By the newly emerging Network access technology, we face the new heterogeneous network environment. The required level of service quality and diversity are now multiplied by the increment of wireless service subscribers. Focusing on the co-existence of multiple access network technology and the complex service needs of users, the wireless service operators should present the stable service quality for every user. The service operators should build the new operation framework which combines the pre-established networks and newly adopted ones. Our problem is finding the optimal heterogeneous network operation framework. We suggest a market-based marginal cost function for evaluating the relative value of resource of each network and develop the whole new heterogeneous network operation framework.

An efficient stochastic channel selection algorithm for cognitive radio networks is proposed and analyzed in this paper. With the new algorithm utilizing quality of channels, the stationary level of the channels in idle state and history performance, we can find the best channel for secondary users to transmit data. Moreover, this method not only restricts channel switching of secondary users but also adapts to random resource environment of cognitive radio network. The advantages of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated clearly through computer simulation.

In case of wireless sensor networks being applied to a target environment having continuous data transfer, high-speed data transmission and processing is necessary to meet increased bandwidth needs. This paper proposes a novel multipath routing algorithm to increase the bandwidth of continuous data stream for the wireless sensor network using dual channel routers. We evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm in the wireless sensor network using the dual channel touter based on ZigBee protocol. According to the experimental evaluation, the proposed algorithm showed outstanding performance enhancement with the bandwidth of 150kbps, which is about twice of existing single channel router.

This paper presents spectrum utilization strategies in cognitive radio (CR) networks powered by multi-antenna based wireless energy transfer. Secondary access point (AP) with multiple antennas should transfer the energy to the secondary sensor nodes with energy beamforming and simultaneously induces no interference to PUs. In addition, sensor nodes can transmit information to the secondary AP using the harvested energy, only when the spectrum is not utilized by PUs. We analyze the achievable rate of the CR sensor networks and propose an interference nulling energy beamforming method to maximize the achievable rate. Finally, we also propose a frame scheduling algorithm in which the durations of wireless energy transfer/information transfer frames (phases) are optimized.

In this paper, we propose an effective energy management algorithm for wireless networks. The proposed algorithm sets the multiple routing paths and transmits routing packets based on the cooperative game model. This approach can enhance the network performance under different and diversified network situations. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm generally exhibits superior performance compared with the other existing scheme under light to heavy traffic loads.

Relay-assisted multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technique has become a promising candidate for next generation broadband wireless communications for high speed access. In this paper, we propose channel selective relay-based MIMO transmission system. The performance of relay-based system can be improved by using the subcarriers selectively based on the channel condition between relay and mobile station. Simulation results show that the proposed relay-based system considerably outperforms the conventional relay-based system.

The multicarrier direct sequence code-division (MC-DS/CDMA) is a well-known multiple access and data transmission scheme that is applicable for various mobile and wireless communications. Particularly for modern, smart vehicles equipped with multiple sensors, MC-DS/CDMA is one of the possible means for giving the sensors to get connected one another for sending and receiving messages and control information. For intra-vehicalur communicaiton and networking applications, we have proposed a novel MC-DS/CDMA multiple access and data transmission scheme incorporating a new idea of inserting sub-symbol based cyclic prefixes for compromising inter-symbol interference. In the performance investigation of our MC-DS/CDMA, we have looked into system performances related to bandwidth utiltzation, coding gain, and multiple number of sensors. Since the channel delay is comparatively shorter inside of vehicle than any other general mobile channels, the proposed scheme can be a successful candidate for networking wireless sensors simultaneously operting in an intelligent vehicle.

We consider the use of cooperative diversity in a multiuser wireless data network. This paper provides an analysis of the interaction between cooperative diversity and multiuser diversity on downlink channels. By using approximation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distribution of each cooperative diversity link by Gamma distribution, an analytic expression is derived for the average throughput of a single-cell wireless system with multiple cooperative diversity links combined with a fair-access scheduler. The proposed analytic approach is verified through comparisons with simulated results and shows that cooperative diversity makes the detrimental impacts on multiuser diversity.

In this paper, we propose a novel code sharing method for downlink transmission of mobile satellite communication systems using a multibeam geosynchronous-orbit satellite. In the proposed system, spreading codes are shared among downlink beams in order to increase the system capacity. We also propose efficient radio resource and transmit power allocation schemes for the proposed system. Simplified analysis and simulation results on the system capacity show the capacity improvement by the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the capacity of the proposed system is more than 2 times as large as that of a conventional multibeam satellite system. In the frequency-selective fading channel, the capacity improvement increases as the interference between orthogonal spreading codes decrease.
