In a full duplexing (FD) wireless cellular network, a base station operates in FD mode, while the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) users operate in half duplexing (HD) mode. Thus, the downlink and uplink transmissions occur simultaneously so that interuser interference from a UL to a DL user occurs. In an FD network, the main challenge to minimize the interuser interference is user pairing, which determines a pair of DL and UL users who use the same radio resource simultaneously. We formulate a nonconvex optimization problem for user pairing to maximize the cell throughput. Then, we propose a heuristic user pairing algorithm with low complexity. This algorithm is designed such that the DL user having a better signal quality has higher priority to choose its paired UL user for throughput maximization. Thereafter, we conduct theoretical performance analysis of the FD cellular system based on stochastic geometry and analyze the impact of the user paring algorithm on the performance of the FD cellular system. Results show that the FD system that uses the proposed user pairing algorithm effectively reduces the interuser interference and approaches optimal performance. It also considerably outperforms the FD system using a random user pairing and almost doubles the conventional HD system in terms of cell throughput.

In a full-duplex (FD) cellular network, a base station transmits data to the downlink (DL) user and receives data from uplink (UL) users at the same time; thereby the interference from UL users to DL users occurs. One of the possible solutions to reduce this interuser interference in the FD cellular network is user pairing, which pairs a DL user with a UL user so that they use the same radio resource at the same time. In this paper, we consider a user pairing problem to minimize outage probability and formulate it as a nonconvex optimization problem. As a solution, we design a low-complexity user pairing algorithm, which first controls the UL transmit power to minimize the interuser interference and then allows the DL user having a worse signal quality to choose first its UL user giving less interference to minimize the outage probability. Then, we perform theoretical outage analysis of the FD cellular network on the basis of stochastic geometry and analyze the performance of the user pairing algorithm. Results show that the proposed user pairing significantly decreases the interuser interference and thus improves the DL outage performance while satisfying the requirement of UL signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, compared to the conventional HD mode and a random pairing. We also reveal that there is a fundamental tradeoff between the DL outage and UL outage according to the user pairing strategy (e.g., throughput maximization or outage minimization) in the FD cellular network.

Cellular based M2M systems generate massive number of access requests which create congestion in the cellular network. The contention-based random access procedures are designed for cellular networks which cannot accommodate a large number of M2M traffic. Moreover, M2M systems share same radio resources with cellular users. Resource allocation problem becomes a challenging issue in cellular M2M systems. In this thesis, we address these two problems by analyzing a contention-based slotted Aloha random access procedure for M2M networks using different performance metrics. The impact of massive M2M traffic over cellular traffic is studied based on different arrival rate, random access opportunity and throughput. An analytical model of selecting a base station (eNB) along with load balancing is developed. Finally, two methods have been presented and evaluated with M2M traffic. First one is dynamic access class barring method which controls RAN level congestion by selecting an appropriate eNB and applying load balancing method. Second one is relay-assisted radio resource allocation method which maximizes the sum throughput of the system by utilizing the available radio resource blocks and relay nodes to the MTC systems. Numerical results show that frame transmission rate influences the selection probability of the base stations. Moreover, the dynamic access class barring parameter along with frame transmission rate improve the overall throughput and access success probability among base stations as well as avoid overload situation in a particular base station.

The main challenge in MOSFET minituarization is to form an ultra-shallow source/drain (S/D) junction with high doping concentration gradient, which requires an intricate S/D and channel engineering. Junctionless MOSFET configuration is an alternative solution for this issue as the junction and doping gradients is totally eliminated. A process simulation has been developed to investigate the impact of junctionless configuration on the double-gate vertical MOSFET. The result proves that the performance of junctionless double-gate vertical MOSFETs (JLDGVM) are superior to the conventional junctioned double-gate vertical MOSFETs (JDGVM). The results reveal that the drain current (ID) of the n-JLVDGM and p-JLVDGM could be tremendously enhanced by 57% and 60% respectively as the junctionless configuration was applied to the double-gate vertical MOSFET. In addition, junctionless devices also exhibit larger ION/IOFF ratio and smaller subthreshold slope compared to the junction devices, implying that the junctionless devices have better power consumption and faster switching capability.

The skyrocketing growth in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has posed a huge traffic demand for fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond. In-band full-duplex (IBFD), which is theoretically expected to double the spectral efficiency of a half-duplex wireless channel and connect more devices, has been considered as a promising technology in order to accelerate the development of IoT. In order to exploit the full potential of IBFD, the key challenge is how to handle network interference (including self-interference, co-channel interference, and multiuser interference) more effectively. In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient user grouping method, where a base station (BS) serves strong downlink users and weak uplink users and vice versa in different frequency bands, mitigating severe network interference. First, we aim to maximize a minimum rate among all of the users subject to bandwidth and power constraints, which is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem. By leveraging the inner approximation framework, we develop a very efficient iterative algorithm for solving this problem, which guarantees at least a local optimal solution. The proposed iterative algorithm solves a simple convex program at each iteration, which can be further cast to a conic quadratic program. We then formulate the optimization problem of sum throughput maximization, which can be solved by the proposed algorithm after some slight modifications. Extensive numerical results are provided to show not only the benefit of using full-duplex radio at BS, but also the advantage of the proposed user grouping method.

Device to Device (D2D) communication in cellular networks is defined as direct communication between two mobile users without traversing the data through the base station (BS). Indoor D2D communication refers to transmission between two users within a building or in a closed space. Resource allocation is a plan for using available resources efficiently and the resources are allocated for optimal functioning of the D2D network. The algorithms for optimizing D2D network is characterized by the parameters like matching network, noise, throughput maximization and few more. In this work, our aim is to develop resource allocation algorithms for indoor D2D communication. An efficient resource allocation algorithm for device to device communication and a suitable frequency allocation technique in order to avoid call blockage should be designed. The main challenge in this work is to allocate resources to D2D users without affecting cellular users efficiency. These optimal resource allocation works efficiently and also adapt to time and location variation. The process involved in each algorithm is elaborated.

In this paper, the interplay between non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), device-to-device (D2D) communication, full-duplex (FD) technology, and cooperation networks is proposed, and a resource allocation problem is investigated. Specifically, a downlink FD cooperative NOMA-based cellular system with underlaying D2D communications is proposed, where, in each NOMA group, the strong user assists the weak user as an FD relay with imperfect self interference (SI) cancellation. In terms of reaping spectral efficiency benefits, the system sum rate is to be maximized by optimizing channel allocation. This optimization is based on quality of service (QoS) constraints of D2D pairs and cellular users (CUs), power budget of base station and strong user (cooperative phase), and successive interference cancellation (SIC) constraints. Since the maximization formulated problem is computationally challenging to be addressed, a two-sided stable many-to-one matching algorithm, based on Pareto improvement, performs sub-channel assignment. Extensive simulations are implemented to demonstrate the system performance indicated by different metrics.
