Distributed Channel Selection Principles for Femtocells with Two-Tier Interference

Abstract: It goes without saying that the femtocells will be widely employed in the next generation wireless networks since the femtocells improve indoor capacity and coverage with low power and less cost. However, as the femtocells become popular, the femtocell users suffer from the complicated two-tier interference, including the macrocell-to-femtocell and femtocell-to-femtocell interference. Therefore, the femtocells pose a difficult challenge on managing the interference in a autonomous and distributed manner. In this paper, we investigate how to distributedly select the sub-channels for the OFDMA-based femtocell systems to reduce interference and to improve indoor capacity under a link reliability requirement. We develop the channel-gain oriented and interference-avoidance oriented distributed channel selection schemes. Simulation results show that the interference from the macrocell and other femtocells significantly degrades femtocell link reliability and capacity. However, by properly adjusting the number of used sub-channels, the developed channel selection schemes can improve capacity and ensure the link reliability.

An Iterative Hungarian Algorithm Based Coordinated Spectrum Sensing Strategy

Abstract: Coordinated spectrum sensing ensures Cognitive Radio systems to get the usability of every channel within the entire spectrum of interest by assigning terminals to detect different channels simultaneously. This letter proposes an optimized channel-assignment strategy for coordinated spectrum sensing based on an Iterative Hungarian Algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy performs excellently in improving the overall sensing performance of the system.

Utility-Based Predictive Services for Adaptive Wireless Networks With Mobile Hosts

Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest for research in wireless adaptive networking and resource management to efficiently handle wireless communications between mobile hosts and base stations. Moreover, in wireless environments, the bandwidth of an ongoing multimedia flow can dynamically be adjusted, so there must be an efficient bandwidth allocation scheme to ensure quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees and high system utilization. In this paper, the attention is focused on the management of mobile services. In particular, two classes of service, i.e., mobility independent predictive (MIP) and mobility dependent predictive (MDP), have been considered, as defined in integrated service packet networks. A utility-based rate adaptation algorithm has been considered, and an admission control has been proposed, taking into account channel conditions, through a slow-fading channel model for wireless LAN 802.11b. The valued algorithm is based on a user utility function, and the admission control can use the prereservation phase among potentially visited cells from MIP hosts while only considering the bandwidth availability on current cells for MDP services. We analyzed the MIP users' mobility along coverage areas to reduce passive resource reservations on cells that users will probably never visit through the knowledge of some mobility parameters. A prediction technique is also proposed. The performances of the wireless system have been evaluated in terms of total bandwidth utilization for MIP services, average user perceived utility, and system outage probability.

Traffic capacity of cellular mobile communications systems

Abstract: In a cellular mobile communication system, the traffic capacity of the system is an important quantity, and depends on the way that channels are allocated to calls. Many channel allocation algorithms have been proposed, and this paper makes a direct comparison of some of them. Specifically, the operating regimes considered are fixed channel assignment, dynamic channel assignment, directed retry, and directed handoff. The main conclusion is that directed handoff gives a strong gain in traffic capacity and traffic adaptability for these systems. The paper also discusses some of the factors affecting the future development of mobile communication systems.
