In this paper, downlink capacity of time duplex division (TDD) based cellular wireless networks utilizing fixed hopping stations is investigated. In the network, a number of fixed subscriber stations act as hopping transmission stations between base stations and far away subscribers, forming a cellular and ad hoc mobile network model. At the radio layer, TDD code division multiple access (CDMA) is selected as the radio interface due to high efficiency of frequency usage. In order to improve the system performance in terms of downlink capacity, we propose different time slot allocation schemes with the usage of fixed hopping stations, which can be selected by either random or distanced dependent schemes. Performance results obtained by computer simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed network to improve downlink system capacity.

In this paper, we discuss physical layer security techniques in downlink networks, including eavesdroppers. The main objective of using physical layer security is delivering a perfectly secure message from a transmitter to an intended receiver in the presence of passive or active eavesdroppers who are trying to wiretap the information or disturb the network stability. In downlink networks, based on the random feature of channels to terminals, opportunistic user scheduling can be exploited as an additional tool for enhancing physical layer security. We introduce user scheduling strategies and discuss the corresponding performances according to different levels of channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS). We show that the availability of CSI of eavesdroppers significantly affects not only the beamforming strategy but also the user scheduling. Eventually, we provide intuitive information on the effect of CSI on the secrecy performance by considering three scenarios: perfect, imperfect, and absence of eavesdropper's CSI at the BS.

본 논문에서는 사용자들 간의 간섭이 존재하는 무선망에서 상하향 링크의 수율 최대화를 동시에 고려한다. 상향 링크에서는 라그랑지안 완화기법에 기반으로 하는 분산적이고 반복적인 알고리즘을 제안하다. 상향 링크에서의 라그랑지 곱수와 네트워크 쌍대성 성질을 이용하여 채널 이득과 최대 전력 제약이 상향 링크와 동일한 듀얼 하향 링크에서의 수율 최대화를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 증명한 네트워크 쌍대성 성질은 기존의 연구에 비해 보다 일반적인 형태를 가진다. 또한, 모의실험 결과는 채널의 상관 계수가 ${\theta}{\in}$(0.5, 1] 일 때, 상하향 링크에서 제안된 기법들이 각각 최적값에 근접하다는 것을 보여준다. 반면에 채널의 상관 계수가 낮을 때 (${\theta}{\in}$(0, 0.5]), 하향 링크에서의 성능 열화를 관찰할 수 있다. 네트워크 쌍대성 성질은 상향 링크에 비해 채널 이득과 최대 전력 제약이 다른 실제 하향 링크로 확장된다. 이러한 쌍대성 성질에 기반으로 하는 기법은 실제 하향 링크에서도 충분히 적용될 수 있음이 모의실험 결과로 보여진다. 기존에 제안된 알고리즘의 복잡도를 고려하였을때, 본 논문의 결과는 일반화된 네트워크 쌍대성 성질의 성능과 실제 적용면에서 상당히 유용하다고 할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a resource allocation algorithm for the downlink of a two-tier wireless network in which femto-base stations are used as relays to macro-users. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has higher fairness index than the greedy scheme.

Recently, energy-efficient cellular transmission has received considerable research attention to improve the energy efficiency of wireless communication. In this paper, we consider a cellular network consisting of one base station (BS) and multiple user terminals and explore the network coding for enhancing the energy efficiency of cellular downlink transmission from BS to users. We propose the network coded cellular transmission scheme and conduct its energy consumption analysis with target outage probability and data rate requirements in Rayleigh fading environments. Then, the energy efficiency in Bits-per-Joule is further defined and analyzed to evaluate the number of bits delivered per Joule of energy cost. Numerical results show that the network coded cellular transmission significantly outperforms the traditional cellular transmission in terms of energy efficiency, implying that given a Joule of energy cost, the network coded cellular transmission scheme can deliver more bits than the traditional cellular transmission.

In this paper, we consider resource allocation with proportional fairness in the downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access relay networks, in which relay nodes operate in decode-and-forward mode. A joint optimization problem is formulated for relay selection, subcarrier assignment and power allocation. Since the formulated primal problem is nondeterministic polynomial time-complete, we make continuous relaxation and solve the dual problem by Lagrangian dual decomposition method. A near-optimal solution is obtained using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides superior system throughput and much better fairness among users comparing with a heuristic algorithm.

가상 네트워크 기술은 다양한 서비스의 요구조건을 반영한 네트워크를 제공할 수 있다. 다양한 서비스의 요구조건을 반영하기 위해 효율적인 리소스 분배 기술이 필요하다. 기존의 트래픽 대역폭 분배 기법들은 다운링크 트래픽만 제어하거나 네트워크의 트래픽 상황을 고려하지 않는다. 무선 네트워크에서 다운링크와 업링크는 같은 자원을 공유한다. 또한, 기존의 트래픽 대역폭 분배 기법들은 모든 스테이션이 포화된 트래픽을 발생시킨다고 가정한다. 그래서 기존의 트래픽 대역폭 분배 기법들은 가상 무선 네트워크에서 트래픽 제어를 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 트래픽 기반 대역폭 제어 기법을 제안한다. 가상 네트워크에 SDN을 적용하고 각 스테이션의 트래픽을 모니터링하고 비포화 트래픽을 발생시키는 스테이션을 탐색한다. 또한, 모니터링 정보를 기반으로 업링크와 다운링크 트래픽을 동적으로 제어한다. 실제 테스트베드 구성 후, 기존의 기법과 비교 결과, 트래픽 대역폭 분배 성능이 최대 14% 개선되었다.

In the traditional cellular network communication, the cellular user and the base station exchange information through the uplink channel and downlink channel. Meanwhile, device-to-device (D2D) users access the cellular network by reusing the channel resources of the cellular users. However, when cellular user channel conditions are poor, not only D2D user cannot reuse its channel resources to access the network, but also cellular user's communication needs cannot be met. To solve this problem, we introduced a novelty D2D communication mechanism in the downlink, which D2D transmitter users as half-duplex (HD) relays to assist the downlink transmission of cellular users with reusing corresponding spectrum. The optimization goal of the system is to make the cellular users in the bad channel state meet the minimum transmission rate requirement and at the same time maximize the throughput of the D2D users. In addition, i for the purpose of improving the efficiency of relay transmission, we use two-antenna architecture of D2D relay to enable receive and transmit signals at the same time. Then we optimized power of base station and D2D relay separately with consideration of backhaul interference caused by two-antenna architectures. The simulation results show that the proposed HD relay strategyis superior to existing HD and full-duplex (FD) models in the aspects of system throughput and power efficiency.

The IEEE 802.16 standard is supposed to provide a wide-range broadband wireless service, but it leaves the implementation of the wireless resource scheduler as an open issue. We have studied the scheduling problem and propose a two level scheduling (TLS) scheme with support for quality of service and fairness guarantees for downlink traffic in a WiMAX network. A central controller Base Station has a number of users, and each mobile subscriber station has different channel conditions. The same mobile subscriber station may have different service requirements at different times in the WiMAX network. Based on OPNET simulation, the results show our scheduling algorithm can increase the network throughput, maintain relative fairness, and lower delay over the round robin and weighted round robin algorithms.
