As a reliable groupcast method, we employ LBP (Leader-Based Protocol) without RTS/CTS. For a rate-adaptation mechanism, we utilize ARF (Auto Rate Fallback). We compare the joint method to groupcast without retransmission and IEEE 802.11 GCR Unsolicited Retry with a fixed rate. Computer simulation with ns-3 is carried out. We then assess QoE through a subjective experiment. The result shows that the joint method enhances QoE under various conditions.","PeriodicalId":127412,"journal":{"name":"2019 26th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116798139","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 practice, attributes usually have a certain lifespan. The existing time-based access control methods directly relate attribute keys to time. Thus, under the constraint of fine-grained time, when the attribute expires, the update of key and policy adds a large additional burden to the data user and owner. In this paper, we propose a dynamic attribute-based access control scheme to set a fine-grained valid time period for each attribute, which not only facilitates dynamic data sharing, but also enables flexible attribute revocation. We use smart contract to set valid time period for attributes. It provides smart management on users' attributes and avoids the waiting time of CSP caused by manual operations. We also introduce trapdoor that are indirectly related to time and proxy decryption method to reduce computational cost on data owners and users. Extensive security and performance analysis shows the security strength and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":127412,"journal":{"name":"2019 26th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115541608","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}

We model and formulate the issue as a max-min fairness power control problem, which needs to be considered in order to provide good experienced service for users in the system. By exploiting the special properties of the solution, we are able to propose a very simple power control algorithm with complexity $mathcal{O}(M(N+M))$ where $M$ and $N$ are the number of users and base station antennas respectively. In addition, only the estimated channel response and maximum transmit power of each user are required as input information. We implement the proposed algorithm on a record-playback massive MIMO testbed to verify the performance in real environment. The result show that the received signal quality of the worst user is much more improved, and all users experience roughly the same level of quality of service. In addition, simulation is carried out to confirm the advantage of the proposed scheme in term of minimum spectral efficiency.","PeriodicalId":127412,"journal":{"name":"2019 26th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127505220","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 one tap ZF-equalizer and equivalent OFDM presentation of SEFDM signals is used to perform channel correction. Demodulation is done using trellis based demodulator. The proposed receiver structure has relatively low computation complexity compared to SEFDM demodulators which use sphere decoder. Thus the proposed receiver is applicable to SEFDM signals with high number of subcarriers as in WiFi, LTE, DVB-T2 systems. The resulting BER performance of SEFDM in various LTE fading channels using the proposed receiver is comparable with performance of QPSK OFDM with the same number of subcarriers. The analysis is done under assumption of perfect channel knowledge.","PeriodicalId":127412,"journal":{"name":"2019 26th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130062232","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}

We compare our proposed algorithm to other typical CSI feedback algorithms under correlated channel conditions.
