Non-regular network performance comparison between HSDPA and LTE
2010
In this paper we study and benchmark the performance of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) Downlink with constant bit rate type traffic. In addition a non-regular simulation scenario is considered using realistic propagation data and base station positions related to Tokyo city downtown area. HSDPA was introduced in 3GPP Release 5 and in further releases the technology has been improved with e.g. receive and transmit diversity technologies and support for higher order modulation schemes. LTE was introduced in 3GPP Release 8 with completely new physical layer and improved Radio Resource Management (RRM) funct…
MP2P Network in Collecting Data from Sensor Networks
2006
Wireless sensor networks provide numerous applications today. At the same time modern wireless short-range communication technologies combined with mobile users create environments for mobile peerto- peer networks. This paper discusses a concept of an application in which an MP2P network is used for collecting sensor network data. This model requires certain places with a high mobile user density in order to function. Simulation results indicate that the model can be used in environments where these requirements are met.
Analysis of RRM limitations and restricted transmission periods for VoIP over HSDPA
2009
This paper studies how the performance of Voice over IP (VoIP) over High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HS-DPA) networks is affected if transmission to a User Equipment (UE) is stopped for specific amount of time during handover procedure. This paper also addresses the situation when it might be necessary to limit the number of UEs in a cell. The study showed that parameter settings for Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms can have an effect to the VoIP capacity: If handover lasts long enough for VoIP packets to be lost, or severe congestion occurs in a cell, VoIP capacity may be degraded.
Analysis of VoIP over HSDPA Performance with Discontinuous Reception Cycles
2009
The aim of this paper is to evaluate how Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles and related timers take effect to Voice over IP (VoIP) performance when High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks are in question. DRX cycles limit the scheduling freedom of users and increase battery saving opportunities in the User Equipment (UE) by allowing it to turn its receiver circuitry off for some periods of time. Prior work has concentrated mainly on optimizing the usage of radio resources when small bit rate delay critical services, like VoIP, are considered. However, the battery life of small handheld devices might become a limiting factor in providing satisfactory user experience. Thus, this …
Energy efficient and distributed resource allocation for wireless powered OFDMA multi-cell networks
2017
In this paper, we investigate the energy efficient resource allocation problem for the wireless powered OFDMA multi-cell networks. In the considered system, the users who have data to transmit in the uplink can only be empowered by the wireless power obtained from multiple base stations (BSs) with a large scale of multiple antennas in the downlink. A time division protocol is considered to divide the time of wireless power transfer (WPT) in the downlink and wireless information transfer (WIT) in the uplink into separate time slot. With the objective to improve the energy efficiency (EE) of the system, we propose the antenna selection, time allocation, subcarrier and power allocation schemes…
Significance of channel failures on network performance in CRNs with reserved spectrum
2016
It is well understood that in wireless networks, channel failures, which are typically caused by equipment or power failures as well as intrinsic features in radio transmissions, such as fading and shadowing, can easily result in network performance degradation. Therefore, fast recovery from channel failures is an important measure that should be incorporated with those networks. Consequently, in a cognitive radio network (CRN), channel failures can cause significant performance degradation in both primary and secondary networks. Instead, retainability, i.e., the capability of providing continuous connection for users must be guaranteed even if a significant network element is disrupted. In…
5G V2V Communication With Antenna Selection Based on Context Awareness: Signaling and Performance Study
2022
Enhanced vehicle-to-everything (eV2X) communication is one of the key challenges to be addressed by the fifth generation (5G) of cellular mobile communications. In particular, eV2X includes some 5G vehicular applications targeting fully autonomous driving which require ultra-high reliability. Although vehicular communications are by default assumed between single antennas located on the roof of the transmitter and receiver vehicles, prior art has shown that there are other antenna positions more suitable for V2X communication, depending on the specific communication context. Antenna selection can be used in this case to select one specific antenna or a subset of them better suited for a cer…
Analysis of MAC-level throughput in LTE systems with link rate adaptation and HARQ protocols
2015
LTE is rapidly gaining momentum for building future 4G cellular systems, and real operational networks are under deployment worldwide. To achieve high throughput performance, in addition to an advanced physical layer design LTE exploits a combination of sophisticated mechanisms at the radio resource management layer. Clearly, this makes difficult to develop analytical tools to accurately assess and optimise the user perceived throughput under realistic channel assumptions. Thus, most existing studies focus only on link-layer throughput or consider individual mechanisms in isolation. The main contribution of this paper is a unified modelling framework of the MAC-level downlink throughput of …
Energy Efficient Optimization for Wireless Virtualized Small Cell Networks With Large-Scale Multiple Antenna
2017
Wireless network virtualization is envisioned as a promising framework to provide efficient and customized services for next-generation wireless networks. In wireless virtualized networks (WVNs), limited radio resources are shared among different services providers for providing services to different users with heterogeneous demands. In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based WVN, where one small cell base station equipped with a large number of antennas serves the users with different service requirements. In particular, with the objective to obtain the energy efficiency in the uplink, a joint power, subcarrier, and antenn…
