Caching Gain in Wireless Networks with Fading: A Multi-User Diversity Perspective

We consider the effect of caching in wireless networks where fading is the dominant channel effect. First, we propose a one-hop transmission strategy for cache-enabled wireless networks, which is based on exploiting multi-user diversity gain. Then, we derive a closed-form result for throughput scaling of the proposed scheme in large networks, which reveals the inherent trade-off between cache memory size and network throughput. Our results show that substantial throughput improvements are achievable in networks with sources equipped with large cache size. We also verify our analytical result through simulations.

Throughput of One-Hop Wireless Networks with Noisy Feedback Channel

In this paper, we consider the effect of feedback channel error on the throughput of one-hop wireless networks under the random connection model. The transmission strategy is based on activating source-destination pairs with strongest direct links. While these activated pairs are identified based on Channel State Information (CSI) at the receive side, the transmit side will be provided with a noisy version of this information via the feedback channel. Such error will degrade network throughput, as we investigate in this paper. Our results show that if the feedback error probability is below a given threshold, network can tolerate such error without any significant throughput loss. The threshold value depends on the number of nodes in the network and the channel fading distribution. Such analysis is crucial in design of error correction codes for feedback channel in such networks.

Throughput of Large One-hop Wireless Networks with General Fading

Consider $n$ source-destination pairs randomly located in a shared wireless medium, resulting in interference between different transmissions. All wireless links are modeled by independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables, indicating that the dominant channel effect is the random fading phenomenon. We characterize the throughput of one-hop communication in such network. First, we present a closed-form expression for throughput scaling of a heuristic strategy, for a completely general channel power distribution. This heuristic strategy is based on activating the source-destination pairs with the best direct links, and forcing the others to be silent. Then, we present the results for several common examples, namely, Gamma (Nakagami-$m$ fading), Weibull, Pareto, and Log-normal channel power distributions. Finally -- by proposing an upper bound on throughput of all possible strategies for super-exponential distributions -- we prove that the aforementioned heuristic method is order-optimal for Nakagami-$m$ fading.

One-Hop Throughput of Wireless Networks with Random Connections

We consider one-hop communication in wireless networks with random connections. In the random connection model, the channel powers between different nodes are drawn from a common distribution in an i.i.d. manner. An scheme achieving the throughput scaling of order $n^{1/3-δ}$, for any $δ>0$, is proposed, where $n$ is the number of nodes. Such achievable throughput, along with the order $n^{1/3}$ upper bound derived by Cui et al., characterizes the throughput capacity of one-hop schemes for the class of connection models with finite mean and variance.
