However, these spectrums pose challenges in terms of the quality of the communication link, including large path-loss and limited coverage, as well as difficulties in system and antenna design. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have recently been proposed as a promising low-cost and low-power consumption solution to enhance the performance of wireless communication systems. However, beamforming with RISs can be difficult, especially in the presence of beam widening requirements, which aim to produce wide beams for cell or sector-wide broadcasting, among other applications. In this paper, a new approach for beam widening in RIS-assisted communications using genetic algorithms is proposed. The focus is on using phase-only tapering to achieve wide beams while minimizing sidelobes (SSL) and beam ripple. To address this problem, two cost functions are developed and optimized using genetic algorithms. The optimization results in a codebook of 1-blt phase patterns with varying beamwidths, making it possible to widen the beams without requiring extra controllers or specific element designs. The proposed approach is evaluated through simulation results, which demonstrate its effectiveness in achieving wide beams while maintaining a low level of sidelobes and beam ripple.","PeriodicalId":65870,"journal":{"name":"公共管理高层论坛","volume":"29 1","pages":"24-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83112345","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 fingerprint is a dataset including the measured RSS values at pre-planned Reference Points (RP) for a set of reference transmitters. For a given RPs' spatial distribution, the RSS values are however affected by the intrinsic temporal and spatial uncertainties in the indoor wireless channel, hence constraining the positioning accuracy. To address this issue, we propose an algorithm to predesign the RSS values at each RP using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology. In the proposed method, the RIS reflection coefficients are obtained to maximize the difference between the RSS values between the RPs.

The user-centric approach allows for dedicated network services to be provided at the granularity of the user. A novel User-Centric Network (UCN) architecture is proposed in this work, which includes key design principles, corresponding network elements as well as procedures. It is envisioned that UCN is distributed in nature by leveraging enabling technologies like Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Distributed Hash Table (DHT). In this way, UCN not only provides extreme customization by offering fine-grained services, but also enables autonomous and trusted data control and privacy protection.

Hence, despite the availability of large bandwidths, there has been a relatively slow uptake of these bands for licensed services. To address this, we explore the feasibility of mmWave by experimentally validating the performance of closed-loop control applications with indoor mobility requirements over hybrid combinations of wired and 5G networks.

To support highly demanding applications, in 2017, Semtech released the first LoRa module working at 2.4 GHz, but the LoRaWAN protocol has not been updated to support such a version, despite the wider frequency channels available in this frequency portion. In this paper, we perform a quantitative analysis on the exploitation of this frequency spectrum in the currently released LoRaWAN version, comparing it with the standard EU868 MHz version. By means of extensive ad-hoc network simulations obtained with the open-source LoRaWANSim, we point out the main advantages of the 2.4 GHz version (e.g., higher throughput) and disadvantages (e.g., coverage issues), for both transmission directions, and as a function of different parameters, such as the number of devices, gateways, area size, and payload. Numerical results show that LoRaWAN at 2.4 GHz is a viable solution for scenarios characterized by a high density of nodes in a limited area, whereas LoRaWAN in the EU868 MHz spectrum remains the preferred choice when considering wide environments.","PeriodicalId":65870,"journal":{"name":"公共管理高层论坛","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90791964","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}

While this approach boosts system capacity and frequency reuse, it also raises concerns such as increased signal interference, longer handover times, and higher handover failure rates. To address these challenges, the critical factor of Time to Trigger (TTT) in handover management must be accurately determined. Furthermore, the density of gNBs has a significant impact on handover performance. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of 5G handover management. Through the development and utilization of a downlink system-level simulator, the effects of various TTT values and gNB densities on 5G handover were evaluated, taking into consideration the movement of Traffic Users (TUs) with varying velocities.
