However, in spite of its practical relevance, the impact of the channel's non-stationarities on the performance of the vehicular communication systems (VCS) has barely been investigated, and is therefore not fully understood. To increase the knowledge on such important subject, we present in this paper a comparative performance analysis of six channel estimation techniques for VCS based on the IEEE 802.11p Standard, namely, the Least Squares (LS), Spectral-Temporal Averaging (STA), Modified STA (MSTA), Constructed Data Pilots (CDP), Frequency Linear-Averaged Data Pilot (FLDP), and Time-Domain Reliable Frequency-Domain Interpolation (TRFI) estimation techniques. Using a novel simulation framework, we evaluate the estimators' performance in terms of their bit error rate (BER) for the case when the propagation channel fulfills the wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) condition, and also for the case when such condition is not met. The obtained results show that the estimation techniques that apply a joint time-frequency interpolation (STA, FLDP, and TRFI) are considerably more sensible to the channel's non-stationarities than the techniques that only interpolate in the time domain (MSTA and CDP).","PeriodicalId":332646,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125144171","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}

Among the next-generation vehicle networks challenges it is the guarantee of on-board entertainment service delivery quality. For this purpose, this article evaluates vehicular traffic with Internet-based video services requests, using a 5G network approach based on software defined networking (SDN). Specified features and requirements of the international mobile telecommunications for 2020 and beyond (IMT-2020)systems have guided the proposal. Simulations were performed through the Network Simulator ns-3. The simulations adopted enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)use cases, employing millimeter wave (mmWave)communications. The two main metrics - transfer rate, and transmission delay - were analyzed and compared. The results show satisfactory performance to the V2X communications stringent requirements, when adopting millimeter waves on the future 5G networks.","PeriodicalId":332646,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115901880","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}

Motivations, visions, trends and expectations for 6G are first discussed to set the ground for further development. Four main research areas are proposed as the starting point, encompassing not only wireless communications but also computer science, electronics and material science as well as applications and services. The paper provides an in-detail list of technical topics going to be studied in this program, and in general, worth considering for everyone planning to develop beyond 5G technology. The paper also shed some light on how the research will be implemented, showing the logic and relationships between the research areas, discussing already selected promising enabling technology for 6G, as well as envisioning how the proof-of-concept of the developed system will be carried out.

This algorithm is implemented on a basic structure of an octagonal printed antenna which includes a search process based on finding an optimal solution for the effective length of a H-Shaped Notch filter located in the patch. The filter position in conjunction with the effective length determines the frequency ranges that will be rej ected and can be adjusted over the entire operational range of the antenna. In this case, it is proposed to rej ect the frequency bands for IEEE 802.11a and WLAN-HIPERLAN / 2 from 5.1 to 5.9 GHz by applying SA WOA, obtaining an effective filter length of approximately 18.6454 mm and positioned around 12.5269 mm from the power line to ensure an optimum rejection with a center frequency of 5.5 GHz. The dimensions for the optimized printed UWn $B$ octagonal antenna are 30 mm ⨯ 35 mm, with a bandwidth of3.1 to 12 GHz and a return loss less than −10 dB throughout the UWB frequency range except in the optimized rejection range. The proposed SA WOA algorithm uses a correlation-based cost function between the fitness agent and a previously defined response pattern, resulting in a shorter computational time to achieve best parameters providing a high structure precision as well as high performance level.","PeriodicalId":332646,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131244904","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 new channel model is cemented on the electromagnetic theory of plane wave propagation and the geometry-based statistical modeling approach. Such framework allows obtaining a mathematically tractable and insightful description of the vehicular channel's non-stationary characteristics in the time and frequency domains. The first-order statistics, correlation properties, and spectral characteristics of the proposed channel model are thoroughly analyzed. In addition, the model's suitability to reproduce empirical data is discussed by considering its fitting against the measured Doppler profile of a real-world vehicle-to-infrastructure channel. The non-stationary doubly-selective Rice fading channel model presented here can be used as a benchmark for the performance evaluation of emerging vehicular communication systems in propagation scenarios where the rather unrealistic wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS)condition is not fulfilled.","PeriodicalId":332646,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134185076","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 deal with this task, a higher-order multilinear approach is used to model the space-time coding and decoding processes carried out in the communicating nodes. Particularly to mitigate the problem of interference between users, a routine named Interference Subtraction (IS) is used in conjunction with the proposed semi-blind receiver, called DKRF-IS. In this work, uniqueness and identifiability conditions required for the use of the receiver are developed. Performance evaluation using Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the validity of the presented equations and the effectiveness of the proposed receiver.","PeriodicalId":332646,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121464020","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}
