Sample Approximation-Based Deflation Approaches for Chance SINR Constrained Joint Power and Admission Control
Consider the joint power and admission control (JPAC) problem for a
multi-user single-input single-output (SISO) interference channel. Most
existing works on JPAC assume the perfect instantaneous channel state
information (CSI). In this paper, we consider the JPAC problem with the
imperfect CSI, that is, we assume that only the channel distribution
information (CDI) is available. We formulate the JPAC problem into a chance
(probabilistic) constrained program, where each link's SINR outage probability
is enforced to be less than or equal to a specified tolerance. To circumvent
the computational difficulty of the chance SINR constraints, we propose to use
the sample (scenario) approximation scheme to convert them into finitely many
simple linear constraints. Furthermore, we reformulate the sample approximation
of the chance SINR constrained JPAC problem as a composite group sparse
minimization problem and then approximate it by a second-order cone program
(SOCP). The solution of the SOCP approximation can be used to check the
simultaneous supportability of all links in the network and to guide an
iterative link removal procedure (the deflation approach). We exploit the
special structure of the SOCP approximation and custom-design an efficient
algorithm for solving it. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness and
efficiency of the proposed sample approximation-based deflation approaches by
simulations.Comment: The paper has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on

Light Scalar Decay in Diquark Chiral Effective Theory
We calculate the decay rate of light scalar mesons, using a diquark chiral
effective theory, recently proposed to describe exotic hadrons. In the
effective theory the light scalar mesons are postulated to be bound states of
diquark and anti-diquark. We find our results are in good agreement with
experimental data. The axial couplings of diquarks with pions and kaons are
found to be quite small and the perturbation is reliable. It shows that the
diquark picture captures the correct physics of light scalar mesons.Comment: 9pages, 4figures, RevTeX
Demystifying the Scaling Laws of Dense Wireless Networks: No Linear Scaling in Practice
We optimize the hierarchical cooperation protocol of Ozgur, Leveque and Tse,
which is supposed to yield almost linear scaling of the capacity of a dense
wireless network with the number of users . Exploiting recent results on the
optimality of "treating interference as noise" in Gaussian interference
channels, we are able to optimize the achievable average per-link rate and not
just its scaling law. Our optimized hierarchical cooperation protocol
significantly outperforms the originally proposed scheme. On the negative side,
we show that even for very large , the rate scaling is far from linear, and
the optimal number of stages is less than 4, instead of as required for almost linear scaling. Combining our results and the
fact that, beyond a certain user density, the network capacity is fundamentally
limited by Maxwell laws, as shown by Francheschetti, Migliore and Minero, we
argue that there is indeed no intermediate regime of linear scaling for dense
networks in practice.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, ISIT 2014. arXiv admin note: substantial text
