Title:
Utility-based Routing and its Application in Dynamic Wireless Networks
Abstract:
A paramount concern in dynamic wireless networks is efficient utilization of limited resources. The dynamic nature of wireless networks makes it difficult use limited resources in a cost-efficient way. The traditional single utility model, such as link quality, is inadequate for addressing this problem. In this talk, we discuss a composite utility model and use the routing problem in dynamic wireless networks as its application. Specifically, we integrate cost and link quality into a single network utility metric together with the benefit of successful delivery of a routing packet to evaluate routing optimality. An efficient algorithm design, both centralized and distributed, is presented. Finally, several extensions to the basic model are discussed.

Title:
Cognitive Radio Enabled TD-LTE System: Key Technologies and Testbed
Abstract:
Considering the increasing demands for high data rate services and more spectrum resources for future wireless network, the cognitive radio (CR) technologies has been proposed to improve the efficient usage of TV white spaces based on spectrum sensing, dynamic spectrum management and reconfiguration abilities. Take into account the scattered vacant spectrum resources, an efficient and flexible method is chose to use the TDD based LTE system standard. Therefore, key technologies for the CR enabled TD-LTE system are designed and described briefly in this speech, including the coexistence issue of TV and TD-LTE systems, the joint spectrum sensing and geo-location database techniques and etc. Moreover, the testbed for CR enabled TD-LTE system has been designed and introduced with protocol and signaling modifications, which is based on the advanced software-defined radio platform. At last, demo scenarios of the proposed testbed are also briefly described in BUPT campus.

Title:
In-building distributed antenna systems for high data rate wireless communications
Abstract:
Providing high data rate wireless mobile services has been a challenge, particularly in multi-floor buildings. One way to achieve high data rates in this environment is to reduce the radio transmission distance between the transmitter and the receiver. In-building heterogeneous networks can be realised by either distributed antenna systems (DASs) or femtocells. However, co-channel interference due to the need to reuse the limited available spectrum can severely limit the spectral efficiency and achievable data rates. In this talk, a tutorial about in-building heterogeneous networks will be given and its technical challenges will be discussed.
