Spectral clustering-based energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm in heterogeneous cellular ultra-dense network by Xue WANG, Jing LIU, Jiani SUN, Jizhen ZHANG, Zhihong QIAN

“…In order to solve problems of high power consumption, spectrum shortage and low energy efficiency in the ultra-intensive 5G mobile communication scenario, a resource allocation algorithm based on the maximum energy efficiency for the two-layer heterogeneous cellular non-orthogonal multiple access network was proposed.The original NP-hard optimization problem on the downlink communication link of ultra-dense scene was divided into two subproblem, such as frequency resource allocation and power allocation, which became a deterministic constraint optimization problem.The frequency resource allocation scheme of different user groups was obtained by using base station clustering based on the improved k-means algorithm and users grouping based on spectral clustering algorithm.The fraction of energy efficiency optimization was transformed into a solvable continuous convex optimization problem and power distribution was realized by Dinkelbach method, and the Lagrange multiplier iterative algorithm, respectively.Jointly optimize system energy efficiency in terms of base station clustering, user grouping, resource block allocation and power allocation, which minimized the inter-cluster interference and intra-cluster interference of the base station efficiently.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better on energy efficiency and computational efficiency compared with existing algorithms.…”

Advanced optical receiver architectures for ultra-high capacity but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects by Honglin JI, Xueyang LI, Zhixue HE, Weisheng HU, Shieh William

“…The deployment of emerging network infrastructure such as hyper-scale datacenters urgently requires ultra-high capacity but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects.Conventional intensity modulation and direct detection possesses a simple receiver structure but can only recover the intensity information, which restrains the capability of further scaling up the system capacity.Standard coherent detection can deliver high-order modulation formats and achieve high-capacity transmission.Nevertheless, the coherent transceiver requiring expensive narrow-linewidth laser sources and computation-intensive digital signal processing precludes its wide applications in short-reach systems.The advanced direct-detection optical receivers aim to combine the advantages of both direct detection and coherent detection and bridge the gap between them.Therefore, the advanced optical receivers are mainly based on self-coherent detection.Advanced single-polarization, dual-polarization, and few-mode optical receiver architectures wereintroduced.The proposed advanced optical receivers can retrieve the optical field via direct detection without using the narrow-linewidth lasers, which enables the realization of ultra-high capability but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects.…”
