So near, and yet so far: Managing 'far-away' interferers in dense femto-cell networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We expect femto-cells to be massively and densely deployed in the future. Numerous existing works on femto-cell interference management assume that the local topology of interfering femto-cells can be sufficiently approximated through sensing, if not already known in advance. We show that this assumption results in poor throughput performance in dense femto-cell networks. For some cell-edge users, using conventional sensing in dense deployments can result in almost 50 times less instantaneous throughput, as compared to having oracular knowledge of interference topology. This sub-optimality is caused by “far-away” interferers. These are femto-cells that are deployed just far enough such that their presence will not be detected by conventional sensing. We then introduce a mobile sensing scheme to detect these “faraway” interferers by exploiting the inherent mobility of femto-cell users. We show through packet-level simulation that this sensing scheme is able to better approximate the interference topology. This results in significantly improved performance over conventional sensing, in dense deployment scenarios.

Cell based therapies in retinal diseases
Background Degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. The principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. To briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among ...

Cellular networks are reaching their physical limits providing capacity that is almost near the Shannon theory. However, cellular usage is still increasing exponentially with hungry applications demanding higher data rates. As a result, designers are facing significant challenge in meeting the required demands. One promising solutions, being fostered by the 3GPP, is to increase the spectral eff...

But what about high dimensions? What is the density of the points near the mean? And how far away is the average point from it’s component mean? Let us address this questions for a single isotropic Gaussian distribution. First, note that E[‖x‖] = nσ. Hence, on average, we expect a point to be rather far from mean, but let us quantify this. Recall, that the distribution of ‖x‖ is a χn distributi...
