Our results reveal that the proposed NCC system greatly exploits the diversity gains in multisource multirelay NCC systems and thus provides a considerable performance improvement. From the derived closed-form diversity gains, we also evaluate the optimal number of selected relays that maximizes the achievable diversity gain. Numerical results are also presented to validate the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"39 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":"121906174","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}

Instead of directly extending DOA estimation to DOA tracking, we construct an array data model including DOA change of adjacent time to decrease computational complexity and avoid grid effect. Thus, we regard DOA tracking as a parameter estimation problem in terms of Taylor expansion and Bayesian rule. Owing to the existence of hidden variables, we adopt the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to calculate the DOA change. More importantly, we realize DOA tracking by utilizing the estimated signal power and noise power when the number of signal sources varies with time. The proposed method is numerically evaluated with an assumption of uniform linear array. The results show that the proposed algorithm has higher tracking accuracy over conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"46 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":"115797138","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}

Then, we carefully consider the performance degradation resulting from the severe inter-cell interference, and formulate an optimization problem in terms of jointly optimizing precoders and decoders (JOPD) to seek an optimal transmission policy with quality of service (QoS) requirements of both cell-edge users and cell-center users, which consequently is a maximization of a nonconvex function with nonconvex constraints. To solve this challenging problem, we invoke the constrained concave convex procedure (CCCP) method to optimize precoders with fixed decoders, while the decoders can be readily optimized with obtained precoders. Consequently, we propose an alternating optimization algorithm based on CCCP (AoCCCP) to jointly optimize precoders and decoders and then obtain a suboptimal solution of the prime problem. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme exhibits significant performance gain in terms of sum rate as well as QoS guarantee.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"8 4 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":"122335628","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}

Location systems are of particular importance for indoor settings where GPS may be unavailable. While upcoming 5G systems will provide improved location accuracy, for a long time to come many areas will only have LTE coverage, and ubiquitous localization will thus also have to rely on LTE technology. To evaluate the location accuracy that can be achieved with current mobile systems, we implement a localization algorithm in a standard-compliant LTE testbed based on software-defined radios. We assess the localization accuracy in representative indoor scenarios. Despite a bandwidth of only 20MHz, the results show a good median error around 2m, but significantly larger errors may occur in non-line-of-sight cases. Nevertheless, the accuracy is sufficient for a range of potential applications.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"34 2 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":"116667059","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 propose an advanced DDC (Dynamic-Duplex Cellular) system applying IBFD to all cells in a multi-cell environment. The proposed system suppresses inter-cell interferences among all cells and enhances the system capacity with proper scheduling and power control without information exchange among neighboring cells while maintaining compatibility with the conventional TD (Time division Duplex)-LTE system.

Such management of energy savings is coupled with managing the Quality of Service (QoS) resulting from waking up sleeping BSs. As a result, a tradeoff exists between energy savings and delay. Unlike prior work that studies this problem for binary state BS (ON and OFF), this work focuses on multi-level SM environment, where the BS can switch to several SM levels. We propose a Q-Learning algorithm that controls the state of the BS depending on the geographical location and moving velocity of neighboring users in order to learn the best policy that maximizes the tradeoff between energy savings and delay. We evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm with an online suboptimal algorithm that we introduce as well. Results show that the Q-Learning algorithm performs better with energy savings up to 92% as well as better delay performance than the heuristic scheme.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"1 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":"131182617","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 immunity against packet collisions and selection of resource allocation are examined. It is found that the improvement of collision ratio and packet reception ratio (PRR) with the estimation and reservation of resource allocation, is the best way to improve the message broadcasting reliability. However, Sensing-based Semi-Persistent Scheduling (S-SPS), has been proposed for C-V2X Mode 4. The S-SPS faces several serious problems, like half duplex errors, hidden terminal errors, and packet collision errors. We propose an algorithm to enhance the performance aimed at decreasing the collision ratio and increasing PRR. The idea is that each vehicle lists all resource locations of the received packets that have the same random counter. This allows each terminal to estimate which resource location will be free in the next resource selection. Also, the announced next location in the list will be the current location when the random counter reaches zero. This way the vehicle does not need to depend on the sensing process, and resources utilization is improved. Our simulations show a significant improvement in the performance of our proposed algorithm as compared to S-SPS.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"39 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":"132511252","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}

This may result in unbalanced distribution of UEs to eNBs in a dense LTE network with large number of users, even though a UE may have multiple good eNB options for association. In this paper we propose a load balancing framework that can be applied over any existing handover algorithm periodically to balance eNB loads. The framework uses a novel metric based on eNB-availability-option of UEs for choosing the set of UEs to handover to balance load and their target eNBs, while ensuring good signal quality. A specific algorithm based on the framework is proposed and evaluated by simulating on NS-3 over five existing handover algorithms.","PeriodicalId":412182,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 30th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC)","volume":"27 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":"131931292","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}
