Collaborative spectrum sensing (CSS) has been shown to be able to highly improve the performance of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. However, most existing works focused on either centralized approaches that rely on a global fusion center, thus requiring significant overhead, or on distributed approaches that rely on disjoint coalitions of secondary users (SUs) in which an SU can only cooperate with a single, selected coalition, hence limiting the performance gains of CSS. In this paper, a novel, coalition-based approach to CSS is proposed in which an SU can share its sensing results with more than one coalition. The problem is formulated using a novel class of cooperative games, known as overlapping coalitional games, which enables the SUs to decide, in a distributed manner, on the number of coalitions in which they wish to cooperate, depending on the associated benefit and cost tradeoffs. To solve this game, a novel, distributed algorithm is proposed using which the SUs can self-organize into a stable overlapping coalitional structure. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm significantly improves the performance in terms of both the average probability of misdetection and the convergence time, relative to the noncooperative case and the state-of-art cooperative CSS with non-overlapping coalitions.

Among all SLAs(Service Level Agreements) about network resources in the cloud, a critical problem would be achieving bandwidth guarantee under all communication environment (e.g., when misbehaved VMs exist) while keeping acceptable bandwidth utility and system scalability. In this paper, we present an architecture of dynamic bandwidth allocation and guarantee on resource fairness, to provide network performance isolation and protocol independent bandwidth guarantees. In this paper, we first discuss the business model of bandwidth guarantee for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud, and a bandwidth allocation algorithm based on redefined fairness model is proposed and realized under the novel architecture, and finally experiment shows satisfying results under various communication scenarios.

We study the effect of radio signal shadowing dynamics, caused by vehicles and by buildings, on the performance of beaconing protocols in Inter-Vehicular communication (IVC). Recent research indicates that beaconing, i.e., one hop message broadcast, shows excellent characteristics and can outperform other communication approaches for both safety and efficiency applications, which require low latency and wide area information dissemination, respectively. We show how shadowing dynamics of moving obstacles hurt IVC, reducing the performance of beaconing protocols. At the same time, shadowing also limits the risk of overloading the wireless channel. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study identifying the problems and resulting possibilities of such dynamic radio shadowing. We demonstrate how these challenges and opportunities can be taken into account and outline a novel approach to dynamic beaconing. It provides low-latency communication (i.e., very short beaconing intervals), while ensuring not to overload the wireless channel. The presented simulation results substantiate our theoretical considerations.

It is very important to reduce the energy consumption of low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoders, especially for the intelligent and mobile terminals in green communications. This paper presents a novel energy-efficient layered decoder (EELD) to save the power consumption of quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) decoders based on the layered belief propagation (LBP) algorithm. The EELD forces a check-node process into asleep, when all the reliabilities of its neighboring variable nodes exceed the lazy threshold. The EELD also adopts the lower limit of the beliefs, rather than all the beliefs, of the neighboring variable nodes to compare with the lazy threshold in order to decide the state of check-node process. The EELD can skip the useless check-node processes to save energy consumption with slight additional complexity. Simulation results show that the EELD can improve the power efficiencies of the decoders by up to 28% for WiMAX codes without loss of error performances.

In this paper, we demonstrate six types of metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) by measuring their absorptivities in an X-band (8 12 GHz) rectangular waveguide. Some of the MMAs have been demonstrated previously by using the free space measurement method, and the others are proposed firstly in this paper. The measured results show that all of the six MMAs exhibit high absorptivities above 98%, which have similar absorbing characteristics to those measured in the free space. The numerically obtained surface current densities for each MMA show that the absorbing mechanism is the same as that under the free space conditions. Such a demonstration method is superior to the conventional free space measurement method due to the small-scale test samples required, the simple measure device, and its low cost. Most importantly, the proposed method opens a way to enable MMAs to be used in microwave applications such as matched terminations.
