One main challenging of realizing practical cell-free massive MIMO systems is reducing the capacity of the backhaul links between the APs and central processing unit. To address this challenge, we propose an efficient expanded compute-and-forward (ECF) scheme to avoid the cardinality expansion at APs. Different from the original compute-and-forward (CF) scheme, the ECF scheme is available for the more general unsymmetrical uplink scenario where all UEs transmit signals to the APs with unequal powers. By utilising the advantage of allocating the transmit power flexibly in the ECF scheme, an iterative power optimization algorithm is proposed to further improve the achievable sum rate. Numerical results show that the proposed ECF scheme outperforms the original CF scheme in terms of backhaul capacity, achievable sum rate and computation rate.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123862865","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}

Terahertz frequency bands, especially around 300 GHz, has been considered for future wireless communications. As far as we know, no work has considered the rain induced interference at THz frequencies. In this work, we evaluate the rain induced interference at 300 GHz. Results are calculated also at 60 GHz in order to make a comparison. We combined bistatic radar equation, first order multiple scattering approximation and full Mie scattering calculations to existing drop size distribution models to estimate interference due to rain. Considered effective path lengths between transmitter and receiver are 100 m and 500 m and the effect of selected drop size distribution is studied. Overall interference levels was observed to be approximately 20 dBm smaller at 300 GHz than at 60 GHz and angular dependency of interfering power was much more forward oriented for 300 GHz frequency. The results show that rain induces interference has significantly different behaviour at THz as compared to lower frequencies.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123859284","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}

It is demonstrated that the multi-directional receiver (MDR), as a simple yet effective and practical receiver structure, significantly improves the performance compared to a conventional benchmark receiver design, called screen receiver (SR). In MDR, multiple photodetectors (PDs) are placed on different sides of a handheld device, e.g., a smartphone. The channel condition number, defined as the ratio of maximum to minimum eigenvalues of the channel matrix, is statistically studied for MDR and SR. It is observed that the highly reduced values of channel condition numbers for MDR result in more than 16 dB reduction of required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for SMX and SM at a target bit error ratio (BER). It is shown that, particularly for a high target spectral efficiency, incorporating MDR in conjunction with an appropriate MIMO technique can be a effective solution for future LiFi applications.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133896501","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 moving D2D-enabled heterogeneous ultra-dense networks (H-UDNs), it will cause heavy system overhead from the frequent mode selection between D2D mode and cellular mode, which is also belong to handover strategies. Thus, the optimization of mode selection strategy is needed urgently. In this paper, for the mode selection occurring from cellular communication mode to D2D communication mode (C2D), we propose a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) based multi-attribute D2D transmitter choosing strategy. The proposed strategy implements FFNN model, meanwhile combine the stochastic geometry based long-term analytical results with instant parameters involved in mode selection process. As a result, our proposed strategy brings improvements to the mode selection performance, which can be observed in reducing the mode selection probability and increasing the D2D mode dwell time. Moreover, the system overhead is further reduced on the basis of achieving full-spectrum reuse.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132749669","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, the number of supported users cannot be larger than the number of RF chains in hybrid MIMO architectures. To break this fundamental limit, we introduce the concept of sparse code multiple access (SCMA) with beamspace MIMO, then a useful upper bound on the average symbol error probability is obtained through the union bound. The bound is tight in beamspace mmWave MIMO-SCMA systems for high SNR regions. The analytical result is compared with simulations, and the results confirm the effectiveness of the analysis for mmWave MIMO-SCMA channels.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132614337","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}

This allows to better understand the impact of resilient flow placement under constrained capacity and latency on network performance. Results show that for critical systems, objective functions relating to link capacity result in poorer network performance as latency and resilience are more limiting factors. While optimizations for maximum resilience increase network usage, with tight latency constraints they are comparable in performance with link capacity optimization, while providing more resilience against failures.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"330 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115969493","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}

Conventional device-free radio-based systems for counting targets rely on localization and data association (i.e., individual-centric information) to infer the number of targets present in an area (i.e., crowd-centric information). However, many applications (e.g., affluence analytics) require only crowd-centric rather than individual-centric information. Moreover, individual-centric approaches may be inadequate due to the complexity of data association. This paper proposes a new technique for crowd-centric counting of device-free targets based on unsupervised learning, where the number of targets is inferred directly from a low-dimensional representation of the received waveforms. The proposed technique is validated via experimentation using an ultra-wideband sensor radar in an indoor environment.","PeriodicalId":426086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115613757","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}
