Saliency map demonstrates the regions where the human eye will typically focus, and the key step of proposed video assessment metrics is to generate saliency map of each frame over the video sequence. However, it remains a challenge of the accuracy of saliency detection. In this paper, a lightweight multiscale approach is presented to extract spatial and temporal attention. The final saliency map is obtained by integrating two attention models. Spatial attention modeling takes into account the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS). In temporal attention modeling, we use a novel muItiscale approach method to extract motion feature, which is based on segmentation of objects in video sequence. As the temporal pooling schemes used in existing video quality assessment are only direct average or Minkowski summation of image quality scores over the video sequence, we use a procedure which takes HVS mechanism on video sequence into account adequately. In addition, the results demonstrate that the proposed method in this paper can improve the performance of video quality metrics obviously.

The next generation wireless communication systems will combine multiple wireless access networks, thus can provide mobile users with the best services. In these heterogeneous wireless networks, vertical handoff decision plays an important role to guarantee Always Best Connected (ABC) services and seamless mobility for mobile terminals. In this paper, we first introduce a speed-adaptive system discovery scheme before vertical handoff decision, which effectively improves the update rate of the candidate networks set. Then we propose a vertical handoff decision algorithm based on fuzzy logic with a pre-handoff decision method. Compared with the traditional RSS based handoff algorithm and sole fuzzy logic based handoff algorithm, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm's performance is enhanced by reducing unnecessary handoffs, balancing the whole network resources and decreasing the probability of call blocking and dropping.

We study the transmission capacity of two overlaid wireless ad hoc networks, where a primary network and a secondary network operate in the same geographic region and share the same spectrum. The primary network has a high priority to access the spectrum and is oblivious of the presence of the secondary network while the secondary network limits its interference to the primary network by controlling the density of its transmitters. Assuming the primary transmitter nodes are distributed as a Poisson point process and the secondary transmitter nodes are distributed as a Matern cluster process, we present an upper and a lower bounds for the transmission capacity of the primary network and that of the secondary network. Numerical results show that the transmission capacity of the primary network and that of the secondary network have a small increment due to the inhomogeneity of the secondary network.

In traditional cellular networks, User Equipments (UEs) always connect to the strongest Base Station (BS), which offers either the maximum Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) or the best Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP). However, in heterogeneous networks, due to a large difference of transmit power between macrocells and low power nodes, the user association methods mentioned above may lead to unbalance of user distribution between the two kinds of BSs. The goal of our research is to balance the user association between macrocells and picocells while maintain the network performance. We solve the user association problem by introducing the topological potential between UEs and BSs, from which both the channel condition and the number of severing UEs in each cell are considered. Since maximizing the topological potential in network-wide is NP-hard, a heuristic method is proposed to reach a suboptimal. Finally, the tradeoff between association fairness and network throughput is discussed via system level simulation, and a better fairness user association is given compared to the range expansion method in the same condition of network throughput.

Femtocell is a promising cost-effective technology for enhancing indoor coverage with high-rate data. However, femtocell base station (FBS) is controlled by terminal users, the bursty interference caused by femtocell will greatly degrade the Quality of Service (QoS) of macrocell users (MUEs), and even cause their communication interrupt. To address this problem, this paper investigates a suite of distributed power control algorithm with active link protection in two-tier femtocell networks. First, MUE collects the pilot signal power strength of FBSs at predetermined time interval to judge the presence of nearby femtocells. Second, MUE chooses an access channel (AC), and then initializes the protection margin of the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and transmitted power for this AC according to the above judgment. Finally, MUE and femtocell users (FUEs) update their transmitted power synchronously by the modified distributed power control based on active link protection (DPC/ALP) algorithm to maintain their QoS. Numerical examples show that the proposed scheme can be effectively applied in two-tier femtocell networks, and provide an acceptable admission speed and an effective QoS protection for both MUEs and FUEs.

As a novel branch of widely used Wi-Fi technology, IEEE 802.11n has improved its maximum data rate to 600Mbps, which makes the transmission of high-definition video possible. Although many techniques have been adopted to maximize data rate for high definition(HD) video transmission, very few researches keep an eye on video distortion in parallel with proper data rate. In this paper, we present a cross-layer optimization scheme for HD video transmission based on IEEE 802.11n, which can adaptively adjust quantization parameter (QP) on video coding layer (VCL) and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) on PHY to minimize the received video distortion. Simulation results prove that the proposed scheme can select a proper QP and MCS for a given SNR and obviously improve the quality of the received video in terms of PSNR.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of medium access control in 60GHz mmWave directional wireless networks, and propose an adaptive STDMA scheduling scheme for throughput enhancement. By taking advantage of directivity in millimeter-wave communication, the proposed adaptive STDMA scheduling scheme allocates a single TDMA time-slot to multiple communication links simultaneously for throughput enhancement. The co-channel interference (CCI) among links is considered in adaptive scheduling process, and related MAC design is presented in detail. We evaluate the scheduling scheme through MATLAB simulations, and compare it with existing scheduling algorithm. The results show that the proposed scheduling scheme achieves higher throughput than the existing algorithm.

Virtual network mapping provides a promising way to solve the ossification of current Internet. Mapping multiple virtual topologies onto a shared substrate network is a challenging problem. In this paper, we provide a new virtual network embedding algorithm based on virtual topologies connection feature and introduce a node connection-degree to measure the priority of the alternative physical nodes. Using the node connection-degree based on the virtual topologies feature, we can select nodes which are closer to each other and the algorithm will be more effective. Multiple simulation results show that our new algorithm enhances the performance of the acceptance ratio, long-term revenue/cost ratio (RIC) and the runtime compared with the existing embedding algorithms.
