Multi-radio access based bandwidth allocation strategy for video communication in heterogeneous wireless networks

In order to make full use of the radio resource of heterogeneous wireless networks（HWNs） and promote the quality of service（Qo S） of multi-homing users for video communication, a bandwidth allocation algorithm based on multi-radio access is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm adopts an improved distributed common radio resource management（DCRRM） model which can reduce the signaling overhead sufficiently. This scheme can be divided into two phases. In the first phase, candidate network set of each user is obtained according to the received signal strength（RSS）. And the simple additive weighted（SAW） method is employed to determine the active network set. In the second phase, the utility optimization problem is formulated by linear combining of the video communication satisfaction model, cost model and energy efficiency model. And finding the optimal bandwidth allocation scheme with Lagrange multiplier method and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker（KKT） conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm promotes the network load performances and guarantees that users obtain the best joint utility under current situation.

Joint UE Location Energy-Efficient Resource Management in Integrated Satellite and Terrestrial Networks

Integrated satellite and terrestrial networks can be used to solve communication problems in natural disasters,forestry monitoring and control,and military communication.Unlike traditional communication methods,integrated networks are effective solutions because of their advantages in communication,remote sensing,monitoring,navigation,and all-weather seamless coverage.Monitoring,urban management,and other aspects will also have a wide range of applications.This study first builds an integrated network overlay model,and divides the satellite network into two categories:terrestrial network end users and satellite network end users.The energy efficiency,throughput,and signal-to-noise ratio(SINR)are deduced and analyzed.In this paper,we discuss the influence of various factors,such as transmit power,number of users,size of the protected area,and terminal position,on energy efficiency and SINR.A satellite-sharing scheme with a combination of the user location and an exclusion zone with high energy efficiency and anti-jamming capability is proposed to provide better communication quality for end users in integrated satellite and terrestrial networks.

Analysis of M-LWDF fairness and an enhanced M-LWDF packet scheduling mechanism

Modified largest weighted delay first （M-LWDF） is a typical packet scheduling algorithm for supporting hybrid real-time services over wireless networks. However, so far, there is little literature available regarding the theoretic analysis of M-LWDF fairness. This paper gives a theoretic analysis of M-LWDF fairness, which shows that M-LWDF fairness is related to channel condition, packet＇s arrival process and the ratio of quality of service （QoS） requirements of different service queues. Given service QoS requirements and other parameters related to channel model and packet＇s arrival process, the fairness is merely related to the ratio of the number of users in the service queues. Based on the analysis, an enhanced M-LWDF algorithm （EM-LWDF） is proposed and demonstrated in this paper. EM-LWDF is strictly designed in light of the fairness criteria of QoS requirements, so its fairness is almost not related to the ratio of the number of users in the service queues, and the theoretical value of fairness index is equal to 1. Simulation results validate the theoretic analysis and show the effectiveness of EM-LWDF in improving fairness.
