In this paper, firstly presented a geometrically based statistical channel model with scatterers that are with inverted parabolic spatial distribution around mobile station (MS) within a circle wherein the base station (BS) and MS are included. This paper presented a technique to simply derive PDFs of AOA, TOA and Doppler spectra to characterize the outdoor macrocell and microcell wireless environments by employing various distances between BS and MS, or different size of circular region. Employing this channel model, we analyze the impacts of a directional antenna with the main-lobe width at BS on the fading and the Doppler spectra.

In multi-cell cooperative MIMO systems, base station (BS) can exchange and utilize channel state informations (CSI) of adjacent cell users to manage co-channel interference. Users quantize the CSIs of desired channel and interference channels using finite-rate feedback links, then BS can generate cooperative block diagonalization (BD) precoding matrices using the obtained quantized CSI at transmitter to supress co-channel interference. In this paper, a novel adaptive bit allocation scheme is proposed to minimize the rate loss due to imperfect CSI. We derive the closed-form expression of rate loss caused by both channel delay and limited feedback. Based on the derived rate loss expression, the proposed scheme can adaptively allocate more bits to quantize the better channels with smaller delays and fewer bits to worse channels with larger delays. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme yields higher performance than other allocation schemes.

Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission is a promising technique to improve both cell average and cell edge throughput for Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A). For CoMP-JT (Joint Transmission) in heterogeneous scenario, if JT users are firstly scheduled, other non-JT users will not be allocated sufficient resources, i.e., scheduling relevancy exists in the users under different cells in the same coordination cluster. However, the CoMP system throughput will decline remarkably, if the impact of scheduling relevancy is not considered. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel scheduling scheme for CoMP in heterogeneous scenario. The principles of the proposed scheme include two aspects. Firstly, this scheme gives priority to user fairness, based on an extended proportional fairness (PF) scheduling algorithm. Secondly, the throughput of the coordination cluster should be maintained at a high level. By taking the non-CoMP system as a baseline, the proposed scheme is evaluated by comparing to random PF (RPF) and orthogonal PF (OPF) scheme. System-level simulation results indicate that, the proposed scheme can achieve considerable performance gain in both cell average and cell edge throughput.

Coordinated multiple point transmission/reception (CoMP) has been investigated recently as a promising technology to increase the cell-edge user performance of LTE-Advanced, and channel estimation is a crucial technology for CoMP systems. In this paper, we consider a reduced-complexity Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) channel estimator for CoMP systems. The estimator uses Space Alternating Generalized-EM (SAGE) algorithm to avoid the inverse operation of the joint MMSE estimator. In the proposed scheme, the Base Stations (BSs) in the CoMP system estimate the channels of all the coordinated users serially and iteratively. We derive the SAGE-based estimators and analyze complexity. Simulation results verify that the performance of the proposed algorithm is close to the joint MMSE estimation algorithm while reducing the complexity greatly.

A jointly optimal sensing-transmission time duration and power allocation scheme for a cooperative relay network is developed by maximizing the network energy efficiency. In particular, observing that the spectrum sensing and data transmission duration lies within a strict interval, the jointly optimal solutions of sensing-transmission duration and power allocation are obtained by sequential optimization. The superiority of the proposed scheme in relay-assisted transmission mode over non-relay transmission mode in terms of energy-efficiency has been verified by quantitative simulation results.

In this paper, a new l1-graph regularized semi-supervised manifold learning (LRSML) method is proposed for indoor localization. Due to noise corruption and non-linearity of received signal strength (RSS), traditional approaches always fail to deliver accurate positioning results. The l1-graph is constructed by sparse representation of each sample with respect to remaining samples. Noise factor is considered in the construction process of l1-graph, leading to more robustness compared to traditional k-nearest-neighbor graph (KNN-graph). The KNN-graph construction is supervised, while the l1-graph is assumed to be unsupervised without harnessing any data label information and uncovers the underlying sparse relationship of each data. Combining KNN-graph and l1-graph, both labeled and unlabeled information are utilized, so the LRSML method has the potential to convey more discriminative information compared to conventional methods. To overcome the non-linearity of RSS, kernel-based manifold learning method (K-LRSML) is employed through mapping the original signal data to a higher dimension Hilbert space. The efficiency and superiority of LRSML over current state of art methods are verified with extensive experiments on real data.

In this paper, the characteristics of clusters induced by a variety of propagation mechanisms in the link from the relay station (RS) to the mobile station (MS) are presented. Based on the results of high resolution channel parameter estimation, an automatic framework integrated with the manual intervention is utilized to perform the cluster identification and tracking. The power proportion and angular spread of clusters are investigated in both the line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. The measurement results indicate that the channel characteristics of clusters are different from the link from the base station to the MS due to the lower height of the RS antennas.

In this paper, we analyze performance of cooperative spectrum sensing under counting rules when exponential model is utilized to characterize the burst nature of primary user (PU) link. Our objective is to minimize the average error probability (AEP) so that the link utilization in the considered link achieves its maximum. We derive a closed-form expression of AEP as well as the probability of interference (PoI) by classifying cognitive transmission into six events. Then, we consider the minimization of AEP over counting rules under the constraint of interference. As the solution, we develop an efficient algorithm to evaluate the optimal fusion rule. Finally, we verify our analysis in numerical results.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have taken some measures to reduce intolerable inter-ISP peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic costs, so that user experiences of various P2P applications have been affected. The recently emerging Offline downloading service seeks to improve user experience by using dedicate servers to cache requested files and provide high-speed uploading. However, with rapid increase in user population, the server-side bandwidth resource of Offline downloading system is expected to be insufficient in the near future. We propose a novel complementary caching scheme with the goal of mitigating inter-ISP traffic, alleviating the load on servers of Internet applications and enhancing user experience. Both architecture and caching algorithm are presented in this paper. On the one hand, with full knowledge of P2P file sharing system and Offline downloading service, the infrastructure of complementary caching is designed to conveniently be deployed and work together with existing platforms. The co-operational mechanisms among different major components are also included. On the other hand, with in-depth understanding of traffic characteristics that are relevant to caching, we develop complementary caching algorithm with respect to the density of requests, the redundancy of file and file size. Since such relevant information can be real-time captured in our design, the proposed policy can be implemented to guide the storage and replacement of caching unities. Based on real-world traces over 3 months, we demonstrate that the complementary caching scheme is capable to achieve the “three-win” objective. That is, for P2P downloading, over 50% of traffic is redirected to cache; for Offline downloading, the average server-dependence of tasks drops from 0.71 to 0.32; for user experience, the average P2P transfer rate is increased by more than 50KB/s.

In Ad hoc wireless network, connectivity is a fundamental issue which restricts the design of system protocol. Based on the theory of stochastic geometry, a connectivity model focused on signal-to-interference (SIR) ratio is set up in presence of Nakagami-m fading and interference. The paper derives a close formula of connectivity probability with interference and Nakagami-m fading which is never obtained in previous works. Two-dimension shot-noise theory in stochastic geometry for interference is well applied. The formula is verified by simulation. The results show that the connectivity is affected by the scatter of users, wireless propagation environment, interference and so on.

With the rise and world wide deployment of cloud utilities, the principle of the cloud download is proposed to provide high-quality file content distribution by using dedicated servers as cloud cache to guarantee the data availability and enhance the data transfer rate. As the system scales up to a large population, how to design appropriate storage capacity of cloud cache is a key challenge for cloud download. In this paper, primary elements impacting on storage capacity are explored through deliberating in large-scale commercial cloud download system, i.e. general user usage pattern and available period. And based on statistical analysis of real-world traces, we formulate storage capacity related to these two elements, which is the original contribution different from all previous works. This model gives guidance of potential system policy design. Finally, the effectivity of this model is demonstrated by simulation results compared with empirical data of practical system.

One of the key issues for radio resources management is network selection strategy in heterogeneous scenarios. In order to provide ubiquitous service, the paper puts forward a network selection algorithm based on multiple attribute decision making (MADM) and group decision making (GDM). Firstly, the proposed algorithm acquires attribute weights’ vectors of the subjective and objective decision makers based on MADM, and then the two attribute weights’ vectors are synthesized to be a new attribute weights’ vector by using GDM. Considering that the results of GDM should be reasonable and convincible, the criterion of consistency is adopted for judging the compatibility of group judgments. More specifically, the algorithm takes into account not only objective attributes of networks but also the preference of subscribers and traffic class. Hence it guarantees that the subscribers can not select the networks with poor performance depending on their preference. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the handoff number and provide subscribers with satisfactory quality of service (QoS).

With the broad implementations of the electronic business and government applications, robust system security and strong privacy protection have become essential requirements for remote user authentication schemes. Recently, Chen et al. showed that Wang et al.’s scheme is vulnerable to the user impersonation attack and parallel session attack, and proposed an enhanced version to overcome the identified security flaws. In this paper, however, we show that Chen et al.’s scheme still cannot achieve the claimed security goals and report its following problems: (1) It suffers from the offline password guessing attack, key compromise impersonation attack and known key attack; (2) It fails to provide forward secrecy; (3) It is not easily repairable. As our main contribution, a robust dynamic ID-based scheme based on non-tamper resistance assumption of the smart cards is presented to cope with the aforementioned defects, while preserving the merits of different related schemes. The analysis demonstrates that our scheme meets all the proposed criteria and eliminates several grave security threats that are difficult to be tackled at the same time in previous scholarship.

本文研究了一种新的JPEG码流软解码算法。采用2维分段自回归（PAR）模型对图像进行建模，根据DCT系数量化步长作为约束，将普通的JPEG解码过程转化为一个带约束的优化问题。PAR模型作为优化目标中的一个重要正则项，是该软解器的核心。考虑到PAR模型的参数只能从解码得到的有损图像中预测。 为了减少编码失真对模型参数预测精度的影响，我们提出一种双边带加权算法来对PAR模型参数进行自适应的总体最小二乘预测。大量的实验表明，该软解码器不但可以明显的提升JPEG图像的解码效果，并且在各个码率下都优于现有的针对JPEG解码图像的后处理方法。
