Geographic Routing with Cooperation for Reliable Paths in Device-to-Device Networks

In this paper, we introduce a novel geographic routing with cooperation scheme for 5G Device-to-Device ad hoc networks. The prime focus of our scheme (coined Cooperative Routing for Reliable Paths (CRRP)) is to enhance the routing performance in cooperative communication networks in terms of the path length and reliability. In particular, it introduces novel algorithms for cooperative relay and

Proactive Caching for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks Using the City Model

Caching at Roadside Units (RSUs) is a promising technique to alleviate the load on network backhaul in Vehicular AdHoc Networks (VANETs). It also allows us to minimize communications latency between RSUs and connected vehicles, which are interested in massive multimedia contents. This work proposes novel proactive caching schemes at RSUs for the city mobility environment. We adopt the Manhattan

Impact of Temporally Correlated Nakagami-m Interferers in D2D Cache-Aided Networks

In this paper, we exploit tools from stochastic geometry to characterize the average probability of successful content delivery in a cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) network under Nakagami- m fading. Specifically, we focus on the impact of temporal interference correlation due to erroneous packets retransmissions. The aggregate network interference is characterized under a slotted Aloha scheme

Hierarchical proactive caching for vehicular ad hoc networks

Recently, emerging vehicular applications are increasing the demand of vehicles which form significant burdens on network backhaul and represents a cause to the quality of experience (QoE) decay of the vehicular users. Proactive caching is a promising technique to mitigate the load on core networks by caching some of the expected data items. This work proposes a hierarchical proactive caching

Content Delivery in Mobility-Aware D2D Caching Networks

The massive data exchange between base stations and network backhaul creates a strong overhead on mobile networks, especially at peak times. This motivates researchers to think about the proactive caching concept which depends mainly on caching some of the expected data items during off-peak times. The caching problem consists of two distinct phases, placement phase and delivery phase. In this

Towards optimal resource allocation in caching at relay networks

We investigate the performance of caching in relay networks where an intermediate relay station (RS) caches content for future demand by end users. With uncertain user demand over multiple data items and dynamically changing wireless links, we characterize the optimal transmission time for serving data items, cached data portion allocation of relay station and optimal service portion, which

Optimal resource allocation for green and clustered video sensor networks

Wireless video sensor networks (WVSNs) are opening the door for many applications, such as industrial surveillance, environmental tracking, border security, and infrastructure health monitoring. In WVSN, energy conservation is very essential because: 1) sensors are usually battery-operated and 2) each sensor node needs to compress the video prior to transmission, which consumes more power than

Cache-aided fog radio access networks with partial connectivity

Centralized coded caching and delivery is studied for a partially-connected fog radio access network (F-RAN), whereby a set of H edge nodes (ENs) (without caches), connected to a cloud server via orthogonal fronthaul links, serve K users over the wireless edge. The cloud server is assumed to hold a library of N files, each of size F bits; and each user, equipped with a cache of size MF bits, is

Proactive power allocation and caching node selection for regular service guarantees

This paper studies the potential of proactive resource allocation to prolong the communication sessions in networks with limited energy budgets and stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirement, particularly a regular service guarantee. A threshold-based proactive communication policy is proposed to minimize the consumed transmission energy and maximize the network lifetime based on the different

Soft-sensing CQI feedback-based access scheme in cognitive radio networks

In this paper, an access scheme for cognitive radio networks is proposed in which secondary users (SUs) make use of the primary user(s) (PUs) channel quality feedback information. SUs decide their transmission strategy based on the PUs' channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback available in the PU network and the SUs' sensing of PUs' activity. We consider two energy sensing approaches, namely, hard
