QoE-driven voice quality evaluation model of VoIP based on network simulation

The quality of experience (QoE) evaluation model for voice over IP (VoIP) service is studied to analyze the impact of network parameters on voice quality and monitor voice quality in real-time for operators. Firstly, the influence of some network parameters on the voice quality of VoIP is investigated. Then, a simulation platform for VoIP transmission is built to collect voice data under different network enviornments. According to the simulation results, a new mapping model between these arguments and VoIP voice quality is deduced. Finally, the accuracy of this voice quality evaluation model is examined and the results demanstrate that it has high reliability and feasibility.     

Multi-criteria user selection scheme for learning-based multiuser MIMO cognitive radio networks

For multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) cognitive radio (CR) networks a four-stage transmiision structure is proposed. In learning stage, the learning-based algorithm with low overhead and high flexibility is exploited to estimate the channel state information (CSI) between primary (PR) terminals and CR terminals. By using channel training in the second stage of CR frame, the channels between CR terminals can be achieved. In the third stage, a multi-criteria user selection scheme is proposed to choose the best user set for service. In data transmission stage, the total capacity maximization problem is solved with the interference constraint of PR terminals. Finally, simulation results show that the multi-criteria user selection scheme, which has the ability of changing the weights of criterions, is more flexible than the other three traditional schemes and achieves a tradeoff between user fairness and system performance.

Feedback-based unequal error protection fountain code over device-to-device broadcast

To enhance encoding efficiency, an unequal error protection （UEP） broadcast scheme based on one additional feedback is proposed. Different from the equal probability selection for source packets in traditional fountain encoding, the proposed scheme calculates the packet loss ratio （PLR） according to the feedback results in systematic broadcast phase （SBP） and then optimizes the selection probability for source packets to guarantee higher level error protection for those source packets with larger PLRs. Thus the amount of unnecessarily redundant encoded packets during encoding broadcast phase （EBP） is decreased significantly. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can recover 60% more packets than the traditional non-feedback broadcast scheme at the ex- pense of tolerably only one feedback procedure.

Quality of experience (QoE) based scheduling algorithm of long term evalution (LTE) network with various traffics is studied. Utility functions are adopted to estimate mean opinion score (MOS) for different traffics and a new MOS metric called normalized MOS is defined. A scheduling algorithm based on normalized MOS and greedy algorithm is proposed, aiming at maximizing the entirety MOS level of the whole users in the cell. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with other typical scheduling algorithms and the simulation results show that the algorithm proposed outperform other ones in term of QoE and fairness.     

Distributed power allocation over indoor multi-pico stations

A low-complexity distributed power allocation algorithm is proposed to reduce the interference and improve the transmitting rate of edge users. Different scenarios are considered and user experience of indoor communication is promoted. The simulation results prove the effectiveness of our algorithm. The proposed power control scheme ensures that more users can achieve their required rate and the fairness of different users is improved. Besides, more than 50% energy can be saved without loss in outage ability, and energy efficiency is also promoted. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be extended to scenarios that the required rates of pico stations can be changed periodically.     

D2D communication in a cellular network based on link adaptation with truncated ARQ

A device-to-device （D2D） communication mode underlaying cellular network in a single- cell environment is introduced. A practical method based on link adaptation with automatic repeat request （ARQ） is presented. Link adaptation technique, which combines adaptive modulation and coding （ AMC ） with truncated ARQ, can maximize the cellular UEs＇ data rate under prescribed delay and performance constraints. The proposed method can maximize the total transmission rate when an outage probability is determined. Numerical results show that with proper power control, the in- terference between the two links can be coordinated to increase the sum rate without overwhelming the cellular service.     

Novel Mapping Design Criterion for BICM-ID with Square QAM Constellations

Mapping design criteria of bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) with square 16QAM are analyzed. Three of the existing criteria are analyzed and compared with each other. Through the comparison, two main characters of the mapping design criteria are found. They are the harmonic mean of the minimum squared Euclidean distance and the average of Hamming distances with the nearest Euclidean distance.Based on these two characters, a novel mapping design criterion is proposed and a label mapping named mixed mapping is searched according to it. Simulation results show that mixed mapping performs better than the other mappings in BICM-ID system.
