Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13User Selection and Codebook Design for Noma-Based High Altitude Platform Station (haps) Communications(IEEE, 2022) Cumalı, İrem; Özbek, Berna; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş; Yanıkömeroğlu, HalimHigh altitude platform station (HAPS) communications have made a tremendous impact on recent research into sixth-generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks. The large coverage area and significant computational capability of HAPS systems enable many areas of utilization in 6G and beyond applications, including Internet of Things (IoT) services, augmented reality, and connected autonomous vehicles. In addition, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a cutting-edge technology that can be utilized to enhance spectral efficiency in HAPS systems. In this paper, we exploit NOMA-based HAPS communications and multiple antennas to meet the connectivity, reliability, and high-data-rate requirements of 6G and beyond applications. We propose a user selection and correlation-based user pairing algorithm for a NOMA-based multi-user HAPS system. Moreover, we investigate the codebook design for HAPS communication and adapt the polar-cap codebook (PCC) to the HAPS channel which shows Rician fading propagation characteristics dominated by the line-of-sight (LOS) component. Performance evaluations show that the proposed user selection algorithm is perfectly suited to the HAPS channel and that the PCC provides a remarkable spectral efficiency.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11Delay Minimization for Massive Mimo Based Cooperative Mobile Edge Computing System With Secure Offloading(IEEE, 2022) Mümtaz, Rao; Yılmaz, Simay; Özbek, BernaMobile edge computing (MEC) has been envisioned as a promising technology for enhancing the computational capacities of mobile devices by enabling task offloading. In this paper, we present a novel framework for a cooperative MEC system by employing Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technologies, including security aspects. Specifically, in the proposed cooperative MEC system, there is no strong direct transmission link between the cell-edge user and the MEC server; consequently, the user sends their tasks to the MEC server through the helpers at the cell-centers. In the proposed framework, we minimize the overall delay, including secure offloading under the constraints of computing capability and transmit power. The proposed algorithm minimizes the overall delay in downlink and uplink transmission while satisfying security constraints to solve the formulated problem. The simulation results show that Massive MIMO based NOMA improves the performance of the secure MEC system by employing more than one helper.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8The Resilience of Massive Mimo Pnc To Jamming Attacks in Vehicular Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Özbek, Berna; Busari, Sherif A.; Gonzalez, JonathanIn this article, we investigate the resilience of Massive MIMO Physical Layer Network Coding (PNC) to jamming attack in both sub-6 GHz and millimeter-Wave (mmWave) systems in vehicular networks. Massive MIMO generally is resilient to jamming attacks, and we investigate the impact that PNC has on this resilience, if combined with Massive MIMO. The combination of Massive MIMO and PNC has shown a significant improvement in the bit error rate (BER) in our previous investigation. The corresponding framework is analysed against a barraging attack from a jammer, where the jamming channel is not known to the base station (BS), and the jammer can use any number of transmit antennas. Over Rayleigh channel, our simulation results reveal that Massive MIMO PNC performs better in the lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions to jamming attacks and this is achieved at twice the spectral efficiency. A similar performance is observed over mmWave channel.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8Coverage Analysis of Physical Layer Network Coding in Massive Mimo Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, Berna; Mumtaz, Rao; Busari, Sherif A.; Gonzalez, JonathanWireless networks are prone to interference due to their broadcast nature. In the design of most of the traditional networks, this broadcast nature is perceived as a performance-degrading factor. However, Physical Layer Network Coding (PNC) exploits this broadcast nature by enabling simultaneous transmissions from different sources and thereby enhances the performance of the wireless networks with respect to improvement in spectral efficiency, coverage, latency and security of the system. For fifth generation (5G) networks and beyond, massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is considered as a key physical layer technology. Thus, its combination with PNC can significantly enhance the performance of the network, facilitating capacity-coverage improvement, among other benefits. While the bit error rate performance of multiuser massive MIMO-PNC systems through linear detection has been investigated extensively, their coverage probability for a given target signal-to-noise ratio has not been explored yet. In this paper, we derive a closed form expression for coverage probability in PNC based multiuser massive MIMO systems employing zero-forcing equalization. Both theoretical and simulation results are provided for different number of users and antennas in the multiuser massive MIMO-PNC communications systems.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13User Selection for Noma Based Mimo With Physical Layer Network Coding in Internet of Things Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Yılmaz, Saadet Simay; Özbek, Berna; İlgüy, Mert; Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Gonzalez, JonathanNon-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), which has the potential to provide both massive connectivity and high spectrum efficiency, is considered as one of the efficient techniques for sixth generation (6G) wireless systems. In massive Internet of Things (IoT) networks, user-set selection is crucial for enhancing the overall performance of NOMA based systems when compared with orthogonal multiple access (OMA) techniques. In this paper, we propose a user-set selection algorithm for IoT uplink transmission to improve the sum data rate of the NOMA based MIMO systems. In order to exchange data between the selected IoT pairs, we propose to employ wireless physical layer network coding (PNC) to further improve the spectral efficiency and reduce the delay to fulfill the requirements of future IoT applications. Performance evaluations are provided based on both sum data rate and bit error rate for the proposed NOMA based MIMO with PNC in the considered massive IoT scenarios. IEEEArticle Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 28Multi-Helper Noma for Cooperative Mobile Edge Computing(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022) Yılmaz, Saadet Simay; Özbek, BernaThe next-generation wireless networks are expected to support a number of computation-intensive and delay-sensitive applications such as virtual reality (VR), autonomous driving, telesurgery and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Since many devices are computation and power limited, mobile edge computing (MEC) has been deemed as a promising way to enhance computation service. In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative MEC that exploits the combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and multiple helpers. In the proposed system featuring a user, multiple helpers and a base station (BS), the user can simultaneously offload its computation-intensive tasks to the helpers using NOMA when there is no strong direct transmission link between the user and the BS. Then, the helpers can compute and offload these tasks through NOMA. Thus, in the proposed scheme, the computation and offloading modes at the helpers are determined with respect to the optimized task offloading decision factor. The simulation results show that the proposed NOMA-based cooperative MEC significantly increases the total offloading data under the latency constraints compared to the benchmark schemes featuring one helper with strong direct transmission link.

In order to develop energy efficient systems, one of the promising methods is to use multiple device-to-device (D2D) underlaying multiple antenna cellular systems. The interference from cellular users to D2D pairs, the interference between D2D pairs and the interference at the base station (BS) caused by D2D pairs occur in these communications systems. In this article, we propose energy efficient resource allocation algorithms for underlaying multi-D2D enabled multiple-antennas communications by employing different multiple antenna processing techniques at the BS. A joint method based on Dinkelbach algorithm and Message Passing Algorithm (MPA) and an approach based on deep learning with multi-layer artificial neural network are proposed to maximize the global energy efficiency (GEE) while satisfying the data rate requirements of both cellular users and D2D pairs. In MPA, the factor graph of the D2D pairs is constructed by taking into account the interference among the D2D pairs and the interference level at the BS to avoid any interruption in the cellular transmission. By relying on the training based on the proposed joint algorithm, a deep neural network approach is presented for off-line implementation. The performance results of the proposed energy efficient resource allocation algorithms show the superiority of multi-D2D communications over conventional single-D2D communications. © 1967-2012 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 22Key Error Rates in Physical Layer Key Generation: Theoretical Analysis and Measurement-Based Verification(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Topal, Ozan Alp; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş; Özbek, BernaChannel gains are frequently used to obtain a secret key that can be used for encryption in physical layer security systems. However, the channel gains captured by the nodes may not always be the same due to channel estimation errors. This would result in a non-zero key error rate (KER). In this letter, we obtain theoretical expressions for KER in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. Tight KER approximations are provided based on Gauss-Laguerre quadrature. A measurementbased study is conducted by using software defined radio nodes to demonstrate the validity and the practicality of the provided results.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Dynamic Shared Spectrum Allocation for Underlaying Device-To Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Özbek, Berna; Pischella, Mylene; Le Ruyet, DidierThis article provides an overview on spectrum sharing in D2D underlaying communications for 5G and beyond 5G applications. Various spectrum sharing algorithms are summarized within a framework of underlaying D2D communications in cellular networks to increase spectrum efficiency. Dynamic spectrum sharing algorithms in the frequency, power, and spatial dimensions are proposed for underlaying D2D communications with both single antenna and multiple antennas at the base station. Performance evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in terms of average data rate per D2D pair.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7Adaptive Reduced Feedback Links for Distributed Power Allocation in Multicell Miso-Ofdma Networks(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Özbek, Berna; Le Ruyet, Didier; Pischella, MyleneFor multi-antenna Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based multicell networks, the channel state information (CSI) of all users is required to share among base stations in order to perform distributed power allocation. However, the amount of feedback increases with the number of users, base stations, subcarriers and antennas. Therefore, it is important to perform a selection at the user side to reduce the feedback load and the complexity of resource allocation. In this letter, we propose adaptive reduced feedback links by choosing the users based on their approximate signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) and their locations in the cell to satisfy users' rate constraints. We illustrate the performance results of reduced feedback links by employing distributed resource allocation with link adaptation.
