Effective Capacity of Buffer-Aided Full-Duplex Relay Systems with Selection Relaying

In this work, the achievable rate of three-node relay systems with selection relaying under statistical delay constraints, imposed on the limitations of the maximum end-to-end delay violation probabilities, is investigated. It is assumed that there are queues of infinite size at both the source and relay node, and the source can select the relay or destination for data reception. Given selection relaying policy, the effective bandwidth of the arrival processes of the queue at the relay is derived. Then, the maximum constant arrival rate can be identified as the maximum effective capacity as a function of the statistical end-to-end queueing delay constraints, signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) at the source and relay, the fading distributions of the links, and the relay policy. Subsequently, a relay policy that incorporates the statistical delay constraints is proposed. It is shown that the proposed relay policy can achieve better performance than existing protocols. Moreover, it is demonstrated that buffering relay model can still help improve the throughput of relay systems in the presence of statistical delay constraints and source-destination link.

Broadbeam for Massive MIMO Systems

Massive MIMO has been identified as one of the promising disruptive air interface techniques to address the huge capacity requirement demanded by 5G wireless communications. For practical deployment of such systems, the control message need to be broadcast to all users reliably in the cell using broadbeam. A broadbeam is expected to have the same radiated power in all directions to cover users in any place in a cell. In this paper, we will show that there is no perfect broadbeam. Therefore, we develop a method for generating broadbeam that can allow tiny fluctuations in radiated power. Overall, this can serve as an ingredient for practical deployment of the massive MIMO systems.

Effective Capacity of Two-Hop Wireless Communication Systems

A two-hop wireless communication link in which a source sends data to a destination with the aid of an intermediate relay node is studied. It is assumed that there is no direct link between the source and the destination, and the relay forwards the information to the destination by employing the decode-and-forward scheme. Both the source and intermediate relay nodes are assumed to operate under statistical quality of service (QoS) constraints imposed as limitations on the buffer overflow probabilities. The maximum constant arrival rates that can be supported by this two-hop link in the presence of QoS constraints are characterized by determining the effective capacity of such links as a function of the QoS parameters and signal-to-noise ratios at the source and relay, and the fading distributions of the links. The analysis is performed for both full-duplex and half-duplex relaying. Through this study, the impact upon the throughput of having buffer constraints at the source and intermediate relay nodes is identified. The interactions between the buffer constraints in different nodes and how they affect the performance are studied. The optimal time-sharing parameter in half-duplex relaying is determined, and performance with half-duplex relaying is investigated.

Secure Wireless Communication and Optimal Power Control under Statistical Queueing Constraints

In this paper, secure transmission of information over fading broadcast channels is studied in the presence of statistical queueing constraints. Effective capacity is employed as a performance metric to identify the secure throughput of the system, i.e., effective secure throughput. It is assumed that perfect channel side information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the receivers. Initially, the scenario in which the transmitter sends common messages to two receivers and confidential messages to one receiver is considered. For this case, effective secure throughput region, which is the region of constant arrival rates of common and confidential messages that can be supported by the buffer-constrained transmitter and fading broadcast channel, is defined. It is proven that this effective throughput region is convex. Then, the optimal power control policies that achieve the boundary points of the effective secure throughput region are investigated and an algorithm for the numerical computation of the optimal power adaptation schemes is provided. Subsequently, the special case in which the transmitter sends only confidential messages to one receiver, is addressed in more detail. For this case, effective secure throughput is formulated and two different power adaptation policies are studied. In particular, it is noted that opportunistic transmission is no longer optimal under buffer constraints and the transmitter should not wait to send the data at a high rate until the main channel is much better than the eavesdropper channel.

Channel Coding over Multiple Coherence Blocks with Queueing Constraints

This paper investigates the performance of wireless systems that employ finite-blocklength channel codes for transmission and operate under queueing constraints in the form of limitations on buffer overflow probabilities. A block fading model, in which fading stays constant in each coherence block and change independently between blocks, is considered. It is assumed that channel coding is performed over multiple coherence blocks. An approximate lower bound on the transmission rate is obtained from Feintein's Lemma. This lower bound is considered as the service rate and is incorporated into the effective capacity formulation, which characterizes the maximum constant arrival rate that can be supported under statistical queuing constraints. Performances of variable-rate and fixed-rate transmissions are studied. The optimum error probability for variable rate transmission and the optimum coding rate for fixed rate transmission are shown to be unique. Moreover, the tradeoff between the throughput and the number of blocks over which channel coding is performed is identified.

On the Effective Capacity of Two-Hop Communication Systems

In this paper, two-hop communication between a source and a destination with the aid of an intermediate relay node is considered. Both the source and intermediate relay node are assumed to operate under statistical quality of service (QoS) constraints imposed as limitations on the buffer overflow probabilities. It is further assumed that the nodes send the information at fixed power levels and have perfect channel side information. In this scenario, the maximum constant arrival rates that can be supported by this two-hop link are characterized by finding the effective capacity. Through this analysis, the impact upon the throughput of having buffer constraints at the source and intermediate-hop nodes is identified.

Transmission Strategies in Multiple Access Fading Channels with Statistical QoS Constraints

Effective capacity, which provides the maximum constant arrival rate that a given service process can support while satisfying statistical delay constraints, is analyzed in a multiuser scenario. In particular, the effective capacity region of fading multiple access channels (MAC) in the presence of quality of service (QoS) constraints is studied. Perfect channel side information (CSI) is assumed to be available at both the transmitters and the receiver. It is initially assumed the transmitters send the information at a fixed power level and hence do not employ power control policies. Under this assumption, the performance achieved by superposition coding with successive decoding techniques is investigated. It is shown that varying the decoding order with respect to the channel states can significantly increase the achievable throughput region. In the two-user case, the optimal decoding strategy is determined for the scenario in which the users have the same QoS constraints. The performance of orthogonal transmission strategies is also analyzed. It is shown that for certain QoS constraints, time-division multiple-access (TDMA) can achieve better performance than superposition coding if fixed successive decoding order is used at the receiver side. In the subsequent analysis, power control policies are incorporated into the transmission strategies. The optimal power allocation policies for any fixed decoding order over all channel states are identified. For a given variable decoding order strategy, the conditions that the optimal power control policies must satisfy are determined, and an algorithm that can be used to compute these optimal policies is provided.

Secure Communication over Fading Channels with Statistical QoS Constraints

In this paper, the secure transmission of information over an ergodic fading channel is investigated in the presence of statistical quality of service (QoS) constraints. We employ effective capacity, which provides the maximum constant arrival rate that a given process can support while satisfying statistical delay constraints, to measure the secure throughput of the system, i.e., effective secure throughput. We assume that the channel side information (CSI) of the main channel is available at the transmitter side. Depending on the availability of the CSI of the eavesdropper channel, we obtain the corresponding optimal power control policies that maximize the effective secure throughput. In particular, when the CSI of the eavesdropper channel is available at the transmitter, the transmitter can no longer wait for transmission when the main channel is much better than the eavesdropper channel due to the introduction of QoS constraints. Moreover, the CSI of the eavesdropper channel becomes useless as QoS constraints become stringent.

Secure Broadcasting over Fading Channels with Statistical QoS Constraints

In this paper, the fading broadcast channel with confidential messages is studied in the presence of statistical quality of service (QoS) constraints in the form of limitations on the buffer length. We employ the effective capacity formulation to measure the throughput of the confidential and common messages. We assume that the channel side information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the receivers. Assuming average power constraints at the transmitter side, we first define the effective secure throughput region, and prove that the throughput region is convex. Then, we obtain the optimal power control policies that achieve the boundary points of the effective secure throughput region.

On the Achievable Throughput Region of Multiple-Access Fading Channels with QoS Constraints

Effective capacity, which provides the maximum constant arrival rate that a given service process can support while satisfying statistical delay constraints, is analyzed in a multiuser scenario. In particular, we study the achievable effective capacity region of the users in multiaccess fading channels (MAC) in the presence of quality of service (QoS) constraints. We assume that channel side information (CSI) is available at both the transmitters and the receiver, and superposition coding technique with successive decoding is used. When the power is fixed at the transmitters, we show that varying the decoding order with respect to the channel state can significantly increase the achievable throughput region. For a two-user case, we obtain the optimal decoding strategy when the users have the same QoS constraints. Meanwhile, it is shown that time-division multiple-access (TDMA) can achieve better performance than superposition coding with fixed successive decoding order at the receiver side for certain QoS constraints. For power and rate adaptation, we determine the optimal power allocation policy with fixed decoding order at the receiver side. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate our results.

Energy Efficiency in the Low-SNR Regime under Queueing Constraints and Channel Uncertainty

Energy efficiency of fixed-rate transmissions is studied in the presence of queueing constraints and channel uncertainty. It is assumed that neither the transmitter nor the receiver has channel side information prior to transmission. The channel coefficients are estimated at the receiver via minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) estimation with the aid of training symbols. It is further assumed that the system operates under statistical queueing constraints in the form of limitations on buffer violation probabilities. The optimal fraction of power allocated to training is identified. Spectral efficiency--bit energy tradeoff is analyzed in the low-power and wideband regimes by employing the effective capacity formulation. In particular, it is shown that the bit energy increases without bound in the low-power regime as the average power vanishes. A similar conclusion is reached in the wideband regime if the number of noninteracting subchannels grow without bound with increasing bandwidth. On the other hand, it is proven that if the number of resolvable independent paths and hence the number of noninteracting subchannels remain bounded as the available bandwidth increases, the bit energy diminishes to its minimum value in the wideband regime. For this case, expressions for the minimum bit energy and wideband slope are derived. Overall, energy costs of channel uncertainty and queueing constraints are identified, and the impact of multipath richness and sparsity is determined.

The Impact of QoS Constraints on the Energy Efficiency of Fixed-Rate Wireless Transmissions

Transmission over wireless fading channels under quality of service (QoS) constraints is studied when only the receiver has channel side information. Being unaware of the channel conditions, transmitter is assumed to send the information at a fixed rate. Under these assumptions, a two-state (ON-OFF) transmission model is adopted, where information is transmitted reliably at a fixed rate in the ON state while no reliable transmission occurs in the OFF state. QoS limitations are imposed as constraints on buffer violation probabilities, and effective capacity formulation is used to identify the maximum throughput that a wireless channel can sustain while satisfying statistical QoS constraints. Energy efficiency is investigated by obtaining the bit energy required at zero spectral efficiency and the wideband slope in both wideband and low-power regimes assuming that the receiver has perfect channel side information (CSI). In both wideband and low-power regimes, the increased energy requirements due to the presence of QoS constraints are quantified. Comparisons with variable-rate/fixed-power and variable-rate/variable-power cases are given. Energy efficiency is further analyzed in the presence of channel uncertainties. The optimal fraction of power allocated to training is identified under QoS constraints. It is proven that the minimum bit energy in the low-power regime is attained at a certain nonzero power level below which bit energy increases without bound with vanishing power.

Analysis of Energy Efficiency in Fading Channels under QoS Constraints

Energy efficiency in fading channels in the presence of Quality of Service (QoS) constraints is studied. Effective capacity, which provides the maximum arrival rate that a wireless channel can sustain while satisfying statistical QoS constraints, is considered. Spectral efficiency--bit energy tradeoff is analyzed in the low-power and wideband regimes by employing the effective capacity formulation, rather than the Shannon capacity. Through this analysis, energy requirements under QoS constraints are identified. The analysis is conducted under two assumptions: perfect channel side information (CSI) available only at the receiver and perfect CSI available at both the receiver and transmitter. In particular, it is shown in the low-power regime that the minimum bit energy required under QoS constraints is the same as that attained when there are no such limitations. However, this performance is achieved as the transmitted power vanishes. Through the wideband slope analysis, the increased energy requirements at low but nonzero power levels in the presence of QoS constraints are determined. A similar analysis is also conducted in the wideband regime, and minimum bit energy and wideband slope expressions are obtained. In this regime, the required bit energy levels are found to be strictly greater than those achieved when Shannon capacity is considered. Overall, a characterization of the energy-bandwidth-delay tradeoff is provided.
