We obtain the optimal harvesting ratio to maximize the expected throughput for direct transmission (DT) and decode forward (DF) relay under outage constraint, respectively. Our results reveal that the optimal harvest ratio for DT is dominated by the outage constraint while for DF relay, by the data causality.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"22 13 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":"124497305","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 order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to understand the underlying physical propagation phenomenon in underground mines. Accurate and efficient channel models including large-scale fading characteristics are crucial for the design and performance evaluation of VLC systems. However, the characteristics of the underlying VLC channels have not been sufficiently investigated yet. In this paper, based on the recursive channel model, a path loss channel model is proposed precisely with the path loss exponent determined by three different trajectories in the mining roadway and working face environments. Taking different numbers of transmitters into account, both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios are considered. Our results demonstrate that the path loss exhibits a linear behavior in log-domain when curve fitting technique is applied. An expression for path loss as a function of distance is derived. Finally, root mean square (RMS) delay spread has been investigated and analyzed.","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":"130835929","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 investigate an MRC-WPT system with multiple transmitters, one intended receiver and one unintended receiver. We formulate the problem of maximizing power of intended receiver by designing coil winding numbers of inductors in MRC circuits. Meanwhile, the proposed design should satisfy the total power and manufacturing cost constraints, as well as the power security demands.

Researchers recently note the potential of social network analysis to design wireless networks more efficiently. In this paper, we present a very original view to take advantage of clustering coefficient in social network analysis to develop more effective ad hoc networking without the need of global network information. We start from random geometric graph to view the communication range of a wireless node as a disc, which is equivalent to examining the outage probability of links. Under stochastic geometry analysis of interference, the impacts of density and traffic of nodes on the connectivity can be therefore analyzed. Similar to the structural holes in social networks, the ad hoc networks suffer from the void region problem in the geographical routing, which is even more harmful in ultra dense networking environments. Discarding the detailed global routing table, we surprisingly show that the local estimation of clustering coefficient of nodes can significantly improve the void problem handling to result in more effective ad hoc networking.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"C-36 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":"127237294","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}

Continuous measurement campaign was conducted on a city expressway through the complex dense urban area in Wuhan, China. Small-scale channel characteristics including power delay profile (PDP), amplitude fading distribution, K-factor, delay spread and doppler shift were obtained, respectively. Specifically, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of root mean square (RMS) delay spreads and RMS doppler spreads in non-congestion scenario and congestion scenario were all fitted well with Lognormal distribution. We also found that different intensity of traffic and speed of vehicles have little effect on RMS delay spreads, but have a big impact on RMS doppler spreads. According to estimation outcomes, the V2V channel characteristics in Chinese urban scenario were different from the previous measured results in European cities. All of these conclusions in this paper can provide references to design the wireless communication system for V2V channel.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"360 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":"125648433","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, the localization problem is cast as a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator, which is also proved to coincide to maximum likelihood (ML) estimator.

The scheme utilizes joint polarization-QAM to promote energy efficiency by taking the advantages of both QAM and polarization modulation in the linear and nonlinear areas of PA, respectively. However, the energy efficiency is effected by the changes of the factors such as modulation orders, PA characteristics, channel of polarization mode dispersion, channel compensation matrix and symbol error rate (SER) and data rate requirements. In addition, they can also interact with each other. To optimize energy efficiency, the energy efficiency maximization problem regarding these factors is formulated, and an improved algorithm based on differential evolution is proposed to obtain competitive performance when solving the problem. Therefore, the energy efficiency optimization scheme in this paper enables not only adaptation of modulation as adaptive polarization-QAM scheme, but also joint adjustment of PA characteristics and channel compensation matrix to achieve higher energy efficiency. The simulation results under the same SER threshold show that the energy efficiency of proposed energy efficiency optimization scheme based on improved differential evolution with joint polarization-QAM can be improved by up to 43% compared with adaptive polarization-QAM scheme in OFDM systems.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"58 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134005297","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}

We then propose to add artificial noise (AN) on remaining paths to mask the information signals. The corresponding average secrecy rates are approximately derived in closed form. Analytical and simulation results show that the secrecy performance can be considerably improved with the help of path selection, and further improved with the AN aided approach. The optimal values of the selected path number and the power allocation between information signals and AN are also investigated.
