Optimal channel switching for average capacity maximization
Optimal channel switching is proposed for average capacity maximization in the presence of average and peak power constraints. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived in order to determine when the proposed optimal channel switching approach can or cannot outperform the optimal single channel approach, which performs no channel switching. Also, it is stated that the optimal channel switching solution can be realized by channel switching between at most two different channels. In addition, a low-complexity optimization problem is derived in order to obtain the optimal channel switching solution. Numerical examples are provided to exemplify the derived theoretical results. © 2014 IEEE
Vehicle Communication using Secrecy Capacity
We address secure vehicle communication using secrecy capacity. In
particular, we research the relationship between secrecy capacity and various
types of parameters that determine secrecy capacity in the vehicular wireless
network. For example, we examine the relationship between vehicle speed and
secrecy capacity, the relationship between the response time and secrecy
capacity of an autonomous vehicle, and the relationship between transmission
power and secrecy capacity. In particular, the autonomous vehicle has set the
system modeling on the assumption that the speed of the vehicle is related to
the safety distance. We propose new vehicle communication to maintain a certain
level of secrecy capacity according to various parameters. As a result, we can
expect safer communication security of autonomous vehicles in 5G
communications.Comment: 17 Pages, 12 Figure
Stability Analysis of Frame Slotted Aloha Protocol
Frame Slotted Aloha (FSA) protocol has been widely applied in Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) systems as the de facto standard in tag identification.
However, very limited work has been done on the stability of FSA despite its
fundamental importance both on the theoretical characterisation of FSA
performance and its effective operation in practical systems. In order to
bridge this gap, we devote this paper to investigating the stability properties
of FSA by focusing on two physical layer models of practical importance, the
models with single packet reception and multipacket reception capabilities.
Technically, we model the FSA system backlog as a Markov chain with its states
being backlog size at the beginning of each frame. The objective is to analyze
the ergodicity of the Markov chain and demonstrate its properties in different
regions, particularly the instability region. By employing drift analysis, we
obtain the closed-form conditions for the stability of FSA and show that the
stability region is maximised when the frame length equals the backlog size in
the single packet reception model and when the ratio of the backlog size to
frame length equals in order of magnitude the maximum multipacket reception
capacity in the multipacket reception model. Furthermore, to characterise
system behavior in the instability region, we mathematically demonstrate the
existence of transience of the backlog Markov chain.Comment: 14 pages, submitted to IEEE Transaction on Information Theor

A Tractable Framework for the Analysis of Dense Heterogeneous Cellular Networks
This paper investigates the downlink performance of dense K-tier heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) under general settings. First, Gaussian approximation bounds for the standardized aggregate wireless interference (AWI) in dense K-tier HCNs are obtained for when base stations (BSs) in each tier are distributed over the plane according to a spatial and general Poisson point process. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) distance is used to measure deviations of the distribution of the standardized AWI from the standard normal distribution. An explicit and analytical expression bounding the KS distance between these two distributions is obtained as a function of a broad range of network parameters, such as per-tier transmission power levels, per-tier BS intensity, BS locations, general fading statistics, and general bounded path-loss models. Bounds achieve a good statistical match between the standardized AWI distribution and its normal approximation even for moderately dense HCNs. Second, various spatial performance metrics of interest, such as outage capacity, ergodic capacity, and area spectral efficiency in the downlink of K-tier HCNs for general signal propagation models are investigated by making use of the derived distribution approximation results. Considering two specific BS association policies, it is shown that the derived performance bounds track the actual performance metrics reasonably well for a wide range of BS intensities, with the gap among them becoming negligibly small for denser HCN deployments. Finally, both analytical and numerical results on the area spectral efficiency reveal a non-linear growth trend with diminishing returns of HCN performance. Hence, the SIR invariance property does not hold under bounded path-loss models, which is a critical finding from the HCN design perspective. In particular, it points out a critical BS density beyond which the HCN performance starts to decline due to excessive wireless interference
Optimal Channel Switching Strategy for Average Capacity Maximization
In this study, an optimal channel switching strategy is proposed for average capacity maximization in the presence of average and peak power constraints. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to determine when the proposed optimal channel switching strategy can or cannot outperform the optimal single channel strategy, which performs no channel switching. Also, it is obtained that the optimal channel switching strategy can be realized by channel switching between, at most, two different channels. In addition, a low-complexity optimization problem is derived to obtain the optimal channel switching strategy. Furthermore, based on some necessary conditions that need to be satisfied by the optimal channel switching solution, an alternative approach is proposed for calculating the optimal channel switching strategy. Numerical examples are provided to exemplify the derived theoretical results and to provide intuitive explanations. © 2015 IEEE
Limited-feedback distributed relay selection for random spatial wireless networks
This paper considers a location-based optimal relay selection scheme for a relay-assisted wireless network where available decode-and- forward relays are distributed as a homogeneous Poisson point process. To solve an optimum relay selection problem, a central entity or the source requires information pertaining to all relay locations. Since the task of feeding this information back is impractical, we investigate a threshold-based limited feedback distributed relay selection policy. We show that the total number of relays feeding back is a Poisson distributed random variable. For a given threshold-based limited feedback distributed relay selection policy, we obtain analytical expressions for the average rate and the outage probability over the fading and no-fading communication scenarios. The derived analytical expressions are verified and the performance achieved by the proposed relay selection policy is illustrated through extensive simulations. It is observed that the limited feedback distributed relay selection policy can achieve almost the same performance with the optimum relay selection policy by only utilizing location information from a few number of relays
