There are two types of VLC reception devices, a photodiode and an image sensor. VLC using image sensor is called image sensor based VLC. As the receiver only uses the image sensor pixels that sense LED transmission sources and discards other pixels, including those sensing noise sources, image sensor based VLC is an attractive solution for outdoor mobile applications. However, little evidence is available for channel modeling of image sensor based VLC in mobile outdoor environments, especially for motion modeling of VLC transmitter. In this paper, we propose a motion model of VLC transmitter. In particular, we consider three cases; infrastructure-to-vehicle VLC (I2V-VLC), vehicle-to-infrastructure VLC (V2I-VLC), and vehicle-to-vehicle VLC (V2V-VLC). As a result, we show that the motion model of the VLC transmitter on the captured image for the three aforementioned situations (i.e., I2V-VLC, V2I-VLC, and V2V-VLC) can be expressed in the identical pinhole camera model.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124862946","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 approach relies on two essential properties of a massive MIMO system, namely near-orthogonality between user channels and near-stability of channel powers. Signal processing techniques that take advantage of these properties allow us to view a set of contaminated pilot signals as a graph code on which iterative belief propagation can be performed. This makes it possible to decontaminate pilot signals and increase the throughput of the system. The proposed solution exhibits high performance with large improvements over the conventional method. The improvements come at the price of an increased error rate, although this effect is shown to decrease significantly for increasing number of antennas at the base station.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124442216","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}

Free space optic (FSO) links are becoming an appealing, secure and high rate alternative to RF. To ensure a reliable cellular backhaul, redundancy provisions for disjoint paths between the nodes must be made in the network design phase. This paper presents cost-effective solutions, using FSO links and mirrors, that can be employed to upgrade a cellular backhaul with pre-deployed optical fibers. An integer programming model is introduced to approach optimal FSO backhaul design, guaranteeing K-disjoint paths between each node pair. We use realistic scenarios to demonstrate some optimal backhaul topologies by solving the model. We also illustrate the impact of K and the number of optical fibers on optimal solutions.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121849201","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}

Conventional detectors avoid performing joint detection due to the computational complexity involved in both synchronizing and then decoding two signals simultaneously. This paper proposes a system that detects the presence of interference during the decoding of a primary signal and determines the point in time where the interference begins. A genetic algorithm that continues decoding the primary signal while performing frequency and channel synchronization on the interferer is presented. Once synchronization is completed, a detection algorithm that allows the simultaneous decoding of the primary signal and the synchronized interferer is implemented. It is demonstrated by simulation that the span of 12 symbols, the length of an 802.11 training sequence, is sufficient for effective synchronization and joint detection. The deficiencies of the system and potential avenues for improvement in future work are explored.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"21 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130692973","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}

Classical TCM uses a signal constellation of twice the cardinality compared to an uncoded transmission with one bit of redundancy per PAM symbol, i.e., application of codes with rates n-1/2 when 2n denotes the cardinality of the signal constellation. In order to offer a higher granularity of rates, multi-dimensional (i.e., D-dimensional) constellations had been proposed by means of combining subsequent one- or two-dimensional modulation steps, resulting in TCM schemes with 1/D bit redundancy per (real) dimension. A recently published alternative approach allows rate adjustment for TCM by means of puncturing of the convolutional code (CC) on which a TCM scheme is based on. In this paper it is shown that punctured TCM not only offers a higher flexibility in rate adjustment but significantly less decoding complexity when compared to MD-TCM. Throughout the paper, structural delay is considered, which is a lower bound on the actual delay and describes the inevitable delay solely depending on the structural properties of the coding scheme but not on processing time, propagation delay, etc.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132105468","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}

Networked Edge Data-Centers (DCs) were selected as a physical infrastructure to handle IaaS Cloud requests. Doing so, we hold the potential of providing both a relatively high degree of independence between physical data centers' outages and an opportunity to reach economically IaaS cloud service users with low latency. An IaaS request is defined through two main requirements: Hosting and Networking resources. In literature, a number of works have proposed IaaS mapping approaches, however their focus was mainly on the cloud hosting requirements. Consequently, this may result in a high blocking of IaaS requests and a low utilization of resources inside the DCs due to stranding and fragmentation. To handle these drawbacks, we propose a joint optimization model of DCs and networking IaaS requirements that makes use of Column Generation technique coupled with a Branch and Bound approach in order to solve it efficiently.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133271101","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 subsequently provides a short overview of the DSA and CR research landscape in Europe and briefly describes the objectives of the Cognitive Radio Standardization Initiative (CRS-i). The following sections on the paper then focus on a survey which was conducted among the 26 currently funded, Radio Access and Spectrum related EU projects, with specific analysis also performed for the CR and DSA related sub-cluster of projects. This survey provides insight into projects' current standardization activities and collaboration methods, as well as opportunities and bottlenecks for collaboration in standardization. The paper concludes that the coordination of standardization efforts, as well as specific instruments to enable the standardization of research results beyond the project lifetime, are desirable if Europe is to play a role in the global standardization of CR and DSA. Based on the survey and on close interactions with RAS cluster projects, the paper finally proposes a number of concrete coordination trajectories.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751504","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}

Utilizing the maximum power level available results in the minimum level of handshake failures, however, such a strategy will also result in energy waste because it may not be necessary to utilize the maximum power level at each link. Alternatively, the optimal data and ACK packet transmission levels can be determined for each link that minimizes the energy cost of handshaking. Accomplishing this task requires that the packet failure rates for each combination of power levels for data and ACK packets are measured through a close loop scheme which brings extra overhead when compared to the strategy of employing the highest power level. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy based on random power level assignments that do not require the overhead necessary to measure the handshake failure rate, yet, at the same time performs better than the maximum power level assignment strategy. To evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy we built a novel mixed integer programming (MIP) framework. Our results show that random power assignment performs better than maximum power assignment in terms of network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":354340,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128592765","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}
