In this letter, we address the problem of resource allocation with efficiency and quality of service (QoS) support in uplink for a wireless CDMA network supporting real-time (RT) and non-realtime (NRT) communication services. For RT and NRT users, there are different QoS requirements. We introduce and describe a new scheme, namely, traffic aided uplink opportunistic scheduling (TAUOS). While guaranteeing the different QoS requirements, TAUOS exploits the channel condition to improve system throughput. In TAUOS, the cross-layer information, file size information, is used to improve fairness for NRT users. Extensive simulation results show that our scheme can achieve high system throughput in uplink wireless CDMA systems, while guaranteeing QoS requirements.

This paper investigates the impacts of array weight errors (AWE) in an antenna array (AA) on a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver in uplink synchronous and asynchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. The performance degradation due to an AWE, which is approximated by a Gaussian distributed random variable, is estimated as a function of the variance of the AWE. Theoretical analysis, confirmed by simulation, demonstrates the tradeoffs encountered between system parameters such as the number of antennas and the variance of the AWE in terms of the achievable average bit error rate and the user capacity. Numerical results show that the performance of the PIC with the AA in the DS-CDMA uplink is sensitive to the AWE. However, either a larger number of antennas or uplink synchronous transmissions have the potential of reducing the overall sensitivity, and thus improving its performance.

Currently, communication at sea is more difficult than communication at inland due to the movement of route signs by waves. This paper conducts research on relay transmission and reception techniques to extend coverage in uplink situations. The uplink maritime communication environment between inland base stations and buoys located a certain distance inland was viewed as two hops, and a beam generated according to the number of antennas was selected and a performance analysis was conducted considering the movement of buoys measured by sensors.

In this paper, we address the design of adaptive handover schemes based on the signal strength measurement for cellular communications systems. Conventional handover algorithms, which are based only on the downlink measurement, cannot guarantee the required uplink quality because uplink channel can differ greatly from downlink channel quality. Therefore, we proposes a new suboptimal adaptive handover algorithm that considers both the uplink and downlink channel quality in order to achieve the best cell selection gains when there is a wide difference between the uplink and downlink signal quality. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance compared to conventional handover schemes.

In this paper, we propose the reliability constrained resource allocation scheduling algorithm in cellular network for uplink transmission, where uplink transmission is supported via packet switching schemes without the dedicated uplink circuit links. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, and compared with the conventional works to identify the pros and cons. The proposed uplink scheduling algorithm is to satisfy the constraints requirements of the MTC services which is considered as the core technology for future mobile wireless networks. It is different to conventional works which target to maximize the link capacity. The proposed algorithm provides reliable uplink transmission independent to the location and the quality of the wireless link of the mobile terminal. Based on the performance evaluation results, we conclude that the proposed method provides enhanced reliability performance than conventional works.

If ranging processes are not frequent in an uplink OFDMA system, the timing synchronization between base and mobile stations may not be maintained. Especially in the case of infrequent random accesses in a large cell, timing offsets can be considerable and the destroyed orthogonality of OFDMA signals may result in the degraded performance. This paper proposes a novel random access scheme for uplink OFDMA systems, which support the orthogonality of OFDMA signals with timing offsets by allowing a random access OFDMA symbol shorter than a normal one. In order to make uplink OFDMA systems robust to timing offsets, the proposed scheme inserts a zero-padding region in an OFDMA symbol.

This paper proposes a handover scheme using uplink and downlink signals in IEEE 802.16e systems. Exploiting the channel reciprocity in TDD systems, the proposed scheme triggers handover initiation process using uplink signal. In addition, it exploits the uplink and downlink hysteresis to determine the handover direction. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm with joint hysteresis reduces the outage probability by about 10% compared with the mobile assisted handover in IEEE 802.16e.

A distributed uplink power control algorithm based on flocking model is proposed to improve the energy efficiency of mobiles station (MS) in cellular networks. As each bird in a flock matches its velocity with the average velocity of the adjacent birds, each MS in a cell matches its uplink rate with the average uplink rate of the co-channel MSs in adjacent cells by controlling its transmission power. Results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the power consumption in the MS, while maintaining a low outage probability, which eventually improves the energy efficiency of the MS.

In this article, the uplink achievable rate is investigated for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) under correlated Ricean fading channel, where each base station (BS) and user are both deployed multiple antennas. Considering the availability of prior knowledge at BS, two different channel estimation approaches are adopted with and without prior knowledge. Based on these channel estimations, a two-layer decoding scheme is adopted with maximum ratio precoding as the first layer decoder and optimal second layer precoding in the second layer. Based on two aforementioned channel estimations and two-layer decoding scheme, the exact closed form expressions for uplink achievable rates are computed with and without prior knowledge, respectively. These derived expressions enable us to analyze the impacts of line-of-sight (LoS) component, two-layer decoding, data transmit power, pilot contamination, and spatially correlated Ricean fading. Then, numerical results illustrate that the system with spatially correlated Ricean fading channel is superior in terms of uplink achievable rate. Besides, it reveals that compared with the single-layer decoding, the two-layer decoding scheme can significantly improve the uplink achievable rate performance.

We investigate rate scheduling and power allocation problem for a delay constrained CDMA systems. Specifically, we determine an energy efficient scheduling policy, while each user maintains the short term (n time slots) average throughput. More importantly, it is shown that the optimal transmission strategy for the uplink is same as that of the downlink, called uplink and downlink duality. We then examine the performance of the optimum transmission strategy for the uplink and the downlink for various system environments.
