Reduced-rate retransmissions for spread-spectrum packet radio multimedia networks

A reduced-rate retransmission (RRR) scheme is proposed for improving the throughput performance of spread-spectrum packet radio networks. The scheme takes advantages of the available multi-rate scalable source coding techniques. It assumes that several versions of a data packet with different sizes (number of information bits) are available. The transmission of a packet starts from its full-size version. If the full-size version is not correctly received, its half-size version is used in the retransmission. If further retransmissions are needed, the quarter-size version and so on are used. The shrunk packets are transmitted either in a minislot if the processing gain is kept the same, or occupying a slot duration by increasing the processing gain proportionally. In both cases, the effective signal to interference ratio for a packet is increased. As a result, the system throughput is improved. Theoretical and numerical results are provided in this paper which illustrate the throughput improvement. Another advantage of the proposed RRR scheme is that the packet-size reduction provides finer granules for link adaptation. Therefore, it is especially suitable for multimedia applications for which codes of variable rate for the source data are available and which can tolerate gracefully degraded quality of service. The performance of the proposed scheme in fading channels is also addressed.     

Sensor networks with mobile access: optimal random access and coding

We consider random access and coding schemes for sensor networks with mobile access (SENMA). Using an orthogonal code-division multiple access (CDMA) as the physical layer, an opportunistic ALOHA (O-ALOHA) protocol that utilizes channel state information is proposed. Under the packet capture model and using the asymptotic throughput as the performance metric, we show that O-ALOHA approaches the throughput equal to the spreading gain with an arbitrarily small power at each sensor. This result implies that O-ALOHA is close to the optimal centralized scheduling scheme for the orthogonal CDMA networks. When side information such as location is available, the transmission control is modified to incorporate either the distribution or the actual realization of the side information. Convergence of the throughput with respect to the size of the network is analyzed. For networks allowing sensor collaborations, we combine coding with random access by proposing two coded random access schemes: spreading code dependent and independent transmissions. In the low rate regime, the spreading code independent transmission has a larger random coding exponent (therefore, faster decay of error probability) than that of the spreading code dependent transmission. On the other hand, the spreading code dependent transmission gives higher achievable rate.     

Adaptive Congestion Control of mSCTP for Vertical Handover Based on Bandwidth Estimation in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

This paper proposes a new congestion control scheme of mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol (mSCTP) for vertical handover across heterogeneous wireless/mobile networks. The proposed scheme is based on the estimation of available bandwidths in the underlying network as a cross-layer optimization approach. For congestion control of mSCTP, the initial congestion window size of the new primary path is adaptively configured, depending on the available bandwidth of the new link that a mobile node moves into. By ns-2 simulation, the proposed scheme is compared with the existing congestion control schemes in the throughput perspective. From the numerical results, we can see that the proposed mSCTP congestion control scheme could give better performance than the existing schemes in the wireless networks with an amount of background traffic.     

Analysis and determination of cooperative MAC strategies from throughput perspectives

In recent years, cooperative communication has been developed as a new communication strategy that incorporates a relay node to assist direct point-to-point transmission. By exploiting cooperative diversity, different types of techniques have been proposed to improve transmission reliability from the physical layer perspective. However, owing to the longer transmission time resulting from the cooperative schemes, there is no guarantee to enhance network throughput in view of the medium access control (MAC) performance. In this paper, system throughput of combined direct/cooperative communication is evaluated by exploiting the proposed analytical model based on the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. The feasibility of adopting either cooperative or direct communication is also studied in the analytical model. In terms of network throughput, whether to adopt cooperative schemes depends on the tradeoff between cooperative transmission delay and channel quality of direct communication. Moreover, two cooperative MAC protocols are proposed to determine the circumstances to activate cooperative communication according to the channel quality. The full-channel quality indicator based cooperative (FCC) MAC protocol is introduced to choose both the transmission scheme and the relay node according to the full channel quality information. However, the overhead caused by the FCC scheme can degrade the throughput performance as the number of available relays is significantly increased. Therefore, the bitwise competition based cooperative (BCC) MAC protocol is utilized to efficiently determine a feasible relay node for data transmission. Simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness of proposed analytical models and cooperative MAC protocols. It is observed that the proposed BCC scheme can outperform both the FCC protocol and conventional direct transmission with enhanced system throughput.

Code-based all optical routing using two-level coding

Code-based all optical routing employing a two-level-coding scheme is proposed. The first level of coding is employed to establish connections between users within a local area network; a second level of coding provides routing/interconnectivity between networks. The limitations due to physical-layer impairments, such as relative intensity noise (RIN) of the optical source, the signal-dependent shot noise, optical beat interference (OBI), and thermal noise at the receiver, which are some of the fundamental issues in the design of practical optical code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, are analyzed for the two-level scheme. The throughput in terms of "packets/time slot" offered by the scheme is also compared with that of the wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) system. The system capacity in WDMA is limited by the number of available wavelengths; optical CDMA, on the other hand, has many codes (user addresses), but the throughput is limited by multiple user interference, OBI, and RIN. System designs that overcome these effects and thereby improve the throughput are suggested.

Efficient Protocols Design and Performance Analysis for Centralized WLAN

Device-to-device communications have attracted much more attention recently in the realization of smart cities. In this paper, we propose a network coding (NC) scheme based on device-to-device communication for centralized wireless local area network (WLAN). In centralized WLAN scenarios, users’ communication can be implemented through multiple interaction of access points acted as relay nodes, which are similar to direct link session (DLS) protocol in IEEE 802.11 standard and we named the proposed protocol as advanced DLS scheme, where analytical performance results of the proposed two-way communication system using NC, with and without AP selection, are obtained in multi-AP cases, as well as the asymptotic results in high transmitting power. In addition, the performance comparisons of throughput, delay and collision probability of proposed scheme with IEEE 802.11 are provided in simulation, which present the advantages of centralized WLAN. By the analysis, it is found that the proposed advanced DLS scheme can achieve almost exactly the same bit error ratio performance as the optimal selection at all signal to noise ratio ranges. It is also shown that the proposed transmission scheme significantly outperform the current mode in two-way communication Nakagami channels owing to the diversity order and array gains. The proposed scheme only need little frame modification and can be compatible with the current standard. Finally, simulation results validate the theoretical analysis.     

Multilevel-coded QAM with MIMO turbo-equalization in broadband single-carrier signaling

A new scheme employing multilevel coded bit-interleaved transmission allowing for efficient turbo-equalization is proposed for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) broadband single-carrier signaling. The proposed scheme is based on block-partitioned hierarchical constellations and offers robustness in data throughput efficiency against varying spatio-temporal characteristics of fading channels. The proposed scheme is compared to a standard bit-interleaved-coded-modulation (BICM) system in frequency-selective channels, and found to offer better overall throughput. It is also shown that level-wise retransmission control with the proposed multilevel single-carrier signaling scheme can offer further throughput improvement. Channel measurement-based simulations are used to evaluate performances of both schemes in real fields. Channel parameter analysis using a superresolution technique is performed to clarify the underlying reasons for the performance characteristics of the systems.     

Queuing Scheme for Improved Downlink Throughput on WLANs

A transmission queuing scheme is described that increases downlink throughput on wireless local area networks (WLANs) while also increasing the total throughput. When the amount of uplink traffic increases on a WLAN, the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol, which is the prescribed scheme for IEEE 802.11 WLAN channel access, may substantially reduce the rate of downlink data frame transmission. This results in severe throughput degradation for mobile stations with downlink traffic. The proposed scheme comprises a transmission control function based on consecutive transmission, as described in the IEEE 802.11e standard, and a dynamic queue prioritization algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme increases the maximum total throughput for uplink and downlink traffic by 17% compared with the conventional distributed coordination function (DCF) scheme and that it reduces the difference between uplink and downlink throughput. In an environment where transmission errors occur, the difference in throughput is reduced by about 50% compared with the conventional schemes.

AN-aided full-duplex secure transmissions under imperfect self-interference cancellation

This paper considers a full-duplex (FD) secure transmission scheme with aid of the artificial noise deployed at both transmitter and receiver under imperfect self-interference cancellation. The expressions of secrecy and connection outage probabilities are derived, and hence, the secrecy throughput of the proposed scheme is evaluated. The results show that the performance of the proposed FD scheme outperforms that of conventional half-duplex and FD receiver schemes in terms of the secrecy outage probability. In addition, the proposed FD scheme can achieve high secrecy throughput under various locations of the eavesdropper. Especially when the eavesdropper is located close to the transmitter, the secrecy throughput of the proposed FD scheme is nearly double that of the half-duplex scheme with artificial noise injection while that of the scheme with FD jamming receiver goes to zero.

Effective resource scheduling scheme considering scheduling relevancy for downlink joint transmission system

Coordinated multi-point(CoMP) transmission is a promising technique to improve both cell average and cell edge throughput for long term evolution-advanced(LTE-A).For CoMP joint transmission(CoMP-JT) in heterogeneous scenario,if joint transmission(JT) users are firstly scheduled,other non-JT users will not be allocated sufficient resources,i.e.,scheduling relevancy exists in the users under different cells in the same coordination cluster.However,the CoMP system throughput will decline remarkably,if the impact of scheduling relevancy is not considered.To address this issue,this paper proposes a novel scheduling scheme for CoMP in heterogeneous scenario.The principles of the proposed scheme include two aspects.Firstly,this scheme gives priority to user fairness,based on an extended proportional fairness(PF) scheduling algorithm.Secondly,the throughput of the coordination cluster should be maintained at a high level.By taking the non-CoMP system as a baseline,the proposed scheme is evaluated by comparing to random PF(RPF) and orthogonal PF(OPF) scheme.System-level simulation results indicate that,the proposed scheme can achieve considerable performance gain in both cell average and cell edge throughput.     

Multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse for coordinated multi-point transmission

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) joint transmission is considered in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE)-advanced as a key technique to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve the cell-edge performance. To effectively apply CoMP joint transmission, efficient frequency reuse schemes need to be designed to support resource management cooperation among coordinated cells. However, most of the existing frequency reuse schemes are not suitable for CoMP systems due to not considering multi-point joint transmission scenarios in their frequency reuse rules. In addition, the restrictions of frequency resources in those schemes result in a high blocking probability. To solve the above two problems, a multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse (MBCFR) scheme is proposed in this paper, which reuses all the available frequency resources in each sector and supports multi-beam joint transmission for cell-edge users. Besides, the blocking probability is proved to be efficiently reduced. Moreover, a frequency-segment-sequence based MBCFR scheme is introduced to further reduce the inter-cell interference. System level simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme results in higher cell-edge average throughput and cell-average throughput with lower blocking probability.     

Design of a sensorless commutation IC for BLDC motors

This paper presents the design and realization of a sensorless commutation integrated circuit (IC) for brushless DC motors (BLDCMs) by using mixed-mode IC design methodology. The developed IC can generate accurate commutation signals for BLDCMs by using a modified back-EMF sensing scheme instead of using Hall-effect sensors. This IC can be also easily interfaced with a microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP) to complete the closed-loop control of a BLDCM. The developed sensorless commutation IC consists of an analog back-EMF processing circuit and a programmable digital commutation control circuit. Since the commutation control is very critical for BLDCM control, the proposed sensorless commutation IC provides a phase compensation circuit to compensate phase error due to low-pass filtering, noise, and nonideal effects of back-EMFs. By using mixed-mode IC design methodology, this IC solution requires less analog compensation circuits compared to other commercially available motor control ICs. Therefore, high maintainability and flexibility can be both achieved. The proposed sensorless commutation IC is integrated in a standard 0.35-/spl mu/m single-poly four-metal CMOS process, and the realization technique of this mixed-mode IC has been given. The proposed control scheme and developed realization techniques provide illustrative engineering procedures for the system-on-a-chip solution for advanced digital motor control. Simulation and experimental results have been carried out in verification of the proposed control scheme.     

Improving quality of service in WiMAX communication at vehicular speeds: a new call admission control solution

Call admission control (CAC) scheme serves as a useful tool for the WiMAX technology, which ensures that resources are not overcommitted and thereby, all existing connections enjoy guaranteed quality of service (QoS). CAC schemes largely rely on readily available information like currently available resources and bandwidth demand of the new call while making an acceptance or rejection decision once a new request arrives. Since wireless channels are not as reliable as wired communication, CAC scheme in WiMAX communication faces a serious challenge of making a right estimate of the usable channel capacity (i.e., effective throughput capacity) while computing the available resources in various communication scenarios. Existing CAC schemes do not consider the impact of mobility at vehicular speeds when computing the usable link capacity and available resources. The main limitation of such CAC scheme is that when a mobile node moves at a slower speed and makes a connection request to the base station (BS), the BS evaluates the situation based on the currently available information. The BS in such cases, is short‐sighted and often overestimates the available resources as it completely ignores the scenario when the SS reaches its top speed within a very short time after a CAC decision is made, causing a significant drop in usable throughput. In this paper, we address this limitation of existing WiMAX CAC schemes and propose a new CAC scheme that estimates the usable link capacity for WiMAX communication at vehicular speeds and uses this information while making a CAC decision. We also present a CAC scheme that takes the speed distribution model of a mobile node into account during the CAC decision making process. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme achieves lower dropping rate and improved QoS compared to existing schemes. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
