In a device-to-device (D2D) underlaid cellular network, there exist two types of co-channel interference. One type is inter-layer interference caused by spectrum reuse between D2D transmitters and cellular users (CUEs). Another type is intra-layer interference caused by spectrum sharing among D2D pairs. To mitigate the inter-layer interference, we first derive the interference limited area (ILA) to protect the coverage probability of cellular users by modeling D2D users' location as a Poisson point process, where a D2D transmitter is allowed to reuse the spectrum of the CUE only if the D2D transmitter is outside the ILA of the CUE. To coordinate the intra-layer interference, the spectrum sharing criterion of D2D pairs is derived based on the (signal-to-interference ratio) SIR requirement of D2D communication. Based on this criterion, D2D pairs are allowed to share the spectrum when one D2D pair is far from another sufficiently. Furthermore, to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, a resource allocation scheme is proposed according to weighted graph coloring theory and the proposed ILA restriction. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme provides significant performance gains over the conventional scheme and the random allocation scheme.

This paper presents the impacts of Ultra-wideband(UWB) applied in the communication applications using frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz on Broadband Wireless Access(BWA) based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) using frequency band of 3.5 GHz. It proposes low duty cycle(LDC) for enabling UWB to mitigate strong interference to BWA. The effects of interference mitigation are evaluated and analyzed in the environment of UWB coexistence with BWA. UWB with LDC scheme will be given to bring higher transmit power level corresponding to Federal Communications Commission(FCC) provisional limit for enabling UWB operation at 3.5 GHz bands.

With the appearance of wireless spectrum crisis in traditional cellular network, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been regarded as a promising solution to ease heavy traffic burden by enabling precise content delivery among mobile users. However, due to the channel sharing, the interference between D2D and cellular users can affect the transmission rate and narrow the throughput in the network. In this paper, we firstly present a weighted interference minimization cluster formation model involving both social attribute and physical closeness. The weighted-interference, which is evaluated under the susceptible-infected(SI) model, is utilized to gather user in social and physical proximity. Then, we address the cluster formation problem via spectrum clustering with iterative operation. Finally, we propose the stable matching theory algorithm in order to maximize rate oriented to accomplish the one-to-one resource allocation. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme acquires quite well clustering effect and increases the accumulative transmission rate compared with the other two advanced schemes.

릴레이를 이용한 다중 홉 시스템은 기존의 단일 홉 시스템과 달리 주어진 전체 리소스 영역의 일부를 릴레이 통신에 할당하게 되어 효율적인 자원할당 알고리즘을 도입하지 않으면, 실제 사용이 가능한 리소스의 손실을 초래하게 된다. 또한, 릴레이 기반 셀룰러 시스템에서 생기는 인접 셀 간섭으로 인해 기지국과 단말기 또는 릴레이와 단말기 사이의 높은 링크 성능을 보장하지 못하는 경우가 발생해 리소스 효율이 급격히 떨어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 시스템의 하향링크 릴레이 협력 네트워크에서의 효율적인 자원할당 기법을 제안한다. 릴레이 협력 네트워크에서 각각의 통신 링크마다 고정 리소스 영역을 갖는 기존의 기법과는 달리, 제안된 자원할당 알고리즘은 각 통신 링크 간의 채널 상태 및 전송 가능 용량 등을 고려하여 각 리소스 블록 단위 별로 적응적으로 자원을 할당하는 기법이다. 또한 셀 또는 단말의 추가적인 전송률 증대를 위해 특정 통신 링크가 할당된 리소스 영역에 다른 통신 링크의 리소스를 중복하여 자원을 재사용하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 리소스 중복 할당 방식은 리소스 중복으로 인한 추가적인 간섭을 미리 고려하여 동적으로 자원을 할당하는 방식으로 단말기에서 간섭 제거 등의 추가적인 절차가 불필요하다.

The spectral efficiency of cellular networks can be improved when proximate users engage in device-to-device (D2D) communications to communicate directly without going through a base station. However, D2D communications that are not properly designed may generate interference with existing cellular networks. In this paper, we study resource allocation and power control to minimize the probability of an outage and maximize the overall network throughput. We investigate three power control-based schemes: the Partial Co-channel based Overlap Resource Power Control (PC.OVER), Fractional Frequency Reuse based Overlap Resource Power Control (FFR.OVER) and Fractional Frequency Reuse based Adaptive Power Control (FFR.APC) and also compare their performance. In PC.OVER, a certain portion of the total bandwidth is dedicated to the D2D. The FFR.OVER and FFR.APC schemes combine the FFR techniques and the power control mechanism. In FFR, the entire frequency band is partitioned into two parts, including a central and edge sub-bands. Macrocell users (mUEs) transmit using uniform power in the inner and outer regions of the cell, and in all three schemes, the D2D receivers (D2DRs) transmit with low power when more than one D2DRs share a resource block (RB) with the macrocells. For PC.OVER and FFR.OVER, the power of the D2DRs is reduced to its minimum, and for the FFR.APC scheme, the transmission power of the D2DRs is iteratively adjusted to satisfy the signal to interference ratio (SIR) threshold. The three schemes exhibit a significant improvement in the overall system capacity as well as in the probability of a user outage when compared to a conventional scheme.

본 논문에서는 LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 상향링크에서 제한된 자원을 보다 효율적으로 사용하기 위하여 하나의 셀룰러 링크와 다수의 D2D (Device-to-Device) 링크가 자원을 공유하는 시나리오를 고려하였다. 이때, 발생하는 간섭현상을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 eNB (evolved Node B)에게 영역 정보를 알릴 수 있는 DME (Discovery and Management Entity)라는 보조 장치를 고정위치에 설치한 후, 동일한 자원을 공유하는 CUE (Cellular User Equipment)가 DUE Rx (D2D UE Receiver)에게 주는 간섭을 회피하기 위하여 DME의 영역 정보기반 자원할당 기법을 제안하였고 더 나아가, 앞에서 제기한 영역 정보를 기반으로 자원을 할당한 후, 동일한 자원을 공유하는 D2D 링크들 사이의 간섭을 완화하기 위한 전력제어 기법을 제안하였다. 모의실험을 통하여 비교 및 분석한 결과 D2D 통신의 안정성이 향상되었고 전체시스템 성능도 우수하다는 것을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 원활한 통신이 어려운 재난안전통신 환경에서 고출력 단말이 한정된 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있는 자원할당 기법을 제안한다. 고출력 단말을 도입함에 따라 단말 당 전송률이 증가하고 서비스 영역이 커질 수 있지만 일반 단말과 동일한 주파수 자원을 재사용할 경우 간섭도 증가하여 재난지역 및 인접 지역 전체 시스템 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 간섭에 의해 기존 셀룰러 시스템 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)에서는 고출력 단말의 사용 가능 주파수 대역을 상향링크 788-798MHz, 하향링크 758-768MHz로 제한하고 있다. 이러한 제약조건 하에서 단말의 최저 성능 보장을 위한 자원할당 방식을 제안하고 제안한 자원할당 방식의 성능을 모의실험을 통해 검증한다.

A heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) is useful to increase the spectral and energy efficiency of wireless networks and to reduce the traffic load from the macro cell. The performance of the secondary user equipment (SUE) is affected by interference from the eNodeB (eNB) in a macro cell. To decrease the interference between the macro cell and the small cell, allocating resources properly is essential to an HCN. This study considers the scenario of a software-defined heterogeneous cellular network and performs the resource allocation process. First, we show the system model of HCN and formulate the optimization problem. The optimization problem is a complex process including power and frequency resource allocation, which imposes an extremely high complexity to the HCN. Therefore, a hierarchical resource allocation scheme is proposed, which including subchannel selection and a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based power allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed hierarchical scheme is effective in improving the system capacity and energy efficiency.

Construction projects are large-scale projects that require extensive construction costs and resources. Especially, scheduling is considered as one of the essential issues for project success. However, the schedule and resource management are challenging to conduct in high-tech construction projects including complex design of MEP and architectural finishing which has to be constructed within a limited workspace and duration. In order to deal with such a problem, this study suggests resource and sequence optimization using constraint programming in construction projects. The optimization model consists of two modules. The first module is the data structure of the schedule model, which consists of parameters for optimization such as labor, task, workspace, and the work interference rate. The second module is the optimization module, which is for optimizing resources and sequences based on Constraint Programming (CP) methodology. For model validation, actual data of plumbing works were collected from a construction project using a five-minute rate (FMR) method. By comparing actual data and optimized results, this study shows the possibility of reducing the duration of plumbing works in construction projects. This study shows decreased overall project duration by eliminating work interference by optimizing resources and sequences within limited workspaces.

To reduce the interferences between the radio equipments which are operated in frequency hopping mode, the frequency resource should be assigned to each equipment without overlapping when several groups of radio equipments operate in the same area. If the radio equipments are in a different area, the partial frequency overlaying can be permitted. From the isotropic multi-dimensional array, several frequency assignment tables can be extracted for a same area. Also several tables can be extracted for different areas. Since there can be no overlapped frequencies between the tables for the same area, no interference between the radio equipments in an area is guaranteed. The frequencies overlapped between 2 tables for 2 different areas are pre-planed as required. The interference performance in frequency hopping radio can be controlled as desired using the proposed Frequency Resource Assignment Algorithm using Isotropic multi-dimensional Array.
