Radio resource management scheme and outage analysis for network-assisted multi-hop D2D communications

In a cellular network it's very difficult to make spectrum resource more efficiently. Device-to-Device (D2D) technology enables new service opportunities, and provides high throughput and reliable communication while reducing the base station load. For better total performance, short-range D2D links and cellular links share the same radio resource and the management of interference becomes a crucial task. Here we argue that single-hop D2D technology can be used to further improve cellular networks performance if the key D2D radio resource management algorithms are suitably extended to support multi-hop D2D communications. Aiming to establish a new paradigm for the analysis and design of multi-hop D2D communications, We propose a radio resource allocation for multi-hop D2D routes based on interference avoidance approach in LTE-A networks. On top of that, we investigate the outage probability of D2D communication. We first introduce a new definition of outage probability by considering the maximum distance to be allowable for single-hop transmission. Then we study and analyze the outage performance of a multi-hop D2D route. We derive the general closed form expression of outage probability of the multi-hop D2D routes. The results demonstrate that the D2D radio, sharing the same resources as the cellular network, provide higher capacity compared to pure cellular communication where all the data is transmitted through the base station. They also demonstrate that the new method of calculation of D2D multi hop outage probability has better performance than classical method defined in the literature.     

UAV-assisted multi-hop D2D relaying for communication in large disaster area

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted communication is a promising technique for enabling ground users in a non-functional area (NFA) or disaster area to communicate. All the base stations in the disaster area may be partially or fully damaged due to the natural calamity. Device-to-device (D2D) communication can be a viable solution for immediate connection between users in an NFA. We propose a UAV-assisted multi-hop D2D communication following a hybrid power-time switching (PTS) in this paper. Moreover, a D2D user of a cluster can communicate with another D2D user in a different cluster through UAVs. However, D2D users can harvest energy from their respective ad hoc energy stations and forward the information to the nearby D2D user following a hybrid PTS-based strategy. We propose a time frame for the same and show a node-based energy harvesting strategy. The expressions of outage probability, throughput, end-to-end energy consumption, and energy efficiency are developed for the Rician and Nakagami-m faded channel. The impact of several network parameters such as energy harvesting factor, energy harvesting efficiency, and fading parameter on the network performance is also indicated.     

过时CSI下全双工中继辅助D2D网络的物理层安全

中继辅助终端直通（devicetodevice,D2D）网络通过与蜂窝网络共享频谱提高D2D用户的频谱效率和蜂窝用户（cellular user,CU）的物理层安全性。为进一步改善其性能,可以在基站和D2D链路的中继节点采用天线选择以及在中继节点采用全双工技术。然而,由于存在反馈时延和移动性,用于蜂窝链路和所有D2D链路天线选择的信道状态信息（channelstateinformation,CSI）均可能是过时的,针对该场景下的物理层安全性和可靠性问题,提出一种主动窃听和过时CSI场景下基站和中继节点均采用发射天线选择的全双工中继辅助D2D网络安全模型,推导CU的中断概率、遍历容量、非零安全容量概率、安全中断概率、渐近安全中断概率的解析表达式。数值计算与仿真结果均表明,基站发射天线数、中继干扰天线数越多,CU的安全性能越好;过时的CSI会降低CU的中断性能和安全性能。     

Segment cooperation communication in multi-hop wireless networks

Cooperative communication could enhance the performance of wireless communications by allowing nodes to cooperate with each other to provide spatial diversity gain. In cooperative communications, rational helper selection is an important issue to obtain good cooperative gain at destinations. There are many works on this topic; however, most of them are based on hop-by-hop model and few works investigate how to select helpers for the nodes in a multi-hop path to optimize the end-to-end performance. The helper selection for one node could affect the helper selection for other nodes on the same route and in turn affect end-to-end performance. In other words, the traditional hop-by-hop helper selection methods could not lead to optimal performance in multi-hop environments. To solve this, this paper firstly defines a novel cooperation mode, named segment cooperation, and deduces the capacity and outage probability of cooperation segment. Then new performance metrics, end-to-end capacity and end-to-end outage probability, are defined to measure the end-to-end performance of multi-hop route. Finally, a segment cooperation method is proposed to maximize these metrics.     

Closed-Form Outage Probability Expressions for Multihop Cognitive Radio Network with Best Path Selection Schemes in RF Energy Harvesting Environment

In this paper, a comparative study of parallel best path selection (PBPS) and immediate best path selection IBPS in terms of outage probability and throughput has been done in a multi hop cognitive radio network. The closed form expressions for the outage probability of secondary network in PBPS protocol as well as IBPS protocol in multihop scenario have been derived. We also find the impact of the number of parallel paths in multihop scenario on the outage probability and throughput of secondary network. The performance of PBPS scheme is compared with IBPS scheme. An optimum value of initial harvesting time for secondary nodes \((\tau )\) to achieve maximum throughput is also found for both the path selection schemes.

Power allocation and relay selection for network-coded D2D communication underlay heterogeneous cellular networks

Underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication is an attractive technology enabling nearby cellular users to communicate with each other directly in order to increase data rate and spectral efficiency. The current cellular heterogeneous networks consist of macrocell base stations and small cell base stations with different transmit powers and coverage areas. Femtocell is the most popular small cell which is expected to be utilized in dense and ultra-dense scenarios in the future. Network coding in relay-assisted multi-hop communications improves achievable transmission rate and coverage of D2D communications. In this paper, two-hop random linear network coding network in cooperative D2D communication (RLNC-CDC) is considered. We propose to use femtocell base station (FBS) as a relay. We assume that the D2D pair and relay operate in the frequency band which is allocated to femtocell network. Therefore, there would be interference from the relay node and the D2D communication on the femtocell network users. To reduce the interference, the sum of transmit powers of the D2D pair and selected relay FBS should be minimized in a way that the highest transmission rate for the D2D pair is achieved. The constraints on the bounds of transmit powers of the D2D and relay node as well as the minimum required transmission rate for D2D communication are considered and the optimum solution is obtained. Simulation results indicate that the proposed RLNC-CDC achieves higher data rate and smaller outage probability than the direct D2D transmission.     

Analysis and modeling of upstream throughput in multihop packet CDMA cellular networks

We consider the problem of throughput modeling of wireless multihop packet CDMA networks with cellular overlay using simple forwarding strategies in the upstream. Considering the effect of shadowing and distance-dependent path loss, we approximate the probability density of interference at each base station (BS) and compare numerical and simulation results for different path-loss parameters. We derive the probability density of the received power at each BS due to transmission of one packet from a random node, as well as the probability distribution of the number of packets received at each node per time slot. Subsequently, we use the above results to approximate the probability density of the total received power at each BS based on calculations of moments. We observe that the probability density of intercell interference due to transmissions from terminals and routers may be approximated by normal and log-normal densities, respectively. We quantify the network performance based on throughput, total consumed power, and outage probability for different system parameters. For homogeneous link efficiencies, introducing routers into the network while reducing the transmission power increases the mean and variance of interference to the desired signal, hence higher outage probability. However, there are ample opportunities inherent to multihop structure, applicable to any of the physical, data link, and network layers, which help increase the overall achievable network throughput.

Research on Throughout with SWIPT in Two-Way Relay System Under Power Splitting Receiver

We consider the Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer strategy optimization in the two-way transmission relay system under Power Splitting (PS) receiver. In such case, we propose two operational strategies for two-way transmission under PS receiver structure, (1) Delay-Limited-Relay strategy (PS-LDR) and (2) Delay-Tolerated-Relay strategy (PS-TDR). PS-LDR strategy is that both sending node and receiving node need synchronization of information transmission, so communication systems have higher Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) threshold for channels, or communication may break down. In order to explore the performance of PS-LDR strategy, we use outage probability to calculate the analytical expression of the actual maximum throughput (AMT). PS-TDR strategy allows that the information received by the receiving node delays with the information sent by the sending node. Communication system in PS-TDR strategy has lower SNR threshold than that in PS-LDR strategy. The analytical expression of the AMT is calculated by the ergodic capacity in PS-TDR strategy. The influences of system parameters on the optimal throughput in two strategies are discussed.

We also achieve the integral form for accurate expressions and closed form for approximate expressions. Finally, these analytical expressions are proved exactness according to Monte Carlo simulation.     

Cooperative transmission in energy harvesting-based cognitive D2D networks

A cognitive device-to-device (D2D) network with D2D transmitters (DTs) that harvest radio-frequency energy from the primary transmitters (PTs) is investigated. A novel D2D transmitter-assisted cooperative (DTAC) protocol is proposed, in which a group of DTs that have no transmission opportunity act as potential relays to improve the communications of the primary network. The outage probability of the primary networ is characterized and used to make comparisons between the direct link and the cooperative link which adopts selection combining and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) schemes at the primary receivers. The cooperative link with MRC scheme improves the outage performance of the primary network with direct link, as much as 93%. The active probability of the DTs and the outage probability are derived, and the D2D network throughput is maximized by finding an optimal transmission power for the PTs. Simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis.

基于用户中断概率的D2D通信干扰协调与资源分配

在LTE系统中引入设备直传(D2D)通信技术,会因为D2D用户复用蜂窝用户资源进行通信而产生同频干扰.在现有的干扰协调与资源分配研究中,都需要基站获取各个通信链路的信道状态信息(CSI),但这样无疑会增加基站的信令负担.为减小干扰与基站的信令负担,提出了一种基于用户中断概率的干扰协调与资源分配算法,首先在保证蜂窝用户正常通信的情况下,通过限制D2D用户到基站间的距离来降低干扰;其次通过遍历所有蜂窝用户的频谱资源,选择能使D2D用户的总中断概率最低的频谱资源进行复用.仿真结果表明,所提算法能够在保证蜂窝用户正常通信的情况下,明显降低D2D用户的平均中断概率,同时还能够降低基站信令负担.

An efficient resource optimization scheme for D2D communication

With the rapid development of wireless technologies, wireless access networks have entered their Fifth-Generation (5G) system phase. The heterogeneous and complex nature of a 5G system, with its numerous technological scenarios, poses significant challenges to wireless resource management, making radio resource optimization an important aspect of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in such systems. Cellular D2D communication can improve spectrum efficiency, increase system capacity, and reduce base station communication burdens by sharing authorized cell resources; however, can also cause serious interference. Therefore, research focusing on reducing this interference by optimizing the configuration of shared cellular resources has also grown in importance. This paper proposes a novel algorithm to address the problems of co-channel interference and energy efficiency optimization in a long-term evolution network. The proposed algorithm uses the fuzzy clustering method, which employs minimum outage probability to divide D2D users into several groups in order to improve system throughput and reduce interference between users. An efficient power control algorithm based on game theory is also proposed to optimize user transmission power within each group and thereby improve user energy efficiency. Simulation results show that these proposed algorithms can effectively improve system throughput, reduce co-channel interference, and enhance energy efficiency.     

Network coded multicast for multi-hop D2D communication systems

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider the wireless communication systems where multi-hop Device-to-Device (D2D) networks can coexist with the conventional cellular networks by sharing the downlink resource of cellular users (CUs). A multicast data flow is distributed over the multi-hop D2D networks where network coding (NC) can be employed at the intermediate nodes. To maximize the utility of the multicast flow, we formulate a joint optimization problem for the systems while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) for regular CUs. We propose a subgradient algorithm to solve the optimization problem by decomposing it into three sub-problems: multicast rate control, NC subgraph selection, and downlink resource reusing. In particular, we develop a greedy algorithm to deal with the downlink resource reusing sub-problem for it is NP hard. Numerical and simulation results prove the superior performance of the proposed techniques compared with the conventional routing scheme.
