The aerial satellite-to-relay and satellite-to-destination links are non-identical time-selective shadowed Rician fading in nature, whose parameters depend on the elevation angle of the satellite, whereas the terrestrial relay-destination links are assumed to be non-identical time-selective generalized Nakagami faded. Closed form expressions are derived for the per-frame average symbol error rate (SER) and asymptotic SER floor considering the transmission of Mary PSK modulated symbols. It is observed that the time-varying nature of the links significantly degrades the system performance. Further, the impact of the satellite elevation angles at the terrestrial nodes is explicitly demonstrated through simulations, along with the effect of preamble versus midamble for channel estimation. The error rate of the system is seen to reduce significantly with increasing satellite elevation angle at the relay when the satellite-destination link experiences frequent heavy shadowing (FHS) and the relay-destination links are relatively strong. However, for other scenarios when the relay-destination links are relatively weak and satellite-relay links experience FHS, significant performance improvement can be seen by increasing the satellite elevation angle at the destination UE.","PeriodicalId":121544,"journal":{"name":"2018 Twenty Fourth National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125477640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of the proposed design lies in its four-fold symmetry, which makes the structure polarization-insensitive unlike the earlier reported tunable absorbers. Furthermore, a prototype of the proposed structure has been fabricated where the active components are regulated using a novel biasing technique.

However, existing resource allocation techniques may not work well for multicast in next generation wireless networks with many simultaneously connected devices. To address this problem, we focus on channel allocation algorithms where multiple D2D multicast groups (MGs) share the channel with a cellular user (CU). The objective is to maximize the sum throughput of CUs and D2D multicast groups, while ensuring a certain level of quality of service (QoS) to CUs and D2D MGs. Our main contributions are the exact calculation of outage probability experienced by a D2D receiver in the multicast group and a scheme to share channels among D2D MGs and CUs by minimizing these probabilities. Numerical results demonstrate the impact on the sum throughput of the number of MGs sharing the channel with a CU, geographical spread of MGs, and the maximum transmit power of cellular users.","PeriodicalId":121544,"journal":{"name":"2018 Twenty Fourth National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132487430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the prior studies on airborne BS assume outdoor users only and consider their position coordinates in a two-dimensional (2-D) plane considering only Euclidean distance based pathloss. However in urban natural disaster scenarios such as flooding or cyclone, users are trapped inside single or multi-storey buildings; user positions are in three-dimensional (3-D) plane. Reliable communication and rescue operations in such situation is possible if pathloss characteristics for both, user to UeNB (uplink) and vice versa (downlink), are known a-priori. Since pathloss in above scenarios is a combination of indoor and outdoor component, it becomes a challenge to adopt appropriate model which can be used during communications. In this paper, we have studied several state-of-the-art pathloss models applicable in the above scenarios and compared their performances. We have also studied the impact of indoor and outdoor environments on the uplink and downlink pathloss models. Our extensive simulation results give a full fledged insight to uplink and downlink channel characteristics of UAV based wireless emergency communication system. From our extensive studies and simulations, we have learnt that Winner II model [1] with additional indoor blockage component provides the best pathloss model for an urban emergency scenario. Furthermore, we have also analyzed the impact of different topological parameters such as UeNB hovering altitude, building heights, indoor and outdoor distance of users, etc., on the pathloss characteristics.","PeriodicalId":121544,"journal":{"name":"2018 Twenty Fourth National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116596910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A process in which utilizing less attended sensor nodes compare to sensor nodes which are used more frequently enhances the overall network lifetime. To perform this process, we propose a joint optimization problem to select a subset of active sensor nodes and a multi-hop routing structure interconnecting all selected sensor nodes, which helps to route the aggregated information to a querying node. Our optimization problem becomes non-convex over the subset selection and the multi-hop routing paths selection, thus belonging to the class of NP-hard problems. We solve our problem by relaxing one of the variable so that optimization problem becomes convex over this variable, which can be solved efficiently. We also propose an iterative algorithm to solve this problem distributively. We demonstrate by extensive simulation that the above mentioned both the approaches increase the overall network lifetime for a given power budget. One another important result is that the distributed approach provides an optimal routing structure considering over the well known shortest path tree based routing structure.","PeriodicalId":121544,"journal":{"name":"2018 Twenty Fourth National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125382177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, this paper proposes an approach that utilizes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to model normal behaviour. Specifically, a DNN is built that learns to predict future frames from past frames using a normal (anomaly free) dataset. The predictions from the model are then compared with testing video for similarity, and the resulting error is used to detect anomalies. Benchmarks of the proposed approach on two datasets common in the anomaly detection literature show that it performs comparably to other methods in the literature, even though it does not rely on any hand-crafted features.

In this paper, a novel network model, deterministic evolution through leaf node attachment (DELNA), that can efficiently emulate many real-world networks, such as technological networks, social networks, and other manmade networks, is proposed. We also compare our DELNA-based network model with a few existing network evolution models, namely Barabási-Ravasz-Vicsck deterministic network model and Barabási-Albert network evolution model.
