This paper considers a downlink cognitive radio (CR) network where one secondary user (SU) and one primary user (PU) share the same base station (BS). The spectrum of interest is divided into a set of independent, orthogonal subchannels. The communication of the PU is of high priority and the quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed by the minimum rate constraint. On the other hand, the communication of the SU is of low priority and the SU opportunistically accesses the subchannels that were previously discarded by the PU during power allocation. The BS assigns fractions ?? and 1 ?? of the total available transmit power to the PU and the SU respectively. Two power allocation schemes with opportunistic subchannel access are proposed, in which the optimal values of ??'s are also obtained. The objective of one scheme is to maximize the rate of the SU, and the objective of the other scheme is to maximize the sum rate of the SU and the PU, both under the PU minimum rate constraint and the total transmit power constraint. Extensive simulation results are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

In H.264, three different data partition types are used, which have unequal importance to the reconstructed video quality. To improve the performance of H.264 video streaming transmission over IEEE 802.11e Wireless Local Area Networks, a prioritization mechanism that categorizes different partition types to different priority classes according to the calculated distortion within one Group of Pictures. In the proposed scheme, video streams have been encoded based on the H.264 codec with its data partition enabled. The dynamic scheduling scheme based on Enhanced Distributed Channel Access has been configured to differentiate the data partitions according to their distortion impact and the queue utilization ratio. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the received video quality by 1dB in PSNR compared with the existing Enhanced Distributed Channel Access static mapping scheme.

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) algorithms play an important role in ensuring quality of service in an integrated HetNets (Heterogeneous Networks). The primary objective of this paper is to develop a multi-criteria vertical handoff decision algorithm (VHDA) for best access network selection in an integrated Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)/Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system. The proposed design consists of two parts, the first part is the evaluation of an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to decide the relative weights of handoff decision criteria and the second part computes the final score of the weights to rank network alternatives using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). SAW ranks the network alternatives in a faster and simpler manner than AHP. The AHP-SAW mathematical model has been designed, evaluated and simulated for streaming video type of traffic. For other traffic type, such as conversational, background and interactive, only simulation results have been discussed and presented in brief. Simulation results reveal that the hierarchical modelling and computing provides optimum solution for access network selection in an integrated environment as obtained results prove to be an acceptable solution to what could be expected in real life scenarios.

Nowadays, the advanced smart convergences of the artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) have been more and more important, in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) mobile communication. In 5G and B5G mobile networks, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been extensively investigated as one of the most promising multiple access (MA) technologies. In this paper, we investigate the achievable data rate for the asymmetric binary pulse amplitude modulation (2PAM), in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). First, we derive the closed-form expression for the achievable data rate of the asymmetric 2PAM NOMA. Then it is shown that the achievable data rate of the asymmetric 2PAM NOMA reduces for the stronger channel user over the entire range of power allocation, whereas the achievable data rate of the asymmetric 2PAM NOMA increases for the weaker channel user improves over the power allocation range less than 50%. We also show that the sum rate of the asymmetric 2PAM NOMA is larger than that of the conventional standard 2PAM NOMA, over the power allocation range larger than 25%. In result, the asymmetric 2PAM could be a promising modulation scheme for NOMA of 5G systems, with the proper power allocation.

모바일 IP는 이동 호스트 이용자가 IP 주소를 변경하지 않으면서 자유로이 장소를 이동할 수 있도록 개발된 프로토콜이다. 그리고 Ad-hoc 네트워크는 이동 호스트들이 무선 인터페이스를 사용하여 기반망의 도움 없이 자율적으로 구성하는 임시적인 네트워크이다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 프로토콜을 이용하여 현재 가장 각광을 받고 있는 Access 망인 Ad-hoc 네트워크를 연동시켜 Ad-hoc 네트워크의 사용자들이 자유롭게 인터넷 서비스를 이용할 수 있는 기술에 대하여 논의한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Ad-hoc 라우팅 프로토콜에 모바일 IP를 적용하여 Ad-hoc 네트워크 간에 향상된 이동성을 지원하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we consider a spectrum access scenario which consists of two groups of users, namely Primary Users (PUs) and Secondary Users (SUs) in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks (CCRNs). SUs cooperatively relay PUs messages based on Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF) cooperative techniques, in exchange for accessing some of the spectrum for their secondary communications. From the literatures, we found that the Conventional Distributed Algorithm (CDA) and Pragmatic Distributed Algorithm (PDA) aim to maximize the PU sum-rate resulting in a lower sum-rate for the SU. In this contribution, we have investigated a suit of distributed matching algorithms. More specifically, we investigated SU-based CDA (CDA-SU) and SU-based PDA (PDA-SU) that maximize the SU sum-rate. We have also proposed the All User-based PDA (PDA-ALL), for maximizing the sum-rates of both PU and SU groups. A comparative study of CDA, PDA, CDA-SU, PDA-SU and PDA-ALL is conducted, and the strength of each scheme is highlighted. Different schemes may be suitable for different applications. All schemes are investigated under the idealistic scenario involving perfect coding and perfect modulation, as well as under practical scenario involving actual coding and actual modulation. Explicitly, our practical scenario considers the adaptive coded modulation based DF schemes for transmission flexibility and efficiency. More specifically, we have considered the Self-Concatenated Convolutional Code (SECCC), which exhibits low complexity, since it invokes only a single encoder and a single decoder. Furthermore, puncturing has been employed for enhancing the bandwidth efficiency of SECCC. As another enhancement, physical layer security has been applied to our system by introducing a unique Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) based puncturing to our SECCC scheme.

IEEE 802.15.3으로 표준화된 고속 무선 Personal Area Network (HR-WPAN)은 등시성 트래픽을 지원하기 위하여 시분할다중접금(TDMA) 방식을 사용하고 있다. 등시성 트래픽은 전송지연에 대한 제한성을 갖는 서비스이다. 그러나 HR-WPAN 표준은 여전히 긴 접근지연과 Association 지연으로 인해 많은 문제점을 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 HR-WPAN이 주로 Target으로 하고 있는 등시성 트래픽을 위한 발전된 매체접근제어 (MAC) 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. 이 제안된 프로토콜은 각 소속 노드들의 현재의 트래픽에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 그 정보를 이용하여 데이터 파켓의 전송 시점과 파켓의 도착시점을 동기화 시킬 수 있는 스케줄링 알고리듬 또한 제안되어진다. 이 프로토콜과 스케줄링 알고리듬을 통해 갖가지 전송 지연의 요소를 제거할 수 있고 결국은 성능의 향상을 가져오게 된다.

This work presents an analysis of the buffer features of an access router, especially the size, the impact on delay and the packet loss rate. In particular, we study how these features can affect the Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia applications when generating traffic bursts in local networks. First, we show how in a typical SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) network in which several multimedia flows (VoIP, videoconferencing and video surveillance) share access, the upgrade of the bandwidth of the internal network may cause the appearance of a significant amount of packet loss caused by buffer overflow. Secondly, the study shows that the bursty nature of the traffic in some applications traffic (video surveillance) may impair their QoS and that of other services (VoIP and videoconferencing), especially when a certain number of bursts overlap. Various tests have been developed with the aim of characterizing the problems that may appear when network capacity is increased in these scenarios. In some cases, especially when applications generating bursty traffic are present, increasing the network speed may lead to a deterioration in the quality. It has been found that the cause of this quality degradation is buffer overflow, which depends on the bandwidth relationship between the access and the internal networks. Besides, it has been necessary to describe the packet loss distribution by means of a histogram since, although most of the communications present good QoS results, a few of them have worse outcomes. Finally, in order to complete the study we present the MOS results for VoIP calculated from the delay and packet loss rate.

iSCSI(Internet Small Computer System Interface)는 블록 중심형 스토리지 접근 프로토콜로써, TCP/IP 네트워크를 통해 원격의 스토리지를 마치 자신의 로컬 상에 있는 블록 장치처럼 접근하는 기술이다. iSCSI는 이 같은 접근을 위해 표준 이더넷 스위치와 라우터를 사용하므로 기존의 수많은 이더넷 기술의 적용은 물론 거리 제한이 없는 스토리지 확장을 가능하게 하며, 이는 곧 무선 네트워크상으로의 적용이 가능함을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 이 점에 착안, 유선 기반의 원격 스토리지 접근을 목적으로 디자인 되어진 iSCSI를 최근 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅(Ubiquitos Computing)등으로 관심이 모아지고 있는 임베디드 리눅스 장치에 탑재하여 모바일 기기가 가지는 저장 공간 제약 극복의 대안과, 상대적으로 제한된 무선 네트워크상에서 iSCSI 프로토콜의 성능을 평가 및 분석함으로써 그 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
