In a multi-cell scenario, the inter-cell interference (ICI) is detrimental in achieving the intended system performance, in particular for the edge users. There is paucity of work available in literature on ICI coordination (ICIC) for relay-assisted cellular networks (RACN). In this paper, we do a survey on the ICIC schemes in cellular networks and RACN. We then propose a self-organized resourc...

The constant modulus (CM) criterion has become popular in the design of blind linear estimators of sub-Gaussian i.i.d. processes transmitted through unknown linear channels in the presence of unknown additive interference. The existence of CM local minima, however, makes it difficult for CM-minimizing schemes to generate estimates of the desired source (as opposed to an interferer) in multiuser...

Gossiping is one of the most crucial applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which has been the focus of many researchers. A main issue of gossiping is how to assign timeslots to nodes for interference-free data transmission. There are three models concerning gossiping in WSNs: unit-sized, bounded-sized, or unbounded-sized messages. For these models, the problem of constructing minimum ...

In this paper we are proposing a new concept in MAC layer protocol design for Cognitive radio by combining information held by physical layer and MAC layer with analytical engine based on knowledge based reasoning approach. In the proposed system a cross layer information regarding signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and received power are analyzed with help of knowledge based reasoni...

Both differentially coherent and non-coherent code acquisition schemes designed for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-aided multi-carrier (MC)-DS-CDMA downlink are analysed, when communicating over uncorrelated Rayleigh channels. The attainable mean acquisition time (MAT) performance is studied as a function of both the number of multiple transmit/multiple receive antennas and that of t...

This paper provides the signal-to-interference-plusnoise ratio (SINR) complimentary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) and average data rate of the normalized SNRbased scheduling in an uplink cellular network using stochastic geometry. The uplink analysis is essentially different from the downlink analysis in that the per-user transmit power control is performed and that the interferers ar...

Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying a cellular infrastructure has recently been proposed as a means of increasing the resource utilization, improving the user throughput and extending the battery lifetime of user equipments. In this paper we propose a new distributed power control algorithm that iteratively determines the signal-to-noise-and-interference-ratio (SINR) targets in a ...

We undertake a systematic experimental study of the effects of concurrent packet transmissions in low-power wireless networks. Our measurements, conducted with Mica2 motes equipped with CC1000 radios, confirm that guaranteeing successful packet reception with high probability in the presence of concurrent transmissions requires that the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) exceed a cr...

The authors study the design of cooperative beamforming for an underlay cognitive relay network over frequency selective fading channels. The network under consideration consists of one primary link, one secondary link and relay nodes that assist the communication. It is assumed imperfect blind channel estimation, i.e. only the second order statistics – with uncertainty – of the channel gain be...

An increasing amount of attention is being turned toward the study of distributed algorithms in wireless network models based on calculations of the signal to noise and interference ratio (SINR). In this paper we introduce the ad hoc SINR model, which, we argue, reduces the gap between theory results and real world deployment. We then use it to study upper and lower bounds for the canonical pro...
