Communications over this band will be feature a number of attractive properties, including potentially terabit-per-second link capacities, miniature transceivers and, potentially, high energy efficiency. Meanwhile, a number of specific research challenges have to be addressed to convert the theoretical estimations into commercially attractive solutions. Due to the diversity of the challenges, the research on THz communications at its early stages was mostly performed by independent communities from different areas. Therefore, the existing knowledge in the field is substantially fragmented. In this paper, an attempt to address this issue and provide a clear and easy to follow introduction to the THz communications is performed. A review on the state-of-the-art in THz communications research is given by identifying the target applications and major open research challenges as well as the recent achievements by industry, academia, and the standardization bodies. The potential of the THz communications is presented by illustrating the basic tradeoffs in typical use cases. Based on the given summary, certain prospective research directions in the field are identified.","PeriodicalId":174688,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123448023","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}

Commissioning of a new network service implies additional room for new equipment, power sources, cooling systems, etc. Besides, there is need for increase of qualified stuff. This results in the escalation of capital and operational expenses that eventually exceeds the revenue growth rates for which these expenses are initially intended. To overcome such a deadlock, it is no more sufficient to introduce new protocols for network enhancement, it is necessary to reconsider the network architecture. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new network paradigm that allows managing network services by separating data and control planes. Herein network planning and traffic management are performed by software what makes installation of new network services, such as routing, resource management and security more simple and agile. Interaction between the two planes can be provided by means of OpenFlow protocol that allows manipulating data plane and collecting various statistics used to form global state of a network. In this paper we present an overview of SDN and OpenFlow, their key features and main concepts. Next, we present a model of SDN-network in the form of a queuing network and propose the approach to mean delay time estimation.","PeriodicalId":174688,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123304319","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 transmitter and receiver are placed in two separate buildings and a third building is used to deflect/scatter the signal in order to maintain the transmitter-receiver link. The antennas have a high gain with a beamwidth of 1°. Measurement results are used to evaluate the performance of SC-FDMA/OFDMA system. The results of bit error rate (BER) and CCDF of PAPR approve the transmission efficiency of our system under NLOS outdoor 30 GHz scenario. For 16 QAM, the SNR corresponding to BER=10−4 is around 16 dB and 34 dB for SC-FDMA and OFDMA, respectively.

Implementing and setting up VS however can be a complex tasks that urgently needs to be automated. A novel approach for computer-aided, automatic setup of VS is presented. It is based on reusing generic, pre-implemented VS algorithms. Using OWL, the characteristics, requirements and configuration of the VS algorithms are specified in a machine-interpretable way. By that, the approach can match the specific characteristics and requirements of the VS algorithms in a formal evaluation process with the specific circumstances in the BAS, which are described in an ontology-based building information model (BIM).

For that reason, sensor networks may be a reliable option to decide on the absence/presence of licensed users and to communicate without causing much interference as a secondary user network. These networks consist of two communication links for primary user detection. One link is between the primary user and the sensors, and the other link is between the sensors and the fusion center. In this study, we consider an IEEE 802.15.4a based ultra wideband (UWB) network with a noncoherent receiver structure for the first link. For the second link binary pulse position modulation is implemented to convey primary user information to the fusion center. Numerical expressions for probabilities of false alarm and detection for the overall system are obtained and validated by simulations, where the performance of the system improves with number of sensors and the reliability of the first link. The results obtained from this study can be used for improving the primary user detection performance of UWB based wireless sensor networks in noncoherent operation mode.","PeriodicalId":174688,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133931319","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}

It affects the error-rate performance as well as convergence rate of the decoder. In this paper, an efficient scheduling scheme is proposed to arrange the updating order of check nodes for layered BP decoder of regular LDPC codes. This scheme selects check node one at a time based on the reliability of the variable nodes. Specifically each time the check node with maximum number of low-reliability neighbors is selected. For simplicity, we introduce the updating state instead of the real-time messages to represent variable-node reliability. Simulation results on regular LDPC codes prove that the proposed scheduling scheme can obtain efficient schedules with fast convergence and good error-rate performance.","PeriodicalId":174688,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133506712","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}
