Because the number of IoT devices is much more than that of the human-held devices for traditional services. It introduces the random access issue in radio networks. In order to support massive IoT devices to transmit data in NB-IoT, the release 14 of 3 GPP provides the preambles in non-anchor carrier for random access. However, if more non-anchor carriers are provided for random access, the resource of uplink shared channel will be compressed. The use of non-anchor carrier for random access preambles shall be carefully allocated for effective resource utilization. In this paper, we propose the adaptive non-anchor allocation algorithm by referring to the collision report flag (CRF) from the user equipment. The proposed CRF algorithm considers the congestion status of uplink to adjust the number of non-anchor carriers in flexible way for better random access experience of huge random access attempts condition. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves high success access ratio and effective non-anchor carrier utilization when comparing to that of the fixed allocation schemes. The proposed scheme can save 5 - 10 numbers of non-anchor carriers for the number of UEs varies from 15,000 to 37,500 when comparing to the fixed 15 non-anchor carriers scheme under the similar successful access ratio.展开更多

In particular, an extension of virtual boundary concept in DSA is proposed, which is spectrally efficient than the previous virtual boundary concept applied to donor systems only. Here, the same technique is applied to both donor and rental systems so as to further reduce the occurrences where the insertion of guard bands is obligatory and as a result provides better spectral efficiency. The proposed extension improves the spectrum utilization without any compromise on interference and fairness issues.展开更多

The efficient radio resource allocation algorithm, i.e., Pre-assignment and Reassignment (PR) algorithm, obtains the lowest complexity and achieves good throughput performance in single cell OFDMA system. However, in multi-cell multi-sector OFDMA networks, PR algorithm is not applicable because it does not take ICI into consideration. The proposed PIB algorithm balances the number of loading bits for the desired User Equipment (UE) and the major interfering UE, as well as optimizes the SINR performance; meanwhile, IBLA avoids loading certain number of interfering bits which would make SINR unqualified. Simulations confirm the ICI management effectiveness and feasibility of both the proposals.展开更多
