Multilevel Downlink Relay Queue Aware And Loss Recovery Scheduling For Media Transmission In Wireless Cellular Networks
In this document, we study the result of multi hop relaying on the throughput of the downstream channel in cellular networks. In particular, we contrast the throughput of the multi hop method through that of the conventional cellular system, representing the feasible throughput development by the multi hop relaying under transitive transmission considerations. We moreover propose a hybrid control plan for the multi hop communicate, in which we activist the use of in cooperation, the straight transmission and the transitive multi hop relaying. Our study illustrates that the majority of the throughput gain can be obtained with the related of a transitive relaying scheme. Important throughput improvement could be moreover obtained by operating the simultaneous relaying transmission in conjunction with the non simultaneous transmission. We also disagree here that the multi hop relaying technology can be developed for mitigating injustice in qualityof- service (QoS), which arrive due to the location-dependent signal quality. Our outcomes demonstrate that the multi hop system can provide more even QoS over the cell district. The multi hop cellular system design can also be used as a selfconfiguring network mechanism that efficiently contains variability of traffic distribution. We have studied the throughput development for the consistent, as well as for the non uniform traffic distribution, and we conclude that the utilization of transitive relaying in cellular networks would be relatively robust to alter in the actual traffic distribution
Mode Selection for Multi-Hop Cellular Networks with Mobile Relays
Multi-hop Cellular Networks using Mobile Relays
(MCN-MRs) are being investigated to help address certain
limitations of traditional single-hop cellular communications. A
key element of MCN-MR technologies is the mode selection
scheme that selects the most adequate connection mode
(traditional single hop cellular or multi-hop link) for each
transmission. This paper proposes a novel mode selection scheme
that uses context information to select the connection mode, and
can adapt its decisions to the operating conditions. This study
shows that the proposed scheme outperforms distance-based
mode selection schemes, and helps improving the MCN-MR
performance with respect to single-hop cellular communications
Game-theoretic Resource Allocation Methods for Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication
Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks allows
mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to use the licensed spectrum
allocated to cellular services for direct peer-to-peer transmission. D2D
communication can use either one-hop transmission (i.e., in D2D direct
communication) or multi-hop cluster-based transmission (i.e., in D2D local area
networks). The D2D devices can compete or cooperate with each other to reuse
the radio resources in D2D networks. Therefore, resource allocation and access
for D2D communication can be treated as games. The theories behind these games
provide a variety of mathematical tools to effectively model and analyze the
individual or group behaviors of D2D users. In addition, game models can
provide distributed solutions to the resource allocation problems for D2D
communication. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the applications of
game-theoretic models to study the radio resource allocation issues in D2D
communication. The article also outlines several key open research directions.Comment: Accepted. IEEE Wireless Comms Mag. 201
Embedding of Virtual Network Requests over Static Wireless Multihop Networks
Network virtualization is a technology of running multiple heterogeneous
network architecture on a shared substrate network. One of the crucial
components in network virtualization is virtual network embedding, which
provides a way to allocate physical network resources (CPU and link bandwidth)
to virtual network requests. Despite significant research efforts on virtual
network embedding in wired and cellular networks, little attention has been
paid to that in wireless multi-hop networks, which is becoming more important
due to its rapid growth and the need to share these networks among different
business sectors and users. In this paper, we first study the root causes of
new challenges of virtual network embedding in wireless multi-hop networks, and
propose a new embedding algorithm that efficiently uses the resources of the
physical substrate network. We examine our algorithm's performance through
extensive simulations under various scenarios. Due to lack of competitive
algorithms, we compare the proposed algorithm to five other algorithms, mainly
borrowed from wired embedding or artificially made by us, partially with or
without the key algorithmic ideas to assess their impacts.Comment: 22 page

System design issues in dense urban millimeter wave cellular networks
Upcoming deployments of cellular networks will see an increasing use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, roughly between 20-100 GHz. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate some key design issues in dense urban mmWave cellular networks by developing mathematical models that are representative of these networks.
In the first contribution, stochastic geometry (SG) is used to study the per user rate performance of multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) in downlink mmWave cellular network incorporating the impact of a spatially sparse blockage dependent multipath channel and hybrid precoding. Performance of MU-MIMO is then compared with single-user beamforming and spatial multiplexing in different network scenarios considering coverage, rate and power consumption tradeoffs to suggest when to use which MIMO scheme.
The second contribution reconsiders a popular received signal power model used in system capacity analysis of MIMO wireless networks employing single user beamforming. A modification is suggested to the model by introducing a correction factor. An approximate analysis is done to justify incorporating such a factor and simulations are performed to validate it's importance. Although this contribution does not study a new system design issue for mmWave cellular, it highlights a shortcoming with using the popular received signal power model to study design issues in mmWave cellular networks.
The third and fourth contributions investigate resource allocation in self-backhauled mmWave cellular networks. In order to enable affordable initial deployments of mmWave cellular, self-backhauling is envisioned as a cost-saving solution. The third contribution investigates how to divide resources between uplink and downlink for access and backhaul in self-backhauled networks with single hop wireless backhauling. The performance of dynamic time division duplexing (TDD) and integrated access-backhaul (IAB) is compared with static TDD and orthogonal access backhaul (OAB) strategies using a SG based model. The last contribution of this dissertation addresses the following key question for self-backhauled networks. What is the maximum extended coverage area that a single fiber site can support using multi-hop relaying, while still achieving a minimum target per user data rate? The problem of maximizing minimum per user rates is studied considering a series of deployments with a single fiber site and varying number of relays. Several design guidelines for multi-hop mmWave cellular networks are provided based on the analytical and empirical results.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
Opportunistic Networking for Improving the Energy Efficiency of Multi-Hop Cellular Networks
Relaying technologies can help address the capacity
and energy-efficiency challenges faced by cellular networks as a
result of the rapid increase in mobile data consumption. A nonnegligible
portion of such consumption corresponds to delay
tolerant services. This delay tolerance offers the possibility for
opportunistic networking to exploit contact opportunities
between mobile devices in order to reduce the impact of data
traffic on the cellular capacity and energy-efficiency without
sacrificing the end-user quality of service. In this context, this
paper investigates the use of opportunistic forwarding in MCNMR
(Multi-hop Cellular Networks with Mobile Relays) to reduce
energy consumption in the case of delay tolerant services. The
study proposes to exploit context information provided at a low
cost by the cellular infrastructure to efficiently select the
forwarding node in a two-hop MCN-MR scenario. The proposed
solution results in significant energy savings compared to
traditional single-hop cellular communications and other
forwarding solutions reported in the literatureThis work is supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of

Store, carry and forward for energy efficiency in multi-hop cellular networks with mobile relays
Abstract The wide scale adoption of smartphones is
boosting cellular data traffic with the consequent capacity
constraints of cellular systems and increase in energy
consumption. A significant portion of cellular data traffic can be
deemed as delay tolerant. Such tolerance offers possibilities for
designing novel communications and networking solutions that
can accommodate the delay tolerant cellular data traffic while
reducing their impact on the overall cellular capacity and energy
consumption. In this context, this work studies the use of
opportunistic store, carry and forward techniques in Multi-Hop
Cellular Networks (MCN) to reduce energy consumption for
delay tolerant traffic. The study focuses on two-hop MCN
networks using mobile relays (MCN-MR), and identifies the
optimum mobile relay location and the location from which the
relay should start forwarding the information to the cellular base
station in order to minimize the overall energy consumption. The
study shows that the use of opportunistic store, carry and
forward techniques in MCN-MR can significantly reduce energy
consumption compared to other solutions, including traditional
single-hop cellular systems or direct contact store, carry and
forward solutions.This work is supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and FEDER funds (TEC2011–26109)and the Local Government of Valencia with reference ACIF/2010/161 and BEFPI/2012/06
A Charging and Rewarding Scheme for Packet Forwarding
In multi-hop cellular networks, data packets have to be relayed hop by hop from a given mobile station to a base station and vice-versa. This means that the mobile stations must accept to forward information for the benefit of other stations. In this paper, we propose an incentive mechanism that is based on a charging/rewarding scheme and that makes collaboration rational for selfish nodes. We base our solution on symmetric cryptography to cope with the limited resources of the mobile stations. We provide a set of protocols and study their robustness with respect to various attacks. By leveraging on the relative stability of the routes, our solution leads to a very moderate overhead
