Resource Allocation in Service Area based Networks

By applying joint transmission in the downlink and joint detection in the uplink, the novel service area architecture allows multiple mobile stations to be simultaneously active on the same OFDM subcarrier without causing interference to each other. Moreover, the proposed adaptive subcarrier and power allocation techniques are shown to be able to improve the spectral efficiency significantly in service area based networks. The significance of the frequency selectivity of wireless channels, the correlation among users’ spatial signatures and the presence of interferences to resource allocation is also assessed through simulations.Durch den Einsatz von Joint Detection in der Aufwärtsstrecke und Joint Transmission in der Abwärtsstrecke ermöglicht die neuartige Service Area Architektur es mehreren Mobilstationen in dem selben OFDM-Subträger gleichzeitig interferenzfrei aktiv zu sein. Darüber hinaus wrid gezeigt, dass die vorgeschlagenen adaptiven Subträger- und Leistungsallokationstechniken die spektrale Effizienz eines Service Area basierten Mobilfunksystems erheblich erhöhen können. Die Bedeutung der Frequnzselektivität der Funkkanäle, der Korrelation zwischen räumlichen Signaturen der Teinehmer und der Existenz der Interferenz für die adaptive Ressourcenallokation wird ebenfalls durch Computersimulationen bewertet

Proceedings of the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics 2015

This volume contains the full papers accepted for presentation at the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics 2015 held in the Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, on June 29 - July 2, 2015. The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics is an international meeting held once every two years in a European country. Continuing the very successful series of past conferences that have been organized in Lisbon (2003), Madrid (2005), Milan (2007), Warsaw (2009), Brussels (2011) and Zagreb (2013); this edition will once again serve as a meeting point for the international researchers, scientists and experts from academia, research laboratories and industry working in the area of multibody dynamics. Applications are related to many fields of contemporary engineering, such as vehicle and railway systems, aeronautical and space vehicles, robotic manipulators, mechatronic and autonomous systems, smart structures, biomechanical systems and nanotechnologies. The topics of the conference include, but are not restricted to: ● Formulations and Numerical Methods ● Efficient Methods and Real-Time Applications ● Flexible Multibody Dynamics ● Contact Dynamics and Constraints ● Multiphysics and Coupled Problems ● Control and Optimization ● Software Development and Computer Technology ● Aerospace and Maritime Applications ● Biomechanics ● Railroad Vehicle Dynamics ● Road Vehicle Dynamics ● Robotics ● Benchmark ProblemsPostprint (published version
