Infostation overlays in cellular systems

چکیده
From the idea of using an array of isolated wireless ports called Infostations, we consider the use of existing cellular infrastructure as the location for these Infostations. The coverage area of Infostations, though, will be smaller than the cell area. We determine the worst-case SIR as a function of the coverage-radius-to-cell-radius ratio and the frequency-reuse cluster size. For specific modulation schemes, we identify desirable operating points and calculate the Infostations’ utilization.

Content-Level Selective Offloading in Heterogeneous Networks: Multi-armed Bandit Optimization and Regret Bounds
We consider content-level selective offloading of cellular downlink traffic to a wireless infostation terminal which stores high data-rate content in its cache memory. Cellular users in the vicinity of the infostation can directly download the stored content from the infostation through a broadband connection (e.g., WiFi), reducing the latency and load on the cellular network. The goal of the i...
متن کاملStatistical Information Transfer in Random Crossing of Infostation Coverage
Infostation contains a radio transceiver that provides wireless access to portable devices randomly crossing their coverage area. In this application, the size of the transferred information is a function of the travelling angle of crossing, velocity of the mobile terminal, and the data rate of the Infostation which is a function of the distance between the terminal and the Infostation. This pa...
متن کاملMobile Infostation Network Technology
Inefficient use of network resources on the battlefield is a serious liability: if an asset communicates with the network command for data—a terrain map, for instance—it ties up the end-to-end network resources. When many such assets contend for data simultaneously, traffic is limited by the slowest link along the path from the network command to the asset. A better approach is for a local serv...
متن کاملMine, mine, mine: information theory, infostation networks, and resource sharing
The Infostations wireless data network architecture features discontinuous coverage and ultra-high radio rates for burst transfers of information between base and mobile. It has been shown previously that the infostations architecture can greatly increase the capacity of wireless data systems at the expense of increased delivery delay. In this work we explicitly consider the multiple access iss...
متن کاملExploiting DataDiversity and Multiuser Diversity in Noncooperative Mobile Infostation Networks
In wireless networks, it is often assumed that all nodes cooperate to relay packets for each other. Although this is a plausible model for military or mission based networks, it is unrealistic for commercial networks and future pervasive computing environments. We address the issue of noncooperation between nodes in the context of content distribution in mobile infostation networks. We assume a...
