to enhance the lifetime of network, in this selection function, the energy consumed between nodes in the clusters and the power consumed by the transfer between the cluster head and the base station are considered at the same time. Meanwhile, the improved FTBA algorithm integrating the curve strategy is proposed to enhance local and global search capabilities. Then we combine the improved BA with LEACH, and use the intelligent algorithm to select the cluster head. Experiment results show that the improved BA has stronger optimization ability than other optimization algorithms, which the method we proposed (FTBA-TC-LEACH) is superior than the LEACH and LEACH with standard BA (SBA-LEACH). The FTBA-TC-LEACH can obviously reduce network energy consumption and enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Enhancing the performance of maritime wireless communication has been highlighted by the issue of cell planning in the sea area because of lack of an appropriate Propagation Loss Model (PLM). To resolve the cell planning issue in vast sea areas, it was essential to develop the (PLM) matching the intended sea area. However, there were considerable gaps between the prediction of legacy PLMs and field measurement in propagation loss and there was a need to develop the adjusted PLM (A-PLM). Therefore, cell planning was performed on this adjusted model, including modification of the base station's location, altitude, and antenna azimuth to meet the quality objectives. Furthermore, in order to verify the availability of the cell planning, Communication Service Quality Monitoring System (CS-QMS) was developed in the LTE-Maritime project to collect LTE signal quality information from the onboard equipment at regular intervals and to ensure that the service quality was high enough to satisfy the goals in each designated grid. As a result of verification, the success rate of RSRP was 95.7% for the intensive management zone (IMZ) and 96.4% for the interested zone (IZ), respectively.

최근 스마트 단말의 보급으로 데이터 트래픽에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있어 한정된 자원을 가진 기지국이 수용하기에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 해결책으로 셀 또는 서로 인접한 셀 내의 단말들이 서로간에 기지국을 거치지 않고 디바이스간 직접적인 통신(D2D, Device-to-Device)을 통해 기지국의 과부하를 줄이고 주파수 부족 현상을 완화시킬 수 있는 방안이 제안되고 있다. 하지만 LTE-Advanced 시스템 내에서 셀룰러 링크와 무선 자원을 공유하는 D2D 링크는 자신이 속한 셀룰러 네트워크에 심각한 간섭을 줄 가능성이 높기 때문에 간섭을 제거하거나 완화시킬 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 링크와 D2D 링크가 자신의 간섭을 최소화하는 SFR(Soft Frequency Reuse) 기반 자원할당과 전송전력 조절 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 성능검증을 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 결과를 통하여 신호대 잡음비(SINR, Signal to Noise Ratio)와 시스템 평균 전송량(Throughput)에서 성능 이득을 가짐을 보였다.

이 논문은 IP 멀티캐스트 상에서 핸드오프 지연을 줄이기 위해 Multicast Handoff Agent(MHA)라는 에이전트에 기반을 둔 새로운 멀티캐스트 랜드오프 메커니즘을 제안한다. MHA는 기지국에서 이동 호스트의 Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)에 대한 프록시로서 동작되고 셀 내의 멀티캐스트 그룹의 구성원에 대한 정보를 유지하는 역할을 한다. 이동 호스트가 다른 셀로 이동할 때, MHA는 IGMP query 메시지를 기다리지 않고 즉시 리포트 메시지를 전송한다. 제안하는 메커니즘은 시뮬레이션과 분석을 통해 성능평가 되고 마이크로 이동성과 IGMP 트래픽에 대하여 IGMPv2와 비교분석 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로서 마이크로 이동성에 대한 랜드오프 지연이 크게 줄일 수 있고 또한 그룹의 구성원으로 있는 동안 무선 링크상의 IGMP 제어 트래픽을 제거될 수 있음을 보인다. 따라서 제안하는 메커니즘은 마이크로 이동성에 대해 기존의 메커니즘보다 뛰어나고, IGMP 질의에 대한 응답이 불필요하여 배터리 지속시간이 오래갈 수 있다.
