An Energy Efficient Scheme for WPCN-NOMA Based Device-to-Device Communication

The capability of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) for minimizing interference at the receiver using successive interference cancellation (SIC) makes it as a promising solution for 5G mobile communication. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a part of the 5G network which provides frequency reuse in cellular networks and provides a better quality of service (QoS) to co-channel users. In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation and time scheduling algorithms for a NOMA based D2D communication system. In addition, to overcome the problem of energy at D2D transmitter and receivers, wireless powered communication network (WPCN) is used. Considering these issues, the objective of the proposed scheme is to maintain energy efficient communication among D2D transmitters and receivers without compromising energy efficiency (EE) of cellular users. To solve the fractional form of an optimization problem, we employ the Dinkelbach method. A many-to-many matching game approach is used for channel allocation and successive convex approximation for low complexity (SCALE) is used to control the power of the D2D transmitter. The simulation results demonstrate that by maximizing the EE and optimizing the time and transmission power of D2D groups, the energy efficiency of the network can be significantly improved in comparison to the other competitive schemes in the existing literature.

Adaptive De-Coupling and Multi-BS Association in Heterogeneous Networks

This paper proposes a novel method for maximizing the spatial frequency reuse in cellular networks by exploiting the possibility to simultaneously associate each user to multiple base-stations (BSs). To this end, the proposed technique presents a criterion for determining when a user should be associated with one or more BSs and whether the uplink and downlink should be decoupled, based on minimizing the average interference power across the network. To minimize the effect of interference that may occur due to increasing the spatial frequency reuse, the proposed association methods are integrated with an overlap checking scheme to insure that the resources are orthogonalized between the interfering BSs and user equipments. The results show that significant performance improvements can be attained by the proposed scheme in comparison with other benchmark techniques.

A Generic Mathematical Model Based on Fuzzy Set Theory for Frequency Reuse in Cellular Networks

Frequency reuse (FR) has been widely deployed to achieve increased throughput and interference mitigation. Different FR schemes can prove to be efficient under different conditions and parameters. This paper formulates a generic mathematical model which can be used to obtain an FR scheme that can be tailored according to our requirements. The paper proposes a fuzzy set theory based generic mathematical model for deriving various Soft Fractional FR (SFFR) schemes. The derived schemes are evaluated using various parameters such as average throughput, spectral and power efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, the use of fuzzy set theory for deriving different SFFR schemes is the first effort that can be found in the literature. The analysis provided in the paper discovers an optimal SFFR scheme which provides higher spectral efficiency and throughput. Our proposed scheme, at FR =1.35, improves the power efficiency (8.68 Watts/(bps/Hz)) by staggering 21% and 57% as compared to FR=1 (11 Watts/(bps/Hz)) and FR=3 (20 Watts/(bps/Hz)), respectively.

Performance Analysis of a Two-Way Relay Network with Multiple Interferers

SUMMARY This paper analyzes the performance of a two-way relay network experiencing co-channel interference from multiple interferers due to aggressive frequency reuse in cellular networks. We discuss two different scenarios: Outages are declared individually for each user (individual outage) and an outage is declared simultaneously for all users (common outage). We derive the closed-form expressions for the individual and common outage probabilities of the two-way relay network with multiple interferers. The validity of our analytical results is verified by a comparison with simulation results. It is shown that the analytical results perfectly match the simulation results of the individual and common outage probabilities. Also, it is shown that the individual and common outage probabilities increase as the number of interferers increases.
