Buffer-aided multiple-antenna relay technology can provide the 5G communication system with wide coverage,and improve the system throughput performance effectively.A three-node multiple-antenna buffer-aided relay system was investigated and thus an optimal buffer-aided relay strategy,namely joint adaptive link selection and power allocation protocol,which maximizes the average throughput of system was proposed.The analytical results indicate that the optimal link selection policy depends only on the current instantaneous channel state information and the statistical channel information of related links,and the optimal power allocation scheme has equal power allocation for the transmitted data flows.The simulation results show that buffer used in relay could significantly improve the throughput of relay system compared to the relay system without buffer.In addition,the MIMO technique can achieve the multiplexing gain by multiple antennas,and then improve the throughput of buffer-aided relay system further.

Ultra-dense wireless heterogeneous network (Ud-HetNet) has been recognized as one of the most promising 5G network-organization techniques to significantly improve the wireless capacity and thus solve the 1 000× data challenge faced by cellular networks.However,counter to the expected 5G vision,although benefiting from the spectrum efficiency (SE) improvement,ultra-dense network deployment significantly increases system energy consumption and thus decreases network energy efficiency (EE).The key theories and techniques for energy-efficiently deploying Ud-HetNet were investigated from two aspects of macroscopic network matching and microscopic resource aggregation by exploiting their overall network management capabilities and network diversity effects.Specifically,the overall design guidelines for green evolution were introduced firstly,and then three techniques,namely load-aware base station on/off switching,proactive caching,and interference-aware cross-network resource allocation,were proposed to improve the network EE.Open issues and challenges that need to be further explored were also discussed.

In data center networks,virtual machine live migration causes large volume of data transfer on core links of the network,which leads to performance degradation of the baring application and other background services.Based on inheriting the existing memory page de-duplication technique,a new search structure was presented composed of a counting Bloom filter with each bucket pointing to a link list,which overcame the problem of false positive of memory page lookup.Furthermore,a pruned algorithm was proposed to reduce the length of each link list and accelerate the lookup as much as possible to accomplish live and fast virtual machine migration in rack level.Experiment results show that the proposed method transfers less data on core links,takes less time to finish migration,and decreases the degradation of network applications caused by migration.
