Outage Analysis of Full-Duplex Architectures in Cellular Networks
The implementation of full-duplex (FD) radio in wireless communications is a
potential approach for achieving higher spectral efficiency. A possible
application is its employment in the next generation of cellular networks.
However, the performance of large-scale FD multiuser networks is an area mostly
unexplored. Most of the related work focuses on the performance analysis of
small-scale networks or on loop interference cancellation schemes. In this
paper, we derive the outage probability performance of large-scale FD cellular
networks in the context of two architectures: two-node and three-node. We show
how the performance is affected with respect to the model's parameters and
provide a comparison between the two architectures.Comment: to appear in Proc. IEEE VTC 2015 Spring, Glasgo
Passive Loop Interference Suppression in Large-Scale Full-Duplex Cellular Networks
Loop interference (LI) in wireless communications, is a notion resulting from
the full-duplex (FD) operation. In a large-scale network, FD also increases the
multiuser interference due to the large number of active wireless links that
exist. Hence, in order to realize the FD potentials, this interference needs to
be restricted. This paper presents a stochastic geometry model of FD cellular
networks where the users and base stations employ directional antennas. Based
on previous experimental results, we model the passive suppression of the LI at
each FD terminal as a function of the angle between the two antennas and show
the significant gains that can be achieved by this method. Together with the
reduction of multiuser interference resulting from antenna directionality, our
model demonstrates that FD can potentially be implemented in large-scale
directional networks.Comment: to appear in Proc. IEEE SPAWC 201
A Survey of Physical Layer Security Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Challenges Ahead
Physical layer security which safeguards data confidentiality based on the
information-theoretic approaches has received significant research interest
recently. The key idea behind physical layer security is to utilize the
intrinsic randomness of the transmission channel to guarantee the security in
physical layer. The evolution towards 5G wireless communications poses new
challenges for physical layer security research. This paper provides a latest
survey of the physical layer security research on various promising 5G
technologies, including physical layer security coding, massive multiple-input
multiple-output, millimeter wave communications, heterogeneous networks,
non-orthogonal multiple access, full duplex technology, etc. Technical
challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are summarized and
the future trends of physical layer security in 5G and beyond are discussed.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication
