A HAPS can provide mobile communications services directly to smartphones, which are commonly used in terrestrial mobile communications networks with Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE), and in the near future, Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR). To achieve wide coverage and large capacity, it is desirable to introduce a cellular system that uses one- cell frequency reuse much like terrestrial mobile communications. However, a HAPS can provide various numbers of cells ranging from one to more than 100 depending on HAPS and UAV type, which differs from terrestrial base stations that have three to six sectors at most. Additionally, conventional studies on HAPS have paid little attention to cell configuration optimization. In this paper, we propose cell configuration optimization method for a HAPS cellular system with LTE, that can be generally applied regardless of the number of cells. We also clarify the cell configuration with antenna parameters that are suitable for different numbers of cells a HAPS can provide.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"88 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":"129645816","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 propose train stations as potential and feasible spots for data offloading via available wireless local area networks (WLAN) such as existing WiFi network at stations. Thus, stations will not only be the places of passenger exchange but also data exchange. We develop an analytical model customized for the proposed offloading strategy in rail applications. Then we validate the performance of our model through simulation in various scenarios in Omnet. The simulation results shows an accuracy of %98.67 for the proposed analytical model with reference to the simulation results in Omnetpp. Additionally, by using our proposed scheme, we can theoretically offload up to 5.43 GB per each stopping station.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"75 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":"123965249","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}

Therefore, in this paper, we first depict and analyse the safety messages and security profiles of the European standard, ETSI ITS. We study their maximum and minimum size and evaluate their impact on vehicular safety communications. Obtained results suggest that the existing ETSI ITS security solution can negatively impact vehicles' awareness due to significant bandwidth penalty on the wireless medium.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"17 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":"124180412","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}

An important problem is to rapidly estimate the number of active nodes of each node type in every time frame in such a network. In this paper, we design an estimation scheme for estimating the active node cardinalities of each node type in a heterogeneous M2M network with three types of nodes. Our scheme consists of two phases- in phase 1, coarse estimates are computed and these estimates are used to compute the final estimates to the required accuracy level in phase 2. We analytically derive a condition that can be used to decide as to which of two possible approaches is to be used in phase 2. Using simulations, we show that our proposed scheme requires significantly fewer time slots to execute compared to separately executing a well-known estimation protocol designed for a homogeneous network in prior work thrice to estimate the cardinalities of the three node types, even though both these schemes obtain estimates with the same accuracy.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"69 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114102863","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}

Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) sends out these messages at a constant rate of 10 Hz and packet collisions occur in dense vehicular environments. In this paper, we propose a priority-based dynamic beaconing scheme. The scheme determines a higher beacon transmission rate for vehicles that are at a higher risk of collision. Two risk based beacon rate protocols are evaluated in our ns-3 simulator, one that adapts the beacon rate between 1 and 10 Hz, and another between 1 and 20 Hz. This improves the packet delivery ratio (PDR) performance by up to 45% in congested environments using the 1-10 Hz adaptive beacon rate protocol and by 38% using the 1-20 Hz adaptive scheme. The simulation results also show that the likelihood of a vehicle collision due to missed packets decreases by up to 77% in a three lane dense highway scenario with 160 vehicles operating at different speeds.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"43 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":"114209186","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 first considers additional processing on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), e.g. windowing, filtering, and precoding. The other aims at the design of new modulation schemes. Essentially, any block-based linear modulation, such as generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM), can be seen as precoded-OFDM, where the precoded data result from the frequency domain modulation. This representation has a significant benefit for the implementation of new waveforms. Namely, the available OFDM transceiver techniques can be reused, whereas the required signal features can be fulfilled by the configuration of the GFDM modem. In this paper, we propose flexible OFDM precoding based on the GFDM framework. As a particular case, we focus on orthogonal precoding to enhance the performance in fading channels. By means of closed-form expressions, we show that all the sybsymbols within the same GFDM subcarrier attain the same signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in frequency selective channel. In special precoding cases, all symbols achieve equal SINR. This feature is important to enhance the performance without a need for power allocation.","PeriodicalId":134773,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 89th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Spring)","volume":"1 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":"128031074","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}
