Integrated power and handoff control for next generation wireless networks

In this paper, joint downlink power control and handoff design is formulated as optimization problems that are amenable to dynamic programming (DP). Based on the DP solutions which are impractical, two new algorithms suitable for next generation wireless networks are proposed. The first one is an integrated hard handoff/power control scheme that endeavors a tradeoff between three performance criteria: transmitted power, number of handoffs, and call quality. The second is a soft handoff/power control algorithm that also takes into account the additional cost of utilizing soft handoff. The proposed algorithms present a paradigm shift in integrated handoff/power control by capturing the tradeoff between user satisfaction and network overhead, therefore enjoy the advantages of joint resource allocation, and provide significant improvement over existing methods. The achievable gains and the tradeoffs in both algorithms are verified through simulations.

A Guard Code Scheme for Handover Traffic Management in WCDMA Systems

A key performance indicator of mobile wireless networks is failure probability of handover calls. In this paper, we propose a Call Admission Control policy which prioritizes handover calls over new calls in WCDMA systems. The OVSF code occupancy of the system is modeled by a Markov chain and the differentiation between handover and new calls is performed at the code level by introducing a “guard code” scheme. The scheme belongs to the well-known family of guard channel schemes and reserves some code capacity to favor the continuation of handover calls over the new calls. As the management of the general case is intractable, we solve certain numerical instances of the problem and manage to calculate several performance metrics like new call blocking and handover failure probabilities and code utilization. We complete our study with simulation results in the case of higher OVSF code tree capacity.

该文提出了一种适用于低轨星座卫星通信系统多业务条件下的非充分保证切换策略。该策略在小于一个小区最大驻留时间的时间间隔内为到达小区的呼叫安排和预定信道,在呼叫结束环节作为补充策略对存在切换失败风险的信道进行调整。提出了策略在多业务条件下具体的实施方法,根据实时的切换呼叫性能调整策略的非充分程度。通过仿真,分析比较了不同程度非充分保证切换策略的QoS性能,验证了动态自适应调整非充分程度值的IGH策略的有效性。仿真结果表明,相对于保证切换策略,新策略以存在微小切换失败概率为代价,换取了新呼叫阻塞概率的显著降低,是一种适用于多业务低轨卫星通信系统的信道分配策略。     

Machine learning in vehicular networking: An overview

As vehicle complexity and road congestion increase, combined with the emergence of electric vehicles, the need for intelligent transportation systems to improve on-road safety and transportation efficiency using vehicular networks has become essential. The evolution of high mobility wireless networks will provide improved support for connected vehicles through highly dynamic heterogeneous networks.
