Stability and instability of a random multiple access model with adaptive energy harvesting
We introduce a model for the classical synchronised multiple access system
with a single transmission channel and a randomised transmission protocol
(ALOHA). We assume in addition that there is an energy harvesting mechanism,
and any message transmission requires a unit of energy. Units of energy arrive
randomly and independently of anything else. We analyse stability and
instability conditions for this model
Spatial random multiple access with multiple departure
We introduce a new model of spatial random multiple access systems with a
non-standard departure policy: all arriving messages are distributed uniformly
on a finite sphere in the space, and when a successful transmission of a single
message occurs, the transmitted message leaves the system together with all its
neighbours within a ball of a given radius centred at the message's location.
We consider three classes of protocols: centralised protocols and decentralised
protocols with either ternary or binary feedback; and analyse their stability.
Further, we discuss some asymptotic properties of stable protocols
Multi-Channel Random Access with Replications
This paper considers a class of multi-channel random access algorithms, where
contending devices may send multiple copies (replicas) of their messages to the
central base station. We first develop a hypothetical algorithm that delivers a
lower estimate for the access delay performance within this class. Further, we
propose a feasible access control algorithm achieving low access delay by
sending multiple message replicas, which approaches the performance of the
hypothetical algorithm. The resulting performance is readily approximated by a
simple lower bound, which is derived for a large number of channels.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, accepted by ISIT 201
Stability of a Random Multiple Access Channel with "Success-Failure" Feedback
We consider a model of a decentralized multiple access system with a
non-standard binary feedback where the empty and collision situations cannot be
distinguished. We show that, like in the case of a ternary feedback, for any
input rate \lambda < 1/e, there exists a "doubly randomized" adaptive
transmission protocol which stabilizes the behavior of the system. We discuss
also a number of related problems and formulate some hypotheses.Comment: 11 pages, ! figur
Analysis of discontinuous reception based energy-saving techniques
Discontinuous reception (DRX) is one of the key energy saving techniques in 3GPP HSPA and LTE communication standards. This paper aims complex mathematical analysis of power consumption and message delay in DRX mode. The analysis is based on the bursty traffic model which could be used for approximation of real traffic
Optimizing NB-IoT Communication Patterns for Permanently Connected mMTC Devices
The new types of industry-driven applications that need to be supported by low-power wide-area networks (LP-WANs), such as remote control or metering of devices within the massive machine-type infrastructures (e.g., Smart Grids), require a permanent connection to the remote server. In addition, there is also a shift in the communication paradigm, as the user equipment (UE) nodes are queried in regular and frequent intervals. Notably, the presence of this type of traffic may drastically deteriorate the performance of LPWAN technologies initially developed to support conventional use-cases characterized by non-synchronized transmissions. Though none of the LPWAN technologies is inherently designed to handle such demanding communication patterns, the narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) still stands for the best candidate as it operates within the license frequency spectrum. To optimize the delay performance of both types of traffic coexisting at the NB-IoT air interface, we propose an approach based on spreading the message transmission time instants of regular and stochastic traffic. We show an optimal value of the spreading interval minimizing the message transmission delay of regular traffic and propose a mathematical model to estimate its value. By parameterizing the model using a detailed measurements campaign of NB-IoT, we show that the optimal value of spreading interval and associated mean message delay is a linear function of the number of UEs. We report these values for a wide range of UEs in the coverage area of the NB-IoT base station and show that conventional stochastic traffic does not influence regular traffic performance.acceptedVersionPeer reviewe
