Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Network with Grouping D2D

In this paper,a new communication model is built named grouping D2D(GD2D).Different from the traditional D2D coordination,we proposed GD2D communication in licensed and unlicensed spectrum simultaneously.We formulate a resource allocation problem,which aims at maximizing the energy efficiency(EE)of the system while guaranteeing the quality-of-service(Qos)of users.To efficiently solve this problem,the non-convex optimization problem is first transformed into a convex optimization problem.By transforming the fractional-form problem into an equivalent subtractive-form problem,an iterative power allocation algorithm is proposed to maximize the system EE.Moreover,the optimal closedform power allocation expressions are derived by the Lagrangian approach.Simulation results show that our algorithm achieves higher EE performance than the traditional D2D communication scheme.     

Pathophysiological Reconstruction of a Tissue-Specific Multiple-Organ On-A-Chip for Type 2 Diabetes Emulation using 3D Cell Printing

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), a chronic complex disease with high prevalence, causes severe damage to various organs. T2D has many etiologies that have not been fully elucidated. Although various models have been created to understand T2D, reconstructing the tissue-specific microenvironment and complications of T2D remain difficult. Therefore, a dynamic multiple-organ on-a-chip that mimics T2D in a hyperglycemic environment and visceral adipose tissue (vAT) using 3D cell printing with decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioinks is developed. This chip composed of separate compartments for the pancreas, adipose tissue, and liver, closely related to T2D, and a retinal compartment is added to confirm T2D complications. Furthermore, the pathological features of T2D are clearly revealed in the chip with vAT-derived dECM bioink in a hyperglycemic environment. These pathological features caused cellular dysfunctions of the retinal compartment. Moreover, treated T2D medications on the chip showed clinically identical efficacy. The chip is suitable for recapitulating the key features of T2D and is a promising platform for drug testing and T2D complication research.     

Semi‐distributed resource management for underlay D2D communication with user's cooperation

Device‐to‐device (D2D) communication is a viable solution proposed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to handle the enormous number of devices and expected data explosion in 5G. It is competent in enhancing the system performances such as increased data rate, reduced delay, and less power consumption while maintaining a low load on the base station (BS). In this paper, channel assignment and power control scheme is proposed for underlay D2D system where one cellular channel is allowed to be shared among multiple D2D pairs. This will lead to enhanced spectral efficiency on the cost of additional interferences introduced among the D2D and cellular users (CUs). Our aim is to maximize the D2D throughput without degrading the performance of existing CU that is sharing the channel with D2D. This is achieved by maintaining a threshold signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) for each CU. A centralized channel assignment algorithm based on the well‐known two‐sided preference Gale‐Shapley algorithm is proposed, named as RAbaGS‐HR. Further, suboptimal distributed power control (DPC) algorithms are proposed for both uplink and downlink D2D. The novelty of the work lies in the facts that a channel is shared among multiple D2D users and the optimal power is calculated for all the users sharing the same channel under the full consideration of all kinds of interferences unlike most of the existing work that either assumed the fixed CU power or ignored the interferences among the D2D users. Numerical results show the efficacy of the proposed algorithms in terms of significant gain in throughput with a very low computational cost. In addition to this, the energy efficiency (EE) is also analyzed for different D2D user density, with respect to average circuit power consumption and D2D maximum transmit power.     

异构云无线接入网场景下D2D通信资源共享与分配

针对异构云无线接入网中的前向链路受限问题,提出了一种基于干扰阈值的设备到设备(Device-to-Device,D2D)多用户分簇方案,并对系统信道和功率资源的分配进行优化。首先根据D2D用户之间的干扰级别,利用着色图理论对多用户进行分簇;然后,在满足D2D用户和蜂窝用户服务质量约束下,建立了基于D2D用户和速率最大化的资源分配模型,并进一步采用二分法对已分簇的D2D用户进行功率优化分配。仿真实验结果验证了所提方案相比传统方案,系统频谱利用率提高了55%以上。     

Context-dependent multilevel pattern matching for lossless image compression

In this paper, the multilevel pattern matching (MPM) code for compression of one-dimensional (1D) sequences is first generalized to compress two-dimensional (2D) images, resulting in a 2D multilevel pattern matching (MPM) code. It is shown that among all images of n pixels, the worst case redundancy of the 2D MPM code against any finite-template-based arithmetic code is O(1//spl radic/logn). This result contrasts unfavorably with the fact that among all 1D sequences of length n, the MPM code has a worst case redundancy of O(1/logn) against any finite-state arithmetic code; this is caused by the so-called 2D boundary effect. To alleviate the 2D boundary effect, we extend the 2D MPM code to the case of context modeling, yielding a context-dependent 2D MPM code. It is shown that among all images of n pixels, the context-dependent 2D MPM code has an O(1/logn) worst case redundancy against any finite-template-based arithmetic code satisfying a mild condition; this redundancy is better than that of the 2D MPM code without context models. Experimental results demonstrate that the context-dependent 2D MPM code significantly outperforms the 2D MPM code without context models for bi-level images. It is also demonstrated that, in terms of compression rates, the context-dependent 2D MPM code performs significantly better than the progressive coding mode of JBIG1 for both textual and bi-level images, and better than or comparably to the sequential coding mode of JBIG1 and JBIG2. In addition to its excellent compression performance, the context-dependent 2D MPM code allows progressive transmission of images.

基于加权二部图及贪婪策略的蜂窝网络D2D通信资源分配

D2D(Device-to-Device)通信是解决频谱资源稀缺问题的关键技术之一。该文研究蜂窝网络中“many-to-many”的复杂场景,即单个RB(Resource Block)可以分配给多对D2D用户重用,并且允许单个D2D用户对使用多个RB,其中D2D用户对数量远多于蜂窝用户设备(Cellular User Equipment, CUE)数量和RB数量。考虑CUE对资源使用具有更高优先级,将此优化问题分解为蜂窝用户资源分配和D2D用户资源重用两个阶段。在第1阶段,提出基于公平性的循环二部图匹配(Fairness-based Circular Bipartite Graph Matching, FCBGM)算法,将现有的RB分配给所有CUE,以最大化蜂窝用户和速率。在第2阶段,分别提出基于二部图的资源重用(Bipartite Graph-based Resource Reuse, BGRR)算法和基于贪婪策略的资源重用(Greedy-based Resource Reuse, GRR)算法,目标是将已经分配给CUE的RB再次分配给D2D用户重用,以最大化系统和速率,同时确保CUE的基本速率需求。仿真结果表明,在D2D用户对数量远大于CUE数量和RB数量的情况下,与现有典型算法相比,所提算法能够有效提高系统和速率,增加D2D接入率,同时兼顾用户公平性和服务质量需求。     

Interference coordination schemes for cellular network assisted device-to-device multicast

In this paper, a multicast concept for device-to-device （D2D） communication underlaying a cellular infrastruc~tre is investigated. To increase the overall capacity and improve resource utilization, a novel interference coordination scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme includes two steps. First, in order to mitigate the interference from D2D multicast transmission to cellular networks （CNs）, a dynamic power control scheme is proposed that can determine the upper bound of D2D transmitter power based on the location of base station （BS） and areas of adjacent cells from the coverage area of D2D multicast group. Next, an interference limited area control scheme that reduces the interference from CNs to each D2D multicast receiver is proposed. The proposed scheme does not allow the coexistence of cellular user equipments （CUEs） located in the interference limited area to reuse the same resources as the D2D multicast group. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed schemes improve the performance of the hybrid system compared to the conventional ways.     

UAV-assisted multi-hop D2D relaying for communication in large disaster area

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted communication is a promising technique for enabling ground users in a non-functional area (NFA) or disaster area to communicate. All the base stations in the disaster area may be partially or fully damaged due to the natural calamity. Device-to-device (D2D) communication can be a viable solution for immediate connection between users in an NFA. We propose a UAV-assisted multi-hop D2D communication following a hybrid power-time switching (PTS) in this paper. Moreover, a D2D user of a cluster can communicate with another D2D user in a different cluster through UAVs. However, D2D users can harvest energy from their respective ad hoc energy stations and forward the information to the nearby D2D user following a hybrid PTS-based strategy. We propose a time frame for the same and show a node-based energy harvesting strategy. The expressions of outage probability, throughput, end-to-end energy consumption, and energy efficiency are developed for the Rician and Nakagami-m faded channel. The impact of several network parameters such as energy harvesting factor, energy harvesting efficiency, and fading parameter on the network performance is also indicated.

基于大规模MIMO和D2D技术的混合网络能量效率研究

文章研究了基于大规模多输入多输出（multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO）和端到端（device-to-device,D2D）技术的双层混合网络及其能量效率,面向D2D用户（D2D user,DU）提出了无线能量采集方案。在该混合网络模型中,宏蜂窝基站由大规模MIMO天线阵列构成,D2D网络覆盖在宏蜂窝之上,与蜂窝网共享频谱。为了保证D2D通信,系统配置了由小规模MIMO天线构成的专用能量发射基站（power beacon,PB）,其通过迫零预编码向能量约束的D2D发射机传送能量;同时,为了提高网络的能量效率,DU还可以从附近蜂窝网用户（cellular user,CU）的射频（radio frequency,RF）干扰信号中采集能量。对此混合网模型和能量采集方案,文章通过假设网络中CU、DU以及PB的位置服从独立泊松点过程和利用随机几何分析方法,基于反功率控制方案得到了网络中任一D2D发射机通过采集足够能量来建立通信链路的概率,其以简单的积分形式给出。分析和数值结果表明,文章提出的无线能量采集方案由于PB的配置保证了D2D通信的可靠性;同时又因为充分利用了附近CU的RF干扰信号,有效提高了D2D用户采集足够能量的概率,节约了PB的能量,改善了系统的能量效率。      

提高蜂窝网络中数据分发效率的D2D协作转发算法

Device-to-Device(D2D)通信是一种移动终端在蜂窝通信系统的控制下使用授权频段进行点到点通信的新型技术。通过允许接收终端间的数据转发,D2D通信可以用来提高蜂窝网络中的数据分发效率。现有的终端间转发算法,没有充分考虑D2D链路的差异,很难实现频谱资源的高效利用。为此,该文提出了一种基于多跳中继的D2D协作转发算法,包括多播和单播两个模式。该算法根据D2D链路质量自适应地选择最优的中继、路由及传输跳数,能够充分利用D2D链路的多信道分集增益。仿真结果表明,该文所提出的算法能够显著地提高D2D转发的资源利用率,进而提升数据分发业务的吞吐量。     

Media Independent Mobility Management for D2D Communications over Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets)

The rapid growth of traffic demand and innovation of mobile networks have pushed the current communication infrastructure to provide a tight integration of different wireless technologies. On the one hand, all user connections are expected to be heterogeneous in future networks and thus an intelligent mobility management is essential to satisfy the requirements of lower latency, less power consumptions and last but not least possible uninterrupted ongoing session when a User Equipment (UE) moves across network boundaries. On the other hand, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication as a revolutionary technology to enhance network performance has shown a great potential in dominating future communication market. Consequently, in this paper, we investigate the mobility management problem for D2D communications in heterogeneous networks. We leverage on IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Service (MIS) and propose a new framework, so-called enhanced version of IEEE 802.21 MIS that supports D2D communication (E-MIS-D2D) to enhance D2D mobility experience over heterogeneous networks. The E-MIS-D2D is a network assisted and initiated architecture, in which a load-aware mode selection algorithm is also proposed for selecting the transmission mode between D2D and non-D2D modes. Through extensive simulations, we validate that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods in terms of packet loss ratio, average throughput, latency, bandwidth usage and load rate of eNB.

     

5G网络中DR-OC型D2D通信收益模型及定价研究

Device-to-Device(D2D)通信是下一代(5G)移动网络的重要组成部分。D2D设备间在不依赖基站的情况下直接进行数据传输,并通过重复使用蜂窝小区的频率资源从而提高移动通信系统的容量。为了激励蜂窝网络用户参与到D2D通信,运营商对D2D通信的定价是一个很关键的问题。文中首先介绍了D2D的基本概念及其四种主要类型,并就其中DR-OC型D2D通信定价提出了运营商和D2D设备的收益模型,然后仿真分析了网络中谱单价和奖励带宽对双方收益的影响。仿真结果显示运营商可以通过调整奖励带宽来协调双方收益以激励更多的用户参与到D2D通信。     

In Situ Growth of 2D Perovskite Capping Layer for Stable and Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

2D halide perovskites have recently been recognized as a promising avenue in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in terms of encouraging stability and defect passivation effect. However, the efficiency (less than 15%) of ultrastable 2D Ruddlesden–Popper PSCs still lag far behind their traditional 3D perovskite counterparts. Here, a rationally designed 2D‐3D perovskite stacking‐layered architecture by in situ growing 2D PEA₂PbI₄ capping layers on top of 3D perovskite film, which drastically improves the stability of PSCs without compromising their high performance, is reported. Such a 2D perovskite capping layer induces larger Fermi‐level splitting in the 2D‐3D perovskite film under light illumination, resulting in an enhanced open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) and thus a higher efficiency of 18.51% in the 2D‐3D PSCs. Time‐resolved photoluminescence decay measurements indicate the facilitated hole extraction in the 2D‐3D stacking‐layered perovskite films, which is ascribed to the optimized energy band alignment and reduced nonradiative recombination at the subgap states. Benefiting from the high moisture resistivity as well as suppressed ion migration of the 2D perovskite, the 2D‐3D PSCs show significantly improved long‐term stability, retaining nearly 90% of the initial power conversion efficiency after 1000 h exposure in the ambient conditions with a high relative humidity level of 60 ± 10%.     

Deep Learning Based Physical Layer Security of D2D Underlay Cellular Network

In order to improve the physical layer security of the device-to-device(D2D)cellular network,we propose a collaborative scheme for the transmit antenna selection and the optimal D2D pair establishment based on deep learning.Due to the mobility of users,using the current channel state information to select a transmit antenna or establish a D2D pair for the next time slot cannot ensure secure communication.Therefore,in this paper,we utilize the Echo State Network(ESN)to select the transmit antenna and the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)to establish the D2D pair.The simulation results show that the LSTMbased and ESN-based collaboration scheme can effectively improve the security capacity of the cellular network with D2D and increase the life of the base station.     

二维稀疏信号的联合压缩感知方法研究

传统的压缩感知理论主要考虑一维稀疏信号的感知和重构。当待处理信号是二维(2 dimension, 2D)或多维时,若直接将信号向量化处理,会造成感知矩阵维度急剧变大,使得存储和后续的重构复杂度大大增加,同时重构性能下降。为实现对2D信号的高效感知和快速重构,本文首先构建一个针对2D信号的模拟信息转换(Analog-to-Information Conversion, AIC)感知框架,通过行、列同时感知的策略实现量测值获取,以达到降低量测值存储维度的目的;其次针对压缩采样后的量测数据,提出一种2D快速迭代收缩阈值算法(2D Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm, 2D-FISTA),并对该算法的基本迭代格式、收敛条件、参数选择以及算法收敛速度等问题进行了详细分析。仿真结果表明,所研究的算法可直接处理2D信号,具有重构速度快和存储量低等优势。      

A non-iterative resource allocation strategy for device-to-device communications in underlaying cellular networks

We develop a joint spectrum sharing and power control strategy to increase the admissible number of device-to-device (D2D) links in an underlaying cellular network while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) of both D2D links and cellular users (CUs). The proposed spectrum sharing algorithm, termed as interference-filling (IF), examines whether the SINR requirements of all the existing CUs and D2D users can be met if a new D2D pair is admitted. In the sequel, two power control schemes are proposed to check the resultant interference level and increase the transmit power of the admitted D2D pairs group-by-group to further improve the system throughput. IF algorithm is based on the ordering statistics of the interference amounts from D2D transmitters to CUs, thus neither grid searching nor iteration is needed. Furthermore, the two proposed power control schemes are in closed-forms. These two favorable properties make the proposed strategy cost-effective and computationally efficient. Numerical results show the effect of the proposed IF and power control schemes in term of admissible D2D pairs and system sum rate.     

Effective Interference Cancellation Schemes for Device-to-Device Multicast Uplink Period Underlaying Cellular Networks

Device-to-Device (D2D) multicast will become an important technology with the increasing requirements of local communication services in future networks. To increase the overall capacity and improve resource utilization, a novel interference coordination scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme includes three steps. First, in order to mitigate the interference from D2D multicast transmission to cellular networks (CNs), a dynamic power control scheme is proposed that can determine the upper bound of D2D transmitter power based on the location of Base Station and areas of adjacent cells from the coverage area of D2D multicast group. Next, an interference limited area control scheme that reduces the interference from CNs to each D2D multicast receiver is proposed. The proposed scheme does not allow the coexistence of cellular equipments (CUEs) located in the interference limited area to reuse the same resources as the D2D multicast group. Then two resource block (RB) allocation rules are proposed to select the appropriate RBs from a candidate RB set for D2D multicast group. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed schemes improve the performance of the hybrid system compared to the conventional ways.
