It also plays an important role in many novel systems such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings and houses, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. Different from the requirements for localization technology in the past, today’s indoor localization systems need to provide not only the two-dimensional (2-D) location information of the target but also stable three-dimensional (3-D) information. Most of the existing localization methods in wireless communication consider the communication systems using conventional monopole antennas. However, in many application scenarios such as smart manufacturing factories, the shielding and interference effects of metallic objects on radio waves limit the performance of conventional monopole antennas. It is often necessary to increase the number of access points (APs) with additional complexity and cost to guarantee entire wireless coverage. Leaky coaxial cable (LCX) which can be used as antennas for wireless communication can be employed to solve this problem. As a long and flexible cable, LCX can provide promising wireless coverage for stable wireless communication and localization. This paper proposes a 3-D localization method using multiple LCXs in an indoor environment. The proposal is based on a particle filter algorithm and uses the time of arrival (TOA) of the signal as the indicator for filtering.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114965568","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}

Specifically, these underwater wireless sensors (UWSs) are deployed at the seafloor, which partially offloads their sensed information to unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for assist computing. USV acts as a relay to offload part of its data to UAVs. We formulate three optimization problems to optimize the utility of UWSs, USVs, and UAVs, respectively. To address the formulated problems, we propose efficient algorithms to derive the solutions, which can maximize the utility of each participant. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed algorithms, and the results show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in comparison with the benchmark schemes.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115411936","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 present the first extensive evaluation of LoRa 2.4 GHz in a typical indoor environment, both in the presence and lack of human and WiFi activities. We run an exhaustive evaluation of all 128 possible combinations of the different LoRa physical parameters (spreading factor, bandwidth and coding rate) and we show that despite the use of higher frequency, LoRa is capable of maintaining a good connectivity throughout the building, similar to what was observed in sub-GHz bands. Still, some configurations were clearly affected by the daily life activities in the building during the working hours of weekdays.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117108693","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 focus on subnetworks for industrial wireless control applications and propose an advanced frequency resource allocation scheme, denoted as sequential iterative subband allocation (SISA), which is designed to minimize the sum interference-to-signal ratio over all subnetwork links. Through extensive system level simulations, we evaluate the benefits of the proposed SISA scheme and compare it with the state-of-the-art.

However, the same objects in the driving environment may simultaneously appear in the line of sight of multiple CAVs. Consequently, this leads to much irrelevant and redundant information being exchanged in the V2V network. This overloads the communication channel and reduces the CPM delivery to CAVs, thereby decreasing CP awareness. To address this issue, we mathematically formulate CP information usefulness as a maximization problem in a multi-CAV environment and introduce a distributed multi-agent deep reinforcement learning approach based on the double deep Q-learning algorithm to solve it. This approach allows each CAV to learn an optimal CPM content selection policy that maximizes the usefulness of surrounding CAVs as much as possible to reduce redundancy in the V2V network. Simulation results highlight that the proposal effectively mitigates object redundancy and improves network reliability, ensuring increased awareness at short and medium distances of less than 200 m compared to state-of-the-art approaches.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127435980","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}
