An Efficient CSI Feedback Scheme for MIMO-OFDM Wireless Systems

For antenna-array-based multiple-input multiple- output orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) wireless systems, gain in channel throughput reduced through sufficient feedback of the channel state information (CSI) is significant, particularly when the number of transmit antennas is larger than the number of receive antennas. In this letter, we demonstrate that, in such scenarios, (1) the CSI of each OFDM sub-carrier can be parameterized into a short bit stream by a proposed low-complexity QR decomposition on the corresponding MIMO channel matrix, (2) the overall CSI can be reliably represented by a proposed parameter interpolation on the above bit streams of only a fraction of sub-carriers, and (3) a MIMO-OFDM system with a low-rate CSI feedback parameterized above can provide a channel throughput comparable to the channel capacity.     

An Energy Efficient Autonomous Method for Coverage Optimization in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

In this paper, a distributed method for coverage optimization of random deployed WMSNs utilizing motility and mobility capabilities of nodes, is proposed. The aims followed by the method are first, maximizing the coverage ratio by minimizing both the covered overlapping areas, and the coverage holes after random deployment, and second, enhancing energy efficiency of the coverage optimization procedure, by minimizing the needed rotations and specially movements, comparing with the previous schemes. To these aims, the most appropriate location and orientation of the nodes are calculated round by round considering all the possible nested compositions of rotation and movement. But, rotating and moving the nodes are performed after terminating the algorithm rounds and achieving the decisive results. So, the proposed method does not impose the overhead of trial and error of rotation or relocation on the network nodes. The performance of the proposed approach has been compared with the previous works for different network configurations; simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the previous schemes in terms of both coverage ratio and energy efficiency.     

Efficient QoS Provisioning for Adaptive Multimedia in Mobile Communication Networks by Reinforcement Learning

The scarcity and large fluctuations of link bandwidth in wireless networks have motivated the development of adaptive multimedia services in mobile communication networks, where it is possible to increase or decrease the bandwidth of individual ongoing flows. This paper studies the issues of quality of service (QoS) provisioning in such systems. In particular, call admission control and bandwidth adaptation are formulated as a constrained Markov decision problem. The rapid growth in the number of states and the difficulty in estimating state transition probabilities in practical systems make it very difficult to employ classical methods to find the optimal policy. We present a novel approach that uses a form of discounted reward reinforcement learning known as Q-learning to solve QoS provisioning for wireless adaptive multimedia. Q-learning does not require the explicit state transition model to solve the Markov decision problem; therefore more general and realistic assumptions can be applied to the underlying system model for this approach than in previous schemes. Moreover, the proposed scheme can efficiently handle the large state space and action set of the wireless adaptive multimedia QoS provisioning problem. Handoff dropping probability and average allocated bandwidth are considered as QoS constraints in our model and can be guaranteed simultaneously. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in adaptive multimedia mobile communication networks.

Dynamic QoS Allocation for Multimedia Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

In this paper, we propose an approach to support QoS for multimedia applications in ad hoc wireless network. An ad hoc network is a collection of mobile stations forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized coordinator and is different from cellular networks which require fixed base stations interconnected by a wired backbone. It is useful for some special situations, such as battlefield communications and disaster recovery. The approach we provide uses CSMA/CA medium access protocol and additional reservation and control mechanisms to guarantee quality of service in ad hoc network system. The reason we choose CSMA protocol instead of other MAC protocols is that it is used in most of currently wireless LAN productions. Via QoS routing information and reservation scheme, network resources are dynamically allocated to individual multimedia application connections.

An Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation for Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Systems

In this paper, an energy efficient bandwidth allocation scheme is proposed for wireless communication systems. An optimal bandwidth expansion (OBE) scheme is proposed to assign the available system bandwidth for users. When the system bandwidth does not reach the full load, the remaining bandwidth can be energy-efficiently assigned to the other users. Simulation results show that the energy efficiency of the proposed OBE scheme outperforms the traditional same bandwidth expansion (SBE) scheme. Thus, the proposed OBE can effectively assign the system bandwidth and improve energy efficiency.

Low Complexity Modified Viterbi Decoder with Convolution Codes for Power Efficient Wireless Communication

To attain high quality of service (QoS) with efficient power consumption with minimum delay through Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) through mesh network is an important research area. But the existing real-time routing system involves multiple hops with time varying mobility channels for fastest data propagation is greatly degraded with power utilization factor through congestion traffic queue. Required allocation and resource management through desired access points plays vital roles in which multiple hops demands delay rates by interconnected data nodes. In order to achieve high throughput with minimum delay the QoS in real-time data communication have to be concentrated by using Viterbi decoder with convolution codes. By undertaking IEEE 802.11 WLAN physical layers afford multiple transmission rates by engaging various modulations and channel coding schemes, major point arises to pinpoint the desired transmission rate to enhance the performance. Because each node exhibits different dynamic characteristics based on the token rings passed from the server to the end links. In order to validate the real-time traffic with power consumption and average delay communication, an improved Viterbi decoder is designed with convolution codes to determine accurate channel estimation based on learning the utilization ration of the needed to execute the current wireless channel optimization. The proposed methodology can attain accurate channel estimation without additional implementation effort and modifications to the current 802.11 standard. And each node is capable to choose the optimized transmission rate, so that the system performance can be improved with very minimum power with high packet transmission ratio with minimum traffic rate to improve QoS. The proposed scheme also offers an appealing combination of the allocation of transmission rate and the current link condition. Based on the basic relationship between them, the proposed decoding scheme maximizes the throughput with periodic learning of channel variation and system status.
