Multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse for coordinated multi-point transmission

Coordinated multi-point （CoMP） joint transmission is considered in the 3rd generation partnership project （3GPP） long term evolution （LTE）-advanced as a key technique to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve the cell-edge performance. To effectively apply CoMP joint transmission,efficient frequency reuse schemes need to be designed to support resource management cooperation among coordinated cells. However,most of the existing frequency reuse schemes are not suitable for CoMP systems due to not considering multi-point joint transmission scenarios in their frequency reuse rules. In addition,the restrictions of frequency resources in those schemes result in a high blocking probability. To solve the above two problems,a multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse （MBCFR） scheme is proposed in this paper,which reuses all the available frequency resources in each sector and supports multi-beam joint transmission for cell-edge users. Besides,the blocking probability is proved to be efficiently reduced. Moreover,a frequency-segment-sequence based MBCFR scheme is introduced to further reduce the inter-cell interference. System level simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme results in higher cell-edge average throughput and cell-average throughput with lower blocking probability.

Hybrid coordinated strategy of downlink coordinated multi-point transmission

Coordinated multi-point （CoMP） transmission is put forward in the long term evolution-advanced （LTE-A） system to improve both average and cell-edge throughput. CoMP-joint pro- cessing （JP） scheme can get a larger cell-edge throughput and a lower bit error rate （BER） than the CoMP-coordinated beamform- ing （CB） scheme, but it also has higher complexity due to data sharing. A hybrid coordinated strategy with parameter c~, which indicates the proportion of users employing the CoMP-JP scheme, is proposed to apply the CoMP-JP scheme to improve the poorer communication quality of cell edge and employ the CoMP-CB scheme for other users to enhance average throughput and spec- tral efficiency. This paradigm selects users defined by the certain threshold of signal to interference plus noise power ratio （SINR） corresponding to the parameter a to the CoMP-JP scheme. This paper compares the BER performance between the block diag- onalization （BD） based precoding and the linear precoders by maximizing signal to leakage and noise ratio （SLNR）, and also in- dicates that the SLNR based precoding algorithm gets lower BER than the BD based precoding algorithm with certain signal-to-noise ratios （SNRs）. Finally, this paper discusses that the system perfor- mance is partially affected by the percentage of CoMP-JP users and concludes that 50% of users sorted to communicate under the CoMP-JP scheme will reach the best system performance.

Coordinated Planning Transmission Tasks in Heterogeneous Space Networks:A Semi-Distributed Approach

This paper studies the coordinated planning of transmission tasks in the heterogeneous space networks to enable efficient sharing of ground stations cross satellite systems.Specifically,we first formulate the coordinated planning problem into a mixed integer liner programming(MILP)problem based on time expanded graph.Then,the problem is transferred and reformulated into a consensus optimization framework which can be solved by satellite systems parallelly.With alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM),a semi-distributed coordinated transmission task planning algorithm is proposed,in which each satellite system plans its own tasks based on local information and limited communication with the coordination center.Simulation results demonstrate that compared with the centralized and fully-distributed methods,the proposed semi-distributed coordinated method can strike a better balance among task complete rate,complexity,and the amount of information required to be exchanged.

Optimized transmission coordination mechanisms for opportunistic routing

The successful rate of transmission coordination of opportunistic routing （OK） is analyzea systematically, and then two efficient transmission coordination mechanisms （TCMs） are proposed for OR： a batch sliding window-based TCM and a bit map-based TCM, to reduce the total number of packet transmissions and improve end-to-end throughput for OR. The batch sliding window-based TCM avoids the oscillation of the successful rate of transmission coordination by transmitting packets in continuous batch mode so as to improve the average successful rate of transmission coordination efficiently, while the bit map-based TCM improves end-to-end throughput of OR by reducing the overhead of transmission coordination. Exhaustive simulations show that the average end-to-end throughput gains of the two proposed TCMs are 15.4% and 6.4% over the batch map-based TCM, respectively.

A Storage and Transmission Joint Planning Method for Centralized Wind Power Transmission

Centralized delivery has become the main operation mode under the scaled development of wind power.Transmission channels are usually the guarantee of out-delivered wind power for large-scale wind base.The configuration of transmission capacity,which has the features of low utilization and poor economy,is hardly matching correctly due to the volatility and low energy density of wind.The usage of energy storage can mitigate wind power fluctuations and reduce the requirement of out-delivery transmission capacity,but facing the issue of energy storage cost recovery.Therefore,it is necessary to optimize the allocation of energy storage while considering the problem of wind power transmission.This paper studies the joint optimization of large-scale wind power transmission capacity and energy storage,reveals the mechanism of energy storage in order to reduce the power fluctuation of wind power base and slow down the demand of transmission.Then,analyze the multi-functional cost-sharing mode of energy storage,improve the efficiency of energy storage cost recovery.Constructs the coordination optimization configuration model to deal with the problem of large-scale wind power transmission capacity and energy storage,and realizes the transmission capacity optimization coordination and optimization with energy storage.The proposed method is verified by a wind base located in Northeast China.

Three-dimensional Model Analysis of Electric Field Excited by Multi-circuit Intersecting Overhead Transmission Lines

This work is carried out to predict the special distribution of electric field induced by multi-circuit intersecting overhead high-voltage (HV) transmission lines (TLs) within a large range without any expensive and time-consuming computation. The two main parts of the presented methodology are 1) setting up a three-dimensional (3D) model to calculate the electric field based on combining ca- tenary equations with charge simulation method and 2) calculating the hybrid electric field excited by multi-circuit intersecting TLs using coordinate transformation and superposition technique. Examples of different TLs configurations, including a 220 kV single-circuit hori- zontally configured TLs, a 500 kV single-circuit triangularly configured TLs and a combination of the 220 kV TLs and the 550 kV TLs, are illustrated to verify the validity of this methodology. A more complicatal configurations, including a 500 kV double-circuit TLs and two 220 kV single-circuit horizontally configured TLs, are also calculated. Conclusions were drawn from the simulation: 1) The presented 3D model outperforms 2D models in describing the electric field distribution generated by practical HV TLs with sag and span. 2) Coordinate trans- formation and superposition technique considerably simplify the electric field computation for multi-circuit TLs configurations, which makes it possible to deal with complex engineering problems. 3) The electric field in the area covered by multiple intersecting overhead TLs is distorted and the hybrid electric field strength in some partial region increases so sharply that it might exceed the admissible value. 4) The configuration parameters of the TLs and the spatial configuration of multi-circuit TLs, for instance, the height of TLs, the length of span and the intersection angle of multiple circuits, influence the strength and the distribution of hybrid electric field. The influence regularities sum- marized in this paper can be referred by future TL designs to meet the electromagnetic environmental protection regulations.

Peregrine Soliton and Akhmediev Breathers in a Chameleon Electrical Transmission Line

We analyze the particular behavior exhibited by a chaotic waves field containing Peregrine soliton and Akhmediev breathers. This behavior can be assimilated to a tree with “roots of propagation” which propagate randomly. Besides, this strange phenomenon can be called “tree structures”. So, we present the collapse of dark and bright solitons in order to build up the above mentioned chaotic waves field. The investigation is done in a particular nonlinear transmission line called chameleon nonlinear transmission line. Thus, we show that this line acts as a bandpass filter at low frequencies and the impact of distance, frequency and dimensionless capacitor are also presented. In addition, the chameleon’s behavior is due to the fact that without modifying the appearance structure, it can present alternatively purely right- or left-handed transmission line. This line is different to the composite one.

Block diagonalization coordinated transmission with zero-forcing in MIMO broadcast

This work has investigated coordinated multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） transmission schemes in an interference-limited cellular downlink. It has proposed a novel block diagonalization （BD） coordinated transmission scheme, which combines with zero-forcing （ZF） criterion. In the scheme, the BD technique has advantages in suppressing multi-user interference while the ZF technique enables to mitigate interference among spatial data streams for a user. Based on the proposed coordinated scheme, an efficient power allocation is also put forward. The analyses show that the ergodic capacity of the proposed coordinated scheme is that of the MIMO channel with the maximum transmit power at each transmitter. Computer simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated scheme and its corresponding power allocation.

Coordinated Planning of Large-Scale Wind Farm Integration System and Transmission Network

Large-scale centralized exploitation of intermittent wind energy resources has become popular in many countries.However,as a result of the frequent occurrence of largescale wind curtailment,expansion of corresponding transmission projects has fallen behind the speed at which installed wind capacity can be developed.In this paper,a coordinated planning approach for a large-scale wind farm integration system and its related regional transmission network is proposed.A bilevel programming model is formulated with the objective of minimizing cost.To reach the global optimum of the bi-level model,this work proposes that the upper-level wind farm integration system planning problem needs to be solved jointly with the lower-level regional transmission planning problem.The bi-level model is expressed in terms of a linearized mathematical problem with equilibrium constraints(MPEC)by Karush-KuhnTucker conditions.It is then solved using mixed integer linear programming solvers.Numerical simulations are conducted to show the validity of the proposed coordinated planning method.

Distributed Robust Energy and Reserve Dispatch for Coordinated Transmission and Active Distribution Systems

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources introduces higher requirements for the operation flexibility of transmission system(TS) and connected active distribution systems(DSs). This paper presents an efficient distributed framework for the TS and DSs to work cooperatively yet independently. In addition to conventional power interaction, upward and downward reserve capacities are exchanged to form the feasible access regions at the boundaries that apply to different system operation situations. A distributed robust energy and reserve dispatch approach is proposed under this framework. The approach utilizes the supply-and demand-side resources in different systems to handle various uncertainties and improve overall efficiency and reliability. In particular, integrated as aggregated virtual energy storage(AVES) devices, air-conditioning loads are incorporated into the optimal dispatch. In addition, a reserve model with charging/discharging-state elasticity is developed for AVESs to enhance system flexibility and provide additional reserve support. Different cases are compared to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.

Performance Analysis in Cloud Radio Access Networks:User-Centralized Coordination Approach

The cloud radio access network(C-RAN) has recently been proposed as an important component of the next generation wireless networks providing opportunities for improving both spectral and energy effi ciencies. The performance of this network structure is however constrained by severe inter-cell interference due to the limited capacity of fronthaul between the radio remote heads(RRH) and the base band unit(BBU) pool. To achieve performance improvement taking full advantage of centralized processing capabilities of C-RANs,a set of RRHs can jointly transmit data to the same UE for improved spectral effi ciency. In this paper,a user centralized joint coordinated transmission(UC-JCT) scheme is put forth to investigate the downlink performance of C-RANs. The most important benefit the proposed strategy is the ability to translate what would have been the most dominant interfering sources to usable signal leading to a signifi cantly improved performance. Stochastic geometry is utilized to model the randomness of RRH location and provides a reliable performance analysis. We derive an analytical expression for the closed integral form of the coverage probability of a typical UE. Simulation results confirm the accuracy of our analysis and demonstrate that significant performance gain can be achieved from the proposed coordination schemes.

Coordinated multipoint transmission and reception based on multicarrier time division multiple access

Coordinated multipoint(CoM P)transmission and reception is a technique to reduce intercell interference and increase the cell edge throughput.In order to get maximum CoM P gain the networks and terminals involved in CoM P communication should be robust against time and frequency offset due to asynchronism between terminals and base stations.However,the modulation techniques proposed in LTE-Advanced standard(SC-FDMA and OFDMA)are quite sensitive to frequency offset because of DFT/IDFT used in the modulation systems,which brings difficulties for commercial implementation of CoM P technique based on LTE-Advanced.To relax the synchronization requirement in CoM P system,in this paper we introduce a CoM P technique based on a new multicarrier modulation scheme-multicarrier time division multiple access(MC-TDMA).In comparison with SC-FDMA and OFDMA,the MC-TDMA modulation can significantly improve the CoM P performance in case of carrier frequency offset.Simulation shows that at 20%of carrier frequency offset the CoM P system with MC-TDMA modulation can also keep high performance,while the system with SC-FDMA and OFDMA is totally lost in work.

Joint User Selection and Rate Adaptation Scheme in a Coordinated Multipoint Transmission System for Power Minimization

In a coordinated multipoint transmission system with centralized architecture for saving power consumption, total power metric is minimized while completely using the backhaul capacity and maintaining the minimum target data rate. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer optimization problem, which is difficult to solve. To overcome this problem, a joint user selection and rate adaptation scheme is developed based on the water-filling rate adaptation with the given user set and the power saving criterion with the allocated rates.Numerical results demonstrate that compared with the norm-based and semi-orthogonal user selection algorithms,the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the total power consumption. The proposed algorithm can also achieve near-optimal performance compared with the performance achieved by the exhaustive search-based method. In addition, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced by heuristic iteration and search scope shrinking.

Interference Coordination for Secrecy Enhancement in Random Wireless Networks

The co-channel interference modeling is vital for evaluating the secrecy performance in random wireless networks,where the legitimate nodes and eavesdroppers are randomly distributed.In this paper,a new interference model is proposed from the userdominant perspective.The model can provide a better analytical assessment of secrecy performance with interference coordination for the presence of eavesdroppers.The typical legitimate is assumed to be located at the origin,and chooses the closest base station(BS) as its serving BS.The field of interferers is obtained by excluding the desired BSs(including the serving BS and its cooperative BS(s)).In contract with the exiting interference model,it is assumed that desired BSs and interferers belong to the same Poisson Point Process(PPP),and eavesdroppers are distributed according to another independent PPP.Based on this model,the average secrecy transmission capacity is derived in simply analytical forms with interference coordination.Analysis and simulation results show that the secrecy performance can be significantly enhanced by exploiting interference coordination.Furthermore,the average secrecy transmission capacity increases with increasing number of cooperative BSs.

Coordinated shift control of nonsynchronizer transmission for electric vehicles based on dynamic tooth alignment

Multispeed transmissions can enhance the dynamics and economic performance of electric vehicles(EVs),but the coordinated control of the drive motor and gear shift mechanism during gear shifting is still a difficult challenge because gear shifting may cause discomfort to the occupants.To improve the swiftness of gear shifting,this paper proposes a coordinated shift control method based on the dynamic tooth alignment(DTA)algorithm for nonsynchronizer automated mechanical transmissions(NSAMTs)of EVs.After the speed difference between the sleeve(SL)and target dog gear is reduced to a certain value by speed synchronization,angle synchronization is adopted to synchronize the SL quickly to the target tooth slofs angular position predicted by the DTA.A two-speed planetary NS AMT is taken as an example to carry out comparative simulations and bench experiments.Results show that gear shifting duration and maximum jerk are reduced under the shift control with the proposed method,which proves the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated shift control method with DTA.
