In this article, a novel algorithm is proposed that effectively estimates the noise power and SNR for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) systems operating over a time-varying Nakagami-m fading channel. The inactive subcarriers in each group of the OFDM-IM system simplify the analysis and lead to noise power estimation under ideal as well as realistic conditions of the wireless channel. At the receiver side, by using the proposed algorithm the position of inactive subcarriers can be identified effectively, as these positions are dynamic in the OFDM-IM system. Another simplified algorithm is proposed at the transmitter side for effectively transmitting the inactive subcarriers. The noise power on the sub-channel, average noise power, and average SNR are calculated. Differential noise power can also be estimated to track the channel variations effectively. None of the noise power and SNR estimators are available in the literature for the OFDM-IM systems. Hence, the performance of the proposed estimator is compared with the noise power and SNR estimators available for the classical OFDM systems. Moreover, the performance is also tested in terms of normalized mean square error (NMSE) using extensive computer simulations. The proposed estimator achieves significant improvements in spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and also achieves much lower computational complexity in contrast to the estimators for the classical OFDM systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":23827,"journal":{"name":"Wireless Personal Communications","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent times, polar codes are preferred to offer channel coding in the physical control channels of the 5G (5th Generation) wireless standard by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) New Radio (NR) group. Being a part of the physical layer, Channel coding plays key role in deciding latency and reliability of a communication system. However, the error correction performance degrades with decreased message lengths. 5G NR requires channel codes with low rates, very low error floors with short message lengths and low latency in coding process. In this work, Distributed Cyclic Redundancy Check Aided polar (DCA-polar) code along with Cyclic Redundancy Check Aided polar (CA-polar) code, the two variant of polar codes have been proposed which provide significant error-correction performance in the regime of short block lengths and enable early termination of decoding processes. While CRC bits improve the performance of SCL (successive cancellation list) decoding by increasing distance properties, distributed CRC bits permit path trimming and early-termination of the decoding process. The design can reduce the decoding latency and energy consumption of hardware, which is crucial for mobile applications like 5G. The work also considers the performance analysis of NR polar codes over AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) for short information block lengths at low code rates in the uplink and downlink control channels using SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and FAR (False Alarm Rate) as the performance measures.

One common feature of these devices is their limited capabilities, hence, they are not able to process large volumes of generated data. However, the processing of these data in the cloud leads to high latency and high power consumption. Hence, providing services to the latency-sensitive IoT applications in the cloud is a challenging issue. Fog computing as a complement to the cloud, allows data to be processed near IoT devices. However, the resources in the fog layer are heterogeneous. Thus, the proper distribution of tasks among heterogeneous nodes while serving the task within the intended deadline is of great importance. In this paper, we have presented a task scheduling model in the fog-cloud paradigm, which formulates the task scheduling problem as a multi-objective optimization problem with the aim of minimizing service response time and the total energy consumption of the system, while considers deadline and load balancing constraints. Since the problem of task scheduling is np-hard, we have proposed a modified version of Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm II (SPEA-II) with customized operators to achieve the optimal scheduling strategy. The experimental results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms some benchmarking algorithms in terms of service response time and energy consumption.

Most existing reinforcement learning-based routing methods are ineffective in dynamic network environments and cannot prevent inefficient network routing. Efficient network routing can be controlled by network traffic management, so this paper proposes an intelligent routing strategy based on Deep Reinforcement Learning to enhance routing performance. By integrating intersection forwarding and traffic awareness capabilities, this paper addresses the problem of local optimality and utilizes the Deep Q Network to make intersection forwarding decisions. The state space of this strategy consists of intersection nodes, road information between intersections, and forwarding packet information. When a vehicle node carrying a packet approaches an intersection based on the state space, the intersection node uses a neural network to select the optimal next-hop relay intersection from past learning experiences. It generates appropriate vehicle routing decisions based on information from the current and candidate relay intersections. Finally, we use the real taxi trajectory data of Beijing City to conduct extensive simulation experiments. Simulation results and analysis demonstrate that the proposed strategy outperforms related research regarding higher average packet delivery ratio, shorter average end-to-end delay, and lower average overhead ratio in dense and sparse traffic periods under real road environments.

However, despite these stringent measures, which have their own pitfalls, scientists across the globe have been struggling to develop a suitable mathematical model that could depict the existing disease spreading pattern and also predict a trend of numbers in the forthcoming months or years. In this paper, popularly used mathematical models including Polynomial Regression, Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Deep learning techniques such as Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) have been explored for 5 countries badly affected by this virus. The models were tested from 16th May, 2020 till 22nd May, 2020 and used for predicting future cases and deaths from 23rd May, 2020 to 30th June, 2020. The current research primarily focuses on forecasting the behaviour of total confirmed cases and deaths in each country and further analysing the performance parameters such as Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). It has been observed that the polynomial regression model provides a best fit solution at par with actual numbers of confirmed and death cases for India by producing minimum RMSE and MAPE. For South Korea and Italy, the ARIMA and RNN models have shown fidelity with actual numbers. RNN model has shown conformity with US numbers while ARIMA model has found closeness to United Kingdom data.

While the 5G supports the needed increased data rate, it suffers from a decreased coverage per tower. In contrast, the low population areas such as deserts, oceans, forests, and mountains contain most of the world's transportation such as highways, ships, and planes as well as large areas of agricultural lands that are all not supported by 5G. Consequently, LEO satellite constellations have been introduced to cover the earth's surface with a high-speed data rate. Each LEO satellite constellation requires 4000 + satellites and at least one ground base station (BS) for control, tracking, telemetry, and remote sensing functions. However, to support the needed downlink high-speed data rate demand, the LEO satellite constellation must add many BSs to increase the uplink data rate. As a result, the GEO communication satellites face great competitors in their market. This paper introduces the hybrid LEO-GEO satellite communication system to change this competition into cooperation that benefits both systems. In the hybrid LEO-GEO satellite communication system, this paper proposes maximizing the downlink utilization of both LEO and GEO satellites by the traffic-aware Artificial Expectation Detection (AED) technique. In such a technique, the trending multicast data choose the GEO link while the unicast data and control data choose the LEO link to maximize the downlink utilization efficiency.

This paper considers a downlink IRS-based Millimeter wave (mmWave) massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)-NOMA system. In this work, a two-layer hierarchical AGglomerative NESting- DIvisie ANAlysis Clustering Algorithm (AGNES-DIANA) user grouping (2L-HAD-UG) is proposed to group users. In the proposed 2L-HAD-UG, the first layer will use the AGNES algorithm to efficiently group the users into different clusters. After the first level of clustering, some user groups are larger than others, and perhaps some users with weakly correlated channels are assigned to the same groups. To address these concerns, the large user groups are divided into several smaller groups, and each user whose channels are weakly correlated is isolated as a separate group. In the second layer, the DIANA Hierarchical Clustering is used to divide the larger clusters based on the channel correlation value. After user grouping, a new joint active and passive beam-forming design problem is formulated to maximize the achievable rate of each user in each cluster under the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of other users, the conditions of Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) decoding rate, the constraints of IRS reflection components and the transmission power restrictions.

We employed various signaling waveforms to gain insights into how these geometries impact the propagation and reception of molecular signals in tissues under different practical scenarios. In particular, rectangular and exponential signaling waveforms under each biological rectangular deployment, Biological cylindrical deployment, and biological spherical deployments have been used to analyze the DMC system in terms of concentration and channel response. First of all, the concentration of the information signal is derived analytically under each of the signaling waveforms and deployments. Further, the presented concentration of the information signal under each signaling and deployments are employed in evaluating the channel response at the receiver.
