In addition, thanks to the revolution caused by the virtualization of technologies, a cloud-based multi-vendor mobile network infrastructure, among which open-source platforms stand out, has become possible. Based on the OpenAirInterface and srsRAN open-source platforms, this paper evaluates the potential of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service specifications, such as evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service and Further evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, for transporting content streams over mobile networks and compares the two specifications in terms of their performance.","PeriodicalId":13080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE international Symposium on Broadband Multimedia Systems and Broadcasting","volume":"52 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86749996","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 number of cutting-edge applications are predicted to be supported by 5G networks across the three categories: enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low latency communications, and enormous machine-type communications. The expectations and goals for the various services in the 5G networks have put a lot of pressure on mobile operators to maintain high Quality of Experience (QoE). The use of 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), which will provide consumers with the ability to be associated with either Macro Base Stations (MBS) or small cells, is one of the most promising solutions. Among the small cells, femtocells have drawn much attention recently. Yet, the most significant challenge with the deployment of femtocells is the high co-tier interference that can occur between different femtocell users. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions are being incorporated in 5G networks to address this challenge. In this paper, we propose a ML Multi-Classification and Offloading Scheme (MLMCOS) to mitigate co-tier interference in 5G HetNets. MLMCOS classifies users into multiple classes based on their service priority along with their experienced co-tier interference. It then offloads some of them to the nearby Femto Base Stations (FBS) based on the availability of resources to ensure high QoE. ML classification algorithms are evaluated in terms of accuracy, recall, and precision. The performance of MLMCOS is then compared to those of Proportional Fair (PF) scheduling algorithm, Variable Radius and Proportional Fair scheduling (VR+PF) algorithm, and a Cognitive Approach (CA) in terms of Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF), R-Factor, and RUM Speed Index (RUMSI).","PeriodicalId":13080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE international Symposium on Broadband Multimedia Systems and Broadcasting","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85930190","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}

Many algorithms have been proposed to reduce the PAPR effect on the transmitted signal. The DVB-T2 and ATSC 3.0 standards adopted the technique of tone reservation (TR) which is based on an iterative process where a predefined kernel is applied to reduce a peak power at each iteration. In this paper, the Iterative Dichotomy PAPR reduction method (IDP) is used to reduce the PAPR of both DVB-T2 and ATSC 3.0 standards. The simulation results show that IDP-based PAPR reduction exhibits a gain of 2 dB, in terms of PAPR reduction, compared to TR.","PeriodicalId":13080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE international Symposium on Broadband Multimedia Systems and Broadcasting","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79364408","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}

At present, two key technologies of vehicle communication include DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) and LTE (Long Term Evolution). After 20 years of in-depth research, DSRC has reached sufficient technical maturity, but its performance improvement space is relatively limited. LTE is a relatively new 3GPP-based standard and is considered the strongest competitor to IEEE 802.11p.There are many mature analysis models in DSRC reliability analysis, however as LTE is a newly emerging vehicle networking technology, the existing analysis models have some problems that do not conform to actual traffic scenarios and incomplete analysis of beacon transmission errors. Although technological innovations allow LTE to have many features over DSRC, studies have found that DSRC outperforms in some respects.Given the existing shortcomings of analysis models, this paper proposes an LTE broadcast performance analysis model based on the Poisson distribution traffic model. This model uses the Markov State Transition Process to evaluate the probability of packet reception for LTE combined with four transmission errors. The numerical results of the analysis model is cross-validated through the network simulation results obtained by the MATLAB simulator, which proves the correct-ness of the model.","PeriodicalId":13080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE international Symposium on Broadband Multimedia Systems and Broadcasting","volume":"286 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83433215","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 order to guarantee health safety in wireless networks, human exposure to electromagnetic fields generated by radio communication systems is usually tested to check compliance with regulations. This can be done by measuring received signal strengths and comparing them with exposure limits. This paper presents an evaluation of electromagnetic exposure due to 5G mobile communications in outdoor environments. A measurement campaign was carried out in several locations of the city of Bilbao using professional equipment in order to acquire 5G signal data in different environments. Then, recorded data was processed and analyzed in order to characterize electromagnetic exposure according to the scenario and frequency band.
