Overhearing Protocol Design Exploiting Intercell Interference in Cooperative Green Networks

Abstract

The conventional two-way relaying (TWR) protocol requires that the transmitter (receiver) in one direction must be the receiver (transmitter) in the other direction, an limitation precluding the application of the TWR for sophisticated realworld wireless networks. In this paper, we study a more general multi-cell system consisting of a downlink (DL) traffic in one cell and an uplink (UL) traffic in an adjacent cell, with a multi-antenna relay located in the cell-edge and shared by both cells. For the coexistence of DL and UL transmissions, we propose to exploit the overheard signals from the adjacent cell (commonly known as the inter-cell interference) to improve the quality of signal reception in both cells. To reduce the power consumption to suit for green networks, we design the optimum relay precoder to minimize the total power at the relay, yet satisfying the rate constraints for both the DL and UL traffics. The original precoder design is a non-convex problem which is difficult to solve. To make the problem tractable, we transform the non-convex problem to an equivalent quadratically constrained quadratic program, which is then solved by the semidefinite relaxation technique. Finally, simulations validate the effectiveness of our proposed protocol together with the optimized relay precoder.Index Terms-Overhearing protocol design, dual-hop channel, multi-cell, minimum mean squared error (MMSE).

ELM-Based Superimposed CSI Feedback for FDD Massive MIMO System

“…Although the occupation of uplink bandwidth was avoided, the recoveries of downlink CSI and UL-US were deteriorated by superposition interference. The interference cancellation has been a research hotspot in the field of wireless communications [25] [26]. To remedy the defect of [23], a DL-based superimposed CSI feedback was proposed in [24], which consistently improved the estimation of downlink CSI with similar or better UL-US detection performance.…”

Multiuser precoding scheme and achievable rate analysis for massive MIMO system

“…To effectively suppress the pilot contamination, a time-shifted scheme was proposed in [20], which aims to resolve the effects of pilot contamination. The work in [21,22] proposed a pilot sequence coordination scheme; the pilot combinations are efficiently eliminated by sharing the different pilot sequence among each cells.…”

“…(22) In order to solve the above equation in terms of random variable K, we observe that the equation is so sophisticated because it involves the logarithmic function. We use the associated analysis tool [39][40][41] and let y = 1 + ρ (N t − K + 1), (22) reduces to…”

A game-theoretic learning approach to QoE-driven resource allocation scheme in 5G-enabled IoT

“…To handle the massive connectivity and satisfy the requirements of ultra-reliable low-latency communications, 5G network supporting IoT communications requires huge spectrum resources or the improvement of spectral efficiency [14]. Moreover, the interference management problem is one of the key challenges in 5G-enabled IoT, since the co-channel model that small cell base stations (SCBSs) overlayed on the covering area of macrocell base station (MBS) share the same frequency band is generally adopted in 5G network [15]. The resource allocation strategies are usually optimized to overcome the interference problem [16].…”
