Spatial spectrum and energy efficiency of random cellular networks
It is a great challenge to evaluate the network performance of cellular
mobile communication systems. In this paper, we propose new spatial spectrum
and energy efficiency models for Poisson-Voronoi tessellation (PVT) random
cellular networks. To evaluate the user access the network, a Markov chain
based wireless channel access model is first proposed for PVT random cellular
networks. On that basis, the outage probability and blocking probability of PVT
random cellular networks are derived, which can be computed numerically.
Furthermore, taking into account the call arrival rate, the path loss exponent
and the base station (BS) density in random cellular networks, spatial spectrum
and energy efficiency models are proposed and analyzed for PVT random cellular
networks. Numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the network spectrum
and energy efficiency in PVT random cellular networks.Comment: appears in IEEE Transactions on Communications, April, 201
IP-Level Satellite Link Emulation with KauNet
Distributed applications and transport protocols communicating over a satellite link may react very strongly to conditions specific to that kind of link. Providing a evaluation framework to allow tests of real implementations of such software in that context is quite a challenging task. In this paper we demonstrate how the use of the general-purpose KauNet IP-level emulator combined with satellite-specific packet loss patterns can help by reproducing losses and delays experienced on a satellite link with a simple Ethernet LAN setup. Such a platform is an essential tool for developers performing continuous testing as they provide new features for e.g. video codecs or transport-level software like DCCP and its congestion control components
