Recent years have witnessed tremendous success and popularity of mobile applications and services, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of mobile devices, as well as in the range and types of things these devices ...

Multiple access and transmission enhancement in support of carrier aggregation techniques has been actively studied in the 3GPP LTEAdvanced standardization process of the nextgeneration mobile broadband communication ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely applicable in monitoring and control of environment parameters. It is sometimes necessary to disseminate data through wireless links after they are deployed in order to adjust ...

Using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, battery vehicles (BVs) may help the smart grid alleviate peaks in power consumption. However, wireless communications infrastructure between BVs and the smart grid also introduce severe ...

This paper studies cooperative techniques that rely on femtocell user diversity to improve the downlink communication quality of macrocell users. We analytically derive and evaluate the achievable performance of these ...

Channel estimation error results in severe performance deterioration in wireless networks. In this paper, we study the impact of imperfect channel estimation (ICE) on the outage performance of bidirectional relaying where ...

Mobile cloud is a new emerging technology which can be used to enable users to enjoy abundant multimedia applications in a pervasive computing environment. Therefore, the scheduling of massive multimedia flows with ...

Compressive sensing (CS) provides a new paradigm for efficient data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, with the assumption that sensor data is sparse we apply the theory of CS to data gathering ...

BitTorrent (BT) is a widely-used peer-to-peer (P2P) application. Most of BT's characteristics (except the topology) have been studied extensively by measurement approaches. In this paper, we deploy a measurement system to ...

Most existing Quality of Experience (QoE)-driven multimedia resource allocation methods assume that the QoE model of each user is known to the controller before the start of the multimedia playout. However, this assumption ...
