In this paper, hierarchical modulation is used in conjunction with maximum-weight scheduling to achieve lower transmission delays. Via hierarchical modulation, the scheduled user has the option to transmit to two users simultaneously. In order to reflect service differentiation schemes used in upper layers, a scenario in which each user generates packets with different priority levels is considered. It is assumed that as long as there are high priority packets waiting in the scheduled user's queue, lower priority packets cannot be transmitted. It is shown that, using hierarchical modulation in the presence of packet prioritization, average delay of low priority traffic can be reduced while achieving higher throughput. In the absence of packet prioritization, using hierarchical modulation lowers packet transmission delays without any loss in throughput. The effect of multiple access interference is also investigated. It is shown that both single and two-layer schemes have similar average spatial reuse factors. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH.

Maximum-Weight Scheduling with Hierarchical Modulation Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Onat, Furuzan Atay; Aktas, Defne; Numanoglu, Tolga; Kolagasioglu, Ahmet Ertugrul (2014-01-01) In this paper, hierarchical modulation is used in conjunction with maximum-weight scheduling to achieve lower transmission delays. Via hierarchical modulation, the scheduled user has the option to transmit to two users simultaneously. The results are compared with classical single-layered transmission. Simulation results show that packet transmission delays are lowered without any loss in throughput. In addition to this, it is demonstrated that hierarchical modulation is robust in point-to-point settings, a...
Adaptive modulation for completion time minimization in wireless broadcast networks Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Genc, Yasin (2017-01-01) In this work we study the effect of hierarchical modulation on completion time minimization in wireless broadcast channels. Time needed to transmit all bits intended for a particular user is defined as its completion time. In this work we investigate minimizing the maximum completion time over all users in a broadcast channel using hierarchical modulation. We compare time division, opportunistic scheduling, and three different adaptive modulation schemes: rate adaptive hierarchical modulation assisted trans...
Reducing MIMO detection complexity via hierarchical modulation / Uğur, Yiğit; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This work considers multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) communication systems using hierarchical modulation. A disadvantage of the maximum-likelihood (ML) MIMO detector is that its computational complexity increases exponentially with the number of transmit antennas. To reduce complexity, we propose a hierarchical modulation scheme to be used in MIMO transmission where base and enhancement layers are incorporated. In the proposed receiver, the base layer is detected first with a minimum mean square error (...
Diversity Analysis of Hierarchical Modulation in Cooperative Communication Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2014-01-01) In cooperative communication systems, hierarchical modulation is used to increase systems robustness and to send different information flows simultaneously. In cooperative communication systems which use hierarchical modulation, error propagation is the most important problem that prevents achieving full diversity gain. Thresholds that depend on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value between the source and the relay can be used to mitigate error propagation. If the instantaneous SNR between the source and th...
Diversity Analysis of Hierarchical Modulation in Wireless Relay Networks Yalcyn, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2014-07-01) In communication systems, hierarchical modulation is used to increase system robustness and to send different information flows simultaneously. However, when used in cooperative communication systems, hierarchical modulation is prone to error propagation, which is the most important problem that prevents the achievement of full diversity gains. Depending on the signal-to-noise ratio between the source and the relay, threshold digital relaying can be used to mitigate error propagation. Mitigating error propa...
