On the Performance Optimization of Two-way Hybrid VLC/RF based IoT System over Cellular Spectrum

Abstract

This paper investigates the system outage performance of a useful architecture of two-way hybrid visible light communication/radio frequency (VLC/RF) communication using overlay mode of cooperative cognitive radio network (CCRN). The demand of high data rate application can be fulfilled using VLC link and communication over a wide area of coverage with high reliability can be achieved through RF link. In the proposed architecture, cooperative communication between two licensed user (LU) nodes is accomplished via an aggregation agent (AA). AA can perform like a relay node and in return, it can access the LU spectrum for two-way communications with Internet-of-Things (IoT) device. First, closed form expressions of outage probability of both LU and IoT communication are established. On the basis of these expressions, optimization problems are formulated to achieve minimum outage probability of both LU and IoT network. The impacts of both VLC and RF system parameters on these systems outage probability and throughput are finally shown in simulation results.

Decoding Delay Guarantees of Space Regulated Multiple Access Random Wireless Networks using Successive Interference Cancellation

This paper is focused on decoding delay guarantees in wireless networks, where messages have a given signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio threshold $η_0$ to meet in order to be successfully decoded, and where transmissions should occur within some strict time constraints. Its main contribution consists in quantifying the worst-case transmissions decoding delays in the uplink of cellular and cell-free networks using successive interference cancellation. We show how such decoding delay guarantees can be obtained using spatial network calculus, a new tool introduced recently, and in particular spatial regulation. The results rely on the assumption of absence of fading. We nevertheless outline what this approach will lead to in the fading case for cellular networks.

Toward Composable Network Digital Twins: A Subgraph-Based Latency Prediction Study

Modern networks must support changing topologies, configurations, and performance objectives, motivating fast and reliable performance estimation. Network digital twins (NDTs) enable what-if analysis for performance estimation in such network scenarios, however, existing machine learning-based NDT approaches often rely on entire topology representations, which are inherently monolithic and lack reusability under topological or traffic changes in the network. This paper introduces a composable NDT approach that decomposes networks into subgraphs represented by reusable unit twins that capture subgraph structure, configuration and traffic behaviours. A lightweight composer aggregates unit twin combinations to create NDTs that predict per-route end-to-end latency through an overall topology. Evaluation across controlled synthetic topologies and diverse traffic scenarios, real-world Topology Zoo topologies, and a public NDT challenge dataset demonstrates that the composable NDTs achieve high in-distribution accuracy while remaining stable under out-of-distribution scenarios. Comparison with monolithic full topology NDTs demonstrates that our composable approach achieves reusability, while achieving comparable or superior accuracy.

Pattern-Aware Virtual Network Embedding Optimization for Cloud Data Centers

The network virtualization (NV) technology has enabled the sharing of multiple resources among virtual networks (VNs) in cloud data centers. One of the key challenges is to allocate resources in real-time for virtual network request (VNR), which is known as online virtual network embedding (VNE). However, the existing online VNE methods do not exploit the multi-dimensional complementary relationship among diverse VNRs, resulting in the fragmentation and waste of substrate resources. In this paper, we propose the pattern matching based online VNE approach by constructing appropriate matching rules among observed patterns to maximize resources utilization. We devise the clustering based VNRs quantization method and conduct rigorous study on the pattern combination filtering problem. Then, we utilize the column generation to solve it and construct the pattern matching rules. Based on the rules, we propose an online pattern matching VNE algorithm with linear worst-case complexity. Evaluation on a 106-server testbed using Alibaba production cluster trace dataset shows that our algorithm achieves close-to-offline performance and more accepted workloads that outperforms traditional designs by 25%-30%.
