We aim to optimize the EE whilst satisfying certain quality-of-service (QoS) requirements in regard to transmission rate and energy harvesting at both the macro-cell and small-cells. The corresponding joint beamforming and power allocation in the presence of intra- and inter-cell interference constitutes a EE maximization problem that is non-convex, and hence very challenging to solve. In order to solve this problem, we propose to separate the beamforming design and power allocation processes. In particular, different from the the conventional linear zero-forcing beamforming where the beneficial interference is removed, a partial zero-forcing approach has been proposed by differentiating the energy harvesting users and information decoding users in order to improve the EE. Our findings show that the EE can be significantly improved through the integration of CoMP-SWIPT in HetNets.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"29 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":"132588568","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}

To improve the channel estimation accuracy, a method is proposed to allocate measurements among segments according to the average power delay profile (APDP) of UWB channel. Bernoulli random matrices are generated to perform sensing and orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is employed for signal recovery.

We introduce a linear predictive coding (LPC) based compression algorithm, which includes three main modules, linear predictor, piecewise quantizer and arithmetic coding. The linear predictor is used to eliminate redundancies caused by the correlations of LTE signals. According to the distribution characteristics of the output from the linear predictor, a piecewise quantizer is designed to decrease the quantization noise. To get extra coding gain, arithmetic coding is applied based on the output codebook from the piecewise quantizer. Furthermore, an alphabet reconstruction scheme is proposed to reduce the complexity of arithmetic encoding and decoding. Omitting the up/down-sampling and low-pass filtering operation in traditional schemes, our solution has simpler structure, but demonstrates better compression performance with comparable computational complexity. Remarkably, our scheme presents strong flexibility to different load ratios. Taking 40% load ratio as an example, within 2% error vector magnitude (EVM) distortion, our algorithm can achieve 23% compression ratio for uplink and 17% compression ratio for downlink, which has nearly 15% gain compared with the traditional algorithm.","PeriodicalId":418396,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"44 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":"128602842","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}

Currently, vision-based and sensor-based methods are widely used. However, most existing systems based on sensors can only work in some fixed locations where sensors have been installed; visionbased systems have requirement on the scope of vision and devices. In this paper, we propose a system that utilizes WiFi Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) in a smartphone for the recognition of activity. It has two advantages: one is that it is contactless and the other is that the hardware facilities are more universal. The system uses the classifiers and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to train the relation model between the WiFi signals and the activities. We took about one month to obtain continuous data of WiFi device in the same conditions and analyzed the challenge and lessons of the case studies of building a model that can address this nonlinear relationship problem. We made groups experiments to analyze RSSI and made comparison tests base on Channel State Information(CSI). The result of experiments shows the potential of utilizing WiFi signals of the environment for ambient stimuli by human via smartphones. As a preliminary exploration for activity classification, the system utilizing RSSI achieved a mean average precision of 95% based on four Machine Learning methods and up to 97.7% based on CNNs.","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":"134143612","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}

SDP technology is to break down the processing function of protocol stack and modularize to a granularity of basic functional blocks, and the SDP controller configures the functional blocks to form specific protocol stacks for service provisioning, which makes the network more flexible.
