In this paper, we consider the femto users and their mutual interference as graph elements, nodes and weighted edges, respectively. The total bandwidth is divided into a number of resource blocks (RBs) and these are assigned to the femto user equipment (FUEs) using a graph coloring algorithm. In addition, resources blocks are assigned to the femto users to avoid inter-cell interference. The proposed scheme is compared with the traditional scheduling schemes in terms of throughput and fairness and performance improvement is achieved by exploiting the graph coloring scheme.

차세대 양방향데이터방송 (BIFS: BInary Format for Scenes) 서비스에서는 하향링크(downlink) 데이터 전송률에 상응하는 높은 상향링크(uplink) 데이터 전송률이 요구되고 있다. 이에 무선 전송 채널의 한정된 자원 환경 속에서 상향링크 전송용량 증대를 위한 주파수 효율성 제고 기술의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 양방향데이터방송을 위한 다중 모바일(mobile) 사용자의 클러스터(cluster) 기반 상향링크 협동 다이버시티(cooperative diversity) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 하나의 단일 안테나(single antenna) 방송 기지국과 다수의 단일 안테나 모바일 사용자가 있는 상향링크 시분할다중접속 (TDMA: Time Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 데이터 지연허용(delay-tolerant)에 따라 클러스터를 구성하고 제곱 다이버시티 차수(square diversity order)의 협동 프로토콜(cooperative protocol)을 통해 높은 공간다이버시티 이득(spatial diversity gain)을 얻는다. 또한, 비대칭(asymmetric) 무선 채널 환경에서 공정성(fairness)을 보장한다.

We have designed and investigated a new congestion control scheme, called optimal and fully explicit (OFEX) controller. Different from existing relatively explicit controllers, this new scheme can provide not only optimal bandwidth allocation but also a fully explicit congestion signal to sources. It uses the congestion signal from the most congested link instead of the cumulative signal from the flow path. In this way, it overcomes the drawback of relatively explicit controllers exhibiting bias toward multi-bottlenecked users and significantly improves their convergence speed and source throughput performance. Furthermore, our OFEX-controller design considers a dynamic model by proposing a remedial measure against the unpredictable bandwidth changes in contention-based multi-access networks. Compared with former works/controllers, this remedy also effectively reduces the instantaneous queue size in a router and thus significantly improves queuing delay and packet loss performance. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the OFEX controller in OPNET. The experimental comparison with the existing relatively explicit controllers verifies the superiority of our new scheme.

In this paper, a framework for power allocation of downlink transmissions in orthogonal frequency division multiple access-based decode-and-forward cellular relay networks is investigated. We consider a system with a single base station communicating with multiple users assisted by multiple relays. The relays have limited power which must be divided among the users they support in order to maximize the data rate of the whole network. Advanced power allocation schemes are crucial for such networks. The optimal relay power allocation which maximizes the data rate is proposed as an upper bound, by finding the optimal power requirement for each user based on knapsack problem formulation. Then by considering the fairness, a new relay power allocation scheme, called weighted-based scheme, is proposed. Finally, an efficient power reallocation scheme is proposed to efficiently utilize the power and improve the data rate of the network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed power allocation schemes can significantly improve the data rate of the network compared to the traditional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic parallel channel allocation mechanism that dynamically controls total number of allocation channels of each subscriber to effectively service user bandwidth demands while high utilization and fairness are guaranteed in WDM based optical access networks. The logical performance gain of statistical multiplexing by dynamic channel allocation is validated with analytic method as well as simulations. We also introduce the adaptive padding scheme in order to efficiently distribute forwarded frames to aggregated multi-link channels which are formed by parallel channel allocation mechanism. The proposed scheme shows the performance enhancement by minimizing unnecessary padding size and the processing time.

This paper studies the uplink resource allocation for multiple radio access (MRA) in reconfigurable radio systems, where multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) and MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) networks coexist. By assuming multi-radio user equipment with network-guided operation, the optimal resource allocation for MRA is analyzed as a cross-layer optimization framework with and without fairness consideration to maximize the uplink sum-rate capacity. Numerical results reveal that parallel MRA, which uses MC-CDMA and OFDMA networks concurrently, outperforms the performance of each MC-CDMA and OFDMA network by exploiting the multiuser selection diversity.

B-ISDN has many advantages to provide multimedia, image transfer, etc. Recently, ABR service has been proposed in order to satisfy user's various requirements in it. In this paper, we propose a new ABR flow control algorithm called CAPRO. This algorithm uses the buffer proportional to propagation delay and controls the traffic on a link-by-link basis in order to minimize the effect of propagation delay. In order to use buffer more efficienctly, we define the request cell and the control cell. Then, we analyze our algorithm using mathematical model, simulate it using SLAM system, and compare to the existing EPRCA. As a result, our algorithm has the benifit of the throughput, cell loss probability, and fairness.

In this paper, we study the distributed cooperative caching for Internet content providers in a small cell of heterogeneous network (HetNet). A general framework based on bankruptcy game model is put forth for finding the optimal caching policy. In this framework, the small cell and different content providers are modeled as bankrupt company and players, respectively. By introducing strategic decisions into the bankruptcy game, we propose a caching value assessment algorithm based on analytic hierarchy process in the framework of bankruptcy game theory to optimize the caching strategy and increase cache hit ratio. Our analysis shows that resource utilization can be improved through cooperative sharing while considering content providers' satisfaction. When the cache value is measured by multiple factors, not just popularity, the cache hit rate for user access is also increased. Simulation results show that our approach can improve the cache hit rate while ensuring the fairness of the distribution.

While the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) mobile communication networks are being rolled over the globe, several world-wide companies have already started to prepare the sixth generation (6G). Such 6G mobile networks targets ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). In this paper, we challenge to reduce the inherent latency of existing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in 5G networks of massive connectivity. First, we propose the novel unipodal binary pulse amplitude modulation (2PAM) NOMA, especially without SIC, which greatly reduce the latency in existing NOMA. Then, the achievable data rates for the unipodal 2PAM NOMA are derived. It is shown that for unequal gain channels, the sum rate of the unipodal 2PAM NOMA is comparable to that of the standard 2PAM NOMA, whereas for equal gain channels, the sum rate of the unipodal 2PAM NOMA is superior to that of the standard 2PAM NOMA. In result, the unipodal 2PAM could be a promising modulation scheme for NOMA systems toward 6G.

The radio resources available in a wireless network system are limited. Therefor, job of managing resources is not easy task. Because the resources are shared among the UEs that are connected, the process of assigning resources must be carefully controlled. The packet scheduler in an LTE network is in charge of allocating resources to the user equipment (UE). Femtocells networks are being considered as a promising solution for poor channel performance for mulitple environments. The implementation of femtocells into a macrocell (traditional base station) would boost the capacities of the cellular network. To increase femtocells network capacity, a reliable Packet Scheduler mechanism should be implemented. The Packet Scheduler technique is introduced in this paper to maximize capacity of the network while maintaining fairness among UEs. The proposed solution operates in a manner consistent with this principle. An analysis of the proposed scheme's performance is conducted using a computer simulation. The results reveal that it outperforms the well-known PF scheduler in terms of cell throughput and average throughput of UEs.
