The Cost

In heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets), densification of small base stations (SBSs) in the macro base station (MBS) coverage region leads to improved network coverage and capacity. However, this improvement is at the cost of inter-cell interference (ICI) due to the high MBS transmit power. The situation deteriorates further when uniformly deployed wideband jammers (WBJs) to initiate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are present. With sufficient knowledge about the network parameters, WBJs produce substantial jammer interference (JI) by transmitting unwanted energy in the legitimate band. Such jamming attacks can cause significant JI in the UL communications of MBS edge users (M-EUs) due to i) low uplink (UL) transmit power of user equipment (UE) and ii) longer distances of M-EUs. As a result of ICI and JI, M-EUs are severely affected and go off the coverage due to a low received signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). Hence, to mitigate both ICI and JI, we use a proactive resource allocation scheme known as reverse frequency allocation (RFA). The results indicate that although ICI and JI significantly degrade network performance, RFA employment leads to improved SIR due to effective ICI and JI mitigation.

Inter Cell Interference

Intentional jammers (IJs) can be used by attackers for the launching of distributed denial-of-service attacks in 5G cellular networks. These adversaries are assumed to have adequate information about the network specifications, such as duration, transmit power and positions. With these assumptions, the IJs gain the ability to disrupt the legitimate communication of the network. Heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) can be considered a vital enabler for 5G cellular networks. Small base stations (SBSs) are deployed inside macro base station (MBS) to improve spectral efficiency and capacity. Due to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing assumption, HetNets’ performance is mainly limited by inter-cell interference (ICI). Additionally, there exist IJs-interference (IJs-I), which significantly degrades the network coverage depending on the IJs’ transmit power levels and their proximity with the target. The proposed work explores the uplink (UL) coverage performance of HetNets in the presence of both IJs-I and ICI. Moreover, to reduce the effects of ICI and IJs-I, reverse frequency allocation (RFA) is employed which is a proactive interference abating scheme. In RFA, different sub-bands of the available spectrum are used by MBS and SBS in alternate regions. The proposed setup is evaluated both analytically as well as with the help of simulation. The results demonstrate considerable UL coverage performance improvement by effectively mitigating IJs-I and ICI.

Edge computing, which sinks a large number of complex calculations into edge servers, can effectively meet the requirement of low latency and bandwidth efficiency and can be conducive to the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, a large number of edge servers mean a big cost, especially for the 5G scenario in IoV, because of the small coverage of 5G base stations. Fortunately, coherent beamforming (CB) technology enables fast and long-distance transmission, which gives us a possibility to reduce the number of 5G base stations without losing the whole network performance. In this paper, we try to adopt the CB technology on the IoV 5G scenario. We suppose we can arrange roadside nodes for helping transferring tasks of vehicles to the base station based on the CB technology. We first give the mathematical model and prove that it is a NP-hard model that cannot be solved directly. Therefore, we design a heuristic algorithm for an Iterative Coherent Beamforming Node Design (ICBND) algorithm to obtain the approximate optimal solution. Simulation results show that this algorithm can greatly reduce the cost of communication network infrastructure.

In this paper, we investigate the energy efficiency (EE) maximization in multi-cell multi-carrier non-orthogonal multiple access (MCMC-NOMA) networks. To achieve this goal, an optimization problem is formulated then the solution is divided into two parts. First, we investigate the inter-cell interference mitigation and then we propose an auction-based non-cooperative game for power allocation for base stations. Finally, to guarantee the rate requirements for users, power is allocated fairly to users. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has the best performance compared with the existing NOMA-based fractional transmit power allocation (FTPA) and the conventional orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA).

The Impact

In 5G ultradense heterogeneous networks, wireless backhaul, as one of the important base station (BS) resources that affect user services, has attracted more and more attention. However, a user would access to the BS which is the nearest for the user based on the conventional user association scheme, which constrains the network performance improvement due to the limited backhaul capacity. In this paper, using backhaul-aware user association scheme, semiclosed expressions of network performance metrics are derived in ultradense heterogeneous networks, including coverage probability, rate coverage, and network delay. Specifically, all possible access and backhaul links within the user connectable range of BSs and anchor base stations (A-BSs) are considered to minimize the analytical results of outage probability. The outage for the user occurs only when the access link or backhaul link which forms the link combination with the optimal performance is failure. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis and numerical results evaluate the impact of the fraction of A-BSs and the BS-to-user density ratio on network performance metric to seek for a more reasonable deployment of BSs in the practical scenario. The simulation results show that the coverage probability of backhaul-aware user association scheme is improved significantly by about 2× compared to that of the conventional user association scheme when backhaul is constrained.

4G Mobile Communication

For the coexistence and increasing interference of satellite-terrestrial network and terrestrial wireless network, we analyze a typical scenario where the GEO satellite-terrestrial network and the 4G mobile communication network coexist heterogeneously. Besides, a multi-user cognitive system model that secondary satellite terminals interfere the primary MIMO 4G base stations is also proposed, with whose general signal processing is deduced. Meanwhile, DBF technology in 4G base station system is adopted to minimize the cognitive interference caused by multi-antennas and multi-users. And we propose an OBW-FAI. Weight vector is only related to the azimuth of the interferences, thus the proposed algorithm does not need real-time and repeat calculations, and has small complexity. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify that the proposed system and algorithm can effectively reduce interference between satellite-terrestrial network and terrestrial wireless network to a certain extent.

Heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) have emerged as the primary solution for explosive data traffic. However, an increase in the number of base stations (BSs) inevitably leads to an increase in energy consumption. Energy efficiency (EE) has become a focal point in HCNs. In this paper, we apply tools from stochastic geometry to investigate and optimize the energy efficiency (EE) for a two-tier HCN. The average achievable transmission rate and the total power consumption of all the BSs in a two-tier HCN is derived, and then the EE is formulated. In order to maximize EE, a one-dimensional optimization algorithm is used to optimize picocell BS density and transmit power. Based on this, an alternating optimization method aimed at maximizing EE is proposed to jointly optimize transmit power and density of picocell BSs. Simulation results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and demonstrate that the proposed joint optimization method can obviously improve EE.

Cell planning problem is one of the most important issues in mobile communication networks. To tackle the problem, one should address the location management issue because it significantly affects the cost of cell planning in mobile networks. The partition of location areas is developed to minimize the total costs of considering user location and search operation simultaneously in cellular networks, which has been shown to be NP-complete and is commonly solved by metaheuristics in previous works. In this paper, we propose novel cell planning methods for base stations using genetic algorithms with initialization, local search, and particular mechanisms of area and cell crossovers. Several simulations are conducted on various cell networks with previous, random and real configurations. The simulation results reveal that our schemes are superior to the considered algorithms.

Ip Communication

Similar to wired communication, Mobile IP communication is susceptible to various kinds of attacks. Of these attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attack is considered as a great threat to mobile IP communication. The number of approaches hitherto proposed to prevent DoS attack in the area of mobile IP communication is much less compared to those for the wired domain and mobile ad hoc networks. In this work, the effects of Denial of Service attack on mobile IP communication are analyzed in detail. We propose to use packet filtering techniques that work in different domains and base stations of mobile IP communication to detect suspicious packets and to improve the performance. If any packet contains a spoofed IP address which is created by DoS attackers, the proposed scheme can detect this and then filter the suspected packet. The proposed system can mitigate the effect of Denial of Service (DoS) attack by applying three methods: (i) by filtering in the domain periphery router (ii) by filtering in the base station and (iii) by queue monitoring at the vulnerable points of base-station node. We evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme using the network simulator NS-2. The results indicate that the proposed scheme is able to minimize the effects of Denial of Service attacks and improve the performance of mobile IP communication.
