On the Performance of Multiple Antenna Cooperative Spectrum Sharing Protocol under Nakagami-m Fading
In a cooperative spectrum sharing (CSS) protocol, two wireless systems
operate over the same frequency band albeit with different priorities. The
secondary (or cognitive) system which has a lower priority, helps the higher
priority primary system to achieve its target rate by acting as a relay and
allocating a fraction of its power to forward the primary signal. The secondary
system in return is benefited by transmitting its own data on primary system's
spectrum. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of multiple antenna
cooperative spectrum sharing protocol under Nakagami-m Fading. Closed form
expressions for outage probability have been obtained by varying the parameters
m and Omega of the Nakagami-m fading channels. Apart from above, we have shown
the impact of power allocation factor (alpha) and parameter m on the region of
secondary spectrum access, conventionally defined as critical radius for the
secondary system. A comparison between theoretical and simulated results is
also presented to corroborate the theoretical results obtained in this paperComment: Accepted in the proceedings of IEEE PIMRC 2015 Hong Kong, Chin
Optical IRS Aided B5G V2V Solution for Road Safety Applications
In this work, we showcase the potential benefit of employing optical
intelligent reflecting surfaces (O-IRS) for improving safety message
dissemination for vehicular visible light communication (V-VLC) systems
particularly at the road intersections. Buildings, roadside structures,
signboards, and other impediments commonly hinder line-of-sight (LoS)
communication between vehicles at urban crossroads scenarios. We propose using
O-IRS at road intersection to improve the communication link's reliability. We
compare the performance of proposed scheme with baseline scenarios such as
optical relay and non line-of-sight (NLOS) road reflection (NRR) aided
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. From obtained results, it has been
shown that O-IRS offers considerable performance enhancement as compared to the
baseline scenarios. In particular, O-IRS can achieve longer communication range
as compared to the optical relay aided V-VLC systems while ensuring desired
quality-of-service (QoS).Comment: This work has been accepted for presentation at IEEE ANTS 202
Cache Enabled UAV HetNets Access xHaul Coverage Analysis and Optimal Resource Partitioning
We study an urban wireless network in which cache-enabled UAV-Access points
(UAV-APs) and UAV-Base stations (UAV-BSs) are deployed to provide higher
throughput and ad-hoc coverage to users on the ground. The cache-enabled
UAV-APs route the user data to the core network via either terrestrial base
stations (TBSs) or backhaul-enabled UAV-BSs through an xHaul link. First, we
derive the association probabilities in the access and xHaul links.
Interestingly, we show that to maximize the line-of-sight (LoS) unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) association, densifying the UAV deployment may not be beneficial
after a threshold. Then, we obtain the signal to interference noise ratio
(SINR) coverage probability of the typical user in the access link and the
tagged UAV-AP in the xHaul link, respectively. The SINR coverage analysis is
employed to characterize the successful content delivery probability by jointly
considering the probability of successful access and xHaul transmissions and
successful cache-hit probability. We numerically optimize the distribution of
frequency resources between the access and the xHaul links to maximize the
successful content delivery to the users. For a given storage capacity at the
UAVs, our study prescribes the network operator optimal bandwidth partitioning
factors and dimensioning rules concerning the deployment of the UAV-APs
Downlink Performance of Optical Power Domain NOMA for Beyond 5G Enabled V2X Networks
In this work, we explore the potential benefits andpractical challenges associated with implementation of opticalpower domain non-orthogonal multiple access (OPD-NOMA)scheme for visible light communications (VLC) based vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks with a major aim of providingvehicles with reliable, ubiquitous, and massive connectivity. Inthe proposed framework, an installed light source (e.g., trafficlamp post or street light lamp post) broadcasts a safety relatedmessage to desired nodes through visible light. However, suchVLC transmission is subject to interference originating fromthe vehicles in the adjacent lane. Using the stochastic geometryapproach, we model the locations of vehicles on the road via Pois-son point process. We investigate the applicability of downlinkOPD NOMA enabled V2X network for typical infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communication in presence of interference causedfrom concurrent vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmissions with anaid of stochastic geometry. Through the obtained results, it hasbeen shown that the downlink OPD NOMA based V2X networkoffers improved performance in terms of outage performanceand average achievable rate as compared to the conventional RFbased V2X communication
Sum-Rate Maximization of IRS-Aided SCMA System
We study an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided downlink sparse code multiple access (SCMA) system for massive connectivity in future machine -type communication networks. Our objective is to maximize the system sum-rate subject to the constraint of minimum user data rate, the total power of base station, SCMA codebook structure, and IRS channel coefficients. To this end, a joint optimization problem involving IRS phase vector, factor graph matrix assignment, and power allocation problem is formulated, which is non-convex in nature. This problem is solved by developing an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm. A key idea is to first divide the formulated non-convex problem into three subproblems (i.e., factor graph matrix assignment, power allocation, and phase vector of IRS) and then tackle them iteratively. The validity of the proposed schemes is shown using the simulation results. Moreover, compared to the SCMA system without IRS, a significant performance improvement in the IRS-aided SCMA system is shown in terms of achievable sum-rate
