This paper introduces a cognitive radio scheme based on quality of experience (QoE). QoE involves the
mobile end user’s preferences. Considering QoE can lead to an improved cognitive radio resource
management strategy. The cognitive radio scheme aims to manage the traffic flow in dynamic systems; it is
a new way of thinking about dynamic resource management in cellular systems. The Use of the cognitive
radio techniques in cellular systems will improve the resource assignment in wireless communication. The
cognitive radio is a self-aware communication system that aims to use the resource assignment in an
efficient way. The proposed algorithm is very successful at handling the call-blocking rate based on QoS
and QoE.
A STUDY ON QUANTITATIVE PARAMETERS OF SPECTRUM HANDOFF IN COGNITIVE RADIO NET...ijwmn
The innovation of wireless technologies requires dynamic allocation of spectrum band in an efficient
manner. This has been achieved by Cognitive Radio (CR) networks which allow unlicensed users to make
use of free licensed spectrum, when the licensed users are kept away from that spectrum. The cognitive
radio makes decision, switching from primary user to secondary user and vice-versa, based on its built-in
interference engine. It allows secondary users to makes use of a channel based on its availability i.e. on the
absence of the primary user and they should vacate the channel once the primary user re-enters and
continue their communication on another available channel and this process in the cognitive radio is
known as spectrum mobility. The main objective of spectrum mobility is that, there is no interruption
caused due to the channel occupied by secondary users and maintains a good quality of service. In order to
achieve better spectrum mobility, it is mandatory to choose an effective spectrum handoff strategy with the
capability of predicting spectrum mobility. The handoff strategy with its parameters and its impact is an
important concept in spectrum mobility but fairly explored. In this paper an empirical study on quantitative
parameters involved in spectrum mobility prediction are discussed in detail. These parameters are studied
extensively because they play a vital role in the spectrum handoff process moreover the impact of these
parameters in various handoff methods can be used to predict the effectiveness of the system.

Positioning techniques have been a common objective since the early development of wireless networks. However, current positioning methods in cellular networks, for instance, are still primarily focused on the use of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which has several limitations, like high power drainage and failure in indoor scenarios. This study introduces a novel approach employing standard LTE signaling in order to provide high accuracy positioning estimation. The proposed technique is designed in analogy to the human sound localization system, eliminating the need of having information from three spatially diverse Base Stations (BSs). This is inspired by the perfect human 3D sound localization with two ears. A field study is carried out in a dense urban city to verify the accuracy of the proposed technique, with more than 20 thousand measurement samples collected. The achieved positioning accuracy is meeting the latest Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements in the planner dimension.
Spectrum Sensing using Cooperative Energy Detection Method for Cognitive RadioSaroj Dhakal
This document summarizes cooperative spectrum sensing using energy detection in cognitive radio networks. It discusses how cooperative sensing can improve detection performance by exploiting spatial diversity among cognitive radio users. The key points are:
1. Cooperative sensing allows cognitive radio users to share sensing information to make a combined decision that is more accurate than individual decisions. This mitigates issues like multipath fading and shadowing.
2. Energy detection is commonly used for cooperative sensing due to its simplicity. However, its performance depends on noise power uncertainty. Cooperative sensing addresses this by fusing observations from multiple spatially distributed users.
3. The document also discusses challenges in spectrum sensing like hardware requirements, hidden primary users, and detecting spread spectrum

A small vessel detection using a co-located multi-frequency FMCW MIMO radar IJECEIAES
Small vessels detection is a known issue due to its low radar cross section (RCS). An existing shore-based vessel tracking radar is for long-distance commercial vessels detection. Meanwhile, a vessel-mounted radar system known for its reliability has a limitation due to its single radar coverage. The paper presented a co-located frequency modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) maritime radar for small vessel detection utilising a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration. The radar behaviour is numerically simulated for detecting a Swerling 1 target which resembles small maritime’s vessels. The simulated MIMO configuration comprised two transmitting and receiving nodes. The proposal is to utilize a multi-frequency FMCW MIMO configuration in a maritime environment by applying the spectrum averaging (SA) to fuse MIMO received signals for range and velocity estimation. The analysis was summarised and displayed in terms of estimation error performance, probability of error and average error. The simulation outcomes an improvement of 2.2 dB for a static target, and 0.1 dB for a moving target, in resulting the 20% probability of range error with the MIMO setup. A moving vessel's effect was observed to degrade the range error estimation performance between 0.6 to 2.7 dB. Meanwhile, the proposed method was proven to improve the 20% probability of velocity error by 1.75 dB. The impact of multi-frequency MIMO was also observed to produce better average error performance.

evaluated the performance of dynamic channel allocation scheme based on carrier-to-noise interference

examined. This power is provided by the carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N). The channel search is conducted in
the repeated channel numbers of that cell based on the carrier-to-noise ratio so that this system provides
the low blocking probability and initiates large number of calls in dynamic channel allocation
environment. We have presented the momentous performance in blocking probability and forced

Resource Allocation in MIMO – OFDM Communication System under Signal Strength...Kumar Goud
Abstract: - Multiple Inputs and Multiple Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system have the potential to attain high capability on the propagation setting. The aim of this paper is that the adaptive resource allocation in MIMO-OFDM system uses the water filling formula. Water filling answer is enforced for allocating the ability so as to extend the data rate. The overall system capability is maximised subject to the constraints on total power, signal to noise quantitative relation, and proportionality. Channel is assumed as a flat attenuation channel and therefore the comparison is created for various 2×2, 2×3, 3×2 and 4×4 MIMO-OFDM systems and water filling formula with allotted power. Supported the capability contribution from the relaying terminal, a brand new parameter referred to as cooperation constant is introduced as an operate of the relaying sub channel. This parameter is employed to switch the target parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure. Fairness-oriented [Fading Channel] and throughput-oriented [Near finish Channel] algorithms square measure elite from the literature to check the planned technique. Each algorithms square measure changed to use the mean of cooperation constant within the objective parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure and shown to own a much better total turnout with none sacrifice.
Keywords - MIMO-OFDM; Water filling Algorithm; Subcarrier Resource Allocation
A SURVEY ON DYNAMIC SPECTRUM ACCESS TECHNIQUES IN COGNITIVE RADIOijngnjournal
Wireless networks are characterized by fixed spectrum policy. With increasing demands for wireless communication efficiently using the spectrum resources has become an essential issue. Cognitive radio is a form of wireless communication which is used to sense the spectrum and find the free spectrum. It is used by unlicensed users without causing interference to the licensed user. Cognitive radio with the dynamic spectrum access is key technology which provides the best solution by allowing a group of Secondary users to share the radio spectrum originally allocated to the primary users. Dynamically accessing the unused spectrum is known as dynamic spectrum access (DSA) which becomes a promising approach to increase
the efficiency of spectrum usage. In this paper, DSA models are discussed along with different methods such as game theory based method, a measurement-based model, network coded cognitive control channel, Markovian Queuing model, the Delay performance of threshold policies, fuzzy logic based method and spatio-temporal spectrum management model.
This document summarizes a research paper on performance analysis of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio using a common control channel. It discusses how cognitive radio can dynamically detect unused spectrum and allocate it to secondary users without interfering with primary users. The paper presents simulation results demonstrating the spectrum sharing process. It shows unused spectrum being allocated to new secondary users, and secondary users vacating the spectrum if a primary user needs it. The effects of noise and signal attenuation on the spectrum sharing are also analyzed through the simulation results.
This document discusses load balancing in cellular networks through paging techniques. It first provides background on cellular networks and hierarchical network structures. It then reviews existing work related to reducing paging costs, communication between users, location updates, and paging strategies for 3G mobile networks. The existing frequency reuse system is described as having problems like frequency reuse, flooding, delays, and interference. The proposed system introduces soft frequency reuse, which employs zone-based frequency reuse factors and power restrictions to reduce interference between cell areas. Load balancing of paging requests across network tiers can minimize delays and costs through techniques like hierarchical pipelining, sequential, and blanket paging schemes.
This document proposes a scheme to dynamically optimize cellular network utilization by encouraging subscribers to use services when certain cells are underutilized. It involves measuring cell load indicators like transmitted power and code usage. Cells with low load would be selected and subscribers in those cells would receive offers for reduced tariffs via cell broadcast to boost utilization. This aims to maximize revenue by increasing cellular yield without impacting highly loaded cells. Key performance indicators and an algorithm are presented for selecting candidate cells for this utilization enhancement scheme.
IRJET- Channel Allocation Strategy for Multiuser Cognitive and Location A...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a channel allocation strategy for a cognitive radio network that takes into account the locations of secondary users. The coverage area is divided into an overlay region near primary users and a hybrid region further away. Secondary users in the overlay region use an overlay spectrum access method, while those in the hybrid region use a sensing-free method. The paper formulates a resource allocation problem that optimizes power and channel allocation for secondary users based on their locations and spectrum access methods. It then proposes an adaptive algorithm that incorporates an interference violation test to determine resource allocation parameters and enable sensing-free access, while minimizing total power consumption subject to quality of service constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed location-aware and adaptive strategy in improving
Beamforming with per antenna power constraint and transmit antenna selection ...sipij
This document presents techniques for beamforming and antenna selection in cooperative distributed antenna systems using convex optimization. It formulates beamforming as a convex optimization problem to minimize total weighted transmit power while satisfying per-antenna power constraints and SINR thresholds. Antenna selection is also formulated as a convex problem to maximize channel capacity by selecting an optimal subset of antennas from available remote antenna units. Simulation results show that integrating beamforming into distributed antenna systems enhances performance and achieves a lower transmit power compared to non-beamforming techniques. The per-antenna power constraint also yields better performance than a sum power constraint.
Optimized Cluster Establishment and Cluster-Head Selection Approach in WSNIJCNCJournal
In recent years, limited resources of user products and energy-saving are recognized as the major challenges of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Clustering is a practical technique that can reduce all energy consumption and provide stability of workload that causes a larger difference in energy depletion among other nodes and cluster heads (CHs). In addition, clustering is the solution of energy-efficient for maximizing the network longevity and improvising energy efficiency. In this paper, a novel OCE-CHS (Optimized Cluster Establishment and Cluster-Head Selection) approach for sensor nodes is represented to improvise the packet success ratio and reduce the average energy-dissipation. The main contribution of this paper is categorized into two processes, first, the clustering algorithm is improvised that periodically chooses the optimal set of the CHs according to the speed of the average node and average-node energy. This is considerably distinguished from node-based clustering that utilizes a distributed clustering algorithm to choose CHs based on the speed of the current node and remaining node energy. Second, more than one factor is assumed for the detached node to join the optimal cluster. In the result section, we discuss our clustering protocols implementation of optimal CH-selection to evade the death of SNs, maximizing throughput, and further improvise the network lifetime by minimizing energy consumption.
Performance Analysis of Wireless Networks With MDQOSIJERA Editor
In Wireless/Mobile networks various kinds of encoding schemes were used for transmission of data over a bandwidth. The desired quality and generated traffic varies with the requirement with this bandwidth. A generic video telephony may require more than 40 kbps whereas a low motion video telephony may require about 25 kbps for data transmission. From the designing point of view these requirements demands for an alternative resource planning, especially for bandwidth allocation in wireless networks. In wireless network where bandwidth is a scare resource, the system may need to block incoming user if all of the bandwidth has been used to provide highest quality of service to existing users. However this bandwidth resource planning may be unacceptable for larger application. A degradable approach to multiple users can be made on bandwidth allocation to reduce the blocking probability without degrading the quality of service to existing users.
This work aims towards a realization of a wireless/mobile network using W-CDMA multi access technique supporting multilevel quality of services. The bandwidth allocation to multiple users is adjusted dynamically according to the required network condition so as to increase bandwidth utilization. The work analyze the performance deriving the degradation period ratio, mean degradation time and degradation state for the implemented wireless network.The proposed work is aim to implement on Matlab tool for its functional verification considering various mobility patterns
Performance evaluation of different spectrum sensing techniques for realistic...ijwmn
In this paper, the performance assessment of five different detection techniques from spectrum sensing
perspective in cognitive radio networks is proposed and implemented using the realistic implementation
oriented model (R-model) with signal processing operations. The performance assessment of the different
sensing techniques in the existence of unknown or imprecisely known impulsive noise levels is done by
considering the signal detection in cognitive radio networks under a non-parametric multisensory detection
scenario. The examination focuses on performance comparison of basic spectrum sensing mechanisms as,
energy detection (ED) and cyclostationary feature detection (CSFD) along with the eigenvalue-based
detection methods namely, Maximum-minimum eigenvalue detection (MMED), Roy’s largest Root Test
(RLRT) which requires knowledge of the noise variance and Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT)
which can be implemented as a test of the largest eigenvalues vs. Maximum-likelihood estimates a noise
variance. From simulation results it is observed that the detection performance of the GLRT method is
better than the other techniques in realistic implementation oriented model.
EFFECTS OF FILTERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DVB-T RECEIVERijwmn
Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) is an international standard for digital television
services. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the core of this technology. OFDM
based system like DVB-T can handle multipath fading and hence it can minimize Inter Symbol
Interference (ISI). DVB-T has some limitations too namely large dynamic range of the signals and
sensitivity to frequency error. In order to overcome these limitations DVB-T receivers should be optimally
designed. In this paper we address the issues related to optimal DVB-T receiver design. There of several
signal processing units in a DVB-T receiver. A low-pass filter is one of them. In this paper, we consider
some classic filters namely Butterworth, Chebyshev, and elliptic in the DVB-T receiver. The effects of
different filters on the performances of DVB-T receiver have been investigated and compared in this
paper under AWGN channel condition
ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR DELAY TOLERANT NETWORKS: SURVEY AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONijwmn
Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a promising technology that aims to provide efficient communication
between devices in a network with no guaranteed continuous connectivity. Most existing routing schemes
for DTNs exploit the advantage of message replication to achieve high message delivery rate. However,
these schemes commonly suffer from large communication overhead due to the lack of efficient mechanisms
to control message replication. In this paper we give a brief survey on routing protocols designed for
DTNs, and evaluate the performance of several representative routing protocols including Epidemic, Spray
and Wait, PRoPHET, and 3R through extensive trace-driven simulations. Another objective of this work is
to evaluate the security strength of different routing schemes under common DTN attacks such as the black
hole attack. The results and analysis presented in this paper can provide useful guidance on the design and
selection of routing protocols for given delay-tolerant applications.
The delivering of both good quality of service (QoS) and Grade of Service (GoS) in any competitive mobile
communication environment is a major factor to reducing subscribers’ churn rate. Therefore, it is
important for wireless mobile network operators to ensure stability and efficiency by delivering a
consistent, reliable and high-quality end user (subscriber) satisfaction. This can only be achieve by
conducting a regular network performance monitoring and optimisation as it directly impacts the quality of
the offered services and hence user satisfaction. In this paper, we present the results of network
performance evaluation and optimisation of a GSM network on cell cluster-basis, in Asaba region, South
East Nigeria. We employ a combination of essential key performance indicators such as dropped call rate,
call setup success rate and outage call rate to examine overall QoS and GoS performance of the GSM
network. Our results after network optimisation showed significant performance improvement in terms of
call drop rate, call set up success rate, and call block rate across. Specifically, the end user satisfaction
rate has increased from 94.45%, 87.74%, and 92.85% to 99.05%, 95.38% and 99.03% respectively across
the three GSM cell clusters. The GoS is reduced from 3.33%, 6.60% and 2.38% to 0.00%, 3.70% and
0.00% respectively. Furthermore, ESA, which correspond end points service availability, has improved
from 94.44%, 93.40% and 97.62% to 100%, 96.30% and 100% respectively. In addition, the average
throughput has improved from 73.74kbits/s, 85.06kbits/s and 87.54kbits/s to 77.07kbits/s, 92.38kbits/s and
102kbits/s respectively across the three GSM cell clusters.
DISCRETE COSINETRANSFORM-II FOR REDUCTION IN PEAK TO AVERAGE POWER RATIO OF O...ijwmn
Orthogonal frequency Division multiplexing (OFDM) is the most familiar word in telecommunication
and wireless communication systems as it provides enhanced spectral efficiency than Frequency division
multiplexing (FDM).Although it is sustaining an orthogonal relation betweencarriers but high peak to
average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main disadvantages of OFDM system.Various PAPR reduction
techniques have been used, including techniques based on companding. Incompanding, -Law
companding has potential to reduce the PAPR of OFDMsignals. -Law Companding technique
preserves the dynamic range of samples at low amplitudes.A new method named as precoding which is
having less complexity compared to the other power reduction techniques is proposed to reduce PAPR.
This paper put forward combination of two existing techniques namely -Law Companding Transform
and Discrete Cosine Transform-II precoding technique. The simulation results show that, the proposed
combinedscheme gives better result for PAPR Reduction and results in no distortion.

Mathematical expressions are also presented to calculate the critical handoff point between neighboring wireless stations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively alleviate interference and enhance coverage area compared to non-optimized small cell deployment strategies.

This document provides a summary of a report on spectral occupancy measurement and analysis for cognitive radio applications. It discusses using a discone antenna and RF Explorer spectrum analyzer to collect wireless spectrum usage data sets over time. MATLAB is then used to analyze the data sets, including plotting power spectral density vs. frequency graphs and waterfall charts of power spectral density over frequency and time. Time series analysis techniques are applied to model the radio spectrum occupancy for purposes like predicting spectrum availability to enable opportunistic spectrum access in cognitive radio systems. The goal is to study 24-hour spectrum usage patterns and identify underutilized bands that could be accessed without interfering with primary users.
Resource Allocation in MIMO – OFDM Communication System under Signal Strength...Kumar Goud
Abstract: - Multiple Inputs and Multiple Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system have the potential to attain high capability on the propagation setting. The aim of this paper is that the adaptive resource allocation in MIMO-OFDM system uses the water filling formula. Water filling answer is enforced for allocating the ability so as to extend the data rate. The overall system capability is maximised subject to the constraints on total power, signal to noise quantitative relation, and proportionality. Channel is assumed as a flat attenuation channel and therefore the comparison is created for various 2×2, 2×3, 3×2 and 4×4 MIMO-OFDM systems and water filling formula with allotted power. Supported the capability contribution from the relaying terminal, a brand new parameter referred to as cooperation constant is introduced as an operate of the relaying sub channel. This parameter is employed to switch the target parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure. Fairness-oriented [Fading Channel] and throughput-oriented [Near finish Channel] algorithms square measure elite from the literature to check the planned technique. Each algorithms square measure changed to use the mean of cooperation constant within the objective parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure and shown to own a much better total turnout with none sacrifice.

A SURVEY ON DYNAMIC SPECTRUM ACCESS TECHNIQUES IN COGNITIVE RADIOijngnjournal
Wireless networks are characterized by fixed spectrum policy. With increasing demands for wireless communication efficiently using the spectrum resources has become an essential issue. Cognitive radio is a form of wireless communication which is used to sense the spectrum and find the free spectrum. It is used by unlicensed users without causing interference to the licensed user. Cognitive radio with the dynamic spectrum access is key technology which provides the best solution by allowing a group of Secondary users to share the radio spectrum originally allocated to the primary users. Dynamically accessing the unused spectrum is known as dynamic spectrum access (DSA) which becomes a promising approach to increase
the efficiency of spectrum usage. In this paper, DSA models are discussed along with different methods such as game theory based method, a measurement-based model, network coded cognitive control channel, Markovian Queuing model, the Delay performance of threshold policies, fuzzy logic based method and spatio-temporal spectrum management model.
This document summarizes a research paper on performance analysis of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio using a common control channel. It discusses how cognitive radio can dynamically detect unused spectrum and allocate it to secondary users without interfering with primary users. The paper presents simulation results demonstrating the spectrum sharing process. It shows unused spectrum being allocated to new secondary users, and secondary users vacating the spectrum if a primary user needs it. The effects of noise and signal attenuation on the spectrum sharing are also analyzed through the simulation results.
This document discusses load balancing in cellular networks through paging techniques. It first provides background on cellular networks and hierarchical network structures. It then reviews existing work related to reducing paging costs, communication between users, location updates, and paging strategies for 3G mobile networks. The existing frequency reuse system is described as having problems like frequency reuse, flooding, delays, and interference. The proposed system introduces soft frequency reuse, which employs zone-based frequency reuse factors and power restrictions to reduce interference between cell areas. Load balancing of paging requests across network tiers can minimize delays and costs through techniques like hierarchical pipelining, sequential, and blanket paging schemes.
This document proposes a scheme to dynamically optimize cellular network utilization by encouraging subscribers to use services when certain cells are underutilized. It involves measuring cell load indicators like transmitted power and code usage. Cells with low load would be selected and subscribers in those cells would receive offers for reduced tariffs via cell broadcast to boost utilization. This aims to maximize revenue by increasing cellular yield without impacting highly loaded cells. Key performance indicators and an algorithm are presented for selecting candidate cells for this utilization enhancement scheme.
IRJET- Channel Allocation Strategy for Multiuser Cognitive and Location A...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a channel allocation strategy for a cognitive radio network that takes into account the locations of secondary users. The coverage area is divided into an overlay region near primary users and a hybrid region further away. Secondary users in the overlay region use an overlay spectrum access method, while those in the hybrid region use a sensing-free method. The paper formulates a resource allocation problem that optimizes power and channel allocation for secondary users based on their locations and spectrum access methods. It then proposes an adaptive algorithm that incorporates an interference violation test to determine resource allocation parameters and enable sensing-free access, while minimizing total power consumption subject to quality of service constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed location-aware and adaptive strategy in improving
Beamforming with per antenna power constraint and transmit antenna selection ...sipij
This document presents techniques for beamforming and antenna selection in cooperative distributed antenna systems using convex optimization. It formulates beamforming as a convex optimization problem to minimize total weighted transmit power while satisfying per-antenna power constraints and SINR thresholds. Antenna selection is also formulated as a convex problem to maximize channel capacity by selecting an optimal subset of antennas from available remote antenna units. Simulation results show that integrating beamforming into distributed antenna systems enhances performance and achieves a lower transmit power compared to non-beamforming techniques. The per-antenna power constraint also yields better performance than a sum power constraint.
Optimized Cluster Establishment and Cluster-Head Selection Approach in WSNIJCNCJournal
In recent years, limited resources of user products and energy-saving are recognized as the major challenges of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Clustering is a practical technique that can reduce all energy consumption and provide stability of workload that causes a larger difference in energy depletion among other nodes and cluster heads (CHs). In addition, clustering is the solution of energy-efficient for maximizing the network longevity and improvising energy efficiency. In this paper, a novel OCE-CHS (Optimized Cluster Establishment and Cluster-Head Selection) approach for sensor nodes is represented to improvise the packet success ratio and reduce the average energy-dissipation. The main contribution of this paper is categorized into two processes, first, the clustering algorithm is improvised that periodically chooses the optimal set of the CHs according to the speed of the average node and average-node energy. This is considerably distinguished from node-based clustering that utilizes a distributed clustering algorithm to choose CHs based on the speed of the current node and remaining node energy. Second, more than one factor is assumed for the detached node to join the optimal cluster. In the result section, we discuss our clustering protocols implementation of optimal CH-selection to evade the death of SNs, maximizing throughput, and further improvise the network lifetime by minimizing energy consumption.
Performance Analysis of Wireless Networks With MDQOSIJERA Editor
In Wireless/Mobile networks various kinds of encoding schemes were used for transmission of data over a bandwidth. The desired quality and generated traffic varies with the requirement with this bandwidth. A generic video telephony may require more than 40 kbps whereas a low motion video telephony may require about 25 kbps for data transmission. From the designing point of view these requirements demands for an alternative resource planning, especially for bandwidth allocation in wireless networks. In wireless network where bandwidth is a scare resource, the system may need to block incoming user if all of the bandwidth has been used to provide highest quality of service to existing users. However this bandwidth resource planning may be unacceptable for larger application. A degradable approach to multiple users can be made on bandwidth allocation to reduce the blocking probability without degrading the quality of service to existing users.
This work aims towards a realization of a wireless/mobile network using W-CDMA multi access technique supporting multilevel quality of services. The bandwidth allocation to multiple users is adjusted dynamically according to the required network condition so as to increase bandwidth utilization. The work analyze the performance deriving the degradation period ratio, mean degradation time and degradation state for the implemented wireless network.The proposed work is aim to implement on Matlab tool for its functional verification considering various mobility patterns

In this paper, the performance assessment of five different detection techniques from spectrum sensing
perspective in cognitive radio networks is proposed and implemented using the realistic implementation
oriented model (R-model) with signal processing operations. The performance assessment of the different
sensing techniques in the existence of unknown or imprecisely known impulsive noise levels is done by
considering the signal detection in cognitive radio networks under a non-parametric multisensory detection
scenario. The examination focuses on performance comparison of basic spectrum sensing mechanisms as,
energy detection (ED) and cyclostationary feature detection (CSFD) along with the eigenvalue-based
detection methods namely, Maximum-minimum eigenvalue detection (MMED), Roy’s largest Root Test
(RLRT) which requires knowledge of the noise variance and Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT)
which can be implemented as a test of the largest eigenvalues vs. Maximum-likelihood estimates a noise
variance. From simulation results it is observed that the detection performance of the GLRT method is
better than the other techniques in realistic implementation oriented model.
EFFECTS OF FILTERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DVB-T RECEIVERijwmn
Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) is an international standard for digital television
services. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the core of this technology. OFDM
based system like DVB-T can handle multipath fading and hence it can minimize Inter Symbol
Interference (ISI). DVB-T has some limitations too namely large dynamic range of the signals and
sensitivity to frequency error. In order to overcome these limitations DVB-T receivers should be optimally
designed. In this paper we address the issues related to optimal DVB-T receiver design. There of several
signal processing units in a DVB-T receiver. A low-pass filter is one of them. In this paper, we consider
some classic filters namely Butterworth, Chebyshev, and elliptic in the DVB-T receiver. The effects of
different filters on the performances of DVB-T receiver have been investigated and compared in this
paper under AWGN channel condition
ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR DELAY TOLERANT NETWORKS: SURVEY AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONijwmn
Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a promising technology that aims to provide efficient communication
between devices in a network with no guaranteed continuous connectivity. Most existing routing schemes
for DTNs exploit the advantage of message replication to achieve high message delivery rate. However,
these schemes commonly suffer from large communication overhead due to the lack of efficient mechanisms
to control message replication. In this paper we give a brief survey on routing protocols designed for
DTNs, and evaluate the performance of several representative routing protocols including Epidemic, Spray
and Wait, PRoPHET, and 3R through extensive trace-driven simulations. Another objective of this work is
to evaluate the security strength of different routing schemes under common DTN attacks such as the black
hole attack. The results and analysis presented in this paper can provide useful guidance on the design and
selection of routing protocols for given delay-tolerant applications.
The delivering of both good quality of service (QoS) and Grade of Service (GoS) in any competitive mobile
communication environment is a major factor to reducing subscribers’ churn rate. Therefore, it is
important for wireless mobile network operators to ensure stability and efficiency by delivering a
consistent, reliable and high-quality end user (subscriber) satisfaction. This can only be achieve by
conducting a regular network performance monitoring and optimisation as it directly impacts the quality of
the offered services and hence user satisfaction. In this paper, we present the results of network
performance evaluation and optimisation of a GSM network on cell cluster-basis, in Asaba region, South
East Nigeria. We employ a combination of essential key performance indicators such as dropped call rate,
call setup success rate and outage call rate to examine overall QoS and GoS performance of the GSM
network. Our results after network optimisation showed significant performance improvement in terms of
call drop rate, call set up success rate, and call block rate across. Specifically, the end user satisfaction
rate has increased from 94.45%, 87.74%, and 92.85% to 99.05%, 95.38% and 99.03% respectively across
the three GSM cell clusters. The GoS is reduced from 3.33%, 6.60% and 2.38% to 0.00%, 3.70% and
0.00% respectively. Furthermore, ESA, which correspond end points service availability, has improved
from 94.44%, 93.40% and 97.62% to 100%, 96.30% and 100% respectively. In addition, the average
throughput has improved from 73.74kbits/s, 85.06kbits/s and 87.54kbits/s to 77.07kbits/s, 92.38kbits/s and
102kbits/s respectively across the three GSM cell clusters.
DISCRETE COSINETRANSFORM-II FOR REDUCTION IN PEAK TO AVERAGE POWER RATIO OF O...ijwmn
Orthogonal frequency Division multiplexing (OFDM) is the most familiar word in telecommunication
and wireless communication systems as it provides enhanced spectral efficiency than Frequency division
multiplexing (FDM).Although it is sustaining an orthogonal relation betweencarriers but high peak to
average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main disadvantages of OFDM system.Various PAPR reduction
techniques have been used, including techniques based on companding. Incompanding, -Law
companding has potential to reduce the PAPR of OFDMsignals. -Law Companding technique
preserves the dynamic range of samples at low amplitudes.A new method named as precoding which is
having less complexity compared to the other power reduction techniques is proposed to reduce PAPR.
This paper put forward combination of two existing techniques namely -Law Companding Transform
and Discrete Cosine Transform-II precoding technique. The simulation results show that, the proposed
combinedscheme gives better result for PAPR Reduction and results in no distortion.
SELECTION OF SPECTRUM SENSING METHOD TO ENHANCE QOS IN COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKSijwmn
The massively increasing number of wireless communication devices has led to considerable growths in
radio traffic density, resulting in a predictable shortage of the available spectrum. To address this potential
shortage, the Cognitive Radio (CR) technology offers promising solutions that aim to improve the spectrum
utilization. The operation of CR relies on detecting the so-called spectrum holes, i.e., the frequency bands
when they are unoccupied by their licensed operators. The unlicensed users are then allowed to
communicate using these spectrum holes. Consequently, the performance of CR is highly dependent on the
employed spectrum sensing methods. Several sensing methods are already available or literarily proposed.
However, no individual method can accommodate all possible CR operation scenarios. Hence, it is fair to
ascertain that the performance of a CR device can be improved if it is capable of supporting several
sensing methods. Then it should be able to effectively select the most suitable method. In this paper, several
spectrum sensing methods are compared and analyzed, aiming to identify their advantages and
shortcomings in different CR operating conditions. Furthermore, it identifies the factors that need to be
considered while selecting a proper sensing method from the catalog of available methods.
Long term evolution (LTE) is replacing the 3G services slowly but steadily and become a preferred choice
for data for human to human (H2H) services and now it is becoming preferred choice for voice also. In
some developed countries the traditional 2G services gradually decommissioned from the service and
getting replaced with LTE for all H2H services. LTE provided high downlink and uplink bandwidth
capacity and is one of the technology like mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and vehicular ad hoc network
(VANET) being used as the backbone communication infrastructure for vehicle networking applications.
When Compared to VANET and MANET, LTE provides wide area of coverage and excellent infrastructure
facilities for vehicle networking. This helps in transmitting the vehicle information to the operator and
downloading certain information into the vehicle nodes (VNs) from the operators server. As per the ETSI
publications the number of machine to machine communication (MTC) devices are expected to touch 50
billion by 2020 and this will surpass H2H communication. With growing congestion in the LTE network,
accessing the network for any request from VN especially during peak hour is a big challenge because of
the congestion in random access channel (RACH). In this paper we will analyse this RACH congestion
problem with the data from the live network. Lot of algorithms are proposed for resolving the RACH
congestion on the basis of simulation results so we would like to present some practical data from the live
network to this issue to understand the extent RACH congestion issue in the real time scenario.

There are numerous applications for wireless sensor networks which are inevitable now a day in our daily
life. Majority of such applications which use wireless sensor networks will be in areas where the direct
human intervention is impossible. So the limited energy available in such sensors is a threat for prolonging
the life of the entire network. The need of energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks is a hot research
topic in which lot of new strategies for improvement in energy efficiency has been sought after. As
communication process consumes more energy, an energy efficient routing strategy can probably reduce
the energy consumption to a great extend. This paper gives an overview of the different routing techniques
in which mobile sinks are used to facilitate the routing process which can effectively reduce the energy use.
A new routing strategy with mobile sinks and a static sink is proposed and is compared based on the
matrices life time and average energy of the nodes with the existing Shortest Hop path (SH) algorithm. The
simulation results shows the proposed algorithm is more energy efficient than the existing one.

In Cognitive radio (CR) applications Ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) signals can be designed
such as they can co-exist with licensed primary users. The pulse shape should be adjusted such that the
power spectral characteristics not only meet the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) constrains,
but also mitigate multiple narrow-band interference at the locations of existing primary users. In this
paper, the Parks-McClellan (PM) Algorithm and the Eigen Value Decomposition (EVD) approach for
UWB impulse radio waveform shaping are considered. The power spectral density (PSD) and the bit-errorrate
(BER) performance of the two methods are compared in the presence of single and double narrowband
interference (NBI). The interference rejection capabilities of the two methods are evaluated and
compared for different interference and additive noise levels. In particular, the simulations consider the

An important role performed by Zero Padding (ZP) in multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) System. This role
show for low-complexity in résistance against multipath interference by reducing inter-carrier interference
(ICI) and eliminating the inter-symbol interference (ISI) Also, zero-padded suffix can be used to eliminate
ripples in the power spectral density in order to conform to FCC requirements. At the receiver of MB-OFDM system needs to use of a technique called as overlap-and-add (OLA). Which maintain the circular convolution property and take the multipath energy of the channel.In this paper, we proposed a method of performing overlap-and-add length for zero padded suffixes. Then,we studied the effect of this method, dynamic optimization of overlap-and-add (OLA) equalization, on the performance of MIMO MBOFDM system on Bit Error Rate (BER) with AWGN channel and SalehValenzuela (S-V) Multipath channel Model.In the dynamic optimization OLA, the Length of ZP depends on length of channel impulse response (CIR).

An efficient model for reducing soft blocking probability in wireless cellula...ijwmn
One of the research challenges in cellular networks is the design of an efficient model that can reduce call
blocking probability and improve the quality of service (QoS) provided to mobile users. Blocking occurs
when a new call cannot be admitted into the network due to channel unavailability caused by limited
capacity or when an ongoing call cannot be continued as it moves from one base station to another due to
mobility of the user. The proposed model computes the steady state probability and resource occupancy
distribution, traffic distribution, intra-cell and inter-cell interferences from mobile users. Previously
proposed models are reviewed through which the present model is built for use in emerging wireless
networks so as to obtain improved QoS performance. The developed model is validated through simulations
in MATLAB and its equations implemented using Java Programming Language. The results obtained
indicate reduced call blocking probability below threshold.
Wireless sensor nodes are usually deployed in not easily accessible places to provide solution to a wide
range of application such as environmental, medical and structural monitoring. They are spatially
distributed and as a result are usually powered from batteries. Due to the limitation in providing power
with batteries, which must be manually replaced when they are depleted, and location constraints in
wireless sensor network causes a major setback on performance and lifetime of WSNs. This difficulty in
battery replacement and cost led to a growing interest in energy harvesting. The current practice in energy
harvesting for sensor networks is based on practical and simulation approach. The evaluation and
validation of the WSN systems is mostly done using simulation and practical implementation. Simulation is
widely used especially for its great advantage in evaluating network systems. Its disadvantages such as the
long time taken to simulate and not being economical as it implements data without proper analysis of all
that is involved ,wasting useful resources cannot be ignored. In most times, the energy scavenged is directly
wired to the sensor nodes. We, therefore, argue that simulation – based and practical implementation of
WSN energy harvesting system should be further strengthened through mathematical analysis and design
procedures. In this work, we designed and modeled the energy harvesting system for wireless sensor nodes
based on the input and output parameters of the energy sources and sensor nodes. We also introduced the
use of supercapacitor as buffer and intermittent source for the sensor node. The model was further tested in
a Matlab environment, and found to yield a very good approach for system design.

MMSLC uses the Apriori algorithm to mine frequent patterns from log files. It then assigns unique codes to frequent patterns based on their compression gain. MMSLC exploits correlations between consecutive log files by using a mixed online and offline compression approach. It applies frequent patterns mined from previous files during online compression of current files, while also mining patterns from current files for future compression. The method achieves high compression ratios and provides summaries of frequent patterns to aid in network monitoring.
A STUDY ON QUANTITATIVE PARAMETERS OF SPECTRUM HANDOFF IN COGNITIVE RADIO NET...ijwmn
The innovation of wireless technologies requires dynamic allocation of spectrum band in an efficient
manner. This has been achieved by Cognitive Radio (CR) networks which allow unlicensed users to make
use of free licensed spectrum, when the licensed users are kept away from that spectrum. The cognitive
radio makes decision, switching from primary user to secondary user and vice-versa, based on its built-in
interference engine. It allows secondary users to makes use of a channel based on its availability i.e. on the
absence of the primary user and they should vacate the channel once the primary user re-enters and
continue their communication on another available channel and this process in the cognitive radio is
known as spectrum mobility. The main objective of spectrum mobility is that, there is no interruption
caused due to the channel occupied by secondary users and maintains a good quality of service. In order to
achieve better spectrum mobility, it is mandatory to choose an effective spectrum handoff strategy with the
capability of predicting spectrum mobility. The handoff strategy with its parameters and its impact is an
important concept in spectrum mobility but fairly explored. In this paper an empirical study on quantitative
parameters involved in spectrum mobility prediction are discussed in detail. These parameters are studied
extensively because they play a vital role in the spectrum handoff process moreover the impact of these
parameters in various handoff methods can be used to predict the effectiveness of the system.
MOBILE PRIMARY USER IN COGNITIVE RADIO STATE OF THE ARTS AND RECENT ADVANCESjosephjonse
This document summarizes research on addressing the issue of primary user mobility in cognitive radio networks. It discusses how primary user mobility can impact spectrum sensing, channel availability, and the overall cognitive radio cycle. It analyzes two scenarios - partial mobility where only the primary user is mobile, and global mobility where both primary and secondary users are mobile. For partial mobility, it describes how primary user motion can reduce sensing accuracy and affect the optimal sensing time. It also discusses how mobility changes channel availability over time as the distances between users vary. The document concludes that accounting for primary user mobility poses new challenges for cognitive radio that require adapting or developing new techniques beyond existing static user approaches.

Channel feedback scheduling for wireless communicationseSAT Journals
Abstract Opportunistic scheduling can significantly improve wireless network performance by exploiting the underlying channel condition. There has been a lot of work on opportunistic scheduling, but the problem of finding the right feedback mechanism to convey channel information has largely been untouched. In emerging multichannel systems, the per-channel feedback induces a substantial amount of feedback overhead and requires high computational complexity. To reduce the feedback overhead, we consider an opportunistic feedback strategy that activates the channel feedback opportunistically according to the channel condition. Then, we combine the opportunistic feedback with the best-n channel feedback scheme where a mobile user chooses the best n channels and transfers this information to the base station. We analyze the throughput and the amount of channel feedback information for proportionally fair opportunistic scheduling under Rayleigh fading i.i.d. channels. The numerical results confirm that our partial feedback schemes achieve a remarkable reduction in the amount of feedback information without significant throughput degradation, thereby saving the scarce wireless bandwidth and limited battery power.

Positioning techniques have been a common objective since the early development of wireless networks. However, current positioning methods in cellular networks, for instance, are still primarily focused on the use of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which has several limitations, like high power drainage and failure in indoor scenarios. This study introduces a novel approach employing standard LTE signaling in order to provide high accuracy positioning estimation. The proposed technique is designed in analogy to the human sound localization system, eliminating the need of having information from three spatially diverse Base Stations (BSs). This is inspired by the perfect human 3D sound localization with two ears. A field study is carried out in a dense urban city to verify the accuracy of the proposed technique, with more than 20 thousand measurement samples collected. The achieved positioning accuracy is meeting the latest Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements in the planner dimension.

Recently, mobile traf ic is growing rapidly and spectrum resources are becoming scarce in wireless
networks. Due to this, the wireless network capacity will not meet the traf ic demand. To address this
problem, using cellular systems in an unlicensed spectrum emerged as an ef ective solution. In this case,
cellular systems need to coexist with Wi-Fi and other systems. For that, we propose an ef icient channel

we implement an emulator as an environment for spectrum sharing in densely deployed NB and APs in
wireless heterogeneous networks. Our proposed DDQN algorithm improves the average throughput from

Spectrum Sharing between Cellular and Wi-Fi Networks based on Deep Reinforcem...IJCNCJournal
Recently, mobile traffic is growing rapidly and spectrum resources are becoming scarce in wireless networks. Due to this, the wireless network capacity will not meet the traffic demand. To address this problem, using cellular systems in an unlicensed spectrum emerged as an effective solution. In this case, cellular systems need to coexist with Wi-Fi and other systems. For that, we propose an efficient channel assignment method for Wi-Fi AP and cellular NB, based on the DRL method. To train the DDQN model, we implement an emulator as an environment for spectrum sharing in densely deployed NB and APs in wireless heterogeneous networks. Our proposed DDQN algorithm improves the average throughput from 25.5% to 48.7% in different user arrival rates compared to the conventional method. We evaluated the generalization performance of the trained agent, to confirm channel allocation efficiency in terms of average throughput under the different user arrival rates.
Downlink beamforming and admissin control for spectrum sharing cognitive radi...acijjournal
This document summarizes research on downlink beamforming and admission control for spectrum sharing cognitive radio systems. It discusses maximizing the number of admitted secondary links under interference and QoS constraints, as well as maximizing the sum throughput of admitted secondary links. An iterative algorithm based on geometric programming is proposed to solve the non-convex throughput maximization problem. Simulation results show a tradeoff between number of admitted links and secondary network throughput, but that enforcing QoS constraints does not significantly reduce throughput. The goal is to minimize secondary transmitter power while meeting SINR and interference limits.
Range-Based Data Gathering Algorithm With a Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Ne...ijwmn
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been emerged in many important aspects in the real world, such as
industry, agriculture, and military applications. As the main challenge that WSNs facing is the energy
consumption, it is necessary to investigate the suitability of using mobile sinks for data collection in these
networks. In this paper, therefore, a new data gathering technique with mobile elements referred to as
Intersection Point of Communication Ranges (IPCR) is proposed. The IPCR algorithm endeavours to
compute the optimal trajectory of the mobile sink for which the data collection latency is reduced.
Simulation results presented in this study showed that the IPCR algorithm has achieved the optimal Travel
Sales-Man Problem algorithm. In addition, the IPCR algorithm outperformed the Connectivity Based Data
Collection (CBDC) algorithm in terms of data gathering latency and network throughput.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new data gathering algorithm called Intersection Point of Communication Ranges (IPCR) for wireless sensor networks with a mobile sink. The IPCR algorithm aims to compute an optimal trajectory for the mobile sink to minimize data collection latency. It ensures that all sensor nodes are covered through single-hop communication by having the mobile sink traverse intersection points where sensor communication ranges overlap. Simulation results showed that the IPCR algorithm achieved results matching the optimal Traveling Salesman Problem algorithm and outperformed an existing Connectivity Based Data Collection algorithm in terms of latency and network throughput.
Bio-inspired route estimation in cognitive radio networks IJECEIAES
Cognitive radio is a technique that was originally created for the proper use of the radio electric spectrum due its underuse. A few methods were used to predict the network traffic to determine the occupancy of the spectrum and then use the ‘holes’ between the transmissions of primary users. The goal is to guarantee a complete transmission for the second user while not interrupting the trans-mission of primary users. This study seeks the multifractal generation of traffic for a specific radio electric spectrum as well as a bio-inspired route estimation for secondary users. It uses the MFHW algorithm to generate multifractal traces and two bio-inspired algo-rithms: Ant Colony Optimization and Max Feeding to calculate the secondary user’s path. Multifractal characteristics offer a predic-tion, which is 10% lower in comparison with the original traffic values and a complete transmission for secondary users. In fact, a hybrid strategy combining both bio-inspired algorithms promise a reduction in handoff. The purpose of this research consists on deriving future investigation in the generation of multifractal traffic and a mobility spectrum using bio-inspired algorithms.

ABSTRACT
Despite the popularity of mobile applications, their performance
and energy bottlenecks remain hidden due to a lack of visibility into
the resource-constrained mobile execution environment with po-
tentially complex interaction with the application behavior. We de-
sign and implement ARO, the mobile Application Resource Optimizer,
the first tool that efficiently and accurately exposes the cross-layer
interaction among various layers including radio resource chan-
nel state, transport layer, application layer, and the user interac-
tion layer to enable the discovery of inefficient resource usage for
smartphone applications. To realize this, ARO provides three key
novel analyses: (i) accurate inference of lower-layer radio resource
control states, (ii) quantification of the resource impact of applica-
tion traffic patterns, and (iii) detection of energy and radio resource
bottlenecks by jointly analyzing cross-layer information. We have
implemented ARO and demonstrated its benefit on several essential
categories of popular Android applications to detect radio resource
and energy inefficiencies, such as unacceptably high (46%) energy
overhead of periodic audience measurements and inefficient con-
tent prefetching behavior.

Energy sink-holes avoidance method based on fuzzy system in wireless sensor ...IJECEIAES
The existence of a mobile sink for gathering data significantly extends wireless sensor networks (WSNs) lifetime. In recent years, a variety of efficient rendezvous points-based sink mobility approaches has been proposed for avoiding the energy sink-holes problem nearby the sink, diminishing buffer overflow of sensors, and reducing the data latency. Nevertheless, lots of research has been carried out to sort out the energy holes problem using controllable-based sink mobility methods. However, further developments can be demonstrated and achieved on such type of mobility management system. In this paper, a well-rounded strategy involving an energy-efficient routing protocol along with a controllablebased sink mobility method is proposed to extirpate the energy sink-holes problem. This paper fused the fuzzy A-star as a routing protocol for mitigating the energy consumption during data forwarding along with a novel sink mobility method which adopted a grid partitioning system and fuzzy system that takes account of the average residual energy, sensors density, average traffic load, and sources angles to detect the optimal next location of the mobile sink. By utilizing diverse performance metrics, the empirical analysis of our proposed work showed an outstanding result as compared with fuzzy A-star protocol in the case of a static sink.
Wideband Sensing for Cognitive Radio Systems in Heterogeneous Next Generation...CSCJournals
Mobile Next Generation Network (MNGN) is characterized as heterogeneous network where variety of access technologies are meant to coexist. Decisions on choosing an air interface that meets a particular need at a particular time will be shifted from the network’s side to (a more intelligent) user’s side. On top of that network operators and regularities have come to the realization that assigned spectrum bands are not utilized as they should be. Cognitive radio stands out as a candidate technology to address many emerging issues in MNGN such as capacity, quality of service and spectral efficiency. As a transmission strategy, cognitive radio systems depend greatly on sensing the radio environment. In this paper, we present a novel approach for interference characterization in cognitive radio networks based on wideband chirp signal. The results presented show that improved sensing accuracy is maintained at tolerable system complexity.

The proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm com
promises between cell throughput and fairness. Many
research findings have been published by various re
searchers about PF algorithm based on mathematical
model and simulations. In this paper we have taken
the practical route to analyse the algorithm based
on
three types of subscription. In this benchmarking s
tudy, the user subscriptions are differentiated as
Gold,
Silver and Bronze schemes and they are provisioned
with certain throughputs. Apart from subscriptions
plans, the channel condition also plays a major rol
e in determining the throughput. So in order to ens
ure
fairness among different subscriptions even in the
bad channel conditions and to deliver the provision
ed
throughputs certain priorities are attached with th
e subscriptions. As per the subscription plans Gold
subscribers are assigned with 50% of the speed offe
red by the network as maximum based on CAT3 speed
(100 Mbps in DL and 50 Mbps in UL), Silver is assig
ned with 25% of the max speed and Bronze is
assigned with 12% of the max speed. The priorities
assigned to subscribers determines the fairness in
the
unfavourable channel conditions - Bronze (high), Si
lver and Gold (medium). In this paper, an
benchmarking tests have been performed with all of
three types of subscribers for nearly two hours in
the
live single cell network without any heterogeneous
cells influencing it. Furthermore, the results are
compared with the simulation results.
ADAPTIVE HANDOVER HYSTERESIS AND CALL ADMISSION CONTROL FOR MOBILE RELAY NODESIJCNCJournal
The aim of equipping a wireless network with a mobile relay node is to support broadband wireless communications for vehicular users and their devices. The high mobility of vehicular users, possibly at a very high velocity in the area in which two cells overlap, could cause the network to suffer from a reduced handover success rate and, hence, increased radio link failure. The combined impact of these problems is service interruptions to vehicular users. Thus, the handover schemes are crucial in solving these problems. In this work, we first present the adaptive handover hysteresis scheme for the wireless network with mobile relay nodes in the high-speed train scenario. Specifically, our proposed adaptive hysteresis scheme is based on the velocity of the train. Second, the handover call dropping probability is reduced by introducing a modified call admission control scheme to support radio resource reservation for handover calls that prioritizes handover calls of mobile relay over the other calls. The proposed solution in which adaptive parameter is combined with call admission control is evaluated by system level simulation. Our simulation results illustrate an increased handover success rate and reduced radio link failures.

A COGNITIVE RADIO SCHEME FOR DYNAMIC
RESOURCE ALLOCATION BASED ON QOE

ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a cognitive radio scheme based on quality of experience (QoE). QoE involves the
mobile end user’s preferences. Considering QoE can lead to an improved cognitive radio resource
management strategy. The cognitive radio scheme aims to manage the traffic flow in dynamic systems; it is
a new way of thinking about dynamic resource management in cellular systems. The Use of the cognitive
radio techniques in cellular systems will improve the resource assignment in wireless communication. The
cognitive radio is a self-aware communication system that aims to use the resource assignment in an
efficient way. The proposed algorithm is very successful at handling the call-blocking rate based on QoS
and QoE.
KEYWORDS
cognitive radio, cellular system, call-blocking rate, QoE
1. INTRODUCTION
To increase resource allocation efficacy in cellular systems, various resource allocation schemes
have been proposed (Shai et al., 2011; Xin et al., 2001). The goal of resource allocation strategies
is to decrease new call-blocking probabilities and the handoff call-blocking rate (Raiyn, 2009,
2012). The call-blocking rate is determined by urban traffic congestion. Over the last two
decades, the demand for developing a real-time traffic prediction methodology that is robust and
accurate enough to handle the urban traffic has grown rapidly. One of the biggest challenges is
the forecasting of abnormal conditions in dynamic traffic management (Chrobok et al., 2000;
Zhang et al., 2003). Another is to fulfill the mobile users’ demands and satisfy their preferences
under the constraint of real-time predictions. This is a challenge because resource demand in the
system is regularly exceeded. There are three major strategies for relieving congestion (Raiyn,
2010, ); the first strategy is to increase the number of base stations; however, this is very
expensive and can only be accomplished in the long term. The second strategy is to limit traffic
demand or to make data communications more expensive, which will be strongly disapproved of
by mobile users. The third strategy focuses on the efficient and optimized utilization of existing
resources. This strategy is the best trade-off and is garnering more and more attention. Currently,
the cognitive radio technology is the most promising approach to implementing the third strategy.
The term cognitive radio (CR) is defined according to (Akyildiz et al., 2008) as an adaptive,
intelligent radio and network technology that can automatically detect available resources in a
cellular networks and change transmission parameters, to improve radio-operating behavior. In
order to decrease the call-blocking rate, we introduced a cognitive radio scheme for resource
allocation based on quality of experience (QoE). The term QoE is defined and relates to how end
2. International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 8, No. 1, February 2016
2
users perceive the quality of an application or service (Tang et al., 2014). The cognitive radio
system aims to allow universal maximization of spectrum utilization via environmental sensing
(Han et al., 2011; Kim, et al., 2001). Cognitive radio changes its transmitter parameters by
interacting with the environment it operates in, and it requires a highly reliable sensing technique.
Cooperative sensing technologies have been studied to meet this need. To manage incomplete
information on environmental sensing (ES), we have introduced a forecasting scheme (Wild,
1997).
The introduction of a forecasting scheme based on QoE will lead to adaptive cognitive radio
technology based on the computation and evaluation of QoE. Adaptive cognitive radio
technology considers shadow fading in the coverage zone. Many studies have shown that urban
traffic congestion increases the new call-blocking rate. Over the last two decades, the demand for
developing a traffic prediction methodology that is robust and accurate enough to handle dynamic
resource allocation has grown rapidly. One of the biggest challenges in dynamic resource
allocation is predicting abnormal conditions. Introducing a prediction scheme will allow the
cognitive radio to universally maximize spectrum utilization by environmental sensing. This
paper is organized as follows. In the second section we introduce the system model. In the third
section, we analyze and evaluate the performance of several forecasting schemes.
2 .THE SYSTEM MODEL
A cellular network (Zysman & Menkes, 2001) consists of an array of cells. We partitioned the
cellular network into clusters. For each cluster, which consists of a number of cells, we set a
control system, an agent, which manages the cell. When a mobile host in a cell needs to
communicate, it sends a request to the centralized distributor to acquire a channel (Raiyn, 2011b).
The centralized distributor then attempts to identify a vacant channel. Hence, the centralized
distributor informs the mobile host about which channel it can use. The system focuses on
handoff (Raiyn, 2009, 2011a) events, and control of a phone in current use is handed over from
one cell to another. The handover starts when the received power is weak and falls below a given
target value, SNRtgt
. The handover is performed when the mobile station (MS) receives a weak
SNR from BS-A and, at the same time, a strong signal from the neighbour BS, i.e.,
tgt
Br
tgt
A SNRPSNR >> (1)
where Pr is the received power signal at the mobile hot (MH) location; in other words, the
handoff strategy is designed as follows: At first, we track changes in the SNR of the current
channel. When the SNR is above threshold SNRtgt
, a handoff will not occur. If the SNR is below
threshold SNRtgt
, we will begin handoff execution immediately. In another case, when the SNR
falls between the two thresholds, we will use our handoff initiation algorithm to make a decision.
The adaptive agent decides whether the mobile host (MH) should hand off or not, based on a
combination of several parameters, e.g., the SNR and the system load, in order to avoid repeating
or performing unnecessary handoffs (Raiyn, 2012b). The system load is used to decrease the
handoff-dropping rate and to provide a QoS guarantee.
2.1 CR based on QoE
Many approaches based on quality of service (QoS) have been proposed to maximize overall
system performance, such as throughput, delay and jitter (Riyn, 2012b). However, the
requirements of different applications differ in terms of network resources. Moreover, QoS
3. International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 8, No. 1, February 2016

cannot directly reflect the perceived quality of services by end users, which may cause a waste of
radio resources. To cope with the rising traffic volume and different requirements of emerging
applications, efficient resource allocation technologies are much needed for cellular systems.
Currently, since QoE connects as closely as possible with users’ subjective perceptions, it plays a
more important role in indicating users’ experiences and reactions to certain services or
applications. Thus, network operators have broadened their focus from network QoS to user QoE.
QoE, which assesses the performance of a network from the user’s viewpoint, is drawing more
and more attention. Dynamic resource allocation schemes for QoE optimization have not yet been
studied, yet, according our primary results, these could produce improvements in users’ perceived
quality (Raiyn, 2007). In some cases, it is difficult, sometimes even impossible, to obtain
complete information from the QoE model in advance. In contrast to traditional QoS, which
attempts only technical measurements of multimedia transmissions, QoE is basically a subjective
measurement of end-to-end multimedia service from the user’s point of view. Where information
from the QoE model may be incomplete, especially under abnormal conditions, we have
introduced forecasting schemes. The next section will discuss these. Cognitive radio management
considers QoE by forecasting dynamic traffic patterns under abnormal conditions (Toledo, 2014).
2.2 Coverage planning
In this section, we give an overview of spread spectrum and the propagation of radio signals. The
propagation of radio signals in both uplinks and downlinks is affected by the physical channel in
several ways:
• A signal propagating, due various reasons, usually arrives at its destination along a number
of different paths, referred to as multi-paths. These paths arise from scattering, reflection,
refraction or diffraction of the radiated energy of objects in the environment, as shown in Figures
1 and Figure 2. The received signal is much weaker than the transmitted signal, due to
phenomena such as mean propagation loss, slow fading and fast fading.
Mean propagation loss is caused by square-law spreading, absorption by water and the
effects of ground reflections such high building. It is range-dependent and changes very slowly,
even for fast mobiles. Slow fading results from blockage by buildings and natural features and is
also known as long-term fading, or shadowing. Fast fading results from multi-path scattering in
the vicinity of the mobile. It is also known as short-term fading or Rayleigh fading, for reasons
explained below. Multipath propagation results in the spreading of the signal in different
dimensions. Figure 3 illustrates the resource demand at the base station.
Figure 1: Signal reflection.

Figure 2: Signal absorption.
2.3 Coverage map
Developing new simulator-based cognitive radio is necessary. Simulator-based cognitive radio
considers real-time resource allocation, environmental change and base station mobility.
Furthermore, the simulator takes into account trees and high-rise buildings that affect resource
allocation. This section illustrates the process of radio coverage prediction (Shi et al., 2011) by
introducing a case study that was undertaken for radio network planning (Xin et al., 2001) using
coverage planning, as illustrated Figure 3. This study in an urban environment concluded that
traditional propagation model could lead to increase the call blocking rate, with less-than-
expected quality of service, unacceptable interference, and more base stations than necessary.
Using the coverage-planning platform, the radio network designer can reach optimal levels for
base station deployment and configuration, while meeting expected service level requirements.
This can be done with the help of propagation models, geographical information, filed data and
optimization algorithms that are integrated into the planning tool. In order to meet the
requirements of the mobile services, the radio network must offer sufficient coverage and
capacity, while maintaining the lowest possible deployment costs. As mentioned in the previous
section, the network in a cellular network is divided into many cells, and usually a base station is
deployed in the center of each cell (Raiyn, 2008). For the sake of easy analysis, the cells are
represented as neighbouring hexagons, while in reality they can be any form and can overlap each
other. The size of each cell, when fixed, will usually stay stable. Unlike the CSMA system
described above, there is one important feature in GSM network planning: coverage planning and
capacity planning are independent. The coverage planning depends on the received signal
strength; that is, the covered area is limited almost only by the minimum signal strength at the cell
range, while the capacity planning depends mainly on frequency allocation.

Figure 4 shows a three-sector antenna pattern, which is clear from the shape of the results. Figure
5 shows the deployment in the suburbs of Portland and the coverage sectors; the colors represent
the frequency channel used for each sector. This plan is for a WiMAX system – a system
considered to be the precursor of the fourth generation of cellular networks. In a WiMAX system,
orthogonal planning, like GSM, and non-orthogonal planning, like that of CDMA networks, can
be combined. Hence, we see that the same channel is allocated to neighboring sectors, and the
interference between them should then be mitigated by other means.

Figure 5 shows the results of base station transmission and the impact of streets and buildings on
propagation. The different colors in the image represent the coverage areas of three base stations
(shown as blue dots with a number next to them). Yellow represents the area where the signal
arriving from station 1 is strongest, green represents the signal from station 4, and red the signal
from station 5. Stations 2 and 3 are not shown in the picture; nevertheless, there are some points
where their signal is strongest and can be seen colored in pink or blue (Raiyn, 2015a/b).

2.4 Resource allocation-based QoE
Coverage planning and coverage maps give a picture of resource allocation for static traffic loads.
To manage dynamic resource allocation-based QoE, we introduced a cognitive radio scheme.
A cognitive radio allocates the dynamic resources in a cellular system based on environmental
sensing (Raiyn, 2008). Cognitive radio can change its transmitter parameters, which makes it
desirable when interact with the environment in which it operates call for a highly reliable

sensing technique. Spectrum sensing is defined in (Raiyn, 2011b) as the task of finding spectrum
holes by sensing the radio spectrum. The term spectrum holes (Raiyn, 2009) refers to sub-bands
of the radio spectrum that are underutilized (in part or in full) at a particular instant of time and in
a specific geographic location. To be specific, the task of spectrum sensing in this paper involved
the detection of spectrum holes. The detection algorithm was based on an exponential moving
average. Environmental sensing is needed for cognitive radio to update its local information.
Hence, the cognitive radio reassigns dynamic resources to decrease the call-blocking rate. Figure
6(a-c) illustrates the demand for resources in a heavy traffic load during peak hours.

2.5 Evaluation of forecasting performance
A short-term forecasting scheme was used to manage dynamic resources under abnormal
conditions (Toledo at. al.2012, 2014). This section evaluates and analyses forecasting scheme-
based traffic data. The information was collected via mobile phone service. Based on the WEKA
platform, we analysed and compared different prediction schemes, as illustrated in Figure 7. The
WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is a platform that includes machine-
learning algorithms for data-mining services. It contains tools for data pre-processing,
classification, regression, clustering, association rules and visualization. We have used the
WEKA to make comparisons between the following schemes:
i. smoothed linear models (LM)
ii. tree decisions (TD)
iii. the nearest-neighbor classifier scheme (NN).
Figure 7: Knowledge flowchart.
In addition, we used Matlab to evaluate forecasting scheme performance. The comparison
focused on various statistical measurements of error: mean absolute error (MAE), root mean
squared error (RMSE), relative absolute error (RAE) and root relative squared error (RRSE)
(Toledo, 2012). Table 1 shows a general comparison between information collected via cellular
mobile service and information received by sensors. The results of the quality measurements are
summarized in Tables 1-3. Table 3 illustrates that the Nearest Neighbor Scheme offers the
clearest and best results compared to the linear model and tree decision schemes.

A. Traffic flow management
Various travel flow management strategies have been introduced to reduce traffic congestion. The
moving average scheme offers best results compared to other forecasting schemes. In this section,
we introduce the smoothed moving average scheme for managing traffic flow. However, we
distinguish between three main kinds of moving average: the simple moving average (SMA)
(Toledo, 2012), the weighted moving average (WMA) (Toledo, 2014) and the exponential
moving average (EMA) (Toledo, 2014). A simple moving average is the unweighted mean of the
previous data points in the time series. A weighted moving average is a weighted mean of the
previous data points in the time series; this average is more responsive to recent movements than
a simple moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average (EMA) is an exponentially
weighted mean of previous data points; it can be expressed as a proportional percentage:
( ) )1(1)()( −∗−+∗= tttttttttF
αα (2)
where ttF
(t) is the travel time forecast at time t, ∝ is the smoothing parameter, and 0 ≤∝≤ 1.
Alpha determines how responsive a forecast is to sudden jumps and drops. It is the percentages
weight given to the prior period, and the remainder is distributed to other historic periods (Raiyn,
2011b). The advantage of all exponential smoothing methods lies in their assigning less weight to
past cases than recent ones.
The EMA forecasting model offers impressive forecasting performance compared to actual
observations, as illustrated in Figure 8. The moving average scheme yields good results. Table 4
compares the weight factors for an exponentially smoothed, four-month moving average, using a
simple moving average that weights every week equally, and a weighted moving average.

3. CONCLUSION
Various prediction schemes have been proposed to manage traffic flow. In order to select the best
prediction strategy, we analysed and compared different forecasting schemes. In this paper, we
have introduced various forecasting schemes based on historical data. Furthermore, we have
discussed and summarized some prediction methods based on an analysis of their performance.
We conclude that using the exponential moving average is the most accurate method when few
data are available. To handle the growth of massively multi-users of UE’s, a self-optimized,
cognitive radio resource allocation scheme based on environment sensing is needed.
