A Rician K-factor is used to describe the fading severity in a Rician fading channel and is used in the system design and performance evaluation. Therefore, the estimation of the Rician K-factor is important in wireless communications research and development. Traditionally, a Rician K-factor equation, the statistics of the instantaneous frequency of the received signal with a lookup table, or the James-Stein estimator with the maximum likelihood estimation is used for the K-factor estimation. In this paper, we explore the use of deep learning for K-factor estimation. Specifically, we use the convolutional neural network (CNN) to estimate the Rician K-factor from a waveform signal in a Rician channel. Numerical results demonstrate its good performance in estimating the K-factor of the Rician channel.","PeriodicalId":187607,"journal":{"name":"2020 29th Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129842137","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}

To be specific, reservoir computing (RC), a special type of recurrent neural network (RNN), is adopted to conduct the task of symbol detection for Wi-Fi receivers. Instead of introducing extra training overhead/set to facilitate the RC-based symbol detection, a new training framework is introduced to take advantage of the signal structure in existing Wi-Fi protocols (e.g., IEEE 802.11 standards), that is, the introduced RC-based symbol detector will utilize the inherent long/short training sequences and structured pilots sent by the Wi-Fi transmitter to conduct online learning of the transmit symbols. In other words, our introduced NN-based symbol detector does not require any additional training sets compared to existing Wi-Fi systems. The introduced RC-based Wi-Fi symbol detector is implemented on the software defined radio (SDR) platform to further provide realistic and meaningful performance comparison against the traditional Wi-Fi receiver. Over the air experiment results show that the introduced RC-based Wi-Fi symbol detector outperforms conventional Wi-Fi symbol detection methods in various environments indicating the significance and the relevance of our work.","PeriodicalId":187607,"journal":{"name":"2020 29th Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127621774","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 complicated production process of steel products makes it difficult to find the causes of surplus materials. In this work, we propose a surplus material prediction problem and solve it based on statistical analysis and machine learning methods. In the concerned problem, we predict whether there are surplus materials under a given group of production parameters. The dataset used in this work is from a real-world three-month steel coil production process. First, data cleaning is conducted to standardize the industrial dataset. Then, the production parameters highly correlated with surplus material prediction results are selected by a series of feature selection methods. Finally, two prediction models based on extreme gradient boosting and logistic regression are presented according to the selected features. The experimental results reveal that the proposed prediction models have similar effectiveness. A visible regression function makes the logistic regression method more suitable for practical application.","PeriodicalId":187607,"journal":{"name":"2020 29th Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116017665","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 proposed methods for optimal estimations enable scalable hardware implementations for any Gray mapped PAM or QAM with less circuitries. For variance estimations, the proposed method reduces the complexity from $O((log_{2}N)^{2})$ in the existing method to $O(log_{2}N)$ for an N-QAM. Two suboptimal methods are also proposed to avoid the multiplications in the hardware implementations. The presented approximation approaches provide similar or better performance than the existing methods but with simpler implementation and less logical circuitries. In addition, based on the proposed architecture, we present novel unit module designs with disassembled estimation components and the schematics to virtualize the estimation hardware. With efficient design of unit module and control unit, maximized parallelization can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":187607,"journal":{"name":"2020 29th Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114907722","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, CCI is managed by using Angular Diversity Receiver (ADR) with a limited field of view to reduce the number of interfered signals. After that least-square (LS) channel estimation with maximum-likelihood (ML) equalizer is used to resolve the interfered signals. The bit-error-rate (BER) is calculated at different room positions and receiver’s heights.
