Each beam serves all the users located within a sector using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We aim to estimate an optimum beamwidth and an optimum number of beams required to maximize the average of long-run user rates with a given power budget for transmission and hardware consumption at the eNB. Simulation results demonstrate that employing higher beams increases the side-lobe interference still, the achievable average long-run user rate improves on account of longer sector sojourn time and higher frequency reuse. On the other hand, employing a very narrow beam is also not optimal.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123182604","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 various solutions to enhance the uplink coverage of 5G-NR. Each payload of the user in 5G-NR is appended with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) before channel encoding and transmission. We identify that the overhead with the CRC attached payload is as high as 40% in the cell-edge transmissions. To address this issue, we propose a mechanism to transmit the data over multiple slots with a single CRC attached to the payload. This method significantly reduces the CRC overhead and improves the cell-coverage. Through link-level evaluations, we show that this proposed method achieves 450 meters improvement in the cell-coverage for the VoIP scenario. Further, we identify the under-utilization of resources in the special slots in Time-Division-Duplex (TDD) systems. To reduce the reference signal overhead in the special slot transmissions, we have proposed allocating the resources by jointly considering the available symbols in special and uplink slots.

Due to its ability of fast deployment, it is seen as a potential solution to establish communication under emergency scenarios like natural disasters. The mobile nature of the UAVs offers a lot of flexibility, which can be harnessed to improve the QoS of a wireless communication network. In this paper UAV assisted cooperative communication to serve different user clusters distributed in a geographical location is considered. These user clusters do not have access to any conventional base station which is typically a scenario under natural disasters. Each cluster is served by two types of UAVs: cluster UAV which hovers on the top of the cluster centroid and relay UAV which relays information between a central base station (CBS) and cluster UAV. To achieve the required QoS, which is serving a maximum number of users with limited available power, two major parameters have to be optimized apart from other parameters. These are the height of the cluster UAV and trajectory of the relay UAV. To solve this problem, a three-step approach is considered in this paper. In the first step, an unsupervised learning algorithm is used to find the horizontal location parameters of cluster UAVs. Then using convex optimization to find the optimal height of the cluster UAV under power constraints and capacity requirement. Finally using a heuristic algorithm to find the optimal trajectory with minimum distance to be traveled by the relay UAVs. The wireless channel considered here is a simple line of sight (LoS) with a path loss. Computer simulations are performed to prove the validity of the proposed approach in comparison with random deployment.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126643542","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 relay node receives information from source nodes simultaneously. The Physical Layer Network Coding (PLNC) is applied at the relay node to assist in the exchange of information between the source nodes. Analytical expressions are derived for the average probability of errors at the source nodes and relay node of the proposed RIS-assisted bidirectional relay system.

The prediction of the number of COVID-19 cases is important for government officials to plan various control strategies. This paper presents a weekly prediction of cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in India. A graded lockdown feature, which describes the status of lockdown, is derived and incorporated in the input dataset as one of the features. For prediction, this paper proposes a model which is a stacking of different deep neural networks which have recurrent connections. Vanishing gradients is a common issue with such networks with recurrent connections. Proper weight initialization of the network is one of the solutions to overcome the vanishing gradients problem. Hence, the weight distributions and convergence performance of some state-of-the-art weight initialization techniques have been analyzed in this paper. The proposed model is initialized with the technique which would aid to avoid the vanishing gradients problem and converge faster to a lower loss. This paper also provides a comparison of the proposed model for univariate and multivariate prediction with other prediction models such as statistical model - Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and deep learning architectures long short term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (bi-LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). The results demonstrate that the proposed model gives better prediction results than these models.","PeriodicalId":414087,"journal":{"name":"2021 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122820347","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 work, these techniques are further investigated using three weight amplitude excitation to achieve the best design of a radar array resulting in SLL less than −57dB.
