To achieve higher automation levels, vehicles are being equipped with more and more sensors. High data rate connectivity seems critical to allow vehicles and road infrastructure exchanging all these sensor data to enlarge their sensing range and make better safety related decisions. Connectivity also enables other applications such as infotainment or high levels of traffic coordination. Current solutions for vehicular communications though do not support the gigabit-per-second data rates. This presentation makes the case that millimeter wave communication is the only viable approach for high bandwidth connected vehicles. The motivation and challenges associated with using mmWave for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure applications are highlighted. Examples from recent work are provided including new theoretical results that enable mmWave communication in high mobility scenarios and innovative architectural concepts like position and radar-aided communication.","PeriodicalId":240202,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems 2017","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129678359","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}

Mähönen","doi":"10.1145/3130242.3130246","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3130242.3130246","url":null,"abstract":"The spectrum-rich millimeter-wave (mm-wave) bands are being considered for next generation mobile networks. However, due to the high path loss at these frequencies, mm-wave systems rely on highly directional antennas, making precise antenna alignment a major issue. To provide seamless connectivity for mobile users, efficient beam tracking is thus crucial. In this paper we propose using motion sensor data to track small-scale rotational user motion and to thus correct mm-wave antenna misalignment at the mobile station (MS). To this end, we study in detail the characteristics of typical MS rotational motion using an Android app and mm-wave urban measurement data. We thereby evaluate the effectiveness of MS-based beam tracking, in terms of link stability and link quality, and derive practical engineering bounds on tracking delay and sensor accuracy. We show that, in order to make motion sensor-aided beam tracking beneficial, the tracking delay and sensor error must not exceed 30 ms and 1.2°, respectively, for our 10° antenna system. Although these requirements are within the capabilities of state-of-the-art MEMS chips, they cannot be guaranteed by the Android sensor API, suggesting that direct low-level access to the sensors should be provided to support mm-wave beam tracking.","PeriodicalId":240202,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems 2017","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129003523","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}

Several factors are fueling the growth: the need for Gigabit rates and low latency; advances in mmWave hardware, antennas, data converters, computational power, and prototyping platforms; and new paradigms for exploiting the large number of spatio-temporal degrees of freedom afforded by the large bandwidth and small wavelength. The challenges in harnessing the potential of mmWave wireless for communication and sensing are both physical and technological and inherently cross-disciplinary in nature. The tools available for research and technology development are rich and diverse, spanning signal processing and communication techniques, antenna, RF hardware and data converter design, prototype development and experimentation, and machine learning and data analytics. I will discuss the opportunities and implications with recent developments in hybrid beamforming architectures, the need for cross-layer networking protocols for exploiting the advanced physical layer capabilities, the importance of accurate channel models in network performance prediction and simulation, and the role of channel signatures in sensing applications. I will also highlight the dual and key role of prototype development in mmWave research: the cross-disciplinary challenges inherent in their design, and their facilitation of much needed channel measurements and experimentation. These findings and insights are informed by my group's involvement in mmWave research and technology development since 2010, and the outcomes of the first two workshops of the NSF Research Coordination Network on mmWave wireless.","PeriodicalId":240202,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems 2017","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126325562","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 solutions use inverse phase signal to replace switching-off signal which can generate more artificial noise than conventional solutions on undesired direction.

While a number of novel use cases and services are being contemplated, there is consensus that data demand will continue to grow, putting further pressure on already congested spectrum. Millimeter-wave bands have been cited as having the potential to alleviate some of this pressure. This talk will cover the opportunities and challenges with mobile communications in the millimeter wave band for the deployments and use cases of interest. Specifically, the talk will first cover material and channel propagation measurements highlighting the contrast with sub-6GHz propagation. With those observations, a number of system design principles and associated device/component level requirements will be outlined and, where appropriate, 3GPP 5G NR support for these designs will be highlighted. Taking some of the design principles and component level considerations into account, coverage and capacity modeling results will be presented. Finally, some over-the-air test results from our prototype system at 28GHz will also be presented.","PeriodicalId":240202,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems 2017","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132515595","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 this end, beam alignment is achieved via a proper beam sensing protocol, which specifies how to allocate amplitude and phase at each antenna array element (a codeword) to sense the mobile user's position, through appropriate beam pointing. However, beam imperfections -- such as the presence of side-lobes -- and noise may cause errors in the detection process. Thus, correct alignment between transmitter and receiver may not be achieved. Therefore, it is of great importance to design the sensing codebook to attain optimal detection performance. In this paper, a Neyman-Pearson codebook design is proposed. The sensing codeword is optimized so as to minimize the mis-detection probability, under false-alarm, power and hybrid beamforming constraints. Due to the intractability of the problem, a worst-case relaxation is carried out. It is shown that the dual problem can be recast as a semidefinite program, and the optimal codebook is the principle eigenvector of a weighted array response matrix. It is shown numerically that the proposed design outperforms a state-of-the art algorithm, with improvement of up to 33% in detection performance.","PeriodicalId":240202,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems 2017","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132702222","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}
