Combined fuzzy-based rate management and selective power control for multimedia CDMA cellular systems

[[abstract]]Power control mechanisms are essential for CDMA wireless communication systems to enhance user capacity. In this paper, we propose a novel power control scheme which combines transmission rate management with power adjustments for multimedia CDMA cellular systems. In the proposed scheme, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is first used to dynamically infer a suitable transmission rate for each service. Then a selective power control (SPC) scheme is used to adjust the transmission power for each service in order to maintain an acceptable signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). Numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the original SPC and the Lagrangian relaxation technique and power control (LRPC) methods in outage probability, average transmission rate, probability of unsuccessful transmission, and probability of changes in transmission rates

Multicast broadcast services support in OFDMA-based WiMAX systems [Advances in mobile multimedia]

Multimedia stream service provided by broadband wireless networks has emerged as an important technology and has attracted much attention. An all-IP network architecture with reliable high-throughput air interface makes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA)-based mobile worldwide interoperability for microwave access (mobile WiMAX) a viable technology for wireless multimedia services, such as voice over IP (VoIP), mobile TV, and so on. One of the main features in a WiMAX MAC layer is that it can provide'differentiated services among different traffic categories with individual QoS requirements. In this article, we first give an overview of the key aspects of WiMAX and describe multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) architecture of the 3GPP. Then, we propose a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) architecture for WiMAX that is based on MBMS. Moreover, we enhance the MBS architecture for mobile WiMAX to overcome the shortcoming of limited video broadcast performance over the baseline MBS model. We also give examples to demonstrate that the proposed architecture can support better mobility and offer higher power efficiency

A combined polling and ISMA-DS/CDMA protocol to provide QoS in packet mobile communications systems

This paper presents a new mechanism that combines the flexibility of an access protocol such as ISMA-DS/CDMA with the ability of a polling mechanism to provide a specific bound for the access delay. This protocol is proposed for a packet transmission mobile communication system together with a scheduling algorithm that arranges the different transmissions depending on the quality of service required by the set of considered services.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

A survey of self organisation in future cellular networks

This article surveys the literature over the period of the last decade on the emerging field of self organisation as applied to wireless cellular communication networks. Self organisation has been extensively studied and applied in adhoc networks, wireless sensor networks and autonomic computer networks; however in the context of wireless cellular networks, this is the first attempt to put in perspective the various efforts in form of a tutorial/survey. We provide a comprehensive survey of the existing literature, projects and standards in self organising cellular networks. Additionally, we also aim to present a clear understanding of this active research area, identifying a clear taxonomy and guidelines for design of self organising mechanisms. We compare strength and weakness of existing solutions and highlight the key research areas for further development. This paper serves as a guide and a starting point for anyone willing to delve into research on self organisation in wireless cellular communication networks
