Wireless traffic attributable to machine learning (ML) inference workloads is increasing with the proliferation of applications and smart wireless devices leveraging ML inference. Owing to limited compute capabilities at these edge devices, achieving high inference accuracy often requires coordination with a remote compute node or cloud over the wireless cellular network. The accuracy of this distributed inference is, thus, impacted by the communication rate and reliability offered by the cellular network. In this paper, an analytical framework is proposed to characterize inference accuracy as a function of cellular network design. Using the developed framework, it is shown that cellular network should be provisioned with a minimum density of access points (APs) to guarantee a target inference accuracy, and the inference accuracy achievable at asymptotically high AP density is limited by the air-interface bandwidth. Furthermore, the minimum accuracy required of edge inference to deliver a target inference accuracy is shown to be inversely proportional to the density of APs and the bandwidth.

It is a great challenge to evaluate the network performance of cellular mobile communication systems. In this paper, we propose new spatial spectrum and energy efficiency models for Poisson-Voronoi tessellation (PVT) random cellular networks. To evaluate the user access the network, a Markov chain based wireless channel access model is first proposed for PVT random cellular networks. On that basis, the outage probability and blocking probability of PVT random cellular networks are derived, which can be computed numerically. Furthermore, taking into account the call arrival rate, the path loss exponent and the base station (BS) density in random cellular networks, spatial spectrum and energy efficiency models are proposed and analyzed for PVT random cellular networks. Numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the network spectrum and energy efficiency in PVT random cellular networks.
The growing demand for high-speed data, quality of service (QoS) assurance and energy efficiency has triggered the evolution of 4G LTE-A networks to 5G and beyond. Interference is still a major performance bottleneck. This paper studies the application of physical-layer network coding (PNC), a technique that exploits interference, in heterogeneous cellular networks. In particular, we propose a rate-maximising relay selection algorithm for a single cell with multiple relays based on the decode-and-forward strategy. With nodes transmitting at different powers, the proposed algorithm adapts the resource allocation according to the differing link rates and we prove theoretically that the optimisation problem is log-concave. The proposed technique is shown to perform significantly better than the widely studied selection-cooperation technique. We then undertake an experimental study on a software radio platform of the decoding performance of PNC with unbalanced SNRs in the multiple-access transmissions. This problem is inherent in cellular networks and it is shown that with channel coding and decoders based on multiuser detection and successive interference cancellation, the performance is better with power imbalance. This paper paves the way for further research in multi-cell PNC, resource allocation, and the implementation of PNC with higher-order modulations and advanced coding techniques.
Distributed storage systems provide reliable access to data through redundancy spread over individually unreliable nodes. Application scenarios include data centers, peer-to-peer storage systems, and storage in wireless networks. Storing data using an erasure code, in fragments spread across nodes, requires less redundancy than simple replication for the same level of reliability. However, since fragments must be periodically replaced as nodes fail, a key question is how to generate encoded fragments in a distributed way while transferring as little data as possible across the network. For an erasure coded system, a common practice to repair from a node failure is for a new node to download subsets of data stored at a number of surviving nodes, reconstruct a lost coded block using the downloaded data, and store it at the new node. We show that this procedure is sub-optimal. We introduce the notion of regenerating codes, which allow a new node to download emph{functions} of the stored data from the surviving nodes. We show that regenerating codes can significantly reduce the repair bandwidth. Further, we show that there is a fundamental tradeoff between storage and repair bandwidth which we theoretically characterize using flow arguments on an appropriately constructed graph. By invoking constructive results in network coding, we introduce regenerating codes that can achieve any point in this optimal tradeoff.
In this paper, we propose a transceiver architecture for full-duplex (FD) eNodeB (eNB) and FD user equipment (UE) transceiver. For FD communication,.i.e., simultaneous in-band uplink and downlink operation, same subcarriers can be allocated to UE in both uplink and downlink. Hence, contrary to traditional LTE, we propose using single-carrier frequency division multiple accesses (SC-FDMA) for downlink along with the conventional method of using it for uplink. The use of multiple antennas at eNB and singular value decomposition (SVD) in the downlink allows multiple users (MU) to operate on the same set of ubcarriers. In the uplink, successive interference cancellation with optimal ordering (SSIC-OO) algorithm is used to decouple signals of UEs operating in the same set of subcarriers. A smart antenna approach is adopted which prevents interference, in downlink of a UE, from uplink signals of other UEs sharing same subcarriers. The approach includes using multiple antennas at UEs to form directed beams towards eNode and nulls towards other UEs. The proposed architecture results in significant improvement of the overall spectrum efficiency per cell of the cellular network.
In this paper, we study the trade-off between reliability and latency in machine type communication (MTC), which consists of single transmitter and receiver in the presence of Rayleigh fading channel. We assume that the transmitter does not know the channel conditions, therefore it would be transmitting information over a fixed rate. The fixed rate transmission is modeled as a two-state continuous-time Markov process, where the optimum transmission rate is obtained. Moreover, we conduct a performance analysis for different arrival traffic originated from MTC device via effective rate transmission. We consider that the arrival traffic is modeled as a Markovian process namely Discrete-Time Markov process, Fluid Markov process, and Markov Modulated Poisson process, under delay violation constraints. Using effective bandwidth and effective capacity theories, we evaluate the trade-off between reliability-latency and identify QoS (Quality of Service) requirement, and derive lower and upper bounds for the effective capacity subject to channel memory decay rate limits.
