The skyrocketing growth in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has posed a huge traffic demand for fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond. In-band full-duplex (IBFD), which is theoretically expected to double the spectral efficiency of a half-duplex wireless channel and connect more devices, has been considered as a promising technology in order to accelerate the development of IoT. In order to exploit the full potential of IBFD, the key challenge is how to handle network interference (including self-interference, co-channel interference, and multiuser interference) more effectively. In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient user grouping method, where a base station (BS) serves strong downlink users and weak uplink users and vice versa in different frequency bands, mitigating severe network interference. First, we aim to maximize a minimum rate among all of the users subject to bandwidth and power constraints, which is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem. By leveraging the inner approximation framework, we develop a very efficient iterative algorithm for solving this problem, which guarantees at least a local optimal solution. The proposed iterative algorithm solves a simple convex program at each iteration, which can be further cast to a conic quadratic program. We then formulate the optimization problem of sum throughput maximization, which can be solved by the proposed algorithm after some slight modifications. Extensive numerical results are provided to show not only the benefit of using full-duplex radio at BS, but also the advantage of the proposed user grouping method.

The skyrocketing growth in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices will certainly pose a huge traffic demand for fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond. In-band full-duplex (IBFD), which is theoretically expected to double the spectral efficiency of a half-duplex (HD) wireless channel and to connect more devices, has been considered as a promising technology to accelerate the development of IoT. To exploit the full potential of IBFD, the key challenge is how to handle network interference (including self-interference, co-channel interference and multiuser interference) more effectively. In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient user grouping method, where a base station (BS) serves strong downlink users and weak uplink users and vice versa in different frequency bands, mitigating severe network interference. We aim to maximize a minimum rate among all users subject to bandwidth and power constraints, which is formulated as a highly nonconvex optimization problem. By leveraging inner approximation framework, we develop a very efficient iterative algorithm to solve this problem, which guarantees at least a local optimal solution. Numerical results are provided to show not only the benefit of using full-duplex raido at BS, but also the advantage of the proposed user grouping method.

In a full-duplex (FD) cellular network, a base station transmits data to the downlink (DL) user and receives data from uplink (UL) users at the same time; thereby the interference from UL users to DL users occurs. One of the possible solutions to reduce this interuser interference in the FD cellular network is user pairing, which pairs a DL user with a UL user so that they use the same radio resource at the same time. In this paper, we consider a user pairing problem to minimize outage probability and formulate it as a nonconvex optimization problem. As a solution, we design a low-complexity user pairing algorithm, which first controls the UL transmit power to minimize the interuser interference and then allows the DL user having a worse signal quality to choose first its UL user giving less interference to minimize the outage probability. Then, we perform theoretical outage analysis of the FD cellular network on the basis of stochastic geometry and analyze the performance of the user pairing algorithm. Results show that the proposed user pairing significantly decreases the interuser interference and thus improves the DL outage performance while satisfying the requirement of UL signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, compared to the conventional HD mode and a random pairing. We also reveal that there is a fundamental tradeoff between the DL outage and UL outage according to the user pairing strategy (e.g., throughput maximization or outage minimization) in the FD cellular network.

In a full duplexing (FD) wireless cellular network, a base station operates in FD mode, while the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) users operate in half duplexing (HD) mode. Thus, the downlink and uplink transmissions occur simultaneously so that interuser interference from a UL to a DL user occurs. In an FD network, the main challenge to minimize the interuser interference is user pairing, which determines a pair of DL and UL users who use the same radio resource simultaneously. We formulate a nonconvex optimization problem for user pairing to maximize the cell throughput. Then, we propose a heuristic user pairing algorithm with low complexity. This algorithm is designed such that the DL user having a better signal quality has higher priority to choose its paired UL user for throughput maximization. Thereafter, we conduct theoretical performance analysis of the FD cellular system based on stochastic geometry and analyze the impact of the user paring algorithm on the performance of the FD cellular system. Results show that the FD system that uses the proposed user pairing algorithm effectively reduces the interuser interference and approaches optimal performance. It also considerably outperforms the FD system using a random user pairing and almost doubles the conventional HD system in terms of cell throughput.

AbstractThe beam direction constrained problem is one of the important issues to be solved in millimeter-wave (mmWave) wideband communications when serving multi-user with squint beams whose direction varies with frequency. In this paper, we improve the number of simultaneous users served by collaboratively transmitting squint beams among multi-subarray at the base station (BS) end in a downlink multi-user line-of-sight (LoS) scenario, and reduce the interference among co-channel squint beams by a beam domain approach. The optimization problem of maximizing the number of users served in the system by transmitting beams in the two-dimensional beamspace of the planar antenna subarray is proposed and its suboptimal algorithm is given. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method and the performance of the proposed algorithm are verified by numerical simulations.

Vehicle to everything (V2X) has been deemed a promising technology due to its potential to achieve traffic safety and efficiency. This paper considers a V2X downlink system with a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system where the base station not only conveys data and energy to two types of wireless vehicular receivers, such as one hybrid power-splitting vehicular receiver, and multiple energy vehicular receivers, but also prevents information from being intercepted by the potential eavesdroppers (idle energy vehicular receivers). Both the base station and the energy vehicular receivers are equipped with multiple antennas, whereas the information vehicular receiver is equipped with a single antenna. In particular, the imperfect channel state information (CSI) and the practical nonlinear energy harvesting (EH) model are taken into account. The non-convex optimization problem is formulated to maximize the minimum harvested energy power among the energy vehicular receivers satisfying the lowest harvested energy power threshold at the information vehicular receiver and secure vehicular communication requirements. In light of the intractability of the optimization problem, the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique and variable substitutions are applied, and the optimal solution is proven to be tight. A number of results demonstrate that the proposed robust secure beamforming scheme has better performance than other schemes.

Energy efficiency and throughput are critical factors in the design routing protocols of WSNs. Many routing protocols based on clustering algorithm have been proposed. Current clustering algorithms often use cluster head selection and cluster formation to reduce energy consumption and maximize throughput in WSNs. In this chapter, the authors present a new routing protocol based on smart energy management and throughput maximization for clustered WSNs. The main objective of this protocol is to solve the constraint of closest sensors to the base station which consume relatively more energy in sensed information traffics, and also decrease workload on CHs. This approach divides network field into free area which contains the closest sensors to the base station that communicate directly with, and clustered area which contains the sensors that transmit data to the base station through cluster head. So due to the sensors that communicate directly to the base station, the load on cluster heads is decreased. Thus, the cluster heads consume less energy causing the increase of network lifetime.

<p>In this paper, downlink multiuser-MIMO system with large number of transmitting antennas at the base station and R user terminals each having single antenna is considered. According to this design, an access point communicates with large number of users in the Rayleigh fading scenario. Due to large number of users, it becomes difficult to accommodate all of them in the system simultaneously. So, a user grouping technique known as K-mean clustering is used, such that a group of users with similar conditions at that particular time are served together. While making groups, the interference is surely reduced but the number of users being served at a time also reduces. So, it is necessary to make out the balance such that the performance of the system is maintained while accommodating maximum number of users. So, optimum number of user groups needs to be formed. The results show that when groups are increased from two till four sum rate increases but when five groups are made the sum rate decreases to a point but, is still higher than two groups.</p><p> </p>
