In order to achieve reliability and power efficiency, in this paper, a vehicular trellis architecture (VTA) is proposed. VTA allows traffic information to be transmitted either via vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), through the dedicated remote radio head (RRH) and its dynamically select vehicle(s) or, direct vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. We investigated the adaptive switching over V2I/V2V, to enhance efficient system reliability while optimizing the average power consumption of VTA. This paper presents a vehicular trellis algorithm (VTRA), which approximate solutions to the optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the selection of joint V2I/V2V communication reduces the total power consumption of the system for a varying number of threshold distance and vehicles.","PeriodicalId":348099,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring)","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121140464","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}

It provides a better tradeoff between scheduling flexibility and overhead reduction as compared to existing approaches.

All users employ WiFi for uplink whereas one access point (WiFi or VLC) is assigned for each user to maximize the overall capacity of the network. We propose a new reinforcement learning algorithm which can be implemented at the WiFi AP and results in the selection of an access point such that the total throughput is maximized. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed method improves the total system throughput significantly.

We demonstrate that the operational altitude of the multi-UAV network determines the severity of cellular interference across low-to-high transmit power regimes. In particular, UAVs operating at higher altitudes are less affected by cellular interference, with higher finite SNR diversity gains and lower outage probability floors observed. Thus, interference mitigation techniques may have to be considered when multi-UAV networks are operating at low altitudes in areas with cellular networks.","PeriodicalId":348099,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114109186","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}

During the busy time, the FBS and PBS-UAV simultaneously harvest energy from the macro base station, and FBSs transmit data to users. During the spare time, multiple FBSs are replaced by the PBS-UAV to communicate with users in downlink. The power allocation problem is modeled as an optimization problem.

In SPMA, in order to keep the network in a favorable loading situation and ensure 99 percent first time success rate for packets of the highest priority, priority thresholds are normally set to fixed values. However, this fixed threshold strategy is not necessarily optimal when the transmission rate at each node varies due to the change of channel condition. To improve the performance, in this paper, we propose an adaptive priority-setting strategy for SPMA, accounting for the change of transmission rates at network nodes. The performance enhancement from the proposed strategy is validated through numerical simulations. In particular, it is shown that higher throughput and lower latency are achieved when the number of nodes supporting high transmission rate increases, while 99 percent first time success rate for the packets of the highest priority is guaranteed when it decreases.","PeriodicalId":348099,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring)","volume":"581 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116339836","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}

For URLLC, repetition transmission was specified to satisfy a requirement of reliability. In a conventional scheme, the performance is improved by combining bit log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) at each repetition transmission. Although it is ordinal to secure radio resources for single URLLC user equipment (UE) to avoid severe inter-UE interference (IUI), it is effective to share a radio resource among plural UEs to increase spectrum efficiency. By introducing the soft interference cancelation, the proposed scheme can efficiently suppress the negative impact of IUI while keeping the similar processing delay as the conventional scheme.","PeriodicalId":348099,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116499819","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}

As 5G technology is still evolving to support vehicles, and mmWave is reflected and blocked by vehicles, it remains unclear if the target rates for the use cases can be achieved. Motivated by the different data rate requirements, we introduce a methodology for evaluating rates in 5G mmWave V2X scenarios. Our approach leverages available city CAD models, realistic traffic simulators, and industry standard ray tracing tools to allow site-specific propagation evaluation. This approach may be used to devise insight into the role of traffic density, antenna array placement, and base station density in important urban propagation settings. Results are provided that highlight the application to develop a rate map for an urban intersection. They show that rate increases in dense deployments by more than ten percent per base station, but only decreases about one percent when going from light to heavy traffic.","PeriodicalId":348099,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114708874","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 this end, two kinds of suppression frames that comply with the 802.11 protocol are analyzed, which respectively borrow the ideas of virtual carrier-sense attack and spoofing. The validity of each of the frames is then verified both qualitatively and quantitatively by the designed experiments with multiple commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 802.11 devices.
