Firstly, this paper introduces a new concept called channel utilization percentage (CUP), which is for measuring the contention level of different channels in a node’s neighborhood, and deduces its optimal value for determining whether a channel is overloaded or not. Then, a metric parameter named channel selection metric (CSM) is designed, which actually reffects not only the channel status but also corresponding node’s capacity to seize it. JCACR evaluates channel assignment by CSM, performs a local optimization by assigning each node a channel with the smaller CSM value, and changes the working channel dynamically when the channel is overloaded. Therefore, the network load balancing can be achieved. In addition, simulation shows that, when compared with the protocol of weighted cumulative expected transfer time (WCETT), the new protocol can improve the network throughput and reduce the end-to-end average delay with fewer overheads.展开更多

Integrated Femto-WiFi(IFW) small cells have been introduced by 3GPP to offload data from cellular networks recently. These IFW cells are multi-mode capable(i.e., both licensed bands via cellular interface and unlicensed bands via WiFi interface). Therefore how to offload data effectively has become one of the most significant discussions in 5G Multi-Radio Heterogeneous Network. So far, most researches mainly focus on the generality of UEs, few attention has been paid to UEs' individual requirements. Considering UE's preference vary from individual to individual, in this paper, we present an UE preference-aware network selection scheme for mobile data offloading. It intelligently supports the distribution of heterogeneous classes of services, considers different types of UEs and delay-tolerant flows, and handles the mobility of UEs. The simulation results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm in user fairness, enhanced capacity and energy saving maximization.展开更多

This paper presents a centralized quasi-static channel assignment for multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). The proposed channel assignment can efficiently utilize multiple channels with only 2 radios equipped on each mesh router. In the scheme, the network end-to-end traffics are first modeled by probing data at wireless access points, and then the traffic load between each pair of neighboring routers is further estimated using an interference-aware estimation algorithm. Having knowledge of the expected link load, the scheme assigns channels to each radio with the objective of mini-mizing network interference, which as a result greatly improves network capacity. The performance evalua-tion shows that the proposed scheme is highly responsive to varying traffic conditions, and the network per-formance under the channel assignment significantly outperforms the single-radio IEEE 802.11 network as well as the 2-radio WMN with static 2 channels.展开更多

However, many bottlenecks exist in the converged system such as high time delay, high energy consumption, and low data rate. Multi-Radio Cooperation (MRC) technology is specially designed to overcome these bottlenecks and to satisfy the requirements of heterogeneous network convergence. MRC can improve network capacity, reduce the energy consumption of radio devices, and decrease handover latency between heterogeneous networks by the cooperation of multiple radios, and by efficient management and feasible allocation of multi-radio resources. MRC makes real seamless heterogeneous network convergence possible.展开更多

Nodes that equip multiple radios working on different channels simultaneously permit ef-fective utility of frequency spectrum and can also reduce interference. In this paper, after analyzing several current protocols in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MR-MC) ad hoc networks, a new multi-channel routing metric called Integrative Route Metric (IRM) is designed. It takes channel load, inter-flow, and intra-flow interference into consideration. In addition, an MR-MC routing protocol based on Interference-Aware and Channel-Load (MR-IACL) is also presented. The MR-IACL can assign channels and routings for nodes according to channel load and interference degree of links, and optimize channel distribution dynamically to satisfy the features of topology changing and traffic frequent fluctuation during network running. The simulation results show that the new protocol outperforms others in terms of network throughput, end-to-end delay, routing overhead, and network lifetime.展开更多

Most of previous work on network selection or radio resource allocation concentrates on the capability of each available network and ignores the time-varying nature of wireless media due to channel fading. However, the channel condition determines the state of each wireless network and plays a vital role in ensuring quality of service in multi-radio access environment. In this article, we propose a network selection policy using stochastic control theory considering the time-varying and stochastic character of wireless channels. The proposed scheme selects one network among different alternatives in each decision epoch according to the channel state of each network, which is modeled as finite-state Markov channel, with the objectives of increasing the data-rate, decreasing the bit error rate and minishing the delay. The procedure of network selection is formulated as a stochastic control problem, which can be solved using linear programming and primal-dual index heuristic algorithm. Simulation results are presented to show that network selection has great impact on the system performance, and the proposed scheme can improve the performance significantly.展开更多

The closed interactions among power control (PC), channel assignment (CA) and routing is contributed to the performance of multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks (MRMC-WMNs). However, the joint PC, CA and routing (JPCR) design, desired to achieve a global optimization, was poor addressed. The authors present a routing algorithm joint with PC and CA (JPCRA) to seek the routing, power and channel scheme for each flow, which can improve the fairness performance. Firstly, considering available channels and power levels, the routing metric, called minimum flow rate, is designed based on the physical interference and Shannon channel models. The JPCRA is presented based on the genetic algorithm (GA) with simulated annealing to maximize the minimum flow rate, an non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-Hard) problem. Simulations show the JPCRA obtains better fairness among different flows and higher network throughput.展开更多

However, it is quite challenging to effectively utilize multiple channels and/or multiple radios to maximize throughput capacity. The National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC) Project61128005 conducted comprehensive algorithmic-theoretic and queuing-theoretic studies of maximizing wireless networking capacity in multi-channel multi-radio(MC-MR) wireless networks under the protocol interference model and fundamentally advanced the state of the art. In addition, under the notoriously hard physical interference model, this project has taken initial algorithmic studies on maximizing the network capacity, with or without power control. We expect the new techniques and tools developed in this project will have wide applications in capacity planning, resource allocation and sharing, and protocol design for wireless networks, and will serve as the basis for future algorithm developments in wireless networks with advanced features, such as multi-input multi-output(MIMO) wireless networks.展开更多
