The solution is based on detecting the bounding box of the UE-object and deducing from the temporal behavior of the bounding box whether the object is about to be blocked by an obstacle. It is shown that such detection approach allows one to predict the blockage as the bounding box starts to become smaller much before the full blockage occurs. Simulation results indicate that the proposed visual blockage prediction scheme can significantly reduce the latency of URLLC networks by preventing packet errors due to blockage and the associated reduction in link quality. In macro cell scenarios, the latency reduction is as much as 5 ms. In addition, we also show that the detection range of the proposed solution is sufficient for most industrial applications; with a 4K camera, reasonably sized objects can be detected from as far as 130 m away.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"34 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":"128712000","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}

For the low-band, the first mixer is bypassed and the second mixer used for down-conversion. For the high-band, both mixers are used for down-conversion. This results in reducing the LO tuning range by over 50% as compared to a regular sliding IF scheme. The design is evaluated using simulations of the designed mixer in 22nm CMOS technology, achieving a conversion gain of over 5 dB throughout the RF bandwidth, a minimum IIP3 of 4.9 dBm and minimum noise figure of 5.1 dB.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"48 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":"114582111","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, with conventional radio technology, a complete radio frequency (RF) chain is required for each band, limiting the possible increase due to space and energy consumption restraints in the mobile station (MS). This paper presents and measures a single RF chain radio for concurrent reception of three non-contiguous bands transmitting 16-QAM LTE signals, using a tunable analogue front-end and software defined radio (SDR) techniques. The receiver sensitivity is degraded by only 6dB under worst-case concurrent reception, compared with reception of a single band. This demonstrates that complex signaling techniques can be received concurrently with a single radio chain while meeting the 3GPP standards, opening the way to compact, efficient, multiband receivers for future standards.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"16 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":"129367955","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}

These detection probabilities are used during data association and measurement update, which are important steps in any SLAM method.

Three main scenarios of the coexisting signalling are addressed under 5G new radio (5G NR) numerology with varying subcarrier spacing. Using numerical simulations, this work reports performance results of systems operating under the studied coexistence scenarios assuming uncoded and coded signals. Results reveal that systems employing SEFDM and OFDM result in some BER degradation when uncoded signals are used and also show that when applying low-density parity-check (LDPC) to the transmitted signals, the coexistence effects are mitigated and the block error rate (BLER) for both orthogonal and non-orthogonal signals suffers only slight degradation.","PeriodicalId":385212,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd 6G Wireless Summit (6G SUMMIT)","volume":"12 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":"121222044","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}

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) can address these problems by bringing computational capacity within or next to the base stations of access networks. Furthermore, to cope with access network problems, the capability of providing the most critical processes at the local network layer is also important.
