Sixth Generation communications (6G) will implement URLLC solutions capable of satisfying a large spectrum of latency and reliability requirements. Currently, control channels implemented in 5G NR suffer from low spectral efficiency, hence, in a high traffic network may fail to satisfy the URLLC requirements. Cyclic prefixed direct sequence spread spectrum (CP-DSSS) is an LTE compatible waveform that has recently been proposed as a more efficient signaling that better satisfies the needs of URLLC. In this article, CP-DSSS is further developed and its usefulness to a 3GPP-proposed factory floor is presented through a system-level simulation.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114651593","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 study the information freshness of a single-server multi-source queueing model under a first-come first-served (FCFS) serving policy. In the considered model, each source independently generates status update packets according to a Poisson process. The information freshness of the status updates of each source is evaluated by the average age of information (AoI). We derive an approximate expression for the average AoI for a multi-source M/G/1 queueing model having a general service time distribution. Simulation results are provided to validate and assess the tightness of the proposed approximate expression for the average AoI in the M/G/1 queueing model where the service time follows a gamma distribution.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122683514","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}

With the aim of achieving the capacity requirements in vehicular networks, large antenna arrays can be deployed at both the road side units (RSUs) side and the vehicles side. However, dynamic blockage caused by mobile obstacles in mmWave bands may hinder the system reliability. In this work, we study the temporal effects of dynamic blockage in vehicular networks and propose a deep reinforcement learning framework to overcome dynamic blockage. By dynamically adjusting blockage detection parameters and making intelligent handover decisions according to the observed states, system reliability can be significantly improved. Simulation results based on ray-tracing channel data show that the proposed scheme reduces the violation probability by 28.9% over conventional schemes.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"16 19","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141227405","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}
