Cross-Layer Rate Control and Resource Allocation in Spectrum-Sharing OFDMA Small-Cell Networks With Delay Constraints

Cross-Layer Rate Control and Resource Allocation in Spectrum-Sharing OFDMA Small-Cell Networks With Delay Constraints Abstract: In this paper, we present a dynamic resource management scheme for delay-aware applications in two-tier small-cell networks (SCNs). We propose the scheme of joint rate control at the transport layer and resource allocation at the physical layer to manage the […]


Coalition Formation and Spectrum Sharing of cooperative Spectrum Sensing Participants

Coalition Formation and Spectrum Sharing of cooperative Spectrum Sensing Participants Abstract: In cognitive radio networks, self-interested secondary users (SUs) desire to maximize their own throughput. They compete with each other for transmit time once the absence of primary users (PUs) is detected. To satisfy the requirement of PU protection, on the other hand, they have […]
