Uplink Performance Analysis in Multi-Tier Heterogeneous Cellular Networks with Power Control and Biased User Association

A K-tier uplink heterogeneous cellular network is modelled and analysed by accounting for both truncated channel inversion power control and biased user association. Each user has a maximum transmit power constraint and transmits data when it has sufficient transmit power to perform channel inversion. With biased user association, each user is associated with a base station(BS) that provides the maximum received power weighted by a bias factor, but not their nearest BS. Stochastic geometry is used to evaluate the performances of the proposed system model in terms of the outage probability and ergodic rate for each tier as functions of the biased and power control parameters. Simulations validate our analytical derivations. Numerical results show that there exists a trade-off introduced by the power cut-off threshold and the maximum user transmit power constraint. When the maximum user transmit power becomes a binding constraint, the overall performance is independent of BS densities. In addition, we have shown that it is beneficial for the outage and rate performances by optimizing different network parameters such as the power cut-off threshold as well as the biased factors.

INTERFERENCE COORDINATION METHOD BASED ON GRAPH THEORY IN TWO-TIER CELLULAR NETWORKS

This paper studies an interference coordination method by means of spectrum allocation in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) multi-cell scenario that comprises of macrocells and femtocells. The purpose is to maximize the total throughput of femtocells while ensuring the Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the edge macro mobile stations (mMSs) and the edge femtocell Mobile Stations (fMSs). A new spectrum allocation algorithm based on graph theory is proposed to reduce the interference. Firstly, the ratio of Resource Blocks (RBs) that mMSs occupy is obtained by genetic algorithm. Then, after considering the impact of the macro Base Stations (mBSs) and small scale fading to the fMS on different RBs, multi-interference graphs are established and the spectrum is allocated dynamically. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the mMSs. It can strike a balance between the edge fMSs' throughput and the whole fMSs' throughput.

JOINT LLR-CRC ERROR MITIGATION FOR TWO-WAY ADAPTIVE DENOISE-AND-FORWARD NETWORK CODING

Network Coding (NC) brings correlation between the coded signals from different sources, which makes the system more vulnerable to the decode error at relay. Conventional Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) has been implemented for error bit detection. However, its error correction is simply ignored. To fully exploit this feature, this paper proposes a novel joint Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) CRC error mitigation for NC two way relay channel. Specific thresholds are designed to estimate the error number of data block and identify those which can be recovered if the number is within the error correction scope of CRC. We examine two modes of the thresholds, one based on the average Bit Error Rate (BER) of source-relay link, while the other based on that of instantaneous one. We provide the full analysis for the Pair-wise Error Probability (PEP) performance of the scheme. A variety of numerical results are presented to reveal the superiority of the proposed scheme to conventional CRC NC under independent Rayleigh fading channels. Moreover, the efficiencies of the proposed thresholds are also validated.

PRECODING AND DECODING DESIGN FOR TWO-WAY MIMO AF MULTIPLE-RELAY SYSTEM

In this paper, a joint precoding and decoding design scheme is proposed for two-way Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) multiple-relay system. The precoding and decoding matrices are jointly optimized based on Minimum Mean-Square-Error (MMSE) criteria under transmit power constraints. The optimization problem is solved by using a convergent iterative algorithm which in-cludes four sub-problems. It is shown that due to the difficulty of the block diagonal nature of the relay precoding matrix, sub-problem two cannot be solved with existing methods. It is then solved by converting sub-problem two into a convex optimization problem and a simplified method is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve lower Bit Error Rate (BER) and larger sum rate than other schemes. Furthermore, the BER and the sum rate performance can be improved by increasing the number of antennas for the same number of relays or increasing the number of relays for the same number of antennas.

Analysis of connectivity in Ad-hoc network based on interference and fading channel

In Ad-hoc wireless network, connectivity is a fundamental issue which restricts the design of system protocol. Based on the theory of stochastic geometry, a connectivity model focused on signal-to-interference （SIR） ratio is set up in presence of Nakagami-m fading and interference. This paper derives a close formula of connectivity probability with interference and Nakagami-m fading which is never obtained in previous works. Two-dimension shot-noise theory in stochastic geometry for interference is well applied. The formula is verified by simulation. The results show that the connectivity is affected by the scatter of users, wireless propagation environment, interference and so on.

Network selection algorithm based on AHP and similarity

In heterogeneous wireless networks, there are various kinds of service demands from the users. A network selection algorithm based onthe analytic hierarchy process （AHP） and Similarity is proposed to solve this problem. The services are divided into three classes： Conversational Class, Streaming Class and Interactive Class. According to the characteristics of each service, a different judgment matrix is assigned and then the AHP method is used to calculate the network attribute weights. Taking the dynamic changes in user demands and network environment into account, a formula based on Lance distance for computing the attributes similarity is derived to evaluate the degree of conformity between user requirements and network attributes, from which the similarity between the user requirements and network attributes is calculated and then the total similarity by weighting. The network with the largest total similarity is the best choice. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in improving the quality of service （QoS） according to the user requirements under three kinds of services.

Resource allocation for NOMA based D2D underlaid cellular networks

This paper puts forward a user clustering and power allocation algorithm for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) based device-to-device(D2 D) cellular system. Firstly, an optimization problem aimed at maximizing the sum-rate of the system is constructed. Since the optimization problem is a mixed-integer non-convex optimization, it is decomposed into two subproblems, namely user clustering and power allocation subproblem. In the subproblem of user clustering, the clustering algorithms of cellular user and D2 D pair are proposed respectively. In the power allocation subproblem, the gradient assisted binary search(GABS) algorithm and logarithmic approximation in successive convex approximation(SCA) are used to optimize the power of subchannel(SC) and D2 D transmitted power respectively. Finally, an efficient joint iterative algorithm is proposed for the original mixed inter non-convex non-deterministic polynomial(NP)-hard problem. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the total system rate and the larger the ratio of cellular users(CUs) to total users, the larger the total system rate.
