As of now, there are few researches on high-frequency UWA channels. In this paper, we investigate the transmission characteristics of high-frequency UWA channels with high-frequency background noise in shallow sea. Firstly, we present the physical characteristics of high-frequency UWA channels, including multi-path effect, Doppler Effect, and marine background noise at high-frequency. Then, the multi-scale time-varying UWA channel (MTUAC) model is introduced to compare with the field test results of high-frequency UWA channels in two sea areas along the coast of Fujian, China. Finally, the transmission characteristics of mid-low- and high-frequency UWA channels are simulated by using the MTUAC model respectively. The differences in characteristics (multi-path structures and Doppler spread) between the two kinds of UWA channels are highlighted. The results show that due to attenuation and scattering, the number of multi-path in high-frequency UWA channel is less than that in mid-low-frequency UWA channel. In addition, the time variation and the Doppler spread of high-frequency UWA channel are relatively more serious.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"454 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125792203","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 consider a cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network, where a large number of distributed access points with multiple antennas simultaneously serve a smaller number of users in a geographic coverage without cell boundary. To alleviate the limitation of orthogonal resource and further enhance network capacity, non-orthogonal multiple access is applied to the CF massive MIMO network in both channel training and uplink transmission phases. First, we derive the closed-form expression of uplink transmission rate by taking into account the imperfect channel state information (CSI) caused by pilot contamination and channel statistics. Second, based on the obtained uplink rate expression, an energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem is formulated by optimizing power control scheme, and we propose a low-complexity algorithm to address the non-convex optimization. Finally, simulation results validate that the designed algorithm can improve EE significantly compared to benchmarks in different CSI cases and network setups.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614855","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}

However, due to the limitations of the TDD duplex technology, uplink coverage areas and indoor penetration are insufficient than Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) duplex technology. Therefore, it is necessary to find the coverage layer for 5G in lower band. In this paper, compared with TDD New Radio (NR) and FDD Long Term Evolution (LTE), FDD NR is studied based on 2.1GHz. Furthermore, a field trial was conducted to examine the performance of FDD NR. Results show that FDD NR can be compatible with TDD NR and FDD LTE.

Several works had explored the one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) off grid methods to handle the fractional delay and Doppler shift. However, the 1D off-grid method is computationally complex and the 2D off-grid method suffers performance degradation. One reason of performance degradation in 2D off-grid method is the tandem off-grid distortion introduced during the estimation of intermediate channel matrix in its first step. To mitigate the tandem off-grid distortion, a 2D off-grid decomposition and SBL combination method is proposed in this paper. In our method, the received symbols are firstly processed by two paralleling branches, i.e., the U-branch and the V-branch, based on the decomposition of the OTFS symbols in different dimension. The two branches are used to estimate the off-grid parameters and the channel matrix simultaneously and independently, leading to complementarity in representing the received symbols. Then the obtained two channel matrices and the off-grid parameters are combined to iteratively construct the final channel matrix based on the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework. Through the off-grid decomposition and SBL combination, the channel matrix is better represented and higher accuracy could be achieved. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the method.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648927","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}

Although recent works have made great progress for human activity recognition at multiple locations, most of them rely on high-resolution data, adequate training samples and large-scale networks to model human activities, which ignores serial floating-point operations on CPU-driven devices and memory consumption limitations. Therefore, to address above issue, this paper proposes a Lightweight Mobile Temporal Convolution Network (LM-TCN). On the one hand, the proposed approach uses the fully 1-D convolution framework to provide time-shift invariant inductive bias. On the other hand, the combination of invert bottleneck and gated mechanism optimizes the computational load of the conventional residual structure to prevent overfitting under few training samples. Experimental results show that the average accuracy of the proposed LM-TCN is 95.2% across all 24 predefined locations, which is 2.9% higher than the baseline TCN while the calculation cost is reduced to 6% of TCN. It is worth noting that only 10 samples and 15 subcarriers for each activity at each location are used for training.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129595778","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}
