A typical application scenario for this is the transmitter being a simple sensor while the demand for data is created by an application running at the receiver side and pulled from the transmitter as needed. We formulate two offline transmission scheduling problems: the transmitter-centric WET transmission optimization problem, where the schedule is computed by the transmitter, and the receiver-centric WET transmission optimization problem, where the receiver computes the schedule. We provide explicit solutions of both problems and propose online policies that rely on using the estimated water level values for each case. Our formulation allows direct optimization of energy efficiency in contrast to other EH transmission scheduling formulations in the literature. We prove some equivalence results under the special case of fixed channels.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129662367","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 allocate available resources, we solve the optimization problem of each player to characterize their optimal strategies. Considering the intractability of the closed form Nash equilibrium for general power regime, we show the existence of pure Nash equilibrium point for low total power regimes of the transmitter and the jammer and attain an expression for each regime. Finally, we examine the jamming power effect on the secrecy sum-rate and acquire lower and upper bounds of this rate using simulations.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129434242","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}

Traditionally the focus for mobile broadband has been to optimize the system throughput for high speed data traffic. However the optimization criteria for URLLC should focus on achieving small packets transmissions under strict targets such as 99.999% reliability within 1 ms. Power control is one candidate technology component for improving reliability and latency. In this work we investigate the power control for grant-free URLLC transmissions through extensive system level simulations in a urban outdoor scenario. We initially compare different settings for open loop power control (OLPC) with full and with fractional path loss compensation. Then we evaluate whether power boosting the retransmission can reduce the probability of packets delays under the 1 ms constraint. We also discuss the practical implication of applying power boosting. With full path loss compensation and boosting retransmissions, we show that a URLLC load such as 1200 small packets per second per cell can be achieved in the considered scenario.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117061977","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 of the previous measurement based channel models for urban environments do not extend to users located at heights above rooftops. On the other hand, UAVs are expected to fly at the very low level (VLL) airspace, in heights much lower than those covered by previous air-to-ground models. By means of field measurements, this paper presents height-dependent closed form expressions for the urban channel model (path loss slope and shadowing) extending to heights up to 40 m and compares the observed results with 3GPP reference models and previous studies. Measurements were conducted by a radio scanner attached to a construction-lift to measure the radio signal from three different live LTE networks (800, 1800, and 2600 MHz). Results suggest radio path clearance increases with height. As a consequence, it leads to an increase in number of cells in the detectable range and in the set of neighbors within 3 dB of the serving cell in the receiver, indicating neighbor cells are closer to each other in the power domain.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122916580","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}

A lot of works have used wireless signals from existing base stations to track users' locations. The major challenge to such systems is the signal-drifting problem. A promising direction to conquer this problem is to fuse the tracked wireless signals with inertial sensing data. In this work, we consider location tracking in a multi-floor building, which we call a 2.5-D space, by taking wireless signals, inertial sensing data, and indoor floor plans of a 2.5-D space as inputs and building a SPF (sensor-assisted particle filter) model to fuse these data. Inertial sensors are to capture human mobility, while particles reflect our belief of the user's potential locations. Our work makes the following contributions. First, we propose a model to partition a 2.5-D space into multiple floors connected by stairs and elevators and further partition each floor, according to its floor plan, into logical units connected by passages. Second, based on the 2.5D space model, we then propose particle sampling and resampling mechanisms over the logical units using wireless signal strengths and inertial sensing data to adjust our beliefs of the user's potential locations. Third, to conquer the signal-drifting problem, we propose a weighting mechanism to control the distribution of particles based on user's activities of walking on grounds/stairs and taking elevators. A prototype has been developed and tested to verify the model and its accuracy.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115048133","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 channel affects both uplink communication (when the vehicle sends its state information to the controller) and downlink information (when the vehicle receives control actions from the controller). We propose a probabilistic framework to compute control actions at the controller in the presence of such unreliable communications. The controller is evaluated under different channel conditions and compared to two nominal controllers, one that assumes perfect communication and one that assumes no communication. We find that for low packet loss rates, the proposed controller leads to less aggressive control actions than the former and generally lower cost than the latter. We additionally consider the mismatch between the perceived knowledge of the channel at the controller, and the actual channel conditions. We evaluate the performance of our controller under this mismatch, which is of interest when the controller is designed.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"25 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120937147","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 tackle this problem, the conventional concept of softly reusing the spectrum resources for the inner regions of the neighboring cells has been extended to reuse the pilot resources so as to accommodate more users. Alternatively, properly selecting the users to reuse the pilots among the neighboring cells can alleviate the pilot contamination problem as well. In this paper, we delicately integrate these two concepts to properly reuse the pilots allocated to the outer regions of the cells. By well designing the hazard-and secure-edge regions to manage the pilot reuse, the increment of interference can be effectively suppressed; and, consequently, the more accommodated users can contribute to the remarkably higher sum data rates.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132967649","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}

Proposed optimal receiver filter maximizes signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of desired user with TO and CFO in Rayleigh channel. Based on SIR expression derived in closed form in the presence of TO and CFO, we obtain the optimal receiver filter by solving Rayleigh quotient problem.

Accordingly, vehicles communicate directly with their counterparts utilizing the allotted subchannels. Due to its loosely controlled one-to-all nature, V2V mode-3 is advantageous for time-critical applications. Nevertheless, it is imperative that the assignment of subchannels is accomplished without conflicts while at the same time satisfying quality of service (QoS) requirements. To the best of our knowledge, there exists no unified framework for V2V mode-3 that contemplates both prevention of allocation conflicts and fulfillment of QoS. Thus, four types of conditions that are of forceful character for attaining QoS-aware conflict-free allocations have been identified: (i) assure differentiated QoS per vehicle, (ii) preclude intra-cluster subframe conflicts, (iii) secure minimal time dispersion of allotted subchannels and (iv) forestall one-hop inter-cluster subchannel conflicts. Such conditions have been systematized and merged in an holistic manner allowing non-complex manipulation to perform subchannel allocation optimization. In addition, we propose a surrogate relaxation of the problem that does not affect optimality provided that certain requisites are satisfied.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122796262","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}
