The proposed algorithm reduces the decoding computation significantly by terminating the decoding process earlier when the segment decoding results fail to pass the corresponding CRC check. The decoding results are checked once a segment decoding is complete. Furthermore, we propose a transmission strategy after the decoding process fails to save the transmitting symbols and therefore improve the spectral efficiency. The numerical results show that our proposed SCA-spinal code reduces decoding complexity and improves spectral efficiency.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115567734","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 becomes the necessity of retailers and utilities to provide the consumers more effective demand response programs for handling the uncertainties of their consumption patterns. In order to deal with the unceratian behaviours of the consumers and their unprecedented high volume of data, this work introduces the deep neuro-fuzzy optimizer for effective load and cost optimization. Three premises parameters: energy consumption, price and time of the day and two consequents parameters: peak and cost reduction are used for the opti-mization process of the optimizer. The dataset is taken from the Pecan Street Incorporation site and Takagi Sugeno fuzzy inference system is used for the evaluation of the rules developed from the memebership functions of the parameters. Membership Functions (MFs) are chosen as Guassian MFs for continuously monitoring the consumers’ behaviours. Performance of this proposed energy optimizer is validated through the simulations which shows the robustness of optimizer in cost optimization and energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116405688","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 new co-simulation framework is implemented to combine the complementary features of optimization toolbox with channel modeling (in Matlab) and discrete event-driven mobility tracking (in NS3).

Nevertheless, milk collection is a difficult logistical problem that has long been of interest to researchers. In addition, some dairies notably those in Senegal’s sylvo-pastoral zone (Ferlo), encounter many problems related to the impossibility of communicating with their surroundings because they are in white areas ( i.e areas where the services of telecommunications operators are not available). This affects their efficiency in the daily collection of milk from the production unit to the milk processing unit. In this paper, thanks to the ramp-up of LPWANs, especially Long Range(LoRa) technology, we build a communication system that facilitates the collection, manipulation and presentation of data related to milk collection in these areas. The system enables the creation of a system that helps in the decision making to support logistical management in the milk collection sector.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132503656","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, the major challenge lies in initial access beamforming where mmWave communications suffer from deafness problem that may cause a significant loss in the received power especially when narrow beams are adopted. This paper tackles the problem of beam alignment in mmWave 5G. The problem is formulated as a non-cooperative game between transmitter and receiver where each player tries to align its beamforming direction in a way to obtain maximum throughput. We first provide a full characterization of pure Nash equilibria. Then, we propose a gradient descent algorithm that allows users to learn their optimal beamwidth. Simulation results prove the performance of our beam alignment model since mmWave frequencies deliver narrow beams with high gain and significant capacity.","PeriodicalId":363800,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124993176","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}

Randomness in the electric load data is removed using EMD, whereas, ELM is used to forecast the day, week and month ahead electricity load. To illustrate the usefulness of EMD-ELM, the performance is compared with the renowned neural networks namely Convolution Neural Network (CNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and ELM.
