portable white space device(WSD) obeying the Korean regulations of TV white space(TVWS) can cause harmful interference to a digital TV receiver residing at the same pixel around the edge of the digital TV service coverage for the case with a changed propagation environment. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method to allocate the resource of a hybrid WSD based on TVWS geo-location DB with spectrum sensing. Using the received power of digital TV signal through the spectrum sensing, a hybrid WSD can calculate the maximum permitted EIRP based on location probability. Based on the accurate allocation method proposed in this paper, it is possible to satisfy the Korean TVWS regulations and to eliminate the harmful interference to TV receivers nearby the hybrid WSD.

We propose a spectrally efficient relaying scheme with multiple antennas for cellular networks which consist of base station (BS), relay station (RSs), and mobile stations (MSs). In general, a BS has more antennas than an RS or an MS. By using multiple antennas, a BS can support another MS with the same frequency resource, where an RS transmits data to a specific MS. In this case, the MS receiving data form an RS also receives the interference form the BS because the BS also uses the same frequency resource at the same time. In this paper, we propose ing and pre-whitening techniques as a pre-coding scheme at the BS for reducing the interference at the MS receiving data from the RS.

Cognitive radio(CR) technique which utilizes empty frequency bands allocated to private business but not being used temporally has been researched. According to the standard, CR users detect the primary user using the same channel, CR users should move to the another channel to guarantee the primary user's decodability. Thus, CR systems cannot use the same channel and support the CR user's QoS(Quality of Service) during the channel moving time. In this paper, we propose a radio resource sharing method that CR basestation controls the transmission power with the primary user's SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) to increase the spectral efficiency of area and to minimize the outage of CR users. In addition, computer simulation demonstrates show that the proposed method improved spectral efficiency of area and decreased outage probability of CR users.

Volunteer computing is a new computing paradigm that performs operations on idle resources of many nodes. The operation method of the client application for the execution of the volunteer computing is determined by the setting information of the user. Ideal operation requires optimized settings for system features and operating methods of other applications. In this paper, we analyze the usage ratio of CPU and GPU periodically, and develop a manager that dynamically applies optimized options. Through our proposed mechanism, the performance of the task computing is higher than that of the existing Volunteer Computing, and the performance interference is minimized. It is expected that volunteers will be able to provide higher computing resources for Volunteer Computing Project.

This paper presents the efficient measurement method of radio resource by analyzing various medium occupied elements. The medium occupied time consists of 802.11 frames, wireless interference, and protocol waiting time from a wireless node on a current channel. And it is used to performance metric. Existing research is only measured partial occupied elements, and is lack of validation of measurement unit and scalability on various IEEE 802.11 radio. This paper presents the measurement method of classified occupied elements. To achieve this, we modified 802.11n based OpenHAL device driver to collect the register information of wireless chipset, and to analyze receiving frames in an virtual monitor mode. We conclude accurate medium occupied time measurement system from various validation methods.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying macro-small cell networks, as one of the promising technologies in the era of 5G, is able to improve spectral efficiency and increase system capacity. In this paper, we model the cross- and co-tier D2D communications in two-tier macro-small cell networks. To avoid the complicated interference for cross-tier D2D, we propose a mode selection scheme with a dedicated resource sharing strategy. For co-tier D2D, we formulate a joint optimization problem of power control and resource reuse with the aim of maximizing the overall outage capacity. To solve this non-convex optimization problem, we devise a heuristic algorithm to obtain a suboptimal solution and reduce the computational complexity. System-level simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can provide enhanced system performance and guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) of all devices in two-tier macro-small cell networks. In addition, our study reveals the high potential of introducing cross- and co-tier D2D in small cell networks: i) cross-tier D2D obtains better performance at low and medium small cell densities than co-tier D2D, and ii) co-tier D2D achieves a steady performance improvement with the increase of small cell density.

In this paper, we consider a full duplexing (FD) wireless cellular network where a central base station (BS) works in the FD mode while the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) users work in the time division duplexing (TDD) mode. Since this FD system induces the inter-user interference from UL user to DL user, the main challenge for maximizing the system performances is user scheduling that makes a pair of DL user and UL user to use the same radio resource simultaneously. We formulate an optimization problem for user pairing to maximize the cell capacity and propose a suboptimal user scheduling algorithm with low complexity. This scheduling algorithm is designed in a way where the DL user with a better signal quality has a higher priority to choose its UL user that causes less interference. Simulation results show that the FD system using the proposed user scheduling algorithm achieves the optimal performance and significantly outperforms the conventional TDD system in terms of the cell capacity.

With innovative advances in wireless communication technology, many researches for extending network lifetime in maximum by using energy harvesting have been actively performed on the area of network resource optimization, QoS-guaranteed transmission, energy-intelligent routing and etc. As known well, it is very hard to guarantee end-to-end network delay due to uncertainty of the amount of harvested energy in multi-hop RF(radio frequency) energy harvesting wireless networks. To minimize end-to-end delay in multi-hop RF energy harvesting networks, this paper proposes an energy efficient routing metric based on interference aware and protocol which takes account of various delays caused by co-channel interference, energy harvesting time and queuing in a relay node. The proposed method maximizes end-to-end throughput by performing avoidance of packet congestion causing load unbalance, reduction of waiting time due to exhaustion of energy and restraint of delay time from co-channel interference. Finally simulation results using ns-3 simulator show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in respect of throughput, end-to-end delay and energy consumption.

Severice allocation to satellite transponders under consideration of interference caused by inter-satellite and intra-satellite systems is one of the most important issue in terms of optimal usage of satellite network resource. In this paper, we present a new and show several simulation results to verify the proposed method. Especially, our concerns are concentrated on the cost (interference) matrix which is believed to be optimal in obtaining the service allocation plan. The method and concepts presented in this paper may be well applicable to making a plan for service assignment of the satellite communication systems.

In this paper, we propose a novel scheduling algorithm for downlink transmission which utilizes scarce wireless resource efficiently in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access/Time Division Duplex system. Scheduling schemes which exploit channel information between a Base Station and terminals have been proposed recently for improved performance. Time series analysis is used to estimate the channel state of mobile terminals. The predicted information is then used for prioritized scheduling of downlink transmissions for improved throughput, delay and jitter performance. Through simulation, we show that the total throughput and mean delay of the proposed scheduling algorithm are improved compared with those of the Proportional Fairness and Maximum Carrier to Interference Ratio schemes.
