We simulate low-power indoor and standard-power operations based on the rules authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In addition, we analyze the effect of increasing the maximum power spectral density by 3 dB for low-power indoor operations, as inquired by the FCC. Urban, suburban and rural scenarios were simulated and compared. The results show that Wi-Fi devices can coexist with terrestrial incumbents without causing harmful interference.","PeriodicalId":127186,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115706473","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}

In this paper, we investigate a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based UAV relaying network that helps data transmission from a base station (BS) to remote multiple users. To improve spectral efficiency of the investigated UAV relaying network, we provide a generalized user grouping protocol that partitions users into multiple groups and transmit data via NOMA within the same group. Then, we further formulate a joint optimization problem of the NOMA user grouping, the UAV position, and the UAV transmit power to maximize the system throughput. The formulated problem is non-convex which makes it difficult to solve directly, hence, we propose an iterative algorithm to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed NOMA-based UAV relaying scheme achieves significant throughput gains compared with other benchmark schemes.","PeriodicalId":127186,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123157650","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 tackle the issue, we establish a collaborative D2D and uplink relay transmission model, in which D2D receiver eliminates the interference of the networks under the assist of the relay. Particularly, the relay and D2D receiver of the model can capture energy from the signals they received to relay the signals and facilitate the future D2D transmission, respectively. In order to guarantee the efficiency of D2D transmission, a novel energy- efficient D2D privacy content transmission protocol is proposed. In the protocol, a D2D transmission rate maximization problem is formulated subjected to several key rate and energy efficiency constraints. By solving the problem, the exact analytic solutions with respect to energy allocation parameters are acquired. Furthermore, the outage probabilities of the relay network and D2D transmission are characterized to verify the performance of the protocol.

Hand-crafting specialized energy models and monitoring sub-systems for each type of device is error prone, costly, and sometimes infeasible. In order to detect abnormal or faulty behavior as well as inefficient resource usage autonomously, it is of tremendous importance to endow upcoming IoT and 5G devices with sufficient intelligence to deduce an energy model from their own resource usage data. Such models can in-turn be applied to predict upcoming resource consumption and to detect system behavior that deviates from normal states. To this end, we investigate a special class of undirected probabilistic graphical model, the so-called integer Markov random fields (IntMRF). On the one hand, this model learns a full generative probability distribution over all possible states of the system—allowing us to predict system states and to measure the probability of observed states. On the other hand, IntMRFs are themselves designed to consume as less resources as possible—e.g., faithful modelling of systems with an exponentially large number of states, by using only 8-bit unsigned integer arithmetic and less than 16KB memory. We explain how IntMRFs can be applied to model the resource consumption and the system behavior of an IoT device and a 5G core network component, both under various workloads. Our results suggest, that the machine learning model can represent important characteristics of our two test systems and deliver reasonable predictions of the power consumption.","PeriodicalId":127186,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120836887","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 proposed VLC-based monitoring system takes advantage of the Channel State Information (CSI) that the VLC receiver estimates regularly for OFDM equalization, and makes use of K-means++ clustering to estimate the number of events that can be identified in the collected CSI data. The color temperature of the LED lighting is varied by changing the fraction of the total radiant flux emitted by Cool-White and Red-Orange LEDs, respectively, enabling to obtain a complete palette of white light that ranges from warm reddish (2600 K) to cool blueish (6200 K). The experimental evaluation is carried out with the aid of a software-defined VLC demonstrator, and shows that the sensing performance when using the reflected VLC signal to estimate the position of the object does not vary notably with the color temperature of the LED lamp. In contrast, the use of white light with high Color Rendering Index provides better results when the objective is to identify the color signature that different objects create when placed in the sensing area.","PeriodicalId":127186,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"462 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125828503","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}

Use-cases related to self-adaptivity (including vehicular communication), partial networking and embedded virtualization require to change the configuration of the IVN at runtime. State-of-the-art IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards possess a grave challenge in handling runtime reconfigurations. Above mentioned use-cases foster the development of scalable and efficient dynamic scheduling and routing algorithms for TSN based IVN. In this paper, four meticulously designed heuristics are analyzed for dynamic scheduling and routing on-the-fly in TSN based IVN. One of the algorithms, Bottleneck heuristic outperforms others in term of schedulability and response time.
