We consider the D2D sum utility maximization in the cellular system. D2D links reuse the uplink resource of cellular system. This reuse may cause severe interference to cellular users. To protect the cellular users, interference limit from the D2D links is required. In this setting, D2D sum utility maximization problem is investigated. Each D2D link has limited transmit power budget. Because optimum solution may require global information between links and computational complexity, we propose the distributed algorithm which only require the local information from each D2D link and simple broadcasting. Simulation results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The detection of all the symbols transmitted simultaneously in multiuser systems using limited wireless resources is challenging. Traditional model-based methods show high performance with perfect channel state information (CSI); however, severe performance degradation will occur if perfect CSI cannot be acquired. In contrast, data-driven methods perform slightly worse than model-based methods in terms of symbol error ratio performance in perfect CSI states; however, they are also able to overcome extreme performance degradation in imperfect CSI states. This study proposes a novel deep learning-based method by improving a state-of-the-art data-driven technique called deep soft interference cancellation (DSIC). The enhanced DSIC (EDSIC) method detects multiuser symbols in a fully sequential manner and uses an efficient neural network structure to ensure high performance. Additionally, error-propagation mitigation techniques are used to ensure robustness against channel uncertainty. The EDSIC guarantees a performance that is very close to the optimal performance of the existing model-based methods in perfect CSI environments and the best performance in imperfect CSI environments.

위성 DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시스템은 도심 환경에서 위성으로부터의 감쇄된 신호를 증폭하기 위하여 별도의 수신신호 증폭을 위한 지상 중계기(Gap-filler)를 필요로 한다. 따라서 Gap-filler를 통해 증폭된 신호는 위성으로부터 직접 수신된 신호에 비하여 위성 DMB 시스템 간에 보다 더 큰 간섭을 야기한다. Gap-filler를 통해 발생된 위성 DMB 시스템 간의 간섭에 의해 위성 DMB 시스템의 Outage Capacity가 제한될 수 있기 때문에, 위성 DMB 시스템 간의 상호간섭 효과를 최소화 하여야 각 시스템의 기대 Outage Capacity를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-R BO. 1130-4를 토대로, 보다 정확한 파라미터를 사용한 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션을 통해 위성 DMB 시스템간의 상호간섭을 분석하고, 각 시스템의 Gap-filer에서 설정한 Spectrum Mask를 이용하여 간섭을 최소화하고 Outage Capacity를 극대화하기 위한 Gap-filler를 이용하는 위성 DMB 시스템간의 보호대역 및 적정 셀 반경을 제안한다.

전 세계적으로 스마트폰의 확산으로 모바일 데이터 서비스 관련 산업계 생태계가 본격적으로 활성화되었다. 이로 인해, 모바일 데이터 트래픽은 최근 몇 년간 폭발적으로 증가해왔으며 앞으로 그 증가 속도는 더욱 빨라질 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이렇게 폭발적으로 증가하는 모바일 데이터 트래픽을 원활히 수용하기 위해서는 추가적인 무선 주파수 발굴 및 확보가 불가피하다. 그러나, 무선 통신으로 활용할 수 있는 주파수 범위는 제한적이므로, 서로 다른 대역간 충분한 보호 대역을 확보하는 것은 어려울 것으로 예상되며, 앞으로는 서로 다른 대역간 간섭으로 인한 시스템 성능 저하가 매우 중요한 문제가 될 것이다. 그러나, 불행히도 이에 대한 정확한 정량적 분석 연구가 없었다. 본 논문에서는 LTE 시스템에서 서로 다른 대역간 발생할 수 있는 교차 간섭 (Cross Interference)의 영향을 시스템 레벨 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 다양한 상황에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 자기 신호의 품질이 낮거나 자기의 인접 셀로부터의 간섭이 낮은 환경에서 인접 대역 간섭으로 인한 성능 열화가 심하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a technology component for long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A). In D2D communication, users in close proximity to each other can communicate directly without going through a base station; such direct communication can improve spectral efficiency. Although D2D communication brings improvement in spectral efficiency, it also causes interference to the cellular network as a result of spectrum sharing. In particularly, D2D communication can generate interference for each D2D pair when the common wireless medium in a co-located limited area is accessed. Even though the interference management for between the D2D pair and cellular networks has been proposed, the interference reducing methods have still not been fully studied for the D2D pairs. In this paper, we investigate the problem of D2D pair coexistence in which interference is considered between D2D pairs. Using a signal to interference model for a target D2D pair, we provide an analysis of the aggregated throughput of a dense D2D network. For a target D2D pair, we assume that the desired signal and interference signals obey multipath fading and shadow fading. Through analysis, we demonstrate the effect of cluster size such as the number of D2D pairs and the size of the considered area on the network performance. The analytical results are compared with computer simulations. Our work can be used for a rough guideline for controlling the system throughput in a dense D2D network environment.

DS-CDMA 방식의 이동통신 시스댐에서 계속 증가하는 가입자의 용량 증대 및 향후 예상되는 광대역 고속 데이터 서비스를 수용하기 위해 대역 사용효율이 높은 SSB변조 방식을 적용할 펼요가 있다. 그러나, SSB 변조 방식을 BPSK - DS/CDMA방식에 적용하면 대역 사용효율은 증가하나 다중 사용자 간섭의 증가로 성능이 감소 한다. 따라서 증가된 다중 사용자 간섭을 제거하기위해 연속간섭제거 기법을 적용한 SSB/BPSK-DS/CDMA방 식을 제안하고, 성능분석 및 용량분석을 하였다. 주어진 시스템의 가용 대역폭에서 연속간섭제거 기법을 적용한 S SSB/BPSK -DS/CDMA기볍이 종래의 연속간섭제거 기법이 적용된 BPSK -DS/CDMA 보다 더 많은 가입자 수 용량을 제공할 수 있음을 분석하였다.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communications can provide proximity based services in the future 5G cellular networks. It allows short range communication in a limited area with the advantages of power saving, high data rate and traffic offloading. However, D2D communications may reuse the licensed channels with cellular communications and potentially result in critical interferences to nearby devices. To control the interference and improve network throughput in overlaid D2D cellular networks, a novel channel assignment approach is proposed in this paper. First, we characterize the performance of devices by using Poisson point process model. Then, we convert the throughput maximization problem into an optimal spectrum allocation problem with signal to interference plus noise ratio constraints and solve it, i.e., assigning appropriate fractions of channels to cellular communications and D2D communications. In order to mitigate the interferences between D2D devices, a cluster-based multi-channel assignment algorithm is proposed. The algorithm first cluster D2D communications into clusters to reduce the problem scale. After that, a multi-channel assignment algorithm is proposed to mitigate critical interferences among nearby devices for each D2D cluster individually. The simulation analysis conforms that the proposed algorithm can greatly increase system throughput.

The available underwater acoustic spectrum is limited. Therefore, it is imperative to avoid frequency interference from overlapping frequencies of underwater acoustic equipment (UAE) for the co-existence of the UAE. Cognitive technology that senses idle spectrum and actively avoids frequency interference is an efficient method to facilitate the collision-free operation of multiple UAE with overlapping frequencies. Cognitive technology is adopted to identify the frequency usage of UAE to apply cognitive technology. To this end, we investigated two principle underwater acoustic sources: UAE and marine animals. The UAE is classified into five types: underwater acoustic modem, acoustic positioning system, multi-beam echo-sounder, side-scan sonar, and sub-bottom profiler. We analyzed the parameters of the frequency band, directivity, range, and depth, which play a critical role in the design of underwater acoustic cognitive technology. Moreover, the frequency band of several marine species was also examined. The mid-frequency band from 10 - 40 kHz was found to be the busiest. Lastly, this study provides useful insights into the design of underwater acoustic cognitive technologies, where it is essential to avoid interference among the UAE in this mid-frequency band.

This paper investigates the power allocation and outage performance of MIMO full-duplex relaying (MFDR), based on orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), in cognitive radio systems. OSTBC transmission is used as a simple means to achieve multi-antenna diversity gain. Cognitive MFDR systems not only have the advantage of increasing spectral efficiency through spectrum sharing, but they can also extend coverage through the use of relays. In cognitive MFDR systems, the primary user experiences interference from the secondary source and relay simultaneously, owing to full duplexing. It is therefore necessary to optimize the transmission powers at the secondary source and relay. In this paper, we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme based on minimizing the outage probability in cognitive MFDR systems. We also analyse the outage probability of the secondary user in noise-limited and interference-limited environments in Nakagami-m fading channels. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve performance improvements in terms of reducing outage probability.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of power allocation in a heterogeneous network that is composed of a pair of cognitive users (CUs) and an infrastructure-based primary network. Since CUs have only limited effective spectrum-sensing ability and primary users (PUs) are not active all the time in all locations and licensed bands, we set up a new multi-area model to characterize the heterogeneous network. A novel combined interference-avoidance policy corresponding to different PU-appearance situations is introduced to protect the primary network from unacceptable disturbance and to increase the spectrum secondary-reuse efficiency. We use dual decomposition to transform the original power allocation problem into a two-layer optimization problem. We propose a low-complexity joint power-optimizing method to maximize the transmission rate between CUs, taking into account both the individual power-transmission constraints and the combined interference power constraint of the PUs. Numerical results show that for various values of the system parameters, the proposed joint optimization method with combined PU protection is significantly better than the opportunistic spectrum access mode and other heuristic approaches.
