Numerical simulations demonstrate a 50% increase in throughput or a quarter reduction in the number of satellites required to achieve the same performance.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"13 7","pages":"260-263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10528236","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141583434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frequency-shift chirp spread spectrum system with index modulation (FSCSS_IM) introduces index modulation to improve the transmission rate of FSCM at the cost of high demodulation complexity. This letter propose an improved FSCSS_IM scheme to further improve the transmission rate of FSCM by adding indexes with equal values to the codebook. And then we design a low complexity demodulation algorithm which employs index matching to replace the index search matching algorithm in FSCSS_IM. Finally, we derive the approximate BER expression of the proposed scheme. The analysis and simulation results show that the transmission rate of the proposed scheme is up to 91.7% higher than that of the FSCM and 8.3% higher than that of the existing FSCSS_IM scheme, and the demodulation algorithm has the almost the same computational complexity as the FSCM and much lower than that of FSCSS_IM.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"13 4","pages":"138-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10439041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140342759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, our proposed method distributes CRLs exclusively to a lead vehicle, tasked with validating pseudonyms for nearby vehicles.

It detects bursts based on the variation in the arrival times of messages transmitted from already deployed multiple IoT devices.

This study proposes a data-transfer management scheme in the Piggyback network. We have developed an algorithm based on the Stackelberg game to balance the end-to-end throughput and the cost required by working mobilities for each data delivery, and we have formulated a rule for the users to select the best mobility based on the balanced throughput and costs.
