Leptonic CP violation in a two parameter model
We further study the "complementary" Ansatz, Tr=0, for a prediagonal
light Majorana type neutrino mass matrix. Previously, this was studied for the
CP conserving case and the case where the two Majorana type CP violating phases
were present but the Dirac type CP violating phase was neglected. Here we
employ a simple geometric algorithm which enables us to "solve" the Ansatz
including all three CP violating phases. Specifically, given the known neutrino
oscillation data and an assumed two parameter (the third neutrino mass
and the Dirac CP phase ) family of inputs we predict the neutrino
masses and Majorana CP phases. Despite the two parameter ambiguity, interesting
statements emerge.
There is a characteristic pattern of interconnected masses and CP phases. For
large the three neutrinos are approximately degenerate. The only
possibility for a mass hierarchy is to have smaller than the other two. A
hierarchy with largest is not allowed.
Small CP violation is possible only near two special values of . Also,
the neutrinoless double beta decay parameter is approximately bounded as 0.020
eV 0.185 eV. As a byproduct of looking at physical amplitudes we
discuss an alternative parameterization of the lepton mixing matrix which
results in simpler formulas. The physical meaning of this parameterization is
explained.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

Fine structure of beta decay endpoint spectrum
We note that the fine structure at the endpoint region of the beta decay
spectrum is now essentially known using neutrino oscillation data, if the mass
of one neutrino is specified. This may help to identify the effects of nonzero
neutrino masses in future experiments. An exact treatment of phase space
kinematics is used. This work is independent of theoretical models. Additional
restrictions due to the assumption of a so-called "complementary ansatz" for
the neutrino mass matrix are also discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure
Impact of Mobility on MIMO Green Wireless Systems
This paper studies the impact of mobility on the power consumption of
wireless networks. With increasing mobility, we show that the network should
dedicate a non negligible fraction of the useful rate to estimate the different
degrees of freedom. In order to keep the rate constant, we quantify the
increase of power required for several cases of interest. In the case of a
point to point MIMO link, we calculate the minimum transmit power required for
a target rate and outage probability as a function of the coherence time and
the number of antennas. Interestingly, the results show that there is an
optimal number of antennas to be used for a given coherence time and power
consumption. This provides a lower bound limit on the minimum power required
for maintaining a green network.Comment: Accepted for EUSIPCO conference. 5 page
Cross-Layer Design for Green Power Control
In this work, we propose a new energy efficiency metric which allows one to
optimize the performance of a wireless system through a novel power control
mechanism. The proposed metric possesses two important features. First, it
considers the whole power of the terminal and not just the radiated power.
Second, it can account for the limited buffer memory of transmitters which
store arriving packets as a queue and transmit them with a success rate that is
determined by the transmit power and channel conditions. Remarkably, this
metric is shown to have attractive properties such as quasi-concavity with
respect to the transmit power and a unique maximum, allowing to derive an
optimal power control scheme. Based on analytical and numerical results, the
influence of the packet arrival rate, the size of the queue, and the
constraints in terms of quality of service are studied. Simulations show that
the proposed cross-layer approach of power control may lead to significant
gains in terms of transmit power compared to a physical layer approach of green
communications.Comment: Presented in ICC 201
