We start with a two-user system consisting of one real-time user and one best-effort user, in which the optimal beamforming scheme is proposed to maximize the instantaneous rate of the best-effort user under the rate constraint of the real-time user and per-antenna-power constraint. Two suboptimal transmission schemes are then proposed to reduce the computational complexity and feedback overhead, respectively. Furthermore, we propose a round-robin based scheduler to extend the proposed schemes to a general multiuser system, such that the outage probability of the real-time users is minimized. System-level simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better performance than two reference schemes.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124690579","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}

Most applications rely on beaconing mechanisms to broadcast the presence and updated information of a vehicle to surrounding neighbors. However, due to the broadcasting nature, no acknowledgement mechanism is provided. Therefore, vehicles do not perceive beacon collision if two or more vehicles simultaneously broadcast the beacons. Consequently, vehicles miss updated information from their neighbors. In this paper, we propose V-DESYNC, an algorithm that distributively desynchronizes vehicles to broadcast beacons at different times based on only timing information. V-DESYNC is designed to avoid the beacon collision and tolerate the highly dynamic behavior of vehicular networks. Our evaluation results indicate that V-DESYNC can significantly reduce the number of beacon collisions without decreasing the beaconing rate on vehicular networks.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129448544","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 reality, it is difficult for the secondary users (SUs) to obtain perfect channel state information (CSI) related to the primary users (PUs) due to the lack of cooperation between the SUs and the PUs. We assume that only instantaneous CSI of the secondary link and statistical CSI of the other links is available to the SUs. This assumption not only reveals the realistic challenges, but also brings mathematical challenges in solving the optimization problem in closed form, since the performance evaluated with statistical CSI involves expectation operations. We reformulate the objective function in closed form and derive the optimal power allocation solution. The feasibility of the solution is discussed. Furthermore, we provide several interesting insights into the achievable performance based on the properties of the solution.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129457757","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 periodic spectrum sensing frame structure can provide reliable sensing agility by introducing sensing quiet periods among signal frames to protect the primary users (PUs) from interference. However, arranging too many intra-frame sensing quiet periods on CR signaling may degrade the quality of service (QoS) of the CR network. To solve this problem, active sensing, performing spectrum sensing and transmitting data simultaneously, has been proposed to replace the intra-frame sensing. One drawback of active sensing is that the sensing performance becomes limited due to the interference from CR network transmissions. In this paper, a new CR signal structure for active sensing based on the cyclostationary properties is proposed, with which the active sensing performance can be further improved while maintaining the QoS of the CR system. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly improves the detection performance of active sensing, especially when the signal strength from PUs is sufficiently low.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128682651","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 the case of conventional vehicle, turning radius is definitely limited by kinematic features with respect to wheel base, maximum steering angle and track width of the vehicle. Military and special purpose vehicles are required to overcome turning radius limitation in order to conduct urgent and emergency tasks and avoid enemies rapidly. The control purpose is achieved by minimizing lateral tire force of rear wheels using excessive wheel slip condition. It is possible for the vehicle to turn around central turning point using the proposed algorithm. The center turning point is defined based on the driver's intention. The coordinated control algorithm consists of three parts: an upper level controller that computes the desired net force and moment in order to make one point turning motion, a lower level controller distributes tractive and brake input torques of each wheel for excessive slip control and sensor/estimator provides vehicle information to controllers. Computer simulations have been conducted to evaluate performance of the proposed control algorithm. It has been shown from simulation results that turning performance can be significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127297296","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 way, the source XOR multiple lost packets from different receivers into one packet and retransmits it, then multiple receivers are able to recover their lost packets, which can effectively reduce the number of retransmissions and utilize wireless bandwidth. However, to find the optimal XOR coding set that minimizes the total number of transmissions has been proved as NP-hard and of high complexity. In this paper, we proposed a new wireless broadcast retransmission scheme based on linear random network coding, in which the source code combines all lost packets to a single one by linear network coding for retransmission, and receivers are able to decode the original packets by method of Gaussian elimination when they receive enough coded-packets.

Either the sparsity of the CIR, or the sparsity of the DFE filters may be exploited to derive efficient implementations of the DFE. To this end, compressed sampling (CS) approaches, already successful in system identification settings, can significantly improve the performance of the non sparsity aware DFE. Building on basis pursuit and matching pursuit techniques new DFE schemes are proposed that exhibit considerable computational savings, increased performance properties and short training sequence requirements. To investigate the performance of the proposed schemes the restricted isometry property in the common DFE setup is also investigated.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129921441","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 paper presents initial results on angle dependent path loss measurements impacted by the influence of a car body on electro-magnetic wave propagation. To this effect, a measurement methodology was developed to gather the attenuation effects of the car according to different antenna positions and measurement angles. Various kinds of attenuation measurements were performed. Vehicle shell attenuation measurements were transformed into angular-dependent path loss metrics and related to vehicle-specific attenuation properties like window inserts, roof columns, trunk or engine hood. Focus of attention was drawn to free space attenuation and intra-vehicle attenuation measurements.","PeriodicalId":333610,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 75th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130117743","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}
