We investigate in this paper the assessment of the energy efficiency of a wireless access network per service category. We consider five categories of service, two categories with high traffic: streaming and web browsing, and three other with lower traffic: download, voice and other minor data services. We introduce two scenarios, one where some services are mandatory, it is typically the case of...
Millimeter wave (mm-wave) system performance may be degraded if the operation mechanism is not properly designed, because mm-wave systems suffer severe path loss and very short coherence time. Thanks to the sparse channel model and directional transmission property, it is usually sufficient to use analog beam codebooks in beam training to estimate dominant channel components instead of complete instantaneous...
Enterprise Wi-Fi networks have been increasingly considering energy efficiency. In this paper, we present the Wi-Green project wherein we are investigating new techniques and innovative solutions that will allow the minimization of the energy consumption in Wi-Fi networks. In Wi-Green we will consider an enterprise network, in which there is equipment from different vendors, with different ages and...
Cooperative sensing enables secondary users to combine individual sensing results in order to attain sensing accuracies beyond those achieved by consumer RF devices. However, due to sensing costs, secondary users may prefer not to cooperate to the sensing task, leading to higher false alarm probability. In this paper, we study how information about the presence of cooperators affects the dynamics...
Caching of popular content on wireless nodes is recently proposed as a means to reduce congestion in the backbone of cellular networks and to improve Quality of Service. From a network point of view, the goal is to offload as many users as possible from the backbone network to the wireless caches while at the same time offering good service to cache-unrelated users. Aggressive offloading can lead...
At present, the well-known LISP-MN protocol for LISP mobility can only support end-host IP mobility, and need to implement lightweight version of LISP's ITR/ETR functionality on mobile nodes. Because of this, the LISP-MN protocol is hard for deployment, and lack of the support for network mobility. In this paper, we present LISP-HNM, a network-based end-host and network mobility support protocol in...
Communications using frequency bands in the millimeter-wave range can play a key role in future generations of mobile networks. By allowing large bandwidth allocations, high carrier frequencies will provide high data rates to support the ever-growing capacity demand. The prevailing challenge at high frequencies is the mitigation of large path loss and link blockage effects. Highly directional beams...
This invited paper considers a key next step in the design of radio architectures aimed at supporting low energy consumption in 5G heterogeneous radio access networks. State-of-the-art mobile radios usually require one RF transceiver per standard, each working separately at any given time. Software defined radios, while spanning a wide range of standards and frequency bands, also work separately at...
Energy optimization in cellular networks has been studied using different perspectives in the literature: sleep patterns, network interference, association of users and base stations, resource allocation of resources (bandwidth and power), etc. All these means have been discussed individually in previous works. However, none of the existing works has succeeded in proposing an exact mathematical model...
The rapid growth in the number and variety of connected devices requires 5G wireless systems to cope with a very heterogeneous traffic mix. As a consequence, the use of a fixed transmission time interval (TTI) during transmission is not necessarily the most efficacious method when heterogeneous traffic types need to be simultaneously serviced. This work analyzes the benefits of scheduling based on...
Active sharing of wireless infrastructure can be an effective approach to reduce costs and improve network profitability. However, schemes proposed so far neither guarantee network operators the autonomy to compete and differentiate themselves in various market segments, nor give infrastructure providers the economic resources to keep the network updated in terms of technology and capacity. In this...
We propose an intelligent proactive content caching scheme to reduce the energy consumption in wireless downlink. We consider an online social network (OSN) setting where new contents are generated over time, and remain relevant to the user for a random lifetime. Contents are downloaded to the user equipment (UE) through a time-varying wireless channel at an energy cost that depends on the channel...
Cloud-based Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is a promising architecture for future cellular networks, in which Baseband Units (BBUs) are placed at a centralized location, with capacity-constrained fronthaul connected to multiple distributed Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) that are far away from the BBUs. The centralization of signal processing enables the flexibility for coordinated multi-point transmission...
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication is a promising solution for providing high capacity wireless access to regions with high traffic demands. The main challenge of mmWave communications is the availability of directional line of sight links between access points and mobile devices which stochastically change due to high attenuation in mmWave propagation and severe blockage of mmWave links with...
