Handover and Uplink Power Control Performance in the 3.84 Mcps TDD mode of UTRA Network

In this article we consider the performance of the 3.84 Mcpstime-division duplex (TDD) mode of UTRA (Universal TerrestrialRadio Access) network. We emphasize two of the radio resourcemanagement algorithms, handover and uplink power control, whoserole in the overall system performance is studied extensively.First, a handover algorithm used in WCDMA (Wideband Code DivisionMultiple Access) standard is considered in a TDD-mode operation.This gives rise to a careful setting of different handoverparameters, and the evaluation of the effects to the systemperformance. Secondly, the specified uplink power controlalgorithm is considered. Since it is based on several user-mademeasurements which may involve both random and systematic errors acareful study about the suitability of the power control scheme iscarried out.

A preset threshold based cross-tier handover algorithm for uplink co-channel interference mitigation in two-tier femtocell networks

This paper considers the co-channel interference mitigation problem and proposes a preset threshold based cross-tier handover algorithm for uplink co-channel interference mitigation in two-tier femtocell networks. The proposed cross-tier handover algorithm introduces a preset threshold cross-tier handover policy, which takes into account both the time-to-stay (TTS) of a macrocell user equipment (MUE)/femtocell user equipment (FUE) in a femtocell/the macrocell, and the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at a femtocell access point (FAP)/the macrocell base station (MBS) in making a cross-tier handover decision for an MUE/FUE. A cross-tier handover decision is made by comparing the TTS of an MUE/FUE in a femtocells/the macrocell and the SINR at a FAP/the MBS with a preset TTS threshold and different SINR thresholds. The objective of the preset threshold based cross-tier handover algorithm is to increase the received SINR at the MBS/FAPs and thus improve the network performance. The performance of the proposed cross-tier handover algorithm with the minimum power transmission and the optimal power transmission is analyzed, respectively. Numerical results show that the proposed preset threshold based cross-tier handover algorithm can significantly improve the network performance in terms of the outage probability, user sum rate, and network capacity.

Hybrid channel adaptive handover scheme for non-GEO satellitediversity based systems

This article presents an improved hybrid handover scheme, which is proposed for the satellite component of UMTS. The scheme is channel adaptive and is generic as it can operate in soft and hard handover. The handover algorithm uses different power thresholds to add/drop a highest and second highest satellite and uses dual satellite diversity only under critical channel conditions. The analysis includes the simulation of a LEO constellation and the elevation-dependent satellite channel. Based on the channel time series the hybrid scheme shows improved performance when compared to existing handover schemes and is less bandwidth demanding than continuous diversity

Coverage and capacity optimization in LTE network based on non-cooperative games

As to provide the optimal coverage and capacity performance,support high-data-rate service and decrease the capital expenditures and operational expenditures(OPEX)(CAPEX) for operator,the coverage and capacity optimization(CCO) is one of the key use cases in long term evolution(LTE) self-organization network(SON).In LTE system,some factors(e.g.load,traffic type,user distribution,uplink power setting,inter-cell interference,etc.) limit the coverage and capacity performance.From the view of single cell,it always pursuits maximize performance of coverage and capacity by optimizing the uplink power setting and intra-cell resource allocation,but it may result in decreasing the performance of its neighbor cells.Therefore,the benefit of every cell conflicts each other.In order to tradeoff the benefit of every cell and maximize the performance of the whole network,this paper proposes a multi-cell uplink power allocation scheme based on non-cooperative games.The scheme aims to make the performance of coverage and capacity balanced by the negotiation of the uplink power parameters among multi-cells.So the performance of every cell can reach the Nash equilibrium,making it feasible to reduce the inter-cell interference by setting an appropriate uplink power parameter.Finally,the simulation result shows the proposed algorithm can effectively enhance the performance of coverage and capacity in LTE network.     

An efficient handover decision method based on frame retransmission and data rate for multi-rate WLANs

To enhance the communication performance at handover between multi-rate WLANs, we propose a new handover decision method that can be applied to our previously reported handover management scheme, which handled a handover by utilizing two WLAN interfaces (IFs) through cross-layer collaboration between layer 2 and layer 4. It should be noted that we here propose a new handover decision scheme for traversing between multi-rate WLANs, while our previous decision scheme works only in fixed-rate WLANs. In this paper, to treat a handover between multi-rate WLANs, we employ two kinds of information: (1) the most frequently used data rate (MFDR) for assessing the stable communication performance of a multi-rate WLAN, and (2) the frame retransmission ratio (FRR) for assessing its exact communication performance. The MFDR enables us to estimate the area where we should start handover. If the MFDRs of two interfaces are same in the area, the FRR allows us to compare the wireless condition on the two interfaces precisely to give an optimal handover point. Through simulation experiments, we show that our proposed scheme certainly estimates an appropriate handover point as a result of multi-path transmission (s), thereby providing handover successfully. That is, the proposed method can determine handover at an optimal point depending on the various distances between access points, the mobile node (MN) velocity, and the MN moving pattern. Moreover, our proposed scheme prevents the redundant network load caused by multi-path transmission as much as possible, thereby providing the ideal TCP communication performance.     

An uplink resource allocation scheme for OFDMA‐based cognitive radio networks

Cognitive radio makes it possible for an unlicensed user to access a spectrum unoccupied by licensed users. In cognitive radio networks, extra constraints on interference temperature need to be introduced into radio resource allocation. In this paper, the uplink radio resource allocation is investigated for OFDMA‐based cognitive radio networks. In consideration of the characteristics of cognitive radio and OFDMA, an improved water‐filling power allocation scheme is proposed under the interference temperature constraints for optimal performance. Based on the improved water‐filling power allocation, a simple subcarrier allocation algorithm for uplink is proposed. The subcarrier allocation rules are obtained by theoretical deduction. In the uplink subcarrier allocation algorithm, the subcarriers are allocated to the users with the best channel quality initially and then adjusted to improve the system performance. A cursory water‐filling level estimation method is used to decrease the complexity of the algorithm. Asymptotic performance analysis gives a lower bound of the stability of the water‐filling level estimation. The complexity and performance of the proposed radio resource allocation scheme are investigated by theoretical analysis and numerical results. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

一种新颖的TD-LTE系统上行小区间干扰管理方法

For OFDM based system with Single-Frequency Networking (SFN), ICI (inter-cell interference), especially uplink ICI, becomes a bottleneck to improve system performance. Since the conventional interference management scheme with OI (overload indicator) can not show the instantaneous ICI, this paper proposes a method to reduce ICI by utilizing channel reciprocity of TD-LTE system. In the proposed scheme, UE shall make a decision whether to reduce its power or not after predicting the instantaneous ICI level according to the scheduling results. The system simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the uplink ICI effectively and improve the system performance such as system spectrum efficiency, 10% user throughput, 50% user throughput, packet drop rate etc. significantly while keep 5% cell edge user throughput loss less than 5%. For example, the proposed scheme improved system spectrum efficiency about 50% and 50% user throughput gain is larger than 140%. Meanwhile, the proposed scheme controls the system ICI level and variance effectively. The mean system ICI level and variance are reduced by 4.5dB and 18dB respectively. The proposed scheme can be joint implemented with those existing ICI mitigation methods such as (soft) frequency reuse, power control etc. to further improve the system performance.     

Study and enhancement on buffer management for smooth handover in MIPv6

For improving Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) performance in mobile environment,smooth handover with buffer management has been proposed to realize seamless handovers. However in our simulation, even if smooth handover in Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is implemented, TCP can not always achieve better performance due to packets forwarding burst. Based on the study of buffer management for smooth handover, this paper proposes an enhanced buffer management scheme for smooth handover to improve TCP performance. In this scheme, a packet-pair probing technology is adopted to estimate the available bandwidth of the new path from Previous router (Prtr) to Mobile Node (MN), which will be used by Prtr to control the buffered packets forwarding. The simulation results demonstrate that smooth handover with this scheme can achieve better TCP performance than the original scheme.     

Low latency handover scheme for 5G dual-connectivity scenario

A novel handover scheme was proposed for the secondary node (SN) unchanged 5G dual-connectivity scenarios.In the proposed novel scheme,the SN connection was maintained for data packet transmission during the handover,however,both the main node (MN) and the SN were completely disconnected in the legacy scheme.The transmission delay during handover was decreased greatly by the proposed scheme.Firstly,the legacy handover scheme was analyzed and its deficiency was figured out.Then,the novel mechanism’s signaling interaction was elaborated and the time sequence models for the novel scheme and the legacy scheme were further established.Finally,based on the time sequence model,the performance evaluation processes were carried out in terms of mathematical modeling and experimental simulations.The analysis results demonstrate that the proposed novel scheme reduces the single packet transmission delay,the average transmission delay and the total transmission delay,and has good performance advantages.
