The energy cost of cellular networks is ever increasing to match the surge of wireless data traffic, and savings in this cost is important to reduce the operational expenditure of wireless operators in the future. Recent advancements in renewable energy integration and two-way energy flow in smart grid provide potential new solutions to save cost. However, they also impose challenges, especially on how to use the stochastically and spatially distributed renewable energy harvested at cellular BSs to reliably supply time-and space-varying wireless traffic over cellular networks. To overcome these challenges, in this article we present three approaches, energy cooperation, communication cooperation, and joint energy and communication cooperation, in which different BSs bidirectionally trade or share energy via the aggregator in smart grid, and/or share wireless resources and shift loads with each other to reduce the total energy cost.

Towards Reliable UAV Swarm Communication in D2D-Enhanced Cellular Networks

Yitao Han, Liang Liu, Lingjie Duan, Rui Zhang

Summary: In the existing cellular networks, communication and control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm with high reliability and low latency is challenging. This paper proposes a novel two-phase transmission protocol using cellular and device-to-device (D2D) communication for the UAV swarm, aiming to combat the interference from ground base stations and improve communication efficiency. The protocol involves ground-to-air channel estimation, common control message transmission, and relay through D2D communication among UAVs, achieving better reliability performance compared to other benchmark protocols.

Pricing-Driven Service Caching and Task Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing

Jia Yan, Suzhi Bi, Lingjie Duan, Ying-Jun Angela Zhang

Summary: A proposed MEC service pricing scheme coordinates service caching decisions and controls WDs' task offloading behavior in a cellular network. The study utilizes a two-stage dynamic game of incomplete information to analyze the interaction between the BS and multiple associated WDs, focusing on maximizing expected profit under constraints. The research derives an optimal threshold-based offloading policy at the Bayesian equilibrium and jointly optimizes BS' pricing and service caching through a low-complexity algorithm.

Double-IRS Aided MIMO Communication Under LoS Channels: Capacity Maximization and Scaling

Yitao Han, Shuowen Zhang, Lingjie Duan, Rui Zhang

Summary: This paper investigates a cooperative double-IRS aided MIMO communication system under the LoS propagation channels. By jointly optimizing the transmit covariance matrix and the passive beamforming matrices of the two cooperative IRSs, the capacity maximization problem is studied. A low-complexity algorithm is developed by exploiting the tractable characterization of the LoS channels. The capacity scaling analysis shows that the double-IRS system outperforms the conventional single-IRS system thanks to the cooperative power gain and the spatial multiplexing gain.

Operator-as-a-Consumer: A Novel Energy Storage Sharing Approach Under Demand Charge

Bingyun Li, Qinmin Yang, Lingjie Duan, Youxian Sun

Summary: This article proposes a novel operator-enabled energy storage system (ESS) sharing scheme where the operator and users form a Stackelberg game. The operator maximizes its profit through optimal ESS sizing, scheduling, and pricing, while users benefit from electricity bill savings. The feasibility and economic performance of the scheme are analyzed using a bilevel joint optimization problem, transforming it into a single-level mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) and linear programming (MILP) problem.

Personalized Pricing through User Profiling in Social Networks

Qinqi Lin, Lingjie Duan, Jianwei Huang

Summary: User profiling allows sellers to identify users' willingness to pay and enable personalized pricing, but analyzing the Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium in this game is challenging due to the randomness in user profiling and the coupling among users' activity levels and seller's pricing decisions. Despite the difficulty, the study demonstrates that users' activity levels do not monotonically decrease as the profiling technology improves, as sellers strategically choose high uniform prices to stimulate increased social activities and profile more users.
