Application and performance of full-duplex cooperative multicast in NOMA system by Qiao WANG, Yanguo ZHOU, Xinjie YANG, Youming LI, Wei SHI, Bo CHEN

“…The application of cooperative multicast in a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system and its performances was studied where a mixed service scenario consisting of a number of the multicast users and one unicast user was employed.In such a system,a cooperative relay path selection strategy was used and a best channel conditioned multicast user was selected as relay user to relay the unicast user’s signal.The unicast user outage probability and the relay user’s capacity in closed-form were then derived.Mont Carlo simulation results validate the analysis and show that the proposed scheme significantly enhances outage probability for unicast user while maintaining the same ergodic capacity for the relay user.…”

Analysis of energy consumption of two kinds of edge caching strategies in heterogeneous networks by Yi SUN, Hong WANG, Rongfang SONG

“…The energy consumption of a two-tier heterogeneous network under two different caching strategies was analyzed.Firstly,the energy consumption of each network components was modelled,and the relationship between the energy consumption of heterogeneous networks and the distribution density of small cell,user load per cell and caching capacity was investigated.The simulation results show that edge caching can effectively reduce the energy consumption of heterogeneous networks and the performance of the two caching strategies are different under different density of small base station and user load.Specifically,the energy consumption of both the network and per user under the two caching strategies are reduced with the increase of the density of small base station and the user load per cell,respectively.Furthermore,the influence of small base station’s caching capacity can not be neglected in total energy consumption.…”

Space-time coding scheme for the paired weak user in MIMO-NOMA systems by Mingyan GONG, Zhen YANG

“…In view of the paired weak user’s poor outage performance in multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) systems,Alamouti code was adopted to encode for the weak user in order to improve its outage performance by means of diversity,and the closed-form expression of the strong user’s ergodic capacity as well as the boundary-form expressions of the weak user’s ergodic capacity and outage probability was derived in the proposed model.Moreover,a power allocation algorithm for optimizing the system’s throughput was proposed.Finally,the numerical results show the accuracy of the derived expressions,the efficacy of the proposed algorithm,and that the weak user’s outage performance in the proposed coding scheme is far superior to that in the current coding scheme only adopting vertical Bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) code.…”

Performance Analysis of Dijkstra-Based Weighted Sum Minimization Routing Algorithm for Wireless Mesh Networks by Nuha A. S. Alwan

“…To optimize the performance for a given end-to-end route in a static network, the most common metrics that need to be optimized or bounded are the path capacity and the end-to-end delay. In this work, we focus on combining desirable properties of these two metrics by minimizing a weighted metrics sum via a Dijkstra-based algorithm. …”

Robust time resource allocation and multi-user selection algorithm for data and energy integrated communication network by Jiayu YANG, Jie HU, Supeng LENG, Kun YANG

“…In the existing research on resource allocation in wireless energy and data transmission,the impact of battery capacity on throughput under multi-user scenarios is not considered.A robust resource allocation algorithm was proposed to optimize throughput and solve the problem that a single model could not reasonably allocate resources in real world network scenarios due to large differences in battery capacity.In addition,a connection between multi-user selection and slot allocation was found,and a joint optimization algorithm of multi-user selection and slot allocation under the constraint of power was proposed.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better throughput performance and is more suitable for wireless data and energy transmission network.…”

Adaptive beamforming of massive MIMO based on DoA in high mobility scenarios by Yong LIAO, Yu-feng LI, Xuan-fan SHEN

“…A direction of arrival based (DoA-based) beamforming of massive MIMO was proposed for high-speed railway scenarios.In order to guarantee that the optimal system capacity can be obtained during traveling,an iterative multi-beams scheme was proposed.It aimed to design different beams for different mobile carriage terminals (MCT) respectively.The proposal adaptively selected the number of antennas for each beam,and adaptively designed the number of beams according to system capacity.Moreover,the scheme didn’t need channel state information (CSI) that can reduce system implementation complexity and cost.Numerical results indicate that the proposed scheme is suitable for high-speed scenarios,the system performance can be improved more efficiently compared to conventional methods.…”
