Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies provide additional dimensions of freedom with spectral and spatial resources for radio resource management. Multi-dimensional radio resource management has recently been identified to exploit the full dimensions of freedom for more flexible and efficient utilization of scarce radio spectrum while provide diverse quality of service (QoS) guarantees. In this work, a multi-dimensional radio resource scheduling scheme is proposed to achieve above goals in hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and space division multiple access (SDMA) systems. Cochannel interference (CCI) introduced by frequency reuse under SDMA is eliminated by frequency division and time division between highly interfered users. This scheme maximizes system throughput subjected to the minimum data rate guarantee. for heterogeneous users and transmit power constraint. By numerical examples, system throughput and fairness superiority of the our scheduling scheme are verified.

To reduce the interferences between the radio equipments which are operated in frequency hopping mode, the frequency resource should be assigned to each equipment without overlapping when several groups of radio equipments operate in the same area. If the radio equipments are in a different area, the partial frequency overlaying can be permitted. From the isotropic multi-dimensional array, several frequency assignment tables can be extracted for a same area. Also several tables can be extracted for different areas. Since there can be no overlapped frequencies between the tables for the same area, no interference between the radio equipments in an area is guaranteed. The frequencies overlapped between 2 tables for 2 different areas are pre-planed as required. The interference performance in frequency hopping radio can be controlled as desired using the proposed Frequency Resource Assignment Algorithm using Isotropic multi-dimensional Array.

A method is proposed to reduce excess resources from a virtual machine(VM) while avoiding subsequent migrations for a computer cluster that provides cloud service. The proposed scheme cuts down on the resources of a VM based on the probability that migration may occur after a reduction. First, it finds a VM that can be scaled down by analyzing the history of the resource usage. Then, the migration probability is calculated as a function of the VM resource usage trend and the trend error. Finally, the amount of resources needed to eliminate from an underutilized VM is determined such that the migration probability after the resource reduction is less than or equal to an acceptable migration probability. The acceptable migration probability, to be set by the cloud service provider, is a criterion to assign a weight to the resource reduction either to prevent VM migrations or to enhance VM utilization. The results of simulation show that the proposed scheme lowers migration frequency by 31.6~60.8% depending on the consistency of resource demand while losing VM utilization by 9.1~21.5% compared to other known approaches, such as the static and the prediction-based methods. It is also verified that the proposed scheme extends the elapsed time before the first occurrence of migration after resource reduction 1.1~2.3-fold. In addition, changes in migration frequency and VM utilization are analyzed with varying acceptable migration probabilities and the consistency of resource demand patterns. It is expected that the analysis results can help service providers choose a right value of the acceptable migration probability under various environments having different migration costs and operational costs.

With the increasing demand for unlicensed spectrum, several regulators have been opening up the 6-GHz band for unlicensed use while ensuring compliance with the technical requirement to avoid harmful interference in the existing primary services (PSs). In this paper, we present two methodologies, a channel-based method and a frequency-based method, which are applicable to a frequency coordination system that calculates the permissible transmit power in the channels or frequencies available to a secondary service (SS). In addition, we have demonstrated that the available transmit power of an SS can be maximized by adjusting the power allocation of the assigned resource units under the condition that the channel of the SS is partially overlapped with that of the PS. Based on the analysis results, it is suggested that it would be better to utilize the two methods selectively according to the operating channel conditions of the PS and the SS.

본 논문은 대칭섹터 간 주파수 재사용에 따른 주파수 간섭 감소를 위한 편파 분리 및 자원 제어방법에 대한 것이다. 기지국 장비가 운용되면서 발생하는 대칭섹터 간 주파수 간섭을 감소시키기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 기지국 장비는 대칭섹터에서 같은 주파수를 재사용 하는 구조로 In-Band 주파수 간섭이 야기된다. 따라서 주파수 간섭을 최소화하기 위해 본 논문에서는 2가지 방안을 제시하였다. 첫 번째로 대칭섹터의 안테나 편파 분리 방법이다. 편파 분리 방법을 사용함으로 CINR이 17dB에서 27dB로 약 10dB의 향상되었다. 두 번째 방법은 기지국 링크별 자원을 제어하는 방법으로 링크별 RF 송신출력을 정렬하여 자원을 할당하는 방법과 링크별 RF 송신출력 제어범위를 조정하는 방법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 두 가지 방안을 사용하여 주파수 재사용하는 구조에서 주파수 간섭을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Femtocells provide high quality indoor communications with low transmit power. However, when femtocells are applied in cellular systems, a co-channel interference problem between macrocells and femtocells occurs because femtocells use the same spectrum as do the macrocells. To solve the co-channel interference problem, a previous study suggested a resource allocation scheme in LTE cellular systems using FFR. However, this conventional resource allocation scheme still has interference problems between macrocells and femtocells near the boundary of the sub-areas. In this paper, we define an optimization problem for resource allocation to femtocells and propose a femtocell resource allocation scheme to solve the optimization problem and the interference problems of the conventional scheme. The evaluation of the proposed scheme is conducted by System Level Simulation while varying the simulation environments. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional scheme and that it improves the overall performance of cellular systems.

4G 이동통신 핵심 기술 중 펨토셀 시스템 실제 구현 시에 매크로셀과 펨토셀이 동일 주파수를 사용하면 동일채널 간섭이발생되기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위해 주파수 자원을 서로 다르게 할당하는 간섭 회피 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 매크로셀과 펨토셀 간의 기존 자원 할당 방식을 분석하여, 문제점을 도출하고 이를 기반으로, 본 논문에서는 FFR (Fractional Frequency Reuse) 기반의 펨토셀이 분포된 환경에서 셀 용량을 증가시키고 주파수 효율을 최대화하기 위한 적응 주파수 자원 할당 방식에 대해 제안하였다. 모의 실험 수행 결과, 기존 방식과 비교하여 SINR (Signal to Interference Noise Ratio) 분포에서는 근소한 개선 효과를 보였고, 전체 셀 용량에서는 큰 개선 효과를 보여주었다. 본 논문의 현실적인 구현을 위해 펨토 및매크로 유저 분포의 검출 방안 등에 대한 연구 및 전력 제어나 다중 신호 간섭 검출을 통해 간섭을 완화하는 방안 과의 결합방식 들에 대한 연구가 향후 추가 적으로 더 진행 되어야 할 것으로 생각 된다.

In this paper, we investigate how to do resource allocation to guarantee a minimum user data rate at low signaling overhead in multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless systems. We devise dynamic resource allocation (DRA) algorithms that can minimize the QoS violation ratio (i.e., the ratio of the number of users who fail to get the requested data rate to the total number of users in the overall network). We assume an OFDMA system that allows dynamic control of frequency reuse factor (FRF) of each sub-carrier. The proposed DRA algorithms determine the FRFs of the sub-carriers and allocate them to the users adaptively based on inter-cell interference and load distribution. In order to reduce the signaling overhead, we adopt a hierarchical resource allocation architecture which divides the resource allocation decision into the inter-cell coordinator (ICC) and the base station (BS) levels. We limit the information available at the ICC only to the load of each cell, that is, the total number of sub-carriers required for supporting the data rate requirement of all the users. We then present the DRA with limited coordination (DRA-LC) algorithm where the ICC performs load-adaptive inter-cell resource allocation with the limited information while the BS performs intra-cell resource allocation with full information about its own cell. For performance comparison, we design a centralized algorithm called DRA with full coordination (DRA-FC). Simulation results reveal that the DRA-LC algorithm can perform close to the DRA-FC algorithm at very low signaling overhead. In addition, it turns out to improve the QoS performance of the cell-boundary users, and achieve a better fairness among neighboring cells under non-uniform load distribution.

We consider resource allocation in femto-cell networks to maximize the throughput while minimizing interference to macro-users nearby. This can be achieved by allocating spectrum resource in a cognitive radio way. The proposed resource allocation is performed in two steps; spectrum sensing and resource scheduling. The femto base station detects idle frequency assignments (FAs) free from the occupation by macro-users and then allocates sub-channels in an idle FA to femto-users, effectively managing the interference problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by computer simulations.
