Closed Loop Cross Layer Scheduling for Goodput Maximization in Frequency Selective Environment with No CSIT

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems in combination with orthogonal frequency division multiple access and space division multiple access are flexible, spectrally efficient and of high capacity. These systems can allocate frequency, time, and space resources adaptively among mobile stations. Optimal resource allocation (RA) for maximizing the sum rate is usually too complex for practical applications, hence suboptimal algorithms are required. The performance of RA algorithms are degraded due to imperfections in channel state information at transmitter (CSIT). Thus, techniques that make the RA algorithm, robust against CSIT errors are favorable. In this paper, two novel suboptimal grouping algorithms are introduced that are shown to achieve better sum rate-complexity and fairness-complexity performances. A novel index is proposed to measure the efficiency of RA algorithms, which takes into account sum rate and complexity simultaneously. Moreover, the effect of erroneous CSIT on sum rate is investigated and it is shown that performance of the proposed RA algorithms with erroneous CSIT are superior to the existing schemes. Finally, fairness performance of the proposed RA algorithms are evaluated, which are shown to be the same if not superior to other existing algorithms.

In this paper, the downlink rate quantization and cross-layer scheduling design are investigated in multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems with imperfect channel state information at transmitter (CSIT). We shall propose a systematic analytical design framework based on information theoretical approach. To capture the effect of the potential packet outage, we introduce the average system goodput, which measures the average b/s/Hz delivered to the mobiles successfully, as the system performance objective. Numerical results demonstrate that, by considering the statistics of CSIT errors into the design, the proposed scheduling scheme provides significant performance enhancement.

Considering backhaul consumption, it may not be the best choice to engage all the time in full cooperative MIMO for interference mitigation. In this paper, we propose a novel downlink partial cooperative MIMO (Pco-MIMO) physical layer (PHY) scheme, which allows flexible tradeoff between the partial data cooperation level and the backhaul consumption. Based on this Pco-MIMO scheme, we consider dynamic transmit power and rate allocation according to the imperfect channel state information at transmitters (CSIT) and the queue state information (QSI) to minimize the average delay cost subject to average backhaul consumption constraints and average power constraints. The delay-optimal control problem is formulated as an infinite horizon average cost constrained partially observed Markov decision process (CPOMDP). By exploiting the special structure in our problem, we derive an equivalent Bellman Equation to solve the CPOMDP. To reduce computational complexity and facilitate distributed implementation, we propose a distributed online learning algorithm to estimate the per-flow potential functions and Lagrange multipliers (LMs) and a distributed online stochastic partial gradient algorithm to obtain the power and rate control policy. We prove the convergence and asymptotic optimality of the proposed solution.

An analytical framework for performance analysis and optimization of coded V-BLAST is developed. Average power and/or rate allocations to minimize the outage probability as well as their robustness and dual problems are investigated. Compact, closed-form expressions for the optimum allocations and corresponding system performance are given. The uniform power allocation is shown to be near optimum in the low outage regime in combination with the optimum rate allocation. The average rate allocation provides the largest performance improvement (extra diversity gain), and the average power allocation offers a modest SNR gain limited by the number of transmit antennas but does not increase the diversity gain. The dual problems are shown to have the same solutions as the primal ones. All these allocation strategies are shown to be robust. The reported results also apply to coded multiuser detection and channel equalization systems relying on successive interference cancelation.

We consider the power and rate allocation for a transmission in a wireless network where the transmitter knows the channel state of the desired receiver but only knows the statistics of the interferes. While this scenario is often encountered in practice, and extremely important in dense networks, its optimal solution was not yet known. The analysis considers nodes that are distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process, and hence applies both to cellular and to ad‐hoc networks. We derive (for the first time) the optimal power allocation at a node, based only on the channel gain to its desired receiver. We also derive the optimal rate allocation in networks that are characterized by the outage rate model. Considering sub‐optimal allocations, we advocate the use of the simple threshold scheduling scheme for power allocation and linear rate adaptation for rate allocation. We prove that these suboptimal schemes are close to optimal, for any channel fading. We also present simulation results over Rayleigh fading channels that show a maximum loss of 1.5% between the advocated schemes and the optimal schemes.

This paper develops an analytical framework for exploring the benefits of applying cluster-based multi-antenna non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in dense wireless networks. Using the tools of stochastic geometry, a new explicit expression and a tight approximation for per-cluster average data rates are derived in terms of relevant system parameters. Moreover, simulation results are provided to validate the accuracy of our analytical results and draw some essential system design insights. Based on the tractable expressions, we further consider the analysis and optimization of area spectral efficiency (ASE). It is analytically demonstrated that: 1) In terms of the per-cluster average data rate, there exists a wide range for the power allocation coefficient within a cluster where NOMA outperforms orthogonal multiple access (OMA); 2) The per-cluster average data rate of NOMA benefits more from the additional deployment of antennas at base stations (BSs) than that of OMA when the accuracy of channel state information at transmitter (CSIT) is fixed; 3) Regarding to ASE, there exists an optimal combination of the number of clusters and power allocation coefficient to maximize ASE. The performance gain of NOMA relative to OMA becomes marginal when the requirement of user fairness is stringent; 4) As for a special case that the power allocation coefficient is fixed, the analytical results indicate that ASE scales linearly with the number of antennas when the number of clusters is set optimally.

We address the problem of joint path selection and rate allocation in multipath wireless streaming, in order to optimize a media specific quality of service. We leverage on the existence of multiple parallel wireless services, in order to enhance the received video quality at a wireless client. An optimization problem is proposed, aimed at minimizing a video distortion metric based on sequence-dependent parameters, and transmission channel characteristics, for a given wireless network infrastructure. Even if joint optimal path selection and rate allocation is in general an NP complete problem, an in-depth analysis of the media distortion evolution allows defining a low complexity optimal streaming strategy, under reasonable network assumptions. In particular, we show that a greedy allocation of rates along paths with increasing error probability leads to an optimal solution. We argue that a network path should not be chosen for transmission, unless all other available paths with lower error probability have been chosen. Moreover, the chosen paths should be used at their maximum end-to-end bandwidth. These results are demonstrated for both independent network paths, and non-disjoint channel segments, in generic network topologies. Simulation results showed that the optimal rate allocation carefully trades off total encoding/transmission rate, with the end-to-end transmission error probability and the number of chosen paths. In many cases, the optimal rate allocation provides more than 20% improvement in received video quality, compared to heuristic-based algorithms.

Cross-layer scheduling and hybrid ARQ (HARQ) are effective means to improve the spectral efficiency of wireless systems and have been widely adopted in next generation wireless systems. However, most of the existing works handle HARQ and cross-layer scheduling in a decoupled manner based on heuristic approach. In this paper, we propose an integrated design framework for cross-layer scheduling and HARQ design in TDD multiuser systems with outdated knowledge of channel state information at the base station (CSIT). We focus on incremental redundancy in HARQ and derive the asymptotically optimal cross-layer policy (power allocation, rate allocation and user selection policies) to optimize the system goodput. In addition, we derive analytically closed-form expressions for the average system goodput where we can obtain useful design insights. For instance, the average system goodput scales in the order of O(In L) where L is the maximum transmission number of a packet, illustrating how the HARQ can enhance the cross-layer system goodput gain.

In this paper, we address the problem of QoS (Quality of Service) provisioning for multi-user video streaming over multiple heterogeneous wireless networks based on the distributed, cross-layer design framework. By jointly considering the rate allocation and the Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC), our proposal aims at maximizing the QoS provisioning under the given resource constraint. At first, we develop and evaluate a framework for optimal video rate allocation over multiple networks based on the observed Available Bit Rate (ABR) and the Round Trip Time (RTT) over each access network, as well as the video rate-distortion characteristics. The rate allocation is formulated as a convex optimization problem that minimizes the sum of all video streams expected distortion. Then, we propose an analytical JSCC scheme for error-resilient scalable encoded video, and integrate the JSCC with the specific rate allocation algorithm to improve the constructed video quality by optimally applying the appropriate channel coding rate given the constraints imposed by the transmission rate and the prevailing channel conditions. Objective and subjective simulation results are provided which demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed joint scheme.

Safe path-finding is extremely necessary for multihop wireless systems such as Wireless Sensor Networks. Multihop wireless systems are more unprotected to safety outbreaks as associated to single-stage wireless networks. Cross-layer design production is a precise significant character for wireless sensor Advanced security network is significant submissions. for the achievement of announcement among sensor nodes in wireless sensor network because the numbers composed is regularly less and the network is most vulnerable. Numerous Security methods have been suggested to deliver safety resolutions besides numerous threats to the Cross layer modification techniques in Wireless sensor networks. In this paper we overview the existing schemes for the security of cross-layer design in wireless sensor networks. The proposed Security model will provide more security between sensor nodes and the base station in wireless sensor network. Security is important for the success of the wireless sensor network because the data collected are often sensitive and the network is particularly vulnerable. In the cross-layer design, constraints are substituted between changed layers to protect the well-organized use of energy. In this paper, we propose a secure security model that is based on cross-layer design. It uses a cross layer optimization Machine Reproduction consequences confirm that our proposed safety model better in many situations and in unpromising violence-disposed to the situation.

The evolution of the Next Generation heterogeneous Networks relies on the improved services that these networks can provide to real-time applications. Applications running on wired networks work seamlessly with the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) protocol stack implementation. Its modularity eases functionality and improves performance of these applications. However, the channel conditions for wireless networks are constantly varying. This affects the performance of real-time wireless applications running on wireless networks. Therefore, the operation of the OSI protocol stack is not as effective as it is when used with its wired counterpart. This research paper proposes a Cross Layer Design architecture that can be used to extend the functionality of the OSI protocol stack allowing cross layer communication between non-adjacent layers of a wireless application. It proposes a means of improving end-user delay and per-user throughput of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The proposed method entails execution of cross-talk between the transport and MAC layers of the protocol stack through cross layer clients appended to each layer and controlled by a local host called a cross layer manager.

In this paper optimal transmission-rate and power allocation for multilink portable radio networks is investigated. The rate allocation problem is considered first for a static AWGN channel, which corresponds to the case when the portable unit is fixed in its position. The performance criterion is chosen to be the total bit error rate of the system and it is shown that the optimal link rates are those equalising the bit SNRs. The problem of allocating total transmitted power available to the system and both the power and the rate, is also considered from the same point of view. The case of slow-Rayleigh fading due to the human-induced motion of the portable is also investigated. The results reveal that rate allocation provides drastic improvement over the long term in comparison with the use of fixed rates.

SOHCL-RDT: A self-organized hybrid cross-layer design for reliable data transmission in wireless network

Ultra wideband (UWB) systems are currently an important wireless infrastructure for efficient short-range communications. To improve the system efficiency while guaranteeing the radio link level quality of services, transmission rate and power of the mobile nodes can be dynamically adjusted by executing an optimization algorithm at the access points (APs). In this paper, we present a cross layer rate and power allocation algorithm based on the multilayer model of time hopping (TH) pulse position modulation (PPM) UWB multimedia networks. We consider the performance of the TCP protocol under the proposed cross layer allocation scheme in various realistic UWB based infrastructure networking scenarios. © 2007 IEEE.
