In this paper, we mathematically investigate a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system for short-packet communications (SPC) in which the near users are used as full-duplex (FD) relays to forward intended signals from the source to a far user. In addition, partial relay selection is employed to enhance the performance of the FD relays under the impact of imperfect interference cancellation. At the far user, selection combining (SC) or maximal ratio combining (MRC) is employed to combine the signals received from the source and the selected FD relay. The analytical expressions for the average block error rate (BLER) of two users over flat Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Furthermore, closed-form asymptotic expressions of the average BLERs at the near and far users in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes are obtained. The numerical results show that the analytical BLERs of the near user and far user closely match the simulation results.

Together with the GPS-based approach, geolocation through mobile communication networks is a key technology for location-based service. Since the Mobile WiMAX system is considered as a candidate for fourth-generation mobile systems, it is important to investigate its location capability. The geolocation of Mobile WiMAX can be realized when the preamble symbols in the down-link channel are appropriately used for a TDOA (Time-Difference-of-Arrival) approach. However, the cellular structure of Mobile WiMAX inevitably generates co-channel interference, and it is difficult for the mobile terminal to acquire distance measurements from multiple base stations. Therefore, for geolocation via multilateration using the Mobile WiMAX network, it is very important to increase hearability. This paper proposes a geolocation method for Mobile WiMAX which employs interference cancellation and preamble signal overlapping for the enhancement of hearability. A novel interference cancellation strategy for complex-valued Mobile WiMAX signals is presented which has an iterative structure. Simulation results show that the proposed geolocation method provides the user's position with an accuracy of less than 20 m through the Mobile WiMAX cellular network if there is no multi-path or NLOS (None-Line-of-Sight).

Together with the GPS-based approach, geo-location through mobile communication networks is a key technology for location-based service. To save the cost, most geo-location system is implemented on the existed network service, which has a cellular structure. Still, multilateration is limited in cellular structure because it is difficult for the mobile terminal to acquire distance measurements from multiple base stations. This low hearability in the receiver is caused by co-channel interference and multipath environment. Therefore, hearability enhancement is necessary for multilateration under multipath and interference environment. Former time domain based hearability methods were designed for real signals. However, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, which its usage has been increased in digital wireless communication, is a complex signal. Thus, different hearability enhancement method is needed for OFDM signals. This paper proposes a hearability enhancement method for forward-link multilateration using OFDM signals, which employ interference cancellation and multipath mitigation. A novel interference cancellation and multipath mitigation strategy for complex-valued OFDM signals is presented that has an iterative structure. Simulation results show that the proposed multilateration method provides the user's position with an accuracy of less than 80m through the mobile WiMAX cellular network in multipath environment.

It is widely believed that cognitive radio (CR) networks have an opportunistic nature and therefore can only support best-effort traffics without quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In this paper, we propose a centralized CR network that adopts interference averaging techniques to support QoS guaranteed traffics under interference outage constraints. In such a CR network, a CR user adaptively adjusts its transmit power to compensate for the channel loss, thereby keeping the receive signal power at the CR base station (BS) at a constant level. The closed-form system capacity of such a CR network is analyzed and derived for a single cell with one CR BS and multiple CR users, taking into account various key factors such as interference outage constraints, channel fading, cell radius, and locations of primary users. The accuracy of the theoretical results is validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Numerical and simulation results show promising capacity potential for deploying QoS-guaranteed CR networks in frequency bands with fixed primary receivers. Our work can provide theoretical guidelines for the strategic planning of centralized CR networks.

Cognitive radio (CR) is a feasible intelligent technology and can be used as an effective solution to spectrum scarcity and underutilization. As the key function of CR, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to effectively prevent the harmful interference with primary users (PUs) and identify the available spectrum resources by exploiting the spatial diversity of multiple secondary users (SUs). However, the open nature of the cognitive radio networks (CRNs) framework makes CSS face many security threats, such as, the malicious user (MU) launches Byzantine attack to undermine CRNs. For this aim, we make an in-depth analysis of the motive and purpose from the MU's perspective in the interweave CR system, aiming to provide the future guideline for defense strategies. First, we formulate a dynamic Byzantine attack model by analyzing Byzantine behaviors in the process of CSS. On the basis of this, we further make an investigation on the condition of making the fusion center (FC) blind when the fusion rule is unknown for the MU. Moreover, the throughput and interference to the primary network are taken into consideration to evaluate the impact of Byzantine attack on the interweave CR system, and then analyze the optimal strategy of Byzantine attack when the fusion rule is known. Finally, theoretical proofs and simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of analyses about the impact of Byzantine attack strategy on the throughput and interference.

We consider a power controlled code division multiple access (CDMA) system with multiple flow types. At each of the N nodes, there are F flow types with different signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) requirements. To keep the complexity of the transmitter low, we assume that each node uses the same power level for all its flows. The single flow case has been fully solved and is well-understood. We concentrate on the multiple flow case, and use a novel and different approach. For the uplink problem with N = 2 and F arbitrary, the necessary and sufficient conditions to have a solution are found and proved. For the general N > 1 uplink problem, we provide a necessary condition for the problem to have a solution and an iterative algorithm to find the optimum solution. For the downlink case with F > 1 some properties of the optimal sequences are obtained.

We consider cooperative opportunistic beamforming that can mitigate the other cell interference (OCI) in correlated multi-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) cellular environments. By only exploiting the spatial channel information of adjacent cells, the proposed scheme generates the cooperative random beam that statistically avoids the OCI from adjacent cells. Each cell selects a user in an opportunistic manner. Thus, the proposed scheme can simultaneously achieve the multi-user diversity (MUD) gain and the OCI avoidance gain.

블라인드 간섭 정렬 (Blind Interference Alignment: BIA) 기법은 기지국과 사용자 간의 채널 상태 정보(Channel State Information: CSI)가 부재한 상황에서도 최대의 다중화 (Degrees of Freedom: DoF) 이득을 얻을 수 있는 전송 방식이다. 하지만 BIA 기법은 다중화 이득의 극대화를 통해 높은 신호 대 잡음비 영역에서는 좋은 합 전송률 성능을 나타내는 반면, 신호 대 잡음비가 낮은 영역에서는 성능이 크게 열화되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 BIA 기법이 갖는 단점을 극복하기 위하여, BIA 기법과 수신 모드 선택 기법 기반의 단일 사용자 SISO 전송 기법을 신호 대 잡음비에 따라 적응적으로 사용하는 이중 전송 기법을 제안한다. 먼저, 각 전송 기법의 평균 합 전송률의 닫힌 형태를 유도하며, 이를 기반으로 신호 대 잡음비에 따라 각 사용자의 전송 기법을 선택하는 저 복잡도 알고리즘을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 셀 간 간섭과 셀 내 사용자 간 간섭이 공존하는 two-cell 다중 안테나 하향링크 간섭 채널에서 송수신기 설계 방법을 제안한다. 우선 셀 간 간섭과 셀 내 사용자 간 간섭을 다차원 subspace에 정렬하는 zero-forcing 간섭 정렬 방법을 일반화한다. 그리고 일반화한 zero-forcing 간섭 정렬 방법에서 구한 송수신기를 "regularizing" 하는 minimum weighted-mean-square-error 기반 regularized ZF-IA 방법을 제안한다. 기존 weighted-sum-rate-maximizing 송수신기 설계 방법에 비해 제안하는 방법은 weight 를 구하는 반복 연산 과정이 필요하지 않다. 그 결과 제안하는 방법은 비록 sum-rate 최대화하도록 설계되진 않았지만, 기존의 weighted-sum-rate maximizing 방법 보다 계산 복잡도 면에서 효율적이고 더 빠른 수렴 속도를 얻을 수 있다. 다양한 분석과 실험을 통해 제안하는 regularized ZF-IA 방법의 우수성을 확인하였다. 구체적으로 반복 연산 수가 작은 경우, 제안하는 regularized ZF-IA 방법의 sum-rate 성능이 기존의 weighted-sum-rate maximizing 방법보다 SNR = 20 [dB] 에서 약 49.8 % 이상 나음을 확인할 수 있다. 더불어 채널 정보에 오차가 있는 경우 상당한 robustness를 제공하는 robust 송수신기 설계 방법도 제시한다.
