To avoid the co-channel interference to the LTE user equipment (UE) uplink transmission, the interference channel state information (CSI) is necessary for the NR UE to design the interference-free precoder. Since the operating band used for NR SUL corresponds to LTE FDD mode, the channel reciprocity condition in the time division duplex (TDD) mode is no longer held. To deal with it, the reciprocity on the channel related parameters for each path, i.e. amplitude, initial phase, propagation distance, angle of arrival, angle of departure, is exploited to estimate the uplink CSI from the NR UE to the LTE base station (BS) via the downlink CSI. Accordingly, the uplink waveform is designed for the NR UE to guarantee the absence of interference towards the LTE BS with the knowledge of uplink CSI. Numerical results are presented to validate the accuracy of the CSI estimation and the merit of the IDFT-VFDM as a potential waveform to achieve the LTE FDD-NR SUL co-existence.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132894672","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}

Wireless connectivity can bring benefits to both brown- and greenfield installations, to avoid cumbersome and expensive cable trenching or be used as a redundancy solution. Ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) technology developed in 5G networks promises support in this field. This paper presents performance results for 4G and 5G wireless systems enabling communication between switch yard and control room in digital substations. Evaluations of a 4G LTE Rel. 13 system was performed by measurements in lab environment and the performance of a 5G new radio (NR) network at the substation coexisting with surrounding macro network is done with system level simulations. Results of the tests and evaluations demonstrate the limitations of 4G LTE Rel. 13 connectivity, as well as capabilities to fulfill the communication needs in substation case using 5G NR system.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133661175","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}

The two-sided eavesdroppers E1 and E2 are considered, and A, E1 are distributed in a same cluster different from the cluster of B, E2, which will lead a more complex eavesdropping environment. We propose an optimal relay selection (ORS) scheme based on maximizing secrecy capacity to improve the security performance of proposed system. The closed-form expression for secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the proposed FD-TW ORS scheme is derived by appropriately ignoring the interference imposed on the two eavesdroppers side. Furthermore, the impact of average signal-to-noise (SNR), number of relays (K) and the average residual self-interference imposed on full-duplex nodes are analyzed and simulations show that the proposed FD-TWR ORS scheme under better self-interference suppression scheme always outperform the traditional HD-TWR ORS scheme in terms of SOP performance.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133807433","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}

Localization protocols rely on physical properties of the transmitted signals, such as Time-of-Flight or Received Signal Strength, which can be altered or impersonated by various types of attacks. Therefore, classical encryption techniques cannot guarantee the security of these localization protocols. Most off-the-shelf positioning platforms do not address the flaws related to localization. In addition, designers have a limited access to the various protocols, filters and algorithms involved in the localization chain, which poses a considerable obstacle to propose security solutions. This paper presents a prototyping platform called SecureLoc, open at every layer, for evaluating secure indoor localization methods based on Ultra-Wide Band Impulse Response (UWB-IR) technology, with respect to the cost and integration constraints of the IoT. We show the potential of SecureLoc for security evaluation and countermeasures through the case study of a spoofed acknowledgment attack. A novel analysis and evaluation of this attack is proposed. The robustness of SecureLoc localization chain against this attack is evaluated. Insights on future enhancements of this attack and possible low-cost countermeasures are provided.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115750811","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, due to the abundance of such platforms such as Ethereum, NEM, IOTA, and OpenChain, and the differences among them in terms of scalability, throughput, and features, it is not easy to select a platform for a given use-case. Selection of the right DLT platform is pivotal for the performance of applications and thus-forth directly affects consumer satisfaction. Therefore, the aforementioned factors must be taken into account to decide on a particular platform. To fill this gap, in this paper, we conduct a comparative analysis of different DLT platforms. The choice of platform is based on their popularity and current market share as well as the evolving trends and approaches. In essence, we choose Ethereum, EOS, Hyperledger Sawtooth and NEO. We compare these platforms from both development and performance perspectives. The comparison revealed that Sawtooth provides a huge customization capability that affects the performance and EOS maintains a stable throughput under varying network scales and loads.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114809620","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}

The orchestrator uses Device-to-Device (D2D) communication to improve user’s QoE, also reducing the demand on 4G network. The use of D2D is triggered by a machine learning engine. Experiments made in a physical testbed show an improvement on the mean horizontal video resolution from 768 to 1280 pixels, as well as a decrease of around 90% at the impact on the QoE, considering the number of video resolution changes.

Particularly, we analyse the cross-correlation in the random variation between pairs of links, in dependence of the separation angle between them. Given the extent of the data set, we believe the findings have statistical significance and can be used as a reference for calibrating models in simulation of mesh network performance. To this end, we discus the main contributing effects to link loss variability, including environment and body loss shadowing.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127195093","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}
