In this paper, a new distributed version of spatial modulation is proposed which achieves virtual full-duplex communication (VFD-DSM), allowing the source to transmit new data while the relay set forwards the source's data in every time slot. Two maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection methods at the destination are proposed for this VFD-DSM protocol: one, called local MAP, is based on processing the signals received over each pair of consecutive time slots, while the other, called global MAP, is based on symbol-error-rate optimal detection over an entire frame of data. Simulation results for the proposed VFD-DSM protocol indicate that for source data detection at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), VFD-DSM with local MAP detection can provide a similar error rate performance to that of successive relaying, while providing a significant throughput advantage since the relays can forward the source transmissions while also transmitting their own data. Furthermore, the use of global MAP detection is shown to yield a further 1.8 dB improvement in source data error rate while still maintaining this throughput advantage.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"87 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123445873","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 such an architecture, each gateway serves a cluster of adjacent beams such that the adjacent clusters are served through a set of gateways that are located at different geographical areas. However, such a system brings in two challenges to overcome. First, the inter-beam interference is the bottleneck of the whole system and applying interference mitigation techniques becomes necessary. Second, as the data demand increases, the ground and space segments should employ extensive bandwidth resources in the feeder link accordingly. This entails embedding an extra number of gateways aiming to support a fair balance between the increasing demand and the corresponding required feeder link resources. To solve these problems, this study investigates the impact of employing a joint multiple gateway architecture and onboard beamforming scheme. It is shown that by properly designing the on-board beamforming scheme, the number of gateways can be kept affordable even if the data demand increases. Moreover, Zero Forcing (ZF) precoding technique is considered to cope with the inter-beam interference where each gateway constructs a part of block ZF precoding matrix. The conceived designs are evaluated with a close-to-real beam pattern and the latest broadband communication standard for satellite communications.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128934386","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 VoD services with client pre-caching under asynchronous requests, where a client request watches the desired video from the beginning to the end. A requesting client can retrieve the data of the requested video from its local cache, other clients it meets via device-to-device (D2D) communication, and the BS multicast transmission. Under this model, we optimize the cache placement to minimize the average traffic rate of BS transmission by the optimal exploitation of BS multicast and cooperative caching. Specifically, we first formulate the cache placement problem into a separable concave minimization problem with convex constraints, which can be solved via convex underestimation and branch bound, where the global optimality is achieved at the cost of a very high computational complexity. To reduce the complexity, we further adopt the difference of convex algorithm. Moreover, two special cases are investigated, i.e., without D2D communication and without BS multicast. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme which combines BS multicast and cooperative caching.","PeriodicalId":360054,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115424243","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}

If the multi-antenna transmitter knows the vector channel to the energy harvester, it can design an optimal transmit covariance matrix that satisfies the energy harvesting requirement. However, it is impractical for the energy harvester to estimate the channel. In this paper, we propose a method to design the wireless transmission with a neural network. The transmitter uses a set of special beam patterns and the energy harvester measures the received power and feeds the power values back to the transmitters. The neural network then takes in the power values and outputs the transmit covariance matrix that can meet the energy harvesting requirement. The neural network is trained offline with a large number of simulated data.
