To mitigate this problem, opportunistic routing (OR) has been proposed to improve the throughput of wireless multihop ad-hoc networks by taking advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless channels. However, OR can not be directly applied to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to some intrinsic design features of WSNs. In this paper, we present a new OR solution for WSNs with suitable adaptations to their characteristics. Our protocol, called SCAD - Sensor Context-aware Adaptive Duty-cycled beaconless opportunistic routing protocol is a cross-layer routing approach and it selects packet forwarders based on multiple sensor context information. To reach a balance between performance and energy-efficiency, SCAD adapts the duty-cycles of sensors according to real-time traffic loads and energy drain rates. We compare SCAD against other protocols through extensive simulations. Evaluation results show that SCAD outperforms other protocols in highly dynamic scenarios.","PeriodicalId":274734,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126768386","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}

Single-user multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO) is one of the key technologies in Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) systems. Thus, it has been proved to combine with NOMA for further system performance improvement. In previous studies, SIC receiver is adopted at cell center users (UEs), while SIC processing is not taken into account at cell-edge UEs, considering the feasibility of UE receiver and control signaling overhead. However, it may put limitation on the performance of NOMA. To further enhance the performance of NOMA with SU-MIMO, advanced receiver can be considered at cell-edge UEs. In this paper, we investigate the impact of applying the SIC receiver at cell-edge UEs in downlink NOMA with SU-MIMO. The detail SIC detection schemes at cell-edge UE will be discussed, including ideal SIC processing and non-ideal SIC processing. The simulation results show that performance gains of NOMA can be improved with SIC processing at cell-edge UEs. It indicates that more advanced receiver can be considered for cell-edge UE to achieve upper-bound performance.","PeriodicalId":274734,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116224078","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 propose a new channel estimation technique using virtual pilot signals for the MU-MIMO OFDM systems. In a nutshell, we choose reliable data tones from both desired and interfering signals as virtual pilot signal and improves the channel estimation quality using iterative detection and decoding (IDD) scheme.

In one part of this work, assuming local channel knowledge at each user, we quantify the minimum amount of feedback from the receiving node necessary for construction of optimal precoders at the users. In contrast to common feedback procedures, where the precoders are fed back to the users, we show that the amount of complex numbers to feedback is at most half when compared to feeding back the precoders. Furthermore, we investigate construction of precoders when limited feedback is available from the receiving node. Numerical results are presented that quantify the loss due to absence of optimal feedback, as well as the gain obtained from limited feedback with local channel knowledge compared to precoding without feedback and channel knowledge at the users.","PeriodicalId":274734,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128711783","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}

For each user, the renewable energies and arriving data packets with a constant rate are stored in energy (battery) and data buffers, respectively. Users have statistical packet delay constraints in terms of maximum acceptable delay-outage probabilities. We classify the users as prioritized and non-prioritized users. Our goal is to maximize the arrival rate of the non-prioritized user while supporting the minimum data rate requirements for the prioritized users. We reformulate the problem as an infinite-horizon Markov decision process (MDP) using asymptotic delay analysis and study the optimal scheduling and power control policy. Since the optimal policy requires centralized processing with high computational complexity, we develop a reduced-complexity distributed algorithm, which can be implemented at each individual user. Online algorithm is devised, which does not require the statistical knowledge of the channel fading and energy harvesting (EH) processes. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the centralized and distributed schemes for different delay constraints and EH settings.","PeriodicalId":274734,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130406509","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 ePAM-DMT allows the spectral efficiency gap between DCO-OFDM and other unipolar OFDM schemes to be completely closed. The proposed system is compared with DCO-OFDM in the context of an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. A closed-form theoretical bound on the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is derived and verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed scheme is energy efficient in terms of the electrical power consumption. The high optical energy dissipation of the proposed scheme makes it suitable for the illumination-based visible light communications (VLC) applications.","PeriodicalId":274734,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121499209","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}

Based on the Ray-Tracing, different path loss fitting method combining different antenna pattern and outage threshold are studied. According to observation of the comparison with these two fitting path loss methods, it is found that close-in-reference method can get more robust attenuation exponent. In addition, its shadow fading deviation will be less than floating intercept method in shorter transmit distance, and only increase less than 2dB for longer transmit distance.
