This makes such solutions impractical for ultra-dense networks (UDN) where the number of base stations (BS) deployed is very large. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) based cell switching solution is developed to learn the optimal switching strategy of BSs in order to minimize the total power consumption of a UDN. The proposed model is first trained offline, after which the trained model is plugged into the network for real-time decision making. Simulation results reveal that the performance of the proposed solution is very close to the optimal solution in terms of trade-off between the power consumption and QoS.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132892381","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}

Large-scale fading measurements have been carried out in an office building using a spectrum analyser and omnidirectional antennas in line-of-sight (LoS) and non line-of-sight (NLoS) co-polar scenarios. For the NLoS and LoS points, a linear track as well as spot locations were used to measure the receive power, with NLoS points resulting from obstructions. The transmitter–receiver (Tx-Rx) separation distance adopted in the measurement campaign ranged from 2 m to 20 m, with measurements averaged over 10 wavelengths at each location. From the measurement data, empirical path loss models were obtained to fit the measurement data. For the LoS points investigated, the path loss exponent varied between 1.32 and 1.95, while a path loss exponent of 1.78 was obtained for NLoS scenarios. The model comparison carried out showed that the ITU-R model overestimates the path loss in LoS scenarios, while the FSPL underestimates the path loss.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116766012","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 vehicles transmitting with a cellular base station (BS) can realize the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) based on the uplink channels and infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communication based on the downlink channels. The clustering methods are widely applicated on V2V communication to improve spectrum utilization. Meanwhile, the information transmission of vehicles needs enough capacity. And V2V links are vulnerable to the outage case caused by the high mobility of vehicles. To guarantee the capacity of all links and V2V stability for transmission requirements, we propose a heuristic Graph-Coloring Based Spectrum Sharing (GCSS) scheme based on both traceable slow-varying large scale fading information. The GCSS algorithm is divided into two sub-problems, including the power control considering the V2V outage probability and the graph-coloring clustering algorithm. Importantly, the allocated optimal power is calculated by V2I and I2V spectrum reusing formulation. The graph-coloring clustering method includes the available color channel building of each V2V link, the interference graph of the V2V links and the improved heuristic clustering algorithm. The simulation results show that the GCSS scheme improves the system capacity, the cellular capacity, and the V2V clusters capacity compared with the heuristic clustering algorithm.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129114656","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 propose a compressive sensing (CS)-based grant-free random access scheme for mMTC, where JADD is formulated as a multiple measurement vectors (MMV) CS problem. By leveraging the prior knowledge of the discrete constellation symbols, we develop an orthogonal approximate message passing (OAMP)-MMV algorithm for JADD, where the structured sparsity is fully exploited for enhanced performance. Moreover, expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is employed to learn the unknown sparsity ratio of the a priori distribution and the noise variance.
