In this paper, we evaluate the throughput performance of precoding across multiple APs under channel aging and compare it with that of inter-AP coordinated user and beam selection to clarify the inter-AP coordinated scheme suitable for practical mmWave distributed MIMO systems. Simulation results show that the inter-AP coordinated user and beam selection achieves a higher throughput performance than the precoding. Moreover, to make the inter-AP coordinated user and beam selection more practical, we propose a coordinated selection method using reference signal received power (RSRP) database.

We consider the scenario of multi-terminal wireless uplink with random packet arrivals and study the system average peak AoI (PAoI) minimization and maximum PAoI minimization problem. First we derive a closed expression of the system average PAoI and sufficient and necessary conditions of the optimal policy, from which an optimal ratio based no butter policy (OR-NB) is developed. We further generalize it to a system design method to make the average PAoI of all terminals satisfy the corresponding hard constraints.

The UAV operates as a flying wireless relay, expanding a base station’s coverage and delivering capacity boost to a group of users/devices that are obscured by obstructions. We explore the geometry-based mmWave channel model for the UAV-User link and propose joint HP and UAV positioning scheme (JHPP). In particular, the RF beamformer is designed using singular value decomposition (SVD) of channel matrix by incorporating users’ angle-of-departure (AoD) information to reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains, and the baseband (BB) precoder is designed using regularized zero-forcing (RZF) technique to mitigate MU interference. Then, using a particle swarm optimization-based location algorithm (PSO-L), a constrained optimization problem with the goal of maximizing the achievable sum-rate (ASR) is constructed for the optimal UAV placement in the given search space. Illustrative results show that the integration of a UAV relay considerably enhances the performance of mmWave MU-mMIMO systems when the BS is remote. Moreover, compared to UAV random placement in the given flying span, PSO-L based UAV positioning has higher spectral/energy efficiency. Finally, the use of a hemispherical array (HSA) configuration at UAV relay can further increase the performance when compared to uniform rectangular array (URA).","PeriodicalId":326047,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 96th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2022-Fall)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131040413","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 NOMA, far user does not get access to the near user data, while near user can successfully decode far user data.

In this paper, we propose a novel RFF extraction method for Long Term Evolution-V2X (LTE-V2X) systems. In order to conquer the difficulty of extracting transmitter RFF in the presence of wireless channel and receiver noise, we first estimate the wireless channel which excludes the RFF. Then, we remove the impact of the wireless channel based on the channel estimate and obtain initial RFF features. Finally, we conduct RFF denoising to enhance the quality of the initial RFF. Simulation and experiment results both demonstrate that our proposed RFF extraction scheme achieves a high identification accuracy. Furthermore, the performance is also robust to the vehicle speed.","PeriodicalId":326047,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 96th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2022-Fall)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132735591","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}

Firstly, we establish the multipath propagation model for the case of horizental MIMO arrays, and divide the multipath into two categories, i.e., Type 1: multipath with direction-of-arrival (DOA) $neq$ direction-of-departure (DOD); Type 2: multipath with DOA$=$DOD. In the presence of multipath, the different DOA and DOD angles corrupt the notion of virtual array for MIMO radar, making angle estimation a major challenge. To jointly estimate the DOA and DOD of the target reflections, including both the direct path and multipath scenarios, we introduce a multipath iterative adaptive approach (MP-IAA), which possesses the super resolution, low sidelobe level, and robust properties for DOA and DOD estimation. Then, the Type 1 multipath with DOA$neq$DOD can be directly identified based on the MP-IAA’s DOA and DOD estimates. Regarding to the Type 2 multipath with DOA$=$DOD, we solve the triangle relationships to identify the corresponding ghost targets. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for angle estimation and ghost target identification using automotive MIMO radar.","PeriodicalId":326047,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 96th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2022-Fall)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133371660","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 support sustainable AirFL among energy-constrained IoT devices, we consider that the base station (BS) adopts simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) to distribute global model and charge local devices in each communication round. To maximize the long-term energy efficiency (EE) of AirFL, we investigate a resource allocation problem by jointly optimizing the time division, transceiver beamforming, and power splitting in SWIPT-enabled IoT networks.
