One of the most innovative paradigms for the next-generation of wireless cellular networks is the cloud-radio access networks (C-RANs). In C-RANs, base station functions are distributed between the remote radio heads (RHHs) and base band unit (BBU) pool, and a communication link is defined between them which is referred as the fronthaul. This leveraging link is expected to reduce the CAPEX (capital expenditure) and OPEX (operating expense) of envisioned cellular architectures as well as improves the spectral and energy efficiencies, provides the high scalability, and efficient mobility management capabilities. The fronthaul link carries the baseband signals between the RRHs and BBU pool using the digital radio over fiber (RoF) based common public radio interface (CPRI). CPRI based optical links imposed stringent synchronization, latency and throughput requirements on the fronthaul. As a result, fronthaul becomes a hinder in commercial deployments of C-RANs and is seen as one of a major bottleneck for backbone networks. The optimization of fronthaul is still a challenging issue and requires further exploration at industrial and academic levels. This paper comprehensively summarized the current challenges and requirements of fronthaul networks, and discusses the recently proposed system architectures, virtualization techniques, key transport technologies and compression schemes to carry the time-sensitive traffic in fronthaul networks.

TCAM(Ternary content-addressable memory) has been widely used to perform fast routing lookup. It is able to accomplish the LPM(longest prefix matching) search in O(1) time without considering the number of prefixes and their lengths. As compared to software-based solutions, especially for IPv6, TCAM can oner sustained throughput and simple system architecture. However, There is no research for Priority-TCAM which can assign priority to each memory block. This paper addresses the difference or priority-TCAM compared to the existing TCAM and proposes CAO-PA algerian to manage the lookup table efficiently.

While single-user spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO) allows spatially multiplexed data streams to be transmitted to one node at a time, multi-user spatial multiplexing MIMO (MU-MIMO) enables the simultaneous transmission to multiple nodes. However, if the transmission time required to send packets to each node varies considerably, MU-MIMO may fail to utilize the available MIMO capacity to its full potential. The transmission time typically depends upon two factors: the link quality of the selected channel and the data length (packet size). To utilize the cumulative capacity of multiple channels in MIMO applications, the assignment of channels to each node should be controlled according to the measured channel quality or the transmission queue status of the node.A MAC protocol design that can switch between MU-MIMO and multiple SU-MIMO transmissions by considering the channel quality and queue status information prior to the actual data transmission (i.e., by exchanging control packets between transmitter and receiver pairs) could address such issues in a simple but in attractive way. In this study, we propose a new MAC protocol that is capable of performing such switching and thereby improve the system performance of very high throughput WLANs. The detailed performance analysis demonstrates that greater benefits can be obtained using the proposed scheme, as compared to conventional MU-MIMO transmission schemes.

In this paper, we study the throughput-delay tradeoff of OFDMA systems in context of 2-dimensional resource allocation, and analyze the effect of frequency diversity and user-multiplexing in time domain that has on delay QoS performance. Based on the analysis results, we investigate the impacts of delay QoS on spectral efficiency. In high SNR regime, the optimal DoM (degree of multiplexing) maximizing the spectral efficiency is identified. The results of the high SNR analysis can give us an intuition on an efficient resource allocation policy. Finally, through the simulation results, we verify that our approach with its optimal DoM yields substantial capacity gain.

The Guaranteed Frame Rate(GFR) service has been designed to accomodate non-real-time applications, such as TCP/IP based traffic in ATM networks. The GFR service not only guarantees a minimum throughput at the frame level, but also supports a fair share of available resources. In this paper, we propose a cell scheduling scheme which can improve the fairness and the goodput through the traffic control in GFR service. For the evaluation of the proposed scheme, we compare the proposed scheme with the existing scheme in the fairness and the goodput. Simulation results show that proposed scheme can improve the fairness and goodput comparing with the existing buffer management scheme.

The mission data in missile systems should be quickly and reliably transmitted from a mission transmission device to a guidance control unit. The MIL-STD-1553B is one of the reliable communication standards, but its bit rate is generally limited to 1Mbps due to the intrinsic properties of its electrical design. Therefore, the bus controller needs to be optimized to efficiently transmit the mission data on the inevitably limited bit rate. This paper proposes an analytical approach based on sampling-based optimization methods to maximize the data throughput without data loss. The proposed approach was evaluated in the simulations with the data transmission model for the MIL-STD-1553B communication system. The results of the proposed methods were applied to a real-time system and showed that the proposed method was successfully performed.

In this study, we implemented a $17^*17b$ binary digital multiplier using radix-4 Booth's algorithm. Two stage pipeline architecture was applied to achieve higher throughput and 4:2 adders were used for regular layout structure in the Wallace tree partition. To evaluate the circuit, several MPW chips were fabricated using Hynix 0.6-um 3M N-well CMOS technology. Also we proposed an efficient test methodology and did fault simulations. The chip contains 9115 transistors and the core area occupies about $1135^*1545$ mm2. The functional tests using ATS-2 tester showed that it can operate with 24 MHz clock at 5.0 V at room temperature.

Recently, data traffic is significantly increased by high rate data service. As a result, radio spectrum is considered one of the most scarce and valuable resources for wireless communications. For the solution of this problem, cognitive radio(CR) has been proposed as an efficient means to opportunistic spectrum sharing between primary (licensed) users and cognitive radio users. In this paper, user selection scheme in CR networks is proposed for additional consideration of secondary system. The proposed user selection scheme mitigates interference to primary user by using orthogonal channel vectors while improves performance of secondary system. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves 1.62bps/Hz higher average throughput of whole system than one of the existing scheme.

The use of an efficient packet scheduling scheme for a forward link in satellite communication networks is very important to support fairness for each return channel satellite terminal (RCST) and the service differentiations for user traffics. To support fairness and QoS for each RCST with service-level agreement (SLA), the Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) system in a satellite hub has to process packets with considering modulation and coding (MODCOD) and packet types. Although a DVB-S2 system with ACM scheme has higher transmission efficiency, it cannot offer fairness or quality of service (QoS) to RCSTs. Because the data are transmitted with high MODCOD in regions with clear skies, while data are transmitted using low MODCOD in regions experiencing rain events. In this paper, we propose a two-step scheduling scheme offering fairness and QoS to RCSTs, while minimizing a decrease in throughput. The proposed scheme is carried out performance evaluations using a computer simulation. As results of this simulation, the proposed scheduler was shown to support bandwidth fairness to an individual RCST, and provide a level of QoS differentiation for user traffics.
