- Fundamental tradeoffs in green cellular networkswith coexistence of machine-oriented and human-oriented trafficsare investigated. First, we present a queuing system to modelthe uplink transmission of a green base station which servestwo types of distinct traffics with strict requirements on delayand battery lifetime. Then, the energy-lifetime and energydelaytradeoffs are introduced, and closed-form expressions forenergy consumption of the base station, average experienceddelay in data transmission, and expected battery lifetime ofmachine devices are derived. Furthermore, we extend the derivedresults to the multi-cell scenario, and investigate the impacts ofsystem and traffic parameters on the energy-lifetime and energydelaytradeoffs using analytical and numerical results. Numericalresults show the impact of energy saving for the access network onthe introduced tradeoffs, and figure out the ways in which energycould be saved by compromising on the level of performance.

- In Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks, an energyefficient scalable medium access control (MAC) is crucial forserving massive battery-driven machine-type devices. In thispaper, we investigate the energy efficient MAC design to minimizebattery power consumption in cellular-based M2M communications.We present an energy efficient MAC protocol that notonly adapts contention and reservation-based protocols for M2Mcommunications in cellular networks, but also benefits frompartial clustering to handle the massive access problem. Then weinvestigate the energy efficiency and access capacity of contentionbasedprotocols and present an energy efficient contention-basedprotocol for intra-cluster communication of the proposed MAC,which results in huge power saving. The simulation results showthat the proposed MAC protocol outperforms the others in energysaving without sacrificing much delay or throughput. Also, thelifetimes of both individual nodes and the whole M2M networkare significantly extended.

Energy Efficient Machine-Type Communications over Cellular Networks : A Battery Lifetime-Aware Cellular Network Design Framework
- 2016

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of uniquely identifiable smart devices which enables them to participate more actively in everyday life. Among large-scale applications, machine-type communications (MTC) supported by cellular networks will be one of the most important enablers for the success of IoT. The existing cellular infrastructure has been optimized for serving a small number of long-lived human-oriented communications (HoC) sessions, originated from smartphones whose batteries are charged in a daily basis. As a consequence, serving a massive number of non-rechargeable machine-type devices demanding a long battery lifetime is a big challenge for cellular networks.The present work is devoted to energy consumption modeling, battery lifetime analysis, and lifetime-aware network design for massive MTC services over cellular networks. At first, we present a realistic model for energy consumption of machine devices in cellular connectivity, which is employed subsequently in deriving the key performance indicator, i.e. network battery lifetime. Then, we develop an efficient mathematical foundation and algorithmic framework for lifetime-aware clustering design for serving a massive number of machine devices. Also, by extending the developed framework to non-clustered MTC, lifetime-aware uplink scheduling and power control solutions are derived. Finally, by investigating the delay, energy consumption, spectral efficiency, and battery lifetime tradeoffs in serving coexistence of HoC and MTC traffic, we explore the ways in which energy saving for the access network and quality of service for HoC traffic can be traded to prolong battery lifetime for machine devices.The numerical and simulation results show that the proposed solutions can provide substantial network lifetime improvement and network maintenance cost reduction in comparison with the existing approaches.

- Performance tradeoffs in resource provisioningfor mixed internet-of-things (IoT) and human-orientedcommunications(HoC) services over cellular networks are investigated.First, we present a low-complexity model of cellularconnectivity in the uplink direction in which both accessreservation and scheduled data transmission procedures areincluded. This model is employed subsequently in derivinganalytical expressions for energy efficiency, spectral efficiency,and experienced delay in data transmission of connected devicesas well as energy consumption of base stations. The derivedexpressions indicate that the choice of uplink resource provisioningstrategy introduces tradeoffs between battery lifetime forIoT communications, quality of service (QoS) for HoC, spectralefficiency and energy consumption for the access network. Then,the impacts of system and traffic parameters on the introducedtradeoffs are investigated. Performance analysis illustrates thatimproper resource provisioning for IoT traffic not only degradesQoS of high-priority services and decreases battery lifetime ofIoT devices, but also increases energy consumption of the accessnetwork. The presented analytical and simulations results figureout the ways in which spectral/energy efficiency for the accessnetwork and QoS for high-priority services could be traded toprolong battery lifetimes of connected devices by compromisingon the level of provisioned radio resources.

- Radio access management plays a vital role in delay and energy consumption of connected devices. The radio access in existing cellular networks is unable to efficiently support massive connectivity, due to its signaling overhead. In this paper, we investigate an asynchronous grant-free narrowband data transmission protocol that aims to provide low energy consumption and delay, by relaxing the synchronization/reservation requirement at the cost of sending several packet copies at the transmitter side and more complex signal processing at the receiver side. Specifically, the timing and frequency offsets, as well as sending of multiple replicas of the same packet, are exploited as form of diversities at the receiver-side to trigger successive interference cancellation. The proposed scheme is investigated by deriving closed-form expressions for key performance indicators, including reliability and battery-lifetime. The performance evaluation indicates that the scheme can be tuned to realize long battery lifetime radio access for low-complexity devices. The obtained results indicate existence of traffic load regions, where synchronous access outperforms asynchronous access and vice versa.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is the latest IoT connectivity solution presented by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). NB-IoT introduces coverage classes and offers a significant link budget improvement by allowing repeated transmissions by nodes that experience high path loss. However, those repetitions necessarily increase the energy consumption and the latency in the whole NB-IoT system. The extent to which the whole system is affected depends on the scheduling of the uplink and downlink channels. We address this question, not treated previously, by developing a tractable model of NB-IoT access protocol operation, comprising message exchanges in random-access, control, and data channels, both in the uplink and downlink The model is then used to analyze the impact of channel scheduling as well as the interaction of coexisting coverage classes, through derivation of the expected latency and battery lifetime for each coverage class. These results are subsequently employed in investigation of latency-energy tradeoff in NB-IoT channel scheduling as well as determining the optimized operation points. Simulations results show validity of the analysis and confirm that channel scheduling and coexistence of coverage classes significantly affect latency and battery lifetime performance of NB-IoT devices.

- High energy efficiency is critical for enabling massive machine-type communications (MTC) over cellular networks. This paper is devoted to energy consumption modeling, battery lifetime analysis, lifetime-aware scheduling, and transmit power control for massive MTC over cellular networks. We consider a realistic energy consumption model for MTC and model network battery-lifetime. Analytic expressions are derived to demonstrate the impact of scheduling on both the individual and network battery lifetimes. The derived expressions are subsequently employed in the uplink scheduling and transmit power control for mixed-priority MTC traffic in order to maximize the network lifetime. Besides the main solutions, low complexity solutions with limited feedback requirement are investigated, and the results are extended to existing LIE networks. In addition, the energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and network lifetime tradeoffs in resource provisioning and scheduling for MTC over cellular networks are investigated. The simulation results show that the proposed solutions can provide substantial network lifetime improvement and network maintenance cost reduction in comparison with the existing scheduling schemes.

Serving IoT Communications over Cellular Networks : Challenges and Solutions in Radio Resource Management for Massive and Critical IoT Communications
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Internet of Things (IoT) communications refer to the interconnections of smart devices, with reduced human intervention, which enable them to participate more actively in everyday life. It is expected that introduction of a scalable, energy efficient, and reliable IoT connectivity solution can bring enormous benefits to the society, especially in healthcare, wellbeing, and smart homes and industries. In the last two decades, there have been efforts in academia and industry to enable IoT connectivity over the legacy communications infrastructure. In recent years, it is becoming more and more clear that the characteristics and requirements of the IoT traffic are way different from the legacy traffic originating from existing communications services like voice and web surfing, and hence, IoT-specific communications systems and protocols have received profound attention. Until now, several revolutionary solutions, including cellular narrowband-IoT, SigFox, and LoRaWAN, have been proposed/implemented. As each of these solutions focuses on a subset of performance indicators at the cost of sacrificing the others, there is still lack of a dominant player in the market capable of delivering scalable, energy efficient, and reliable IoT connectivity. The present work is devoted to characterizing state-of-the-art technologies for enabling large-scale IoT connectivity, their limitations, and our contributions in performance assessment and enhancement for them. Especially, we focus on grant-free radio access and investigate its applications in supporting massive and critical IoT communications. The main contributions presented in this work include (a) developing an analytical framework for energy/latency/reliability assessment of IoT communications over grant-based and grant-free systems; (b) developing advanced RRM techniques for energy and spectrum efficient serving of massive and critical IoT communications, respectively; and (c) developing advanced data transmission/reception protocols for grant-free IoT networks. The performance evaluation results indicate that supporting IoT devices with stringent energy/delay constraints over limited radio resources calls for aggressive technologies breaking the barrier of the legacy interference-free orthogonal communications.

- Cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) has been proposed as an effective solution to reduce energy consumption of cellular networks. In this paper, we investigate the impact of network traffic load on area spectral efficiency (ASE) and energy efficiency (EE) of cellular networks with cell DTX. Closedform expressions of ASE and EE as functions of traffic load for cellular networks with cell DTX are derived. It is shown that ASE increases monotonically in traffic load, while EE depends on the power consumption of base stations in sleep mode. If this power consumption is larger than a percentage of the active-mode power consumption, EE increases monotonically with traffic load and is maximized when the network is fully loaded. Otherwise, EE first increases and then decreases in traffic load. In this case, ASE and EE are maximized with different loads. The percentage threshold only depends on the path loss exponent of radio propagation environment and is calculated to be 56.2% when the path loss exponent is 4.

Cross-Layer Energy-Efficient Mobile Network Design
- 2018

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- To assure the sustainable development of mobile networks, it is crucial to improve their energy efficiency. This thesis is devoted to the design of energy-efficient mobile networks. A cross-layer design approach is adopted. The resource management at the MAC layer, the network layer as well as the service layer are optimized to improve the energy efficiency of mobile networks. The problem of optimizing the MAC-layer resource allocation of the downlink transmission in multi-carrier NOMA systems to maximize the system energy efficiency while satisfying users’ QoS requirements is firstly considered. The optimal power allocation across sub-carriers and across users sharing one sub-carrier are proposed. Furthermore, exploiting the structure of the optimal power allocation across users sharing one sub-carrier, a sub-optimal solution for sub-carrier assignment, which greedily minimizes the required power to serve all users with required QoS, is developed. Besides optimizing the channel assignment and power allocation within a single cell, the link scheduling in the multi-cell scenario to deal with inter-cell interference is also studied. A scalable distributed link scheduling solution is proposed to orchestrate the transmission and DTX micro-sleep of multiple base stations such that both the inter-cell interference and the energy consumption are reduced. At the network layer, the operation of base station sleeping is optimized to improve the energy efficiency of mobile networks without deteriorating users’ QoS. The spectral and energy efficiency of mobile networks, where base stations are enabled with DTX, under different traffic load is firstly studied. It shows that as the networks are more loaded, the link spectral efficiency reduces while the network spectral efficiency increases. Regarding the network energy efficiency, it will either firstly increase and then decrease or always increase when the network load gets higher. The optimal network load to maximize the network energy efficiency depends on the power consumption of base stations in DTX sleep mode. Based on the findings of the above study, the joint optimization of cell DTX and deep sleep to maximize the network energy efficiency is investigated. A scaling law of transmit power, which assures that the distribution of the received power remains unchanged as more base stations are switched into deep sleep, is proposed. Then the average resource utilization and overload probability of non-deep-sleep base stations are derived. Based on these results, the feasible range of the percentage of deep-sleep base stations is obtained. Finally, the optimal percentage of deep-sleep base stations to maximize the network energy efficiency while satisfying users’ QoS requirements is derived. Lastly, the service-layer resource provision of edge computing in mobile networks is optimized to improve the energy efficiency. With this work, the trade-offs on service latency and energy consumption between the computation and the communication subsystems are studied. It is shown that the load of the communication subsystem and that of the computation subsystem should be balanced. Increasing the resource of the highly loaded subsystem can significantly reduce the required resource of the other subsystem. An algorithm is proposed to find out the optimal processing speed and the optimal number of active base stations that minimizes the overall energy consumption while assuring the requirements on the mean service latency.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) has been proposed as a solution to reduce energy consumption of cellular networks. This paper investigates the impact of network traffic load on spectral and energy efficiency of cellular networks with DTX. The SINR distribution as a function of traffic load is derived firstly. Then sufficient condition for ignoring thermal noise and simplifying the SINR distribution is investigated. Based on the simplified SINR distribution, the network spectral and energy efficiency as functions of network traffic load are derived. It is shown that the network spectral efficiency increases monotonically in traffic load, while the optimal network energy efficiency depends on the ratio of the sleep-mode power consumption to the active-mode power consumption of base stations. If the ratio is larger than a certain threshold, the network energy efficiency increases monotonically with network traffic load and is maximized when the network is fully loaded. Otherwise, the network energy efficiency firstly increases and then decreases in network traffic load. The optimal load can be identified with a binary search algorithm. The power ratio threshold depends solely on the path loss exponent α, e.g. 56% for α = 4. All these analytic results are further validated by the numerical simulations.

Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Multi-Carrier NOMA Systems
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 5G cellular networks are expected to support heterogeneous services with the same level of energy dissipation as current cellular networks. As a key enabler of 5G [1], the energy efficiency performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is of paramount importance. In NOMA systems, the system performance, e.g., spectral efficiency and energy efficiency are largely affected by resource allocation, i.e., sub-carrier assignment and power allocation. This paper studies the joint sub-carrier assignment and power allocation for the downlink transmission of multi-carrier NOMA systems to maximize the system energy efficiency (SEE). We first formulate an energyefficiency maximization problem while assuring the connectivity requirements of all users. The original optimization problem is a mixed integer programming problem and is NP hard. In order to develop optimal solutions with low complexity, the formulated problem is decomposed into three sub-problems: sub-carrier assignment, power allocation across sub-carriers and power allocation among users sharing the same sub-carrier. Given subcarrier assignment, we first obtain the optimal power allocation among users on one sub-carrier and then the optimal power allocation across sub-carriers. To find the optimal sub-carrier assignment, a greedy search solution based on the intrinsic structure of the transmitted power is proposed to minimize the overall required power to support the connectivity requirements of all users. Numerical simulations are implemented to validate the analytical findings. The results show that our proposed algorithms achieve better system energy efficiency and lower user blocking rate than the state-of-the-art solutions in the literature.

- As a main enabler for the next generation (5G) cellular networks, network densification faces challenges in intercell interference and energy consumption. Cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) can be employed to reduce both energy consumption of base stations (BSs) and inter-cell interference. In this paper we study the control problem of cell DTX in dense small cell networks (DSCNs). We firstly formulate the network energy efficiency optimization problem. Then a centralized heuristic DTX control algorithm is presented. In order to address the issues of complexity and scalability of the centralized solution, an interference-aware distributed DTX control algorithm is proposed. Discussions on algorithm complexity and implementation are provided. The proposed algorithms are evaluated with numerical simulations. Results show that at high load region, the proposed algorithms can not only enhance network capacity by reducing inter-cell interference by up to 60% but also increase network energy efficiency by switching BSs into micro-sleep mode by 67%.

- When both base station (BS) deep-sleep and discontinuous transmission (DTX) are applied to improve network energy efficiency (EE), switching BS into deep-sleep mode would increase the load of remaining active BSs and thereby reduce their energy savings via DTX. This paper studies the optimal BS operation strategy when both deep-sleep and DTX are employed. Queuing theory and stochastic geometry are jointly applied to model network performance with consideration of both traffic dynamics and channel quality variations. Analytical expressions of average BS load and network EE are derived. Both analytical and simulation results show that there is a trade-off between deep-sleep energy saving and DTX energy saving when the energy saving capacity of DTX is considerable. Analytical expression of the optimal percentage of deep-sleep BSs is provided.

- Traffic-aware base station (BS) sleeping is a promising approach to increase the energy efficiency (EE) of cellular networks. Both deep sleep and discontinuous transmission (DTX)can be applied to improve network EE. This paper studies the optimal BS operation when both deep sleep and DTX are employed. Queuing theory and stochastic geometry theory are jointly applied to model network performance considering both traffic dynamics and stochastic channel quality. We firstly propose a scaling law of transmit power that assures network coverage. Then, we characterize the resource utilization of active BSs when various percent-ages of BSs are switched into deep sleep, and analyze the overload probability of the remaining active BSs. Finally, we investigate the impact of BS deep sleep and DTX micro sleep on network EE. Both analytical and simulation results show that there is a trade-off between deep sleep and DTX micro sleep. Switching BSs into deep sleep would increase the load of the remaining active BSs and reduce their energy saving achieved with DTX. When the power consumption of BS in DTX micro-sleep mode is considerably low, switching BSs into deep sleep might increase the overall energy consumption, and it is not always the best practice to switch as many BSs into deep sleep as possible to maximize network EE.

- Mobile Edge Computing (a.k.a Fog computing) is recently proposed to provide computing service for delay-sensitive mobile applications. Despite various benefits, deploying edge servers in cellular networks would increase their energy consumption. In this paper, we investigate the provision of resources, including both communication and computation resources, of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) systems to improve their energy efficiency (EE). In a MEC system, both the communication subsystem, which allows mobile users to access Internet and offload their computing tasks, and the computation subsystem, which accomplishes the offloaded computing tasks, affect the service latency and consume energy. Modelling the whole system as tandem queues, we study the trade-offs between these two subsystems on energy consumption and service latency. Based on the analysis results, we propose an algorithm to determine the optimal provision of both communication and computation resources to minimize the overall energy consumption without sacrificing the performance on service latency. Numerical results are provided to validate our analytical findings.

- As a key enabler of Internet of things, cellular network based Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications have been growing rapidly in recent years, being used in a wide range of services such as security, metering, health, remote control, tracking, and so on. A critical issue in M2M communications is the energy efficiency as typically the machine devices are powered by batteries of low capacity and thus, it is the key to optimize their consumption. To achieve higher energy efficiency, this paper proposes the adoption of contexts through a generic context-aware framework for M2M communications. With this framework, machine devices dynamically adapt their settings depending on a series of characteristics such as data reporting mode, QoS features, and network conditions to achieve higher energy efficiency and extend the operating lifetime of M2M networks. Simulation results are provided for four commonly used M2M applications. The results demonstrate considerable energy savings and operating lifetime extension on the network when the proposed context-aware framework is used. Thus, it is shown that contexts play an important role on the energy efficiency of M2M systems.

- Growing attention has been paid to renewable-or hybrid-energy-powered heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In this paper, focusing on backhaul-aware joint user association and resource allocation for this type of HetNets, we formulate an online optimization problem to maximize the network utility reflecting proportional fairness. Since user association and resource allocation are tightly coupled not only on resource consumption of the base stations (BSs) but in the constraints of their available energy and backhaul as well, the closed-form solution is quite difficult to obtain. Thus, we solve the problem distributively by employing certain decomposition methods. Specifically, at first, by adopting the primal decomposition method, we decompose the original problem into a lower level resource-allocation problem for each BS and a higher level user-association problem. For the optimal resource allocation, we prove that a BS either assigns equal normalized resources or provides an equal long-term service rate to its served users. Then, the user-association problem is solved by the Lagrange dual decomposition method, and a completely distributed algorithm is developed. Moreover, applying results of the subgradient method, we demonstrate the convergence of the proposed distributed algorithm. Furthermore, to efficiently and reliably apply the proposed algorithm to the future wireless networks with an extremely dense BS deployment, we design a virtual user association and resource allocation scheme based on the software-defined networking architecture. Finally, numerical results validate the convergence of the proposed algorithm and the significant improvement on network utility, load balancing, and user fairness.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter gives a comprehensive introduction to state-of-the-art energy-efficient communications, focusing on the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of wireless communication systems. The PHY layer consists of RF circuits, modulation, power control, and channel coding units, and so on and delivers data transmission as reliably as possible. The MAC layer ensures network-wide efficient resource management while maintaining quality of service (QoS) requirements of individual users. As wireless is a shared communication medium, with wireless communications, device energy consumption is not only affected by the designs of different layers of the point-to-point communicating link but also by the interactions of all links in the network. A system approach is therefore necessary for energy-efficient wireless communications system design. The focus of this chapter is on wireless system design, analysis, and optimization emphasizing energy efficiency enhancement while meeting given performance requirements. Since the design of all protocol layers impact energy consumption, this chapter introduces cross-layer energy-efficient techniques to reduce redundant message transfers and the associated energy consumption. Cross-layer techniques exploit interactions between different layers to significantly improve energy efficiency and adaptability to service, traffic, and environment dynamics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we develop an uplink pilot and downlink link adaptation approach to improve the energy efficiency (EE) of mobile users in time division duplexing (TDD) multi-user multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO) systems. Assuming reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels, the downlink transmission is based on uplink channel estimation. While more uplink pilot power ensures more accurate channel estimation and better downlink performance, it incurs higher energy consumption of mobile users. This paper reveals the relationship and tradeoff among pilot power, channel estimation, and downlink link adaptation that achieves the highest energy efficiency for mobile users. We show that the energy efficiency of different users can be decoupled because the downlink average throughput of each user is independent of the pilot powers of other users and energy-efficient design can be done on a per-user basis. Based on the analysis, we propose an uplink pilot and downlink link adaptation algorithm to improve the EE of mobile users. Simulation results are finally provided to demonstrate the significant gain in energy efficiency for mobile users.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We discuss the globally optimal energy-efficient design of a 2D relay network. Different from the existing routing protocols on energy saving, which finds the minimal energy route for a given data rate, the proposed algorithm jointly optimizes routing and data rate to maximize energy efficiency (EE) defined as the achievable data rate per power consumption. We propose a low-complexity algorithm to circumvent the huge complexity of the exhaustive search for the network EE maximization and prove its global optimality. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is implemented in a distributed fashion because each relay needs to send its routing information only to the relays in its adjacent tiers, which significantly reduces the signaling overhead of the centralized implementation. Our analysis on the worst-case complexity in a fading channel shows that the complexity of the proposed algorithm increases linearly while that of the exhaustive search increases exponentially as the tier index increases. Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing routing protocols on energy saving and achieves the globally optimal network EE at a significantly lower complexity than the exhaustive search.

- Multi-user MIMO is the enabling technology forLTE-Advanced systems to meet IMT-Advanced targets. The gainof multi-user MIMO is achieved partially through advanced usergrouping,user-scheduling, and precoding. Traditionally, multiuserMIMO scheduling focuses solely on spectral-efficiency [1].That is, the scheduler will strike to balance the cell-edge userspectral-efficiency as well as the cell-average spectral-efficiency.Similar to spectral-efficiency, energy-efficiency is becoming increasinglyimportant for wireless communications. The energyefficiency is measured by a classical measure, “throughput perJoule”, while both RF transmit power and device electronic circuitpower consumptions are considered. In this paper, an energyefficientproportional-fair scheduling is proposed for downlinkmulti-user MIMO systems. To specific, the scheduling algorithmis proposed to balance cell-edge energy-efficiency and the cellaverageenergy-efficiency. The energy-efficient proportional-fairmetric is defined and the optimal power allocation maximizingthe performance measure is identified. System level evaluationsuggests that multi-user MIMO could improve the energyefficiencyof a wireless communication system significantly.

- In this paper, we solve a fundamental problem: how to use distributed random access to achieve the performance of centralized schedulers. We consider wireless networks with arbitrary topologies and spatial traffic distributions, where users can receive traffic from or send traffic to different users and different communication links may interfere with each other. The channels are assumed heterogeneous, and the random channel gains of different links may have different distributions. To resolve the network contention in a distributed way, each frame is divided into contention and transmission periods. The contention period is used to resolve conflicts, while the transmission period is used to send payload in collision-free scenarios. We design a multistage channel-aware Aloha scheme for the contention period to enable users with relatively better channel states to have higher probabilities of contention success while assuring fairness among all users. We show analytically that the proposed scheme completely resolves network contention and achieves throughput close to that of centralized schedulers. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is robust to any uncertainty in channel estimation. Simulation results demonstrate that it significantly improves network performance while maintaining fairness among different users. The proposed random access approach can be applied to different wireless networks, such as cellular, sensor, and mobile ad hoc networks, to improve quality of service.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we investigate energy-efficient clustering and medium access control (MAC) for cellular-based M2M networks to minimize device energy consumption and prolong network battery lifetime. First, we present an accurate energy consumption model that considers both static and dynamic energy consumptions, and utilize this model to derive the network lifetime. Second, we find the cluster size to maximize the network lifetime and develop an energy-efficient cluster-head selection scheme.Furthermore, we find feasible regions where clustering is beneficial in enhancing network lifetime. We further investigate communications protocols for both intra- and inter-cluster communications. While inter-cluster communications use conventional cellular access schemes, we develop an energy-efficient and load-adaptive multiple access scheme, called n-phase CSMA/CA, which provides a tunable tradeoff between energy efficiency, delay, and spectral efficiency of the network. The simulation results show that the proposed clustering, cluster-head selection, and communications protocol design outperform the others in energy saving and significantly prolong the lifetimes of both individual nodes and the whole M2M network.

- This paper addresses optimal energy-efficient design for uplink (UL) MU-MIMO in a single cell environment. The energy efficiency is measured by throughput per Joule, while both RF transmission power and device electronic circuit power are considered. We define the energy efficiency (EE) capacity for UL MU-MIMO and study the power allocation that achieves this capacity. First we assume all users consume a fixed amount of circuit power and show that user antennas should be used only when the corresponding spatial channels are sufficiently good and using them improves the overall network EE. Mobile devices may have improved circuit management capability and turn off circuit operations when some antennas are not used to reduce circuit power consumption. Therefore we further study energy-efficient UL MU-MIMO with improved circuit management and show that some antennas should not be used even when their channel states are good because turning them on consumes too much circuit power. Based on theoretical analysis, we further develop low-complexity yet globally optimal energy-efficient power allocation algorithms that converge to the optimum exponentially. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the significant gain in network energy efficiency.

- Energy efficiency is important for mobile devices because battery technology development has not kept up with the growing demand of ubiquitous broadband communications. This paper addresses optimal energy-efficient design for uplink (UL) MU-MIMO in a single cell environment. We assume mobile devices have dynamic antenna management capability and can turn off circuit operations when some antennas are not used to save power. We show that some antennas should not be used even when their channel states are good because turning them on consumes too much circuit power. This indicates a single antenna system could perform better than a multi-antenna system in terms of energy efficiency. Based on theoretical analysis, we further develop low-complexity yet globally optimal algorithms that converge to the optimum exponentially.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Energy-efficient wireless communication is very important for battery-constrained mobile devices. For mobile devices in a cellular system, uplink power consumption dominates the wireless power budget because of RF power requirements for reliable transmission over long distances. Our previous work in this area focused on optimizing energy efficiency by maximizing the instantaneous bits-per-Joule metric through iterative approaches, which resulted in significant energy savings for uplink cellular OFDMA transmissions. In this paper, we develop energy efficient schemes with significantly lower complexity when compared to iterative approaches, by considering time-averaged bits-per-Joule metrics. We consider an uplink OFDMA system where multiple users communicate to a central scheduler over frequency-selective channels with high energy efficiency. The scheduler allocates the system bandwidth among all users to optimize energy efficiency across the whole network. Using time-averaged metrics, we derive energy optimal techniques in "closed forms" for per-user link adaptation and resource scheduling across users. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes not only have low complexity but also perform close to the globally optimum solutions obtained through exhaustive search.

Near-optimal practical power control schemes for D2D communications in cellular networks

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Device-to-device (D2D) communication has the potential of increasing the system capacity, energy efficiency and achievable peak rates while reducing the end-to-end latency. To realize these gains, recent works have proposed resource allocation (RA) and power control (PC) approaches that show near optimal performance in terms of spectral or energy efficiency. However, the proposed schemes either consider a single cell environment or assume instantaneous channel state information (CSI) and/or rely on iterative algorithms that require excessive inter-node message exchange and suffer from slow convergence time. For D2D user equipment (UE), we propose a distributed utility optimization based PC scheme that relies on locally available measurement data and is made practical by constraining the number of iterations and the interference caused to the cellular receiver, while legacy UEs employ the standard Long Term Evolution (LTE) PC. We investigate the performance of the proposed PC scheme when combined with two RA schemes that differ in terms of the required channel state information. We find that when properly tuned, this practical PC scheme combined with a RA algorithm that requires limited channel knowledge, not only shows near optimal performance, but it also constraints the impact of D2D communications on the cellular layer.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper considers a scenario in which multiple device-to-device (D2D) users can reuse the uplink resources of a cellular network to transmit directly to their corresponding receivers. The aggregated interference from the D2D users is limited by applying a threshold on the allowable interference in the base station. The problem is solved under two types of constraints, namely, the peak interference and average interference constraints. In the former, we assume that full channel state information (CSI) is available at the base station, and we optimize the allowable transmit power for the D2D users so that the number of coexisting D2D communications is maximized. We further define a quality-of-service constraint for the D2D users. In practice, however, it is difficult to have complete CSI at the base station as it imposes heavy signaling overhead. Therefore, in the latter scenario, we assume that no knowledge about the location of D2D users and their CSI are available at the base station. This approach does not impose any signaling overhead. Our results show that even with no CSI knowledge, we are able to improve the system performance in terms of throughput by allowing coexisting D2D communications while satisfying the cellular user's constraints.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study the problem of interference management for device-to-device (D2D) communications where multiple D2D users may coexist with one cellular user. The problem is to optimize the transmit power levels of D2D users to maximize the cell throughput while preserving the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) performance for the cellular user. This is the so-called multi rate power control problem. We investigate the problem under two assumptions, the availability of the instantaneous or average channel state information (CSI) at the base station. In the first case, D2D transmit power levels adapt to fast fading, whereas in the second case, they only adapt to slow fading. In the latter assumption, the cellular user has a maximum outage probability requirement. With numerical results, we study the trade-off between the signaling overhead, that is frequent CSI feedbacks, and the overall system performance, that is the maximum achievable cell capacity, for D2D communications underlying cellular networks.

- Network-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communications allow two devices to communicate with each other directly using one bidirectional link. Exchange of signaling messages with the base station allows the establishment of D2D communications. The discovery of D2D pairs of devices is an essential part of D2D communications as it provides the base station with all the information necessary to evaluate the possibility of D2D communication for the pair. This paper proposes two discovery algorithms, the centralized fully network-dependent and the semi centralized semi-network-dependent algorithms to identify D2D pairs through the exchange of a number of signaling messages. A comparison between those algorithms is performed with respect to delay and signaling overhead. Simulation results show that the second discovery algorithm is faster and more efficient than the first one in discovering new D2D pairs.

Energy Efficiency in Network Level : Definition, Measurement and Prediction
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper, network level energy efficiency assessment issues are described in wireless access networks. High level definitions of energy efficiency are introduced and existing heterogeneous metrics proposed in the literature in order to quantify the energy savings are overviewed. The weaknesses of the current metrics in order to evaluate NLEE have been discussed in detail and more elaborate metric forms have been suggested. Then, a NLEE evaluation methodology is proposed to calculate the suggested indicator, and unlike GSMA method it is based on network segmentation, direct measuring in both network and terminal side, and prediction. We believe that network modularization and frequent observation are the only ways in order to understand the reasoning behind the obtained NLEE metric and propose solutions for the improvement. However, it comes with the increased complexity and challenges to be resolved. We present a summary of the most important difficulties, our suggestions and open questions in order to answer “How to accurately assess the NLEE in wireless access network”.

- Proximity-based applications are becoming fast growing markets suggesting that device-to-device (D2D) communications is becoming an essential part of the future mobile data networks. We propose scalable admission and power control methods for D2D communications underlay cellular networks to increase the reuse of frequency resources and thus network capacity while maintaining QoS to all users. In practice, as D2D communications will generate a new layer of interference, it is essential to take D2D interference into account in inter-cell interference coordination for multi-cell communications. The aim of the proposed methods is to maximize the number of D2D links under QoS constraints, therefore maximizing network frequency reuse in a practical 5G multi-cell environment. Different schemes are designed for applications that have different levels of complexity and availability of channel state information. Numerical results show that by using D2D and the proposed multi-cell interference coordination and low power transmission method, the network spectral efficiency can be increased by as much as ten times, while low outage probability can be assured to provide QoS for all users.

- Proximity based applications are becoming fastgrowing markets suggesting that Device-to-Device (D2D) communicationsis going to be an essential part of future cellularnetworks, thus studying the scalability of the system is ofparamount importance. This paper focuses on the problem ofscalability defined as finding the maximum number of D2D linksthat can share the same resources with cellular user equipments(CUEs) while assuring quality-of-service (QoS) to all users incellular networks of any size. To solve this problem a carefuldesign of interference coordination schemes is needed, thus wepresent two solutions namely full channel state information(CSI) optimal (F-CSIOp) scheme and partial CSI distributed(P-CSID) scheme. The first solution is based on an optimizationproblem that uses full CSI to maximize the number of D2Dlinks while providing QoS to all users. However implementingthis solution in real systems is infeasible due to high complexityand signaling overhead, thus we present the later solution basedon a low complexity distributed algorithm that uses limitedCSI. The results show that the P-CSID scheme is able to offerhigh spectrum efficiency and good scalability while assuring lowoutage probability to provide QoS for all users.

A Non-cooperative Scheme for SFR-Based Power Control in LTE Networks

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We propose a non-cooperative power allocation scheme for cellular systems using soft frequency reuse and in the power control, each user selfishly maximizes its utility.To find the tradeoff between QoS satisfaction and energy consumption, we design a utility function that considers both QoS requirements and the cost. We then show there exists a Nash equilibrium and provide conditions to assure its uniqueness. This scheme has limited signaling overhead and only pricing information needs to be exchanged among cells. Simulation results show that this scheme improves throughput and coverage performance compared with conventional SFR schemes.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, an energy-efficient non-cooperative game approach is proposed for channel-aware distributed medium access control (EN-CDMAC) in slotted-Aloha systems, where users act selfishly to improve their own utilities. To resolve the network contention in a distributed manner, the capture model is employed and a pricing-based non-cooperative game scheme is designed to enable selfish users effectively achieve multi-user diversity by adjusting their equilibrium thresholds while guaranteeing fairness by the pricing mechanism. Then the existence of Nash equilibrium is proved, and the necessary and sufficient condition is derived to ensure its uniqueness. Furthermore, the equilibrium stability is investigated with stochastic process theory. Simulation results show that the proposed approach significantly improves the network throughput and delay performance without sacrificing energy efficiency compared to the conventional slotted-Aloha scheme. In particular, the proposed approach is more applicable for high-load systems.
