In a device-to-device (D2D) underlaid cellular network, there exist two types of co-channel interference. One type is inter-layer interference caused by spectrum reuse between D2D transmitters and cellular users (CUEs). Another type is intra-layer interference caused by spectrum sharing among D2D pairs. To mitigate the inter-layer interference, we first derive the interference limited area (ILA) to protect the coverage probability of cellular users by modeling D2D users' location as a Poisson point process, where a D2D transmitter is allowed to reuse the spectrum of the CUE only if the D2D transmitter is outside the ILA of the CUE. To coordinate the intra-layer interference, the spectrum sharing criterion of D2D pairs is derived based on the (signal-to-interference ratio) SIR requirement of D2D communication. Based on this criterion, D2D pairs are allowed to share the spectrum when one D2D pair is far from another sufficiently. Furthermore, to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, a resource allocation scheme is proposed according to weighted graph coloring theory and the proposed ILA restriction. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme provides significant performance gains over the conventional scheme and the random allocation scheme.

In a High Altitude Platform (HAP) cellular communications network, each cell may be served by a dedicated spot-beam antenna. The antennas' beam properties and their spatial overlap control the co-channel interference. In prior literature, radiation patterns have been approximated by a main lobe followed by a constant sidelobe floor. A network of 121 cells has been studied and the method is here extended to the use of more realistic radiation patterns based on the theoretical aperture antenna patterns. This allows for the comparison of the effect of different aperture field tapers, which lead to reduced sidelobe levels and hence higher system capacity but also a more massive antenna payload.

In cellular mobile communications, how to achieve optimum system capacity with limited frequency spectrum is one of the main research issues. Many dynamic channel assignment (DCA) schemes have been proposed and studied to allocate the channels more efficiently, thus, the capacity of cellular systems is improved. Reuse partitioning (RP) is another technique to achieve higher capacity by reducing the overall reuse distance. In this paper, we present a network-based DCA scheme with the implementation of RP technique, namely dynamic reuse partitioning with interference information (DRP-WI). The scheme aims to minimize the effect of assigned channels on the availability of channels for use in the interfering cells and to reduce their overall reuse distances. The performance of DRP-WI is measured in terms of blocking probability and system capacity. Simulation results have confirmed the effectiveness of DRP-WI scheme. Under both uniform and non-uniform traffic distributions, DRP-WI exhibits outstanding performance in improving the system capacity. It can provide about 100% capacity improvement as compared to conventional fixed channel assignment scheme with 70 system channels.

This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol called ARCA for converged ad-hoc and cellular network (CACN). Due to the limitation of both bandwidth and transmission range in a cell, a mobile host (MH) may not be able to make a call during busy time. CACN offers a flexible traffic diversion mechanism that allows a MH to use the bandwidth in another cell to ease the congestion problem and increase the throughput in a cellular network. Based on the presentation of CACN's physical characteristics, the paper details the design issues and operation of the adaptive routing protocol for CACN (ARCA). Detailed numerical analysis is presented in terms of both route request rejection rate and routing overhead, which, along with the simulation results, have indicated the effectiveness and efficiency of the ARCA protocol.

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.

본 논문에서는 셀룰라시스템이 운용중인 Licensed 주파수 대역에서 M2M 단말간 직접통신을 공존운용하기 위한 PHY 프레임구조를 제안한다. 최근 들어 SmartGrid, Mobile Health, Smart Car를 포함한 M2M(Machine to Machine) 서비스 시장이 빠른 속도로 성장하고 있다. 이러한 M2M 서비스를 Licensed 주파수 대역 기반의 셀룰라시스템을 통해서 제공하는 경우 자원의 낭비를 초래할 수 있다. 일예로, 서로 인접하여 위치하는 시나리오에서는 M2M 단말간 직접통신을 하는 것이 자원 활용 측면에서 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 셀룰라 통신시스템의 PHY 프레임구조를 변경하지 않는 것을 중요한 요구사항으로 정한다. 이러한 하위호환성 요구사항을 만족시키면서, 기존 셀룰라시스템과 동일한 licensed 주파수 대역에서 공존운용이 가능한 M2M 단말간 직접통신시스템의 PHY 프레임구조를 제안한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안하는 M2M 직접통신을 위한 프레임 구조는 기존 셀룰라시스템과의 호환성을 유지하면서, M2M 단말간 직접통신을 위한 추가적인 주파수 소요 없이 한정된 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 방안이 되리라 예상된다.

LTE-A 네트워크에서 D2D 통신은 시스템의 용량 및 스펙트럼의 효율성을 향상시키는 유망한 기술이다. 전체 스펙트럼의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있는 이유는 기지국이 이미 셀룰러 단말에 할당한 무선 자원을 D2D 통신에 할당하여 자원을 재사용할 수 있기 때문이다. 하지만 동일한 자원을 셀룰러 및 D2D 통신이 공유하여 사용함으로써 셀 내에 간섭이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 동일한 자원을 사용하는 셀룰러 통신과 D2D 통신 간에 간섭 조정을 위한 적절한 자원 할당 기법이 필요하다. 특히, LTE-A 환경에 D2D 통신을 적용하기 위해서는 셀 내 간섭뿐만 아니라 셀 간 간섭 조정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 셀 간 간섭 완화를 위해서 주파수 재사용 패턴 기법 중 하나인 FFFR 기법을 사용하고, 셀 내 간섭 완화를 위해서는 기지국이 셀룰러 사용자가 이미 사용 중인 자원을 랜덤하게 선택하여 D2D 통신에 할당하는 D2D 자원 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 자원 할당 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 셀 내 간섭 완화, 시스템 처리량 및 계산복잡도 등이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a secure transmission scheme based on the artificial noise is proposed for D2D communications underlaying the full-duplex cellular network, and a secure power allocation scheme to maximize the overall secrecy rate of both the cellular user and D2D transmitter node is presented. Firstly, the full-duplex base station transmits the artificial noise to guarantee the secure communications when it receives signals of cellular uplinks. Under this secure framework, it is found that improving the transmission power of the cellular user or the D2D transmitter node will degrade the secrecy rate of the other, although will improve itself secrecy rate obviously. Hence, a secure power allocation scheme to maximize the overall secrecy rate is presented subject to the security requirement of the cellular user. However, the original power optimization problem is non-convex. To efficiently solve it, we recast the original problem into a convex program problem by utilizing the proper relaxation and the successive convex approximation algorithm. Simulation results evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper shows performance analysis for FH/MF나 systems over the cellular mobile communication channel. The Channel capacity over FH/MF나 system is represented as a function of deletion probalblity (Po) and insertion probalbility(Pt). The spectral efficiency of the system serves as a per formance of cellular system is inferior to that of non cellular system. In the case of frequency reuse, we get the best performance when the reuse pattern(N) is 3.

Device-to-device (D2D) multicast has become a promising technology to provide specific services within a small geographical region with a high data rate, low delay and low energy consumption. However, D2D multicast communications are allowed to reuse the same channels with cellular uplinks and result in mutual interference in a cell. In this paper, an intelligent channel assignment algorithm is designed in D2D underlaid cellular networks with the target of maximizing network throughput. We first model the channel assignment problem to be a throughput maximizing problem which is NP-hard. To solve the problem in a feasible way, a novel channel assignment algorithm is proposed. The key idea is to find the appropriate cellular communications and D2D multicast groups to share a channel without causing critical interference, i.e., finding a channel for a D2D multicast group which generates the least interference to network based on current channel assignment status. In order to show the efficacy and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm, a novel search algorithm is proposed to find the near-optimal solution as the baseline for comparisons. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the network throughput.
