The multi-radio and multi-channel (MRMC) UAV communication system is considered in this paper. One source UAV can select one or more relay radios, and each relay radio can be shared by multiple source UAVs equally. Without the center controller, source UAVs with heterogeneous requirements compete for channels dominated by relay radios. In order to optimize the global satisfaction performance, we model the UAV communication network as a many-to-many matching market without substitutability. We design a potential matching approach to address the optimization problem, in which the optimizing of local matching process will lead to the improvement of global matching results. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed matching approach yields good matching performance of satisfaction, which is close to the global optimum result. Moreover, the many-to-many potential matching approach outperforms existing schemes sufficiently in terms of global satisfaction within a reasonable convergence time.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129897509","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}

Based on this, the proposed robust fairness-based EE precoding design aims at maximizing the minimum EE, i.e., the worst-case EE, achieved among all users with the norm bounded channel errors. Further, the formulated nonconvex EE optimization problem is transformed into a series of standard semidefinite programming (SDP) problems, which can be effectively solved by the convex optimization techinique.

If the PMU measurements cannot reach the control center within a certain latency bound, it will be invalid for the calculation and may compromise the observability performance of the whole power grid as well as related smart grid applications.

One of the key architectural features of mmWave is the use of massive antenna arrays at both the transmitter and the receiver sides. Therefore, by employing directional beamforming (BF), both mmWave base stations (MBSs) and mmWave users (MUEs) are capable of supporting multi-beam simultaneous transmissions. However, most researches have only considered a single beam, which means that they do not make full potential of mmWave. In this context, in order to improve the performance of short-range indoor mmWave networks with multiple reflections, we investigate the challenges and potential solutions of downlink multi-user multi-beam transmission, which can be described as a high-dimensional (i.e., beamspace) multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technique, including multi-user BF training, simultaneous users' grouping, and multi-user multi-beam power allocation. Furthermore, we present the theoretical and numerical results to demonstrate that beamspace MU-MIMO compared with single beam transmission can largely improve the rate performance of mmWave systems.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"64 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116025925","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, as the wireless spectrum becoming more and more crowded, it is very difficult to achieve efficient anti-jamming results with FH schemes. Orbital angular momentum (OAM), which provides the new angular/mode dimension for wireless communications, offers an intriguing way for anti-jamming. In this paper, we propose the mode hopping (MH) scheme to utilize the orthogonality of OAM modes for anti-jamming in wireless communications. In particular, we de-hop OAM mode and decompose OAM signal to recover the transmit signal. Then, we employ equal gain combining (EGC) diversity reception to increase the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We also derive the closed-form expressions of bit error rate (BER) for single user and multiple users scenarios, respectively, with our developed MH scheme. The numerical results are presented to show that our developed MH scheme can achieve the same anti-jamming results within the narrow frequency band as compared with the conventional wideband FH schemes. Furthermore, our developed MH scheme can be jointly used with the conventional wideband FH schemes to further decrease the BER for anti-jamming in wireless communications.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115394783","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}

Combined with massive number of antennas, the throughput can be greatly improved but the computation complexity and power consumption can also be incredibly high. In this paper, we study the hybrid precoding design in mmWave three-dimensional (3D) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To exploit the characteristic of planar antenna arrays, we represent the 3D-MIMO channel response with tensor, and find the null space of interference users with tensor decomposition. The null space can be well approximated by the Kronecker product of azimuth and elevation directional array vectors, and thus the designed analog precoder can eliminate inter-user interference. Combined with the baseband digital precoding, which find the maximal projection direction of the desired channel on the null space, the conventional zero-forcing block-diagonalization (ZF-BD) precoding method is extended to tensor context with constant-modulus constraint of null space elements. Since there are massive antennas and only limited RF chains, the proposed method has larger freedom to suppress interference.

Impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar, which has strong penetration and high-range resolution, has been extensively applied to detect and count people. Current signal processing methods that rely on IR-UWB radar include three basic steps: the removal of the direct current (DC) component, bandpass filtering and clutter signal removal. An environment-dependent threshold is manually established to select effective peaks for counting. However, the steps that are employed to obtain cleaner signals may also eliminate significant information. In this paper, a novel approach using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed. This data-driven method learns and directly obtains features from radar data and analyzes them to automatically produce results. It addresses the challenge of counting people in various complex scenes, in which signal processing methods are inadequate. A series of experiments are conducted in the Caffe platform; the results indicate that: (i) some signal processing approaches are harmful rather than beneficial when a CNN is employed; (ii) the proposed method has considerably good accuracy and stability in narrow spaces which have great interference on the signal processing methods; and (iii) the results reach 99.9% accuracy for queue counting.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125816444","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}
