Coverage Optimization of LTE Networks Based on Antenna Tilt Adjusting Considering Network Load

In this paper,we investigate the coverage optimization for LTE networks considering the network load. The network coverage is defined as the number of served users of evolved Node B(eNB)which is determined by e NBs' antenna tilt angles(ATA). The coverage is optimized by optimizing the number of served users based on the Modified Particle Swarm Optimization(MPSO)algorithm. Simulation results show that both the number of served users by each e NB and the system throughput are significantly increased. As well,the average load and the bandwidth efficiency of the network are improved.

Analysis of Coverage and Area Spectrum Efficiency of UDN with Inter-Tier Dependence

Stochastic geometry is widely employed to model cellular network. But in most existing works, base stations(BSs) are modelled following a homogeneous Poisson point process(PPP) for one-tier network, or several independent homogeneous PPP for multi-tier network, which ignore the dependence among BSs. In this paper, a three-tier UDN(Ultra dense network) with Macrocell BSs(MBS) for basic coverage, Picocell BSs(PBSs) deployed outside the coverage area of MBSs for compensating coverage holes, and Femtocell BSs(FBSs) surrounding MBSs for capacity improvement modelled by point process with inter-tier dependence is proposed. The tier association probability, the coverage probability and area spectrum efficiency(ASE) are derived. Simulation results validate our derivation, and results show that the proposed network model has 25%-45% performance gain in ASE.

Downlink SINR and Rate Distribution of Ultra-Dense Het Nets with Burst Traffic

SINR distribution and rate overage distribution are crucial for optimization of deployment of Ultra-dense Het Nets.Most existing literatures assume that BSs have full queues and full-buffer traffic.In fact,due to ultra-dense deployment of small cells,traffic in small cell varies dramatically in time and space domains.Hence,it is more practical to investigate scenario with burst traffic.In this paper,we consider a two-tier non-uniform ultra-dense Het Net with burst traffic,where macro BSs are located according to Poisson Point Process(PPP),and pico BSs are located according to Poisson Hole Process(PHP).The closed-form expressions of SINR distribution and rate distribution are derived,and then validated through simulation.Our study shows that different from the result of full buffer case,the SINR distribution and rate distribution of users depend on the average transmission probabilities of BSs in burst traffic case.

Parity-check and G-matrix based intelligent early stopping criterion for belief propagation decoder for polar codes

The error correction performance of Belief Propagation(BP)decoding for polar codes is satisfactory compared with the Successive Cancellation(SC)decoding.Nevertheless,it has to complete a fixed number of iterations,which results in high computational complexity.This necessitates an intelligent identification of successful BP decoding for early termination of the decoding process to avoid unnecessary iterations and minimize the computational complexity of BP decoding.This paper proposes a hybrid technique that combines the“paritycheck”with the“G-matrix”to reduce the computational complexity of BP decoder for polar codes.The proposed hybrid technique takes advantage of the parity-check to intelligently identify the valid codeword at an early stage and terminate the BP decoding process,which minimizes the overhead of the G-matrix and reduces the computational complexity of BP decoding.We explore a detailed mechanism incorporating the parity bits as outer code and prove that the proposed hybrid technique minimizes the computational complexity while preserving the BP error correction performance.Moreover,mathematical formulation for the proposed hybrid technique that minimizes the computation cost of the G-matrix is elaborated.The performance of the proposed hybrid technique is validated by comparing it with the state-of-the-art early stopping criteria for BP decoding.Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid technique reduces the iterations by about 90%of BP decoding in a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)(i.e.,3.5~4 dB),and approaches the error correction performance of G-matrix and conventional BP decoder for polar codes.

Performance analysis of legitimate UAV surveillance system with suspicious relay and anti-surveillance technology

We propose a legal Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)surveillance system to perform passive surveillance or active jamming while in the presence of a suspicious relay or source,where a UAV works in half-duplex mode and the relay/source deploys artificial noise to prevent monitoring.Three schemes are considered for a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO)UAV:surveilling followed by jamming;jamming followed by surveilling;and two-stage surveilling.For each scheme,a closed-form expression of surveilling non-outage probability is derived,and surveilling performance under different system configurations is analyzed.Monte Carlo(MC)simulation validates derivation correctness.

SMDP-based sleep policy for base stations in heterogeneous cellular networks

A dense heterogeneous cellular network can effectively increase the system capacity and enhance the network coverage.It is a key technology for the new generation of the mobile communication system.The dense deployment of small base stations not only improves the quality of network service,but also brings about a significant increase in network energy consumption.This paper mainly studies the energy efficiency optimization of the Macro-Femto heterogeneous cellular network.Considering the dynamic random changes of the access users in the network,the sleep process of the Femto Base Stations(FBSs)is modeled as a Semi-Markov Decision Process(SMDP)model in order to save the network energy consumption.And further,this paper gives the dynamic sleep algorithm of the FBS based on the value iteration.The simulation results show that the proposed SMDP-based adaptive sleep strategy of the FBS can effectively reduce the network energy consumption.

High-performance γ-MnO_(2) Dual-Core,Pair-Hole Fiber for Ultrafast Photonics

Manganese dioxide(MnO2)is a widely used and well-studied 3-dimensional(3D)transition metal oxide,which has advantages in ultrafast optics due to large specific surface area,narrow bandgap,multiple pores,superior electron transfer capability,and a wide range of light absorption.However,few studies have considered its excellent performance in ultrafast photonics.y-MnO2 photonics devices were fabricated based on a special dual-core,pair-hole fiber(DCPHF)carrier and applied in ultrafast optics fields for the first time.The results show that the soliton molecule with tunable temporal separation(1.84 to 2.7 ps)and 600-MHz harmonic solitons are achieved in the experiment.The result proves that this kind of photonics device has goodapplications in ultrafast lasers,high-performance sensors,fiber optical communications,etc.,which can help expand the prospect of combining 3D materials with novel fiber for ultrafast optics device technology.
