C-V2X communication envisions supporting a diverse range of use cases with varying quality of service (QoS) requirements. For example, cooperative collision avoidance re-quires stringent reliability, while infotainment use cases require a high data throughput. C-V2X communication remains susceptible to performance degradation due to network congestion. This paper presents a centralized congestion control scheme for C-V2X communication based on the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework. A performance evaluation of the algorithm is conducted based on system-level simulation based on TAPASCologne scenario in the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) platform.

These city profiles are typically created and updated by the Cloud using reported raw sensor data. However, continuously reporting raw sensor data is not energy efficient for boundary computing resources of a network. Thus, this work considers edge servers that are deployed on the boundary computing resources of a network to collaborate with the Cloud for adaptively mitigate city profiling tasks (i.e., creating city profiles) across an edge server and the Cloud. By maintaining the local city profiles on the edge or the global city profiles on the Cloud, either an edge or the Cloud can dynamically respond to user queries. However, there is a trade-off between the energy consumption of an edge and the response accuracy of the city profiles. This work designs an adaptive city profiling and synchronization approach for edges to decide when, where (i.e., an edge or the Cloud), and how to update and synchronize local and global city profiles such that the energy consumption of the edge is reduced while the accuracy of a city profile can be guaranteed. Extensive simulations are conducted using a real-world temperature dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. The simulation results indicate an average energy saving of 60% of edges compared with a typical Cloud-based approach while the required accuracy is fulfilled.","PeriodicalId":283606,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233095","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}

We thus recently proposed an enlarged 5G PRACH preamble construction by covering ZC sequences with cubic-phase Alltop sequences. This construction significantly increases the PRACH sequence set while maintaining a similar intra-cell detection performance from a guaranteed low-correlation zone, and with limited inter-cell interference. However, unlike ZC, the new sequences did not come with a low-complexity PRACH detection which then had to naively rely on an exhaustive search, significantly increasing the PRACH receiver complexity. In this paper, we revisit this extended PRACH sequence construction and modify it to enable a detection of the same complexity-order as current 5G PRACH sequence set, without impacting the detection performance and promised PRACH capacity. Moreover, we describe a symmetrical but slightly non-equivalent PRACH sequence construction that achieves a similar performance and enables the same low-detection capability. Interestingly, this latter construction can be reduced to show that only pure Alltop and ZC sequences may concurrently be used in the network.","PeriodicalId":283606,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116657355","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 order to design strategic radio environments, this system takes advantage of RIS-based communication and adjusts the propagation channels. Furthermore, using SSK as a special case of the Spatial Modulation (SM) reduces the detection complexity by using only the index of the active antenna to transmit the data. However, when considering an effective RIS-SSK system, the transmit antenna is modeled by spatial constellation points with different weights. This requires the knowledge of Channel State Information (CSI), including the index of the activated antenna at each transmission which is impractical. In contrast, blind RIS-SSK does not require this information, decreasing its complexity and increasing its practicality. In this paper, a blind RIS-SSK system without phase-adjusting is studied in the presence of hardware impairments and compared to the standard SSK. Additionally, analytically error probability expressions based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) detector are developed and proven with simulations. The results illustrate the negative effects of modeling the hardware impairments for robust RIS-SSK system implementation.","PeriodicalId":283606,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116684167","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}

By combining RRA with advanced sleep modes (ASMs), one could achieve relatively higher energy savings (ES) during the low traffic hours of the day while managing to meet the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the user equipments (UEs). However, identifying appropriate resources for a certain period is challenging as different resources (i.e., the bandwidth and the antenna array size) have a varying impact on the instantaneous power consumption (PC) and activity of the BS. Various works have looked into the potential of RRA and ASMs in reducing the EC of a BS when implemented independently. In this work, we combine RRA with ASMs and propose a dynamic Q-learning algorithm that adapts a BS’s resources according to the traffic demand. The algorithm also takes into account the sleep modes (SMs) that the BS can switch to during the idle periods. Through simulations, we show the convergence of our algorithm and the impact of combining RRA with ASMs on the overall ES as we observe up to 16% additional savings in a super-dense urban (SDU) deployment scenario by combining these techniques as compared to the baseline scenario using only ASMs.","PeriodicalId":283606,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124828603","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}

This work studies a full-duplex (FD) wireless powered cooperative communication network (WPCCN), in which the users communicate to a hybrid access point (HAP) via decode-and-forward (DF) EH relay nodes. We present an optimization framework for the relay selection problem with an objective of maximizing the sum throughput of the FD-WPCCN, for the first time in the literature. The formulated optimization problem is a mixed integer non-linear programming problem (MINLP), which is difficult to solve for global optimal solution. As a solution strategy, we first analyze the problem for a given relay allocation and prove that it is a convex problem. We solve the problem for the optimal solution by using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Then, for the relay selection problem, we present a polynomial time heuristic algorithm based on the allocation of relay with the best channel conditions to each user. Through extensive simulations, we show that the proposed algorithm performs close to the optimal solution for various network parameters such as different HAP transmission power values, network sizes, and initial battery level of the nodes. We observe that the sum throughput of the network can be increased significantly by using a proper relay selection technique.","PeriodicalId":283606,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125923512","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 case, teleportation frames from individual sources need to be stringently synchronized in order to assure user Quality of Experiences (QoE) in terms of avoiding the perception of motion misalignment at the receiver side.

Measurements for system calibration are collected via a beam-sweep between all pairs of antenna panels. We lay out the system model for this new setup, and propose a maximum likelihood-based procedure to compute calibration coefficients based on the collected measurement set.
