Due to the unavailability of an external power source, the energy efficiency considered as one of the critical issues in WSNs. Selection of a sensor node (SN) from a wireless sensor network (WSN) cluster to serve as an aggregator or cluster head (CH), considered as an efficient method to increase the lifetime of wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper, we have proposed an energy efficient CH selection scheme for WSN, to enhance the lifetime and average residual energy of a single WSN cluster. The proposed strategy nominates a group SNs as CHs, based on their channel condition with the base station (BS) and their residual energy. The proposed algorithm is helpful in solving the problem of unbalanced energy consumption in WSNs. Furthermore, the mechanism of using mobile sink during the hand-off stage helps to overcome the delay in data transmission. Moreover, the incorporation of energy harvesting significantly increases the lifetime of WSN. In comparison to a state-of-art technique available in the literature, our scheme shows a 33% increase in lifetime and presents a steady decrease in residual energy for the same rounds of data transmission.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"23 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129536771","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 proposed belief propagation (BP)-based algorithm enables the estimation of the position, velocity, and orientation of the mobile agent equipped with an antenna array by utilizing the delays and the angle-of-arrivals (AoAs) of the MPCs. The proposed algorithm also exploits the statistics of the complex amplitudes of MPC parameters, i.e. amplitude information (AI), to calculate the detection probabilities of the features. It is therefore suitable for unknown and time-varying detection probabilities. For improved initialization of new virtual anchor (VA) positions, the states of unobserved potential VAs are modeled as a random finite set and propagated in time by means of a \"zero-measurement\" probability hypothesis density filter. We analyze the proposed BP-AI-based SLAM algorithm using synthetic and real measurements enabling robust localization in a challenging environment.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122959978","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 G.metro passive WDM allows single fiber working (SFW) operation by separating the up- and downstream into two wavelength windows in the C-band. More importantly, the newly-standardized wavelength-agnostic interface (G.metro) enables autonomous wavelength tuning at the tail end given the connected port at the remote filter node. This significantly eases the network operation and reduce the optical transceiver cost.

Mobility support is one of the essential features of a LiFi network. Therefore, the system should support handover (HO) and be able to achieve a reliable connection when users are on the move. However, this is a challenging task, because optical sources and detectors are directional and an individual LiFi access point (AP) typically has a limited coverage area. In this study, an omnidirectional user equipment (UE) configuration is considered to alleviate the channel variation caused by user movement, device rotation and link blockage. The simulation results show that the omnidirectional UE configuration can effectively improve the LiFi link quality for moving users. In addition, it also leads to improved link throughput.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"56 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124481984","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 the MPAC method, the device under test should be located within the entire test volume to ensure the accuracy of the MIMO OTA testing results. As the size of wireless terminals increasing, how to determine the maximum of test volume size (MTVS) becomes crucial. In this paper, we present a new method to calculate the MTVS of the ellipsoid-shaped test volume (horizontal plane is round) for any selected channel model and probe configuration. Compared with the sphere-shaped test volume, the ellipsoid-shaped test volume can support the testing of larger wireless terminals without extra expenditure. The MTVS in two different shapes is compared by proposed indicators. By changing the probe positions, the effect of the probe positions on MTVS of the ellipsoid-shaped test volume is studied to obtain a larger MTVS. Based on the simulation results, it is concluded that using the ellipsoid-shaped test volume can obtain a larger test volume size, which is more in line with the needs of MIMO OTA testing.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128201963","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, we present a fully-distributed dynamic state estimation algorithm using PMU measurement data. The dynamic state estimation is jointly designed with an innovation-based attack detection scheme to limit communication overhead. An attractive feature of our work is that each control area utilizes a local model of reduced dimension. The design of our algorithm uses an approximation to the state covariance matrix, which allows for a trade-off between computation, communication, and accuracy.

In the massive uplink grant-free communications, users can conduct uplink instant transmissions without grant to reduce signaling overhead as well as the latency. Multiusers' data symbols are detected using the message passing algorithm (MPA) aided by the exact a priori information of the active users. However, prior knowledge of the active users is impractical in a grant-free communication system due to randomness in users' activity. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a compressive sensing based SCMA system for grant-free massive machine type communications. In the proposed large SCMA system, the active users are detected using a two-phase procedure and then MPA-based receiver is adopted for active users' data symbol detection. The ability of user detection, false detection probability, and bit error rate performances are analyzed over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels. The corresponding results provide useful insight to design a large SCMA system in situations such as massive machine type communications where prior user-activity information is not readily available.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133365893","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}
