The graph-based scheduling consists of two stages, the frequency assignment stage and the time slot scheduling stage. For such scheduling, a theoretical method to analyze the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is proposed. The method consists of three steps. First, the frequency assignment stage is analyzed and the approximate formula of the average number of the D2D links which are assigned the same frequency is derived. Secondly, the time slot scheduling stage is analyzed and the approximate formula of the average probability of a D2D link being scheduled in a time slot is derived. Thirdly, the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is analyzed and the corresponding approximate formula is derived. Analysis results show that the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is approximately inversely linearly proportional to the second- order origin moment of the normalized broadcast radius of D2D links. Simulation results show that the proposed method can correctly predict the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem.展开更多

However, as one of the major challenges, inter-femtocell interference gets worse in 3D in-building scenarios because of the presence of numerous interfering sources and then needs to be considered in the early network planning phase. The indoor network planning and optimization tool suite, Ranplan Small- cell~, makes accurate prediction of indoor wireless RF signal propagation possible to guide actual indoor femtocell deployments. In this paper, a new adaptive soft frequency reuse scheme in the dense femtocell networks is proposed, where multiple dense femtocells are classified into a number of groups according to the dominant interference strength to others, then the minimum subchannels with different frequency reuse factors for these groups are determined and transmit powers of the group- ing sub-channels are adaptively adjusted based on the strength to mitigate the mutual inter- ference. Simulation results show the proposed scheme yields great performance gains in terms of the spectrum efficiency relative to the legacy soft frequency reuse and universal fre- quency reuse.展开更多

The operation of RFID systems often involves a situation in which multiple readers physically located near one another may interfere with one another's operation. Such reader collision must be minimized to avoid the faulty or miss reads. Specifically, scheduling the colliding RFID readers to reduce the total system transaction time or response time is the challenging problem for large-scale RFID network deployment. Therefore, the aim of this work is to use a successful multi-swarm cooperative optimizer called pseo to minimize both the reader-to-reader interference and total system transaction time in RFID reader networks. The main idea of pS20 is to extend the single population PSO to the interacting multi-swarm model by constructing hierarchical interaction topology and enhanced dynamical update equations. As the RFID network scheduling model formulated in this work is a discrete problem, a binary version of PS20 algorithm is proposed. With seven discrete benchmark functions, PS20 is proved to have significantly better performance than the original PSO and a binary genetic algorithm, pS20 is then used for solving the real-world RFID network scheduling problem. Numerical results for four test cases with different scales, ranging from 30 to 200 readers, demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology.展开更多

The current resource scheduling schemes for spectrum aggregation are not optimal or suitable for CR based heterogeneous networks(Het Nets). Consequently, the authors propose a novel resource scheduling scheme for spectrum aggregation in CR based Het Nets, termed as cognitive radio based resource scheduling(CR-RS) scheme. CR-RS has a three-level structure. Under a dynamic traffic model, an equivalent throughput of the CCs based on the knowledge of primary users(PUs) is given. On this basis, the CR users data transmission time of each CC is equal in CR-RS. The simulation results show that CR-RS has the better performance than the current resource scheduling schemes in the CR based Het Nets. Meanwhile, CR-RS is also effective in other spectrum aggregation systems which are not CR based HetNets.展开更多
