In the MPSO algorithm, a swarm of particles known as the set of ATAs is available; the fitness function is defined as the total number of the served MSs; and the evolution velocity corresponds to the ATAs adjustment scale for each iteration cycle. Simulation results showthat compared with the fixed ATA, the number of served MSs by e NBs is significantly increased by 7. 2%, the quality of the received signal is considerably improved by 20 d Bm, and, particularly, the system throughput is also effectively increased by 55 Mbit / s.展开更多

Omni-directional an-tennas follow the standard Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and smart antennas follow the Directional DCF (DDCF). The proposed DDCF is based on Hybrid Virtual Carrier Sense (HVCS) mechanism,which includes Omni-directional Request-To-Send/Clear-To-Send (ORTS/OCTS) hand-shake mechanism and directional data transmission. HDCF is compatible with DCF. When a node transmits in a directional beam,the other nodes can multiplex the physical channel. Hence,HDCF supports Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA). Simulation results show that HDCF can support hybrid antennas effectively and provide much higher network throughput and lower delay and jitter than DCF does.展开更多

Taking the Frameless Network Architecture(FNA) as a starting point, a cell-lessbased network topology for a multi-tier Heterogeneous Network(Het Net) and ultra-dense network is proposed. The FNA network topology modeling is researched with centralized processing and distributed antenna deployments.

The Control Plane(CP) and User Plane(UP) separation and adaptation are introduced for energy efficiency improvements. The centralized RRM and different optimization goals are discussed for fully exploring the merits from the centralized computing of C-RAN. Considering the complexity, near-optimal approaches for specific users' Quality-of-Service(Qo S) requirements are addressed. Finally, based on the research highlighted above, the way forward of C-RAN evolution is discussed.展开更多

However, EE of relay-assisted cellular networks where the macro base stations(MBSs) are equipped with the multi-antenna has not been thoroughly addressed. This paper considered the downlink transmission of multi-antenna relay-assisted cellular networks, meanwhile, a strategic sleep scheme was used in relay stations(RSs), which dynamically adjusted the RS working mode according to whether the number of users serviced by the relay exceeds a given threshold. A geometric model was built to derive the coverage probability and mean achievable rate from the MBSs to user(UE), the MBS to RS, the RS to UE links and analyze the system EE. It is shown that the energy efficiency of cellular network with strategic sleep RS is slightly higher than that of cellular network with non-sleeping strategy. Furthermore, the MBS equipped with multi-antenna has better impact on energy efficiency and spectral efficiency than the MBS with single antenna.展开更多

Firstly, an estimate forwarding(EF) method is proposed, which forwards the minimum mean squared error(MMSE) estimate of the source data to the destination. Since it performs like amplify-and-forward(AF) and decode-and-forward(DF) for the low and high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) regions, respectively, the EF relay thus outperforms conventional AF and DF across all SNRs without the need for switching algorithms for different SNRs. Because computational complexity is however high for relays with a large number of antennas(large MIMO) and/or high order constellations, list EF for large MIMO relay networks is proposed. It computes a list sphere decoder based MMSE estimate and retains the advantages of the exact EF relay at a negligible performance loss. The proposed list EF could offer a flexible trade-off between the performance and computational complexity.展开更多

In this paper, we study the cooperative game approaches for scheduling in the wireless relay networks with two-virtual-antenna array mode. After defining the metric of relay channel capacity, we form a cooperative game for scheduling and present the interpretation of three different utilization objectives physically and mathematically. Then, a Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS) is utilized for resource allocation considering the traffic load fairness for relays. After proving the existence and uniqueness of NBS in Cooperative Game (CG-NBS), we are able to resolve the resource allocation problem in the cellular relay network by the relay selection and subcarrier assignment policy and the power allocation algorithm for both RSs and UEs. Simulation results reveal that the proposed CG-NBS scheme achieves better tradeoff between relay fairness and system throughput than the conventional Maximal Rate Optimization and Maximal Minimal Fairness methods.展开更多

The conventional fi...Multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) and cooperative communications have been attracted great attention for the improvements of communication capacity, power consumption, and transmission coverage. The conventional fixed relaying protocols, amplify-and-forward(AF) and decode-and-forward(DF), have their own advantages and disadvantages, i.e. AF performs better than DF for low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) region, while the reverse is true for high SNR region. Therefore, this paper proposes an SNR-adaptive forward(SAF) relaying scheme obtaining the advantages of both AF and DF. Furthermore, the proposed SAF does not need to switch between AF and DF when SNR changes. The main idea is to adaptively derive the soft information at the cooperative relay nodes based on the information of the received signal and the SNR. Besides, based on the theoretical analysis and the simulation results, it is affirmed that the proposed SAF achieves superior performance than both AF and DF for all SNRs. Moreover, the performance gain would be improved with the increasing number of parallel cooperative relay nodes.展开更多

However, many realistic networks exhibit inhomogeneity due to natural and man-made reasons. In this work, the capacity of inhomogeneous hybrid networks with directional antennas for the first time is studied. By setting different node distribution probabilities, the whole network can be devided into dense cells and sparse cells. On this basis, an inhomogeneous hybrid network model is proposed. The network can exhibit significant inhomogeneity due to the coexistence of two types of cells. Then, we derive the network capacity and maximize the capacity under different channel allocation schemes. Finally, how the network parameters influence the network capacity is analyzed. It is found that if there are plenty of base stations, the per-node throughput can achieve constant order, and if the beamwidth of directional antenna is small enough, the network capacity can scale.展开更多
